@mALX - that Theryon does look nice. So nice that I'm even a bit tempted to try it out, which is actually saying something, since I generally don't even bother to keep reading descriptions when I get to the part where the house includes trainers and vendors. That one just might be worth it anyway though...
@SubRosa - I know that Chapel well too - it's in a couple of my games (nobody lives in it though - it's just much more pleasant than the vanilla version).
So here's the second house mod I did for Oblivion, though it's not entirely appropriate for this thread, since I still don't have a character who actually lives there.
What happened was that I first found the spot and decided it'd be a great spot for a house. It's south of the Orange Road, a bit closer to the Chorrol end than the Bruma end, almost due south from the waterfall pond that's clearly visible and close to the road. If you're coming from Chorrol, the road there swings up toward the northeast, then there's a switchback right at that waterfall pond and it swings back to the southeast. The spot is pretty much due south of there, in the space bracketed by those two sections of the road. None of the vanilla houses seemed quite right for it though, so it sort of languished for a while (I use Map Marker Overhaul, so I put a custom map marker on it so I could find it again). Then, at some later point, I came across
Stroti's Old Cabin and I knew before I even downloaded it that it was going in that spot.
Approaching from the Chorrol side.Looking back along that path.Since it's in that sort of v-shaped space between the roads, there are actually two approaches to it - one from each side. The Chorrol side is more scenic though - the Bruma side starts out below the cabin and you can't even really see it until you're almost on top of it.
And two shots of the interior.It's still one of my favorites of my houses, and I
really want someone to live there, but it's just not quite right for any of my characters. It exists in all of their games though, and sometimes one or another of them will spend a night if they're in the area. And maybe someday...
