A simple village expansion for Ivarstead.
Ivarstead always seemed like it should be more to me. There are a number of people living in the inn on a permanent basis. While the game indicates it is a village in decline due to fewer and fewer visitors coming through, it's very clear that those who are in the inn now are permanent residents to the village who have fairly strong ties they can't just cut. Since it would have been lame to throw down a bunch of empty or destroyed properties, it felt only right that 3 new houses should be built for those residents to occupy.
* Temba Wide-Arm will offer to share her house if married to you.
* All added houses are radiant quest enabled, so you may get Companions missions and anything else that's properly configured to use NPC homes for quests.
* LOD has been generated for the area, including trees that account for the changes.

Installation Requirements
Official Skyrim patch 1.9.32.0.8 or greater.
Installation - Wrye Bash BAIN
Drop the archive into your Skyrim Mods\Bash Installers folder, then install as usual.
Make sure the mod is active in the Wrye Bash mods tab.
Installation - Steam Workshop
Subscribe to the mod via the Workshop page, then use the Skyrim launcher to allow it to download and install.
Make sure it's active in the Data Files menu.
Installation - Nexus Mod Manager
Use the "Download with Manager" button on the page at Skyrim Nexus. The installer should take care of things from there.
Then simply make sure NMM has the mod activated.
Installation - Manual
Drop the Ivarstead.esp and Ivarstead.bsa files into your Data folder.
Activate the mod using whatever management tool suits you.
Uninstalling
Due to the nature of Skyrim mods, especially those adding scripts, it is strongly discouraged to attempt uninstalling a mod from your active game. Any mod that is more than pure mesh or texture replacements has the possibility to leave behind permanent changes to your save that you may not want. This is not something modders can correct for. It is how the game was designed by Bethesda. No support will be provided for anyone who uninstalls this mod from an active game and continues on with that save.
To remove the mod: Delete the Ivarstead.esp and Ivarstead.bsa from your Data folder. Then reload your game as usual.
Load Order
LOOT (http://loot.github.io/) should be used for optimal placement.
This mod must load after Skyrim Bridges or the navmesh changes to the north end of Ivarstead will be lost and Temba will not be able to access her home.
Compatibility
Fully compatible with Bring Out Your Dead.
Will not be compatible with other mods that change the Ivarstead exteriors.
