Hmm...what's the word I'm looking for...


it's right on the tip of my tongue...


oh yeah!


Drool-tastic!


This is a gorgeous place, Yevic. I love it. :wub:

Would I be correct in assuming from the windows that this is an exterior home?

If so - Have you got some weather modification scripts in place to stop it raining inside?

Looks beautiful anyway :foodndrink:

It's an interior home. Eltz uses the same method as Seaview to display the exterior, ie., transparent windows and 'screenshots' of the landscape beyond the windows. The effect is quite nice, with no FPS loss.

Excellent castle BTW Yevic. I've been living in it since it was released on ORE and still find it amazingly beautiful.

Gorgeous work, Yevic. You've actually induced me to dl a house mod, something I thought would never happen. :foodndrink:

Well, it looks quite nice. I shall bookmark it and check it out sometime later.

Thanks Greenie! :wave:
Hex_Off, as adiuvo said, it's all interior. It uses the same trick from Castle seaview.
Adivuo, thanks! I'm glad you like it :hehe:
The Magician, well I'm honored you chose mine to download, enjoy!

Thanks for the answer. I must say I'm impressed. I'll probably download it once I get round to being able to play again

Bump for the weekend :celebration:

does look very good, downloading as soon as i start up my new game

Yevic, I've said it before but it's worth repeating: this castle looks really wonderful!

I'm normally very much a 'cottage player' - I tend to get lost in huge castles - but this one looks so irresistable that I have to make an exception.

Thanks
Emma, I'm glad you like it enough to make an exception :blush:

I've got a new version up, with a few bug fixes for anyone interested :celebration:

Agh! How did I miss this?! :facepalm:

Well, rectified now. (downloading as I type...)

Beautiful! :thumbsup:

enjoy!

I'm having an issue with castle eltz, well....not with the castle itself, but the mod. I was buying some things from a shop and I was suddenly given the key to castle Eltz. It's happened a few times, but I can't remember what I bought right now. I'll keep playing and try to trigger it again.


shopping spree!!! :bolt:
