Mod rant... player homes

[Luminary]

I have played for the games for years, love it, enjoy it etc. I have used hundreds of mods and for the most part enjoyed them, so much effort, so much great passionate work.

Player home mods however...

There are so many player home mods out there that are more like resumes than playable homes, yes they are pretty and large with side quests and beds for multiple adoptions and trophy rooms... But what the heck, they don't have a smelter or a tanning rack... why would someone spend so much time on a mod, adding everything you could think of, but leave out a tanning rack?

grrrrrrrr

thanks

If you're really missing a tanning rack, open Creation Kit and add one?


A propos: I have a player home mod that introduces a complete smithy room, inclusive a tanning rack. So it depends of the author to include that or not. Or they did not thought at that when working on their mod.

I've downloaded lots of player homes that have everything. Not sure where you're looking, but I can't even recall any that didn't have all the things.

Right off the bat, I recommend Riverside Lodge:

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/9567

The nice thing about this one is that there are no separate game cells that require a loading screen.

There's also Mammoth Manor:

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/9710

I'm using this one in my current play through. Again, no separate cells with loading screens.

I used Elysium Estate for a couple of years:

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/4119

It has everything, but there are game cells with loading screens. There's even a small quest attached to gain entrance.

don't you find Tanning Rack anywhere in cities?

Lol Funny, I like small houses mod that have only a bed and a cooking fire. When they cram them with all the stuff? They become unintersting.

Mostly I mod the standard player homes and install legacy of the Dragonborn everything I need and more

Skyfall. The only play home I have used for as long as it's existed. Comes with everything you need. And more mannequins than you can fill.

Try me I've done it ....

I have played long enough that I am attempting to role play and to play in a way that makes sense within the game world... If I am using survival mode for example, it doesn't make sense to live in a castle way out in the ice fields because I would die of cold before I reached it to park my dragon bones. If I am being hunted by the thalmor and assassins or being attacked by dragons, I probably wouldn't live in a sprawling home in the middle of a field. I also probably wouldn't need a table capable of seating 50 people or 20 mannequins to hang masks. And from a practical standpoint, if I am going to smith a sword, I may want to also enchant it using something close by. I also would not want a player home with everything but a tanning rack, because I don't want to ride my horse 5 minutes away when I need leather strips.

There are plenty of cool mods out there that i have used, plenty of cool homes. (I really dig winterhold beacon) But there are also many homes that don't have all the things that would make sense. I have seen it multiple times, but I just tried out East rock estate, a cool mod with long quest, a pretty home, lots of halls, pictures, glowing orbs yada, yada, yada but no tanning rack. so basically unplayable, after an hour of effort.

it's a rant people

CK works with everything but I heard your rant and want to offer up two solutions depending on your character backstory.

Rayek's End is between Riverwood and Whiterun. If you need a place to hide, this place is hard to see even when you are standing on it. It has all the crafting stuff.
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/8285

Undergrowth Hollow is another hole in the ground. Mind the current residents. This one is on the West side of the map just south of the Dragon Bridge on the East side of the river. This is a better place for an alchemist than a thief but if you need to hide from the Thalmor, this is a nice place to chill and craft whatever your black heart desires.
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/62588

I still install a bunch of castles but I don't buy or live in them. I just think they look cool and add flavor to the horizon.

Neither of these will be easily found by anyone not specifically looking, and even then, there will be some work involved.

Thank you!!! I had tried Rayeks end but was a bit annoyed with the layout... beautiful mod though. But the undergrowth hollow is awesome, thanks! (I had looked through the player home section on nexus, had not gotten that far yet.) I did find the frozen storehouse via the bethesda mod list, which is pretty cool for anyone else looking.

I haz the merwatch wizard thinge mod an the golden Plains plantation, the plantation has a tanning rack, a work bench a grindstone and a smelter. It has alchemy, but not enchanting

I'm of two minds on this. You really don't need all that extra stuff that almost all of them add, and beyond something like implementing the Hearthfire stuff or allowing both bedrooms and alchemy benches, I'm pretty happy with the default. Rarely use them that much anyway.

On the other hand however, when they seem to have racks or mannequins or whatever for everything, that's great. It's handy, it usually looks good and it's great for the ocd.
Right up until they're missing something obvious such as the tanning rack or an entire collection, or one of them doesn't have enough space.
I mean, if you're going to start adding spots for collections, may as well add them all.

Over here we have marked spots for the daedric artifacts, over there the insect jars and the paragon gems. But nowhere for the black books. Also the dragon masks are missing a spot.

That annoys me far more than it should.

If u get the "mage home" from the creation club, it comes with a mask rack!!!!!!!

[alexander_dougherty]

Um...... None of the CC homes contain places for all the collectables, they all miss something out. I have them all, so I know they are incomplete.

None of them have spaces for the New Coillectibles either (Green Butterfly in a jar is sitting on a table).

[worm_master]

duno why he dosnt just console in a tanning rack or mask rack hahahahaha
