Homes of your characters Options

[Lopov]

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:

I found my pics of Cadlew Chapel, after Nykteria fixed it up and moved in.

It is essentially a one room affair

There are statues of Meridia and Azura at the far end

Moving to the right of that an alchemy area, and a study/desk

And still to the right the bed. That is the door in and out at the extreme right.

To the left of the entrance is the dining area

The roof offers a view of the bay

Here is a short vid showing it off

And finally the link to the mod on the Nexus

This place is Awesome! I'm dying to know how you got rid of the blood stained interior of that chapel !!!

@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...

In Theryon - I think the vendors and trainers are all located in the town below the Player home part itself; but that said - I did find a woman coming down the steps to the outside from the pool area; and she was dressed as if she had been swimming. She is the only one I ever found in the house itself; and I'm like you = don't like NPC's wandering in my home uninvited, lol.

Stroti's cabin is one of my favorite of his mods ... oh well, everything he makes is my favorite, lol. But that furniture he made to go with it has graced several of my houses, too.

You did an excellent job setting up the interior!
