Hi!
I'm a first time modder and I'm excited to get involved in TR, a mod I have enjoyed for years now and have finally decided to contribute to, since you do not accept paid donations ;)
This interior is meant for the ex_hlaalu_b_10 shell, I'm sure I've made plenty of mistakes as it's my first time modding any game, so thank you in advance for reviewing! Cell name matches the .esp filename :)

From a first glance the cluttering and density looks quite good. I'll need to take a look at specific object placement for floating/bleeding objects, but before I do that let's address the major stuff first.
That's it, these are the major issues that need fixing before I can dive into the object placement. Overall, not bad at all! Just need to learn what pieces to use in certain situations so you don't use the post/wall, and that will come with time. It was an issue I also had when I started out.
Feel free to DM me for questions on discord or ask in the showcase-shadowgate chat and I'll be happy to help you out.

Amendments made, thanks for the guidance! The Hlaalu tileset was confusing but I have a better understanding of the pieces thanks to your feedback, I look forward to further comments!

Great, glad to hear it. Three or so ints will get you familiar with the most common pieces, and luckily most int sets are very similar in modularity to Hlaalu.
Couple more issues that I notice this time around, but they are few so I will do the proper object pass as well.
And now for the proper review:
Name: TR_BarbedWireKisses_Showcase -- good
Clean: Yes, good
Northmarker: Present, correct
Lighting: Settings good
Illegal to sleep here:
Gridsnap: Good
Pathgrid: Good
Fits exterior: Yes
Scaled miscs: None
Fix the object placements below (and the issues said above) and I can recommend you for promotion!
Floaters:
common_amulet_02
Light_De_Lantern_01_128 (not centered on
T_MwCom_Var_Bl1ChpFood05 x3
T_De_Cm_Pants_09 (floating slightly at the back)
common_pants_04 (floating slightly at the back)
T_De_Cm_Shirt_05 (floating slightly at the back)
ingred_ash_yam_01 (needs to rest on two points)
common_shirt_01
chitin dagger (needs to rest on two points)
T_Com_Pipe_02 (not flush with table surface)
light_de_lamp_02_128
Bleeders:
misc_com_broom_01 (bleeding into bucket)
furn_de_tapestry_06 (bleeding into bookshelf, knot bleeding into wall)
T_De_Furn_Tapestry_03 (knot bleeding)
Other:
common_amulet_02 -- floating off in space
replace light_de_candle_red_01 with a 64 radius variant

Changes made, cheers for the advice. Hopefully I caught everything but you never know! If you have any additional comments/criticisms I'd be happy to hear them, I'd love to improve. My cluttering seems very lackluster compared to what's in TR right now but I assume that will come with time. Looking forward to future comments!

Hey, sorry about the wait. Took a look at the file and there are just a few things left to fix, possible that I forgot to include them on the last pass so my apologies.
Floaters:
Bleeders:
As for general feedback, your cluttering already looks quite nice. One suggestion I have is to try and place tapestries and rugs in a cohesive manner (ex: using same taps in a room/alternating taps). It's good that you are only using 2 styles of tapestry. If I was working on this int, I would have placed another piece of furniture on the downstairs to fill it up a bit more, but what you have is fine. Also, get in the habit of placing candles and lamps with their angled surface pointed towards the player or open space. It just looks nicer

Hi Peter, no worries about the wait, we all have our lives! Took me a while myself to get around to it but tweaks made :) I'll bear your advice in mind in future regarding candles direction, filling space etc. Thanks for the feedback as usual and let me know if anything else needs changing, cheers!

Just the items on top of the bed (clothes) are floating now, so quick fix those and I can recommend you for promotion!

Fixed! Sorry about the back and forth, in my defence I'd just come off a night shift when I'd made the last set of changes so the items above completely slipped my mind lmao, cheers for the review Peter!
