Severin Manor Improved

One of the problems with Severin Manor was that it is so dark. I added more horn style lights already used in the DLC to brighten up the player home.

I also got tired of tripping over the many baskets. To remedy that I made some of the baskets static so they couldn't be moved. I replace others with food urns, ingredient urns, empty "treasure" style urns and storage urns. I also added some extra chests from the vanilla game. All of the storage is "safe" (no respawn).

I also replaced the worn rugs with newer ones and got rid of some of the small stacks of hay (not the large bales however).

Now Severin Manor is a more pleasant place to live!

NOTE: For those who are unclear, Severin Manor is part of the new Dragonborn DLC. It is a reward for completing the quest "Served Cold" at Raven Rock. There are two prerequisites for this quest which are "March of the Dead" and "The Final Descent". The Elder Scrolls Wiki has a walkthrough of these quests.

Change Log:

Version 2:

- The display cases are now functional
- Changed lighting type in lower level main bedroom to eliminate flickering in default lighting.
- Changed lighting radius in lower level main bedroom to make it brighter
- Changed torch sconces on stairs to be flush with wall and increased light radius
- Changed light type and radius on upper level to make it brighter.
- Deleted most of skulls (see notes to version 2).

Notes to version 2: While I deleted most of the skulls I did not delete the skull and antlers on the wall nor the troll skull on the enchanting table (I believe that one is part of the new artwork). I just like those particular art assets.

Containers: I do not like to change containers once they are in place. People may have things stored in them already. Also I like the default furniture and do not want to change it as that would change the dunmer style of the house. For this reason I have left the book cases the way Bethesda created them in the Dragonborn DLC.

Version 3:

- Changed horn style lighting in player house to Dunmer style lighting.
- Added map marker that says "Severin Manor" allowing player to fast travel directly to house.

Version 4:

- Added 2 more weapon displays to the crafting area wall.
- Changed default music to "Explore Solstheim"

Notes to verison 4 - I hadn't changed the music because I don't play with the music on and hadn't noticed it. As to more weapon displays I added two. However if I add alot of weapon displays it starts feeling less like a home and more like a museum.

Version 5:

- Severin Manor now has a staff enchanter!

Version 6:

- Added static acolyte masks decorations.
