I found such thread in the Skyrim forums but not here so I'm starting one, the main purpose is not to clutter the regular screenshot thread because as new pics are posted there, some pics are hard to find after awhile. Feel free to post any kind of homes of your characters. I'll start with Oberon's home northeast of Bruma, namely Snowdrift Manor. While this house is added by Better Cities, it's called Reagan's House by default and you can't own it. I removed its owner with the CS, renamed it to Snowdrift Manor and made Oberon as its owner. Here are some pics: The manor northeast of BrumaFrom the other sideComing homeSun sets on Snowdrift ManorSunset from the balconyOberon on the balconyOberon behind his deskMore pics of the interiors follow.

QUOTE(SubRosa @ Jan 14 2016, 04:35 PM) Ah... I know that tower well. One of my favorite house mods is Phitt's Mad Mage's Tower? (though it's so quirky that I don't have a character who would actually choose to live there - though I like it so much that I plan on creating a character just for that purpose). It sits in just about that exact spot though. There's a compatibility patch for it, but all it does is fix the land tears and raise it a bit so that the door isn't buried - the two towers are still butted up against each other. So some time back (when I was trying it out for a home for Bogmok, which didn't work out since the place terrified him), I did my own patch and moved it to the next peak over - to the left from the stairs up to the top rather than to the right. Here's a view of it from the front of the existing tower (hereinafter known in my game as "Persephone's Tower").And a shot of the whole area, with both towers.That was Hanna the elf - the animal conjurer who most recently adventured in the Shivering Isles - in the first pic. Since I've hit something of a wall with Bob, I spent last night traveling with her, so when it came time to get those shots, I just loaded up her game and fast traveled up there. She's actually in the middle of finally dealing with the Orrery quest. But that's not pertinent to this thread. Houses... that's pertinent to this thread. This'll take a while, and multiple posts, so I'm going to work my way through the existing posts, and add my own stuff here and there. First, I want to get out of the way the handful of characters I have who live in vanilla houses, since I can just mention them and everybody knows what the houses look like. Bob (in his first incarnation) owned all the houses. He kept his best stuff in Rosethorn Hall, but mostly worked out of the Waterfront Shack. Jean the Redguard is a permanent resident of the Shivering Isles and lives in the Duke of Dementia's quarters. Tim the Enchanter lives in the Archmage's quarters. Kyla the noble Dunmer lives in the Bruma house. She fell in love with Bruma early on, and it was a natural. Lydia the Breton ginger lives in the Cheydinhal house. Jana the Nord goddess lives in Battlehorn Castle. Z'ren the Khajiit stealth fighter and Arlowe Clanler the (randomly generated) Imperial petty thief both live, in their own games, in the IC Waterfront Shack. And that's it. I've got some characters who haven't settled down anywhere specific yet, and a few more who are wanderers by nature and aren't going to settle down (and, notably, Hale the Nord dolt, who doesn't know enough to even come in out of the rain), and everyone else lives in modded houses of one sort or another. I'll deal with those over time. I've got screenshots of some of them already, but this post has gone on long enough.

Persephone's tower - I made a "Persephone's Tower in my game too: http://imgur.com/a/XswZcMy character doesn't live there, she just visits Persephone there, lol. QUOTE(Acadian @ Aug 25 2016, 03:20 PM) Neat, gpstr! So many characters. Lol. Buffy generally lives under the stars out of her mare's saddlebags or in the local MG guild hall. When at the Arcane University, she stays in a custom mod (made by King Coin for Buffy) in an added apartment upstairs in the Mystic Archives that she shares with Boderi Farano. It is basically a redo of the Skingrad house bedroom. Oh, here's a screenie. D'aawwww!!!!! Miss Buffy in her apartment at the Arcane that King Coin built her! QUOTE(gpstr @ Aug 26 2016, 01:47 PM) Seriously - how awesome is it that Buffy is so beloved that other people make mods for her? The Mad Mage's Tower really is awesome - I can't recommend it enough. But it'd take a special sort of mage to actually live there - it was built by a literal mad mage, and it shows. There are portals, sort of like the ones in Frostcrag Spire, except that they take you through a screaming vortex along the way and spit you out at the other end. There's a chest with legs that moves around. The walls breathe - audibly and visibly - you can not only hear them, but actually see them flexing in and out. It's definitely unsettling, but it's very cool. So... first off, the first mod house I ever did for Oblivion - Niben Cabin (with its owner - Jibran the Redguard swordsman - in front) It's on the northeast shore of Niben Bay, a little east of due south of Cropsford. Here's a shot from a distance. That's Fort Grief to the right, and the ImpeREAL Empire fort (I forget the name of that specific one, but it's the one along the road to Leyawiin) in the distance behind it. The dock in the foreground is a vanilla structure some might recognize. I discovered the location first, and decided it would be a great place for a house, then I tried to figure out who might want to live there. I had been spending a fair bit of time with Jibran the Redguard swordsman at that point, and it seemed like it might appeal to him, so I loaded up his game and had him travel there so that he could check out the constuction in-game (since it was my first house mod, there was a lot of trial and error involved). An interesting side effect of that is that it pretty much ended Jibran's career. Once it was done, he just didn't seem very interested in leaving. I've taken him out a few times since then, but he doesn't go far and doesn't stay long before he starts itching to get home again. Three shots of the interior, from different angles.It's all vanilla items, but I was pleased with the way it worked out. I particularly like the light - I experimented a lot and learned a lot about placing light sources from that house (I generally don't use any statics that emit light themselves - instead I use strategically placed separate lights that correspond with fake candles and such, so I can place the statics relatively close to the walls but place the actual light further out into the room, so it's a bit more diffuse and the glare on the walls isn't so strong). In the end, it's not notable in any particular way, but I like it, and Jibran likes it, and it was a great learning experience. Great cabin and dock !!!
