Lakeview remodeled with mainhall library

I was disappointed that the Hearthfire houses forced me to choose between a library and an armory. So I broke out CK and did something about it. This is a remodel of Lakeview Manor's Main Hall and Entryway: I made this mod for my own use, so it reflects my taste and needs.

I converted the main upstairs bedroom (rendered useless by the bedroom wing) into a library. Besides the bookcases, the two wall shelves and the sideboard can also accept books. There is also a comfortable writing table, a planter, and a mannequin (perfect for your mage robes). The bottom of the shelf in the back hallway is also converted to take books. Overall book capacity is slightly higher than the original library.

I added another mannequin to the upper balcony, and a safe next to the enchanting table for your soul gems. I placed a large trophy base and another planter in the Entryway. There is small trophy base in the dining area.

The display case by the alchemy station has been removed and replaced with two additional satchels and a large bowl with plantable soil. An additional planter in the upstairs second bedroom gives a grand total of 4 planters for decorative plants or most-used ingredients.

The dagger display cases in the Entryway and Library (new), along with the big case on the balcony, have been equipped with a trigger to properly hold weapons.

It always bothered me that the basement did not line up logically with the rest of the house, so I moved the trapdoor to the cellar under the stairs on the left.

There are a few other small changes here and there.

I have tried to make this mod compatible with Sherzie's Lakeview House Kitchen mod. If you dont use that mod, you MUST build the backroom furnishings before enabling this mod, or you will end up with an empty back room.

You need Hearthfires DLC (obviously). I also recommend the unlimited bookcase mod. You can get it here http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=13661. This mod is no longer required, however.

If you have not yet built Lakeview Manor, all the furnishings and other items have been enabled, (except the back room behind the fireplace) so you don't have to build them. You just need the interior walls.

If you have already build the house and furnishings, you may find some of the old items clipping with the new. This is a save-game issue. You will need to use the console to "clean up". Just open the console, select the offending object, and type "markfordelete". The item will be gone the next time the cell loads. WARNING: Make sure you remove anything you don't want to lose before installing. Just to be safe. This mod does not affect the basement, so it is safe for you to store your loot there.

This is my first mod, so I am still learning. Please let me know of any bugs, and I'll try to fix them.

Note that the mannequins in the pictures are not the mannequins you will get - I use female mannequins for Hearthfire mod. Without that mod, they will be plain wooden mannequins.

Please see my other Lakeview mods (Lakeview Armory redone and Lakeview Lounge - storeroom conversion)

I plan on releasing mods for the, Basement, Trophy room and exterior as I finish them.
