Fishermans Cottage

 

Here are some pictures of the interior of the cottage. Upstairs basic and homely.


Most important item is your treasure chest!

Above is the landing area with nice touches reflecting the fisherman owners taste.

Below is the lower level showing your meal table, cooking and storage areas.

 

I am happy with the way this came out, neat and uncomplicated.

Next I will show the exterior in more detail.

Fishermans Cottage


So after a long time I ventured back to the Creation Kit to create a small MOD mainly to pick up on my skills again, the time away has left my skills very rusty.

I want to do something small and actually looked for a good tutorial that would cover the basics and a bit more. I found an excellent one with some nice tips on the TES Alliance website.

I decided on a basic house MOD for a player just starting out in the game, although I know those will be pretty rare these days seeing Skyrim has been around for so long now.

Enter the Fishermans Cottage MOD.

I placed the Cottage just across from Riverwood and the basic back-story is that the fisherman owner left in search of treasure after coming across a Map hidden in some chest at the bottom of the river while out fishing one day.

The Player enters the cottage and finds the Fisherman's Journal with an explanation and voila! you can stay until he returns...which may or may not happen depending on how far I want the MOD to go.

The MOD is Lore friendly and reflects the Players rank at the beginning of the game. You get ample storage, cooking and some basics inside and outside a tanning rack and wood chopping block with more fishing accessories. No over the top stuff here! however it is a nice place to rest up and store your goodies with proximity to Riverwood to trade and learn Smithing and Alchemy.

Next up, see how this turns out.
