Riverside Lodge with Sauna

NOW CUSTOMIZABLE: THIS IS THE CURRENT SUPPORTED VERSION
- Identical to Nexus version (http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/14308)

A picturesque and fully equipped player home near Whiterun. This lodge should be fitting setting for a prosperous adventurer - like the player, serving as a comfortable reststop between adventures. I've tried to keep the layout easy enough and the amount of clutter and containers sensible and tried to fit the house seamlessly into the world, not looking out of place. The main building includes the kitchen/living room on top floor and a basement with the weapon/armor/equipment storage and an adjacent underground crafting room. The roomy sidewing includes the sleeping quarters, library and enchanting/alchemy space. There's also a true nordic sauna cabin (complete with a hot tub) and a garden. Automatic item sorter scripts makes storing ingredients and other items into containers easy as a child's play. They can also be turned on and off individually, if you do not want to use them.

===================================================
=== UPDATING FROM PREVIOUS VERSION (Only this once) ==
===================================================

Take EVERYTHING you want to keep from the old house (including NPC's), travel further away from the house, disable the old mod and activate the new one. As you might have more stuff you can carry once, you can use console command "player.modav carryweight XXXXX" (XXXXX is the number) to increase your carryweight limit. Then after you've moved back in, you can use "player.modav carryweight -XXXXX" to restore the original carryweight limit.

=== KNOWN ISSUES & FAQ ============================
===================================================

- If you have any problems, first thing you might want to try is to move this mod as last in the load order (bottom of the list). And make sure you have the LATEST version of Skyrim installed! Certain older versions could crash the game with any house mods. This mod only adds stuff in the game. Nothing is changed, except the few exterior landscape cells where the house is built. The scripts are mostly unique to this mod, not overwriting anything. And for most people they work flawlessly.

- The problems with weapon racks is usually mutual to all racks in Skyrim. Some weapons have such a bad bounding/activator boxes that they work like crap with racks. They can block the access to racks next to them. The orc axes and most of the bows are a good example of this. Or they just place their own activator somewhere that you cannot reach (so you can't remove the weapon). I use the racks only for swords and staffs, which seem to work just fine.

- Some conflicts with other mods have been reported, but I'll usually try to fix all the reported issues, if there's anything I can do about it. But that's just the way it is with mods. If you report any conflicts, bugs or CTD's, please give me as detailed description as possible, not just "this m0d is br0ke, fix it naw!". Usually any CTD's are caused by some conflicting mods, old Skyrim version or some other custom changes to the particular setup. Also changing any ugrid values in Skyrim .ini files can cause CTD's with custom house mods. Most mods that has been built on the same spot or is located too close by will conflict, including Dovahkiin Retreat and Ranger Ridge.
