THIS MOD IS DISCONTINUED, PLEASE DO NOT ASK FOR UPDATES.

***POSSIBLE FIX FOR HEARTHFIRE CTD AT BOTTOM OF DESCRIPTION***

The Collector's Vault is a 'basement' mod for the standard player houses in Skryim. The Vault is accessible from all of the standard houses and is a useful place to store and display your weapons, armour and anything else you collect on your travels.

I made this mod for myself as other 'basement' mods either didn't include what I wanted, included way too much or were too fiddly to use. I wanted somewhere that I could easily access from any of my houses that allowed me to store and show my ever-growing collection of weapons and armour. This is the result.

The Vault is free and accessible once you have unlocked any of the standard player houses. The trapdoors are locked to begin with but can be opened with the key that unlocks the house, just make sure it is in your inventory.

• Version 1.3 - Added safe, wood chopping block and mannequin to Blacksmithing room, strongbox to Entrance room and 2 chests to Weapon room.
• Version 2.0 - Complete redesign, added more mannequins, bookshelves, display cases and storage

>> KNOWN ISSUES...

• Some sheild models merge into the wall when mounted on the plaques. This is due to the shield model within the game rather than the mount.
• Some weapons don't mount properly. Again this is due to the models themselves.
• The mannequins can move around on loading. This is because their scripts run low in the order, especially with so many in one place. It's a bug with the game.
• If your last save before the update was inside the Vault then you may notice odd things going on. Others may find things in places that they shouldn't be. This should rememdy itself once you have been in and out of the Vault a few times. It takes a while for the game files to sort themselves out.
• Slow load time on entering. This is because the file number of interactive containers is very high, the game takes a long time to run the scripts on loading the CV.
• DOES NOT WORK WELL WITH HEARTHFIRE! You need to install a copy of the original Breezehome navmesh to fix the crash to desktop problem. Simply download the file and copy it to your ..\Skyrim\Data folder. You should rename your existing file to .old or something first so that you can go back if you encounter any problems.
