Blacksmith's Basement - BHM - Vanilla Skyrim Edition

Adds a linked, functional basement to the Vanilla player houses that automatically sorts and stacks crafting material as PHYSICAL ITEMS on shelves.

IMPORTANT - This version of the mod is for players who do not own all 3 Skyrim DLC. For the full DLC version click here - https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=387272888&searchtext=


=========
Description
=========

Blacksmith's Basement adds a linked basement to each of the Vanilla player houses. The primary purpose of this basement is to automatically sort all crafting materials in the players inventory and display them throughout the room as individual physical items. The basement also contains the full suite of crafting, improving and enchanting appliances.

The basement is either automatically added upon the acquisition of a player house (Whiterun), or purchasable as a house decoration from the steward of the applicable town (Riften, Markarth, Windhelm and Solitude). While the same singular basement is accessible from any of these player houses, the exit ladder will return the player to the same house they entered from. This mod can therefore not be used for teleportation.

The basement's sorting system handles all items used in the crafting or improvement of any weapon or armor in Skyrim. This includes Soul Gems and materials used in the creation of Jewellery.

Future BHM House Mods
====================

Due to limitations imposed by Steam's workshop, I have decided to reorganise the way in which this mod series will be released. The series will now be a set of 2 mods, and the modular aspect that I intended to include will be provided for within the game itself.

The first will be this mod (Blacksmith's Basement), and it will eventually include -
- The crafting supplies room already available in the mod.
- An ingredients supply/stocking room, available in the same basement;
- A cooking supply/stocking room, available in the same basement;
This mod will likely be renamed upon the release of more of the above features. (Most likely to 'Crafter's Basement' or something similar.

The second mod will be a collection and display mod. This mod will alter the player houses rather than creating a separate room (like the basement does). I intend to release this mod within the next 2 weeks. The mod will include -
-The Scholar's Library - A set of book shelves that automatically maintains a collection of 1 of each world book that the player brings home. These shelves are linked between the player houses. (This feature is 90% completed and will be available on release).
- Mask/Claw/Insect Jar display shelves - These shelves will be linked between player houses. (This feature is 50% completed).
Treasure Hunter's Map - A world map that automatically stores the treasure maps in a players inventory, while providing clues as to the general location of each treasure. As above, this map will be linked between player houses.

I would eventually love to tackle daedric artifacts, weapons and armor, however such a project would require skills outside of my immediate skillset (A Modelling/Texture artist), and as such I am reluctant to commit to anything.
