==================
Requirements:
==================

Skyrim + Update.esm
Hearthfire DLC

==================
Description:
==================

Small, simple two-bedroomed house in Solitude. The rear clings to the outer wall "like a barnacle" and has spectacular views of the docks.

Location: Solitude Marketplace

==================
Details:
==================

For PW, B & the kids
Merry Christmas!

Built according to a very specific request, this is a small-to-medium-sized cottage with a
small lounge area,
kitchen-dining room,
bathroom,
work area (enchanting/alchemy and workbench)
and two bedrooms.

Version 1.1 remove the festive decorations and puts the books in the bookshelf.

The master bedroom has a double four-poster bed and the other bedroom is designed for children (though I don't know anything about scripting Skyrim to convince adopted children to live there).

The cottage's front entrance is in the Solitude marketplace, and the rear exit clings onto the wall itself, leading out onto a small balcony (with Hearthfire planters) and then to steps leading all the way down to the docks.

Look carefully around the house - containers are frequently concealed, such as a miniature weapons plaque that is actually a storage box for keys.

You can do what you like with it provided that it's properly credited and nobody's trying to charge money for it.

Thank you so much! This is perfect! This is better than the BB gun I got for Christmas when I was eight. At least I won't shoot somebody's eye out with this.

You are the best! Thank you.

It's very pretty!

Thank you!

Since Christmas is effectively cancelled (flooding from last night's storm knocked out the roads that would take us to family, trapping us at home), I at least have time to sort out any issues and upload this to Nexus. I think I'll console myself by plonking down on the sofa and reading A New Life Carol.

I'm sorry to hear about your Christmas, PS. See, this is where being anti-social comes in handy. Those lucky few of us who fall in the category of Theodore Millon's Avoidant subtype of Anti Social Personality Disorder as defined by the Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory psychological assessment tool (with which I am sure we are all familiar) don't have this problem. We intended to stay at home anyway.

But anyway. Consider this a bump that is cleverly engineered to look like a Merry Christmas to you and mister Bug and Princess Stomper Jr. Or is it in reality a Merry Christmas cleverly engineered to look like a bump? I can't decide. I also suffer from what is known as Decision Fatigue.

ouch!

Aww thanks! We made it in the end - pesky storm can't last forever. Unwrapping presents on Boxing Day? Who knew?

I've uploaded the non-festive version of the mod (decorations removed; books put in bookshelf).
