Garif's Showcase

Hello, well I've been following TR ever since I got into Morrowind which was August and I even learned how to mod here (I read the tutorials). So I thought why not make a showcase. So I opened up the CS on Friday and started planning out a house down by the the shore just on the outskirts of Firewatch. Just look around town for some fliers or take a trip to the Queen's Cutlass and speak to Jarold. He'll sell you the cottage for 10,000 gold.

Enjoy

Hi, i had a look at your plugin and saw the following things:

Your plugi is dirty, you can clean it with a program called TESAME (you can find it here: http://tamriel-rebuilt.org/?p=modding_data/utils) Open the program and remove everything but TES3, the textures, the cells that you changed, and things you created.

seaside cottage:
there is a carpet error in the bedroom; because the rug is higher than the ground, the bed and the drawers are floating partially. Place them completely on or off the rug,
the painting is floating,
the bookshelf is empty, place some books and clutter in it,
the fireplace is bleeding,
the bedroom is a bit too dark, place a light in it,
the winerack is empt, place some bottles and drinks in it,
the sack, lying on the other two is floating at the top,
you can bleed the cloth sacks so they dont rest on a point,
the hutch and the shelves are also empty,
the two bayfishes are floating,
the mortar is resting on a point, with these objects it is better to make them bleed. You ca see on the side how far they should bleed,
the same goes for the flasks,
the table with alchemy gear on it is floating,

This may look like a long list (lol, alliteration) but actually i quite liked your cottage. I understand now that you want the cottage to be partly empty, but i would want to see more clutter, especially on the top floor. That way i can see more about your clutter skill, of which i already have had a first good impression. I saw what you did with dialogue, that looked flawless to me, so would you want to make quests as well? If you want that, try to include a hidden item in the cottage or something with which you can start a quest. Succes fixing these errors!

Alrighty, thanks for the reply. I'll fix and add what you said and maybe will add a secret quest. I'll post it up when I'm done.

Sorry I haven't updated this in so long. I've been busy with a ton of things as of late and am only going to get busier but I managed to put some clutter. Heres the new esp. No quest yet but maybe soon.

Hello, glad to see you back again. I had another lookat your lovely seaside cottage:

your plugin still influences the seyda neen census and exise building. I think that is what you used as an example, however you can clean that away with no problems.

There is still the carpet error in the bedroom. The drawers and the bed still float partially. My suggestion is you can resize the rug, here's a nice tutorial for resizing things: http://www.tamriel-rebuilt.org/?p=modding_data/tutorials&section=94178
the spring blossoms poem is bleeding into the scales
dont use a complete series of books in one interior, we want players to hunt to find a complete series. Ill attach a TR book list so you can see with which books you can replace those
place the chair on the carpet,
the fireplace is floating slightly,
you can replace the lightbulb in the bedroom with a chandelier or a sconce
most of the bottles of the winerack are floating on one side, also there should be different bottles and/or booze in it,
you can still bleed the two cloth sacks,
all of the papers on the hutch have to be f'd again and then raised one bit,(they are floating slightly now)
the table with alchemy gear on it still floats.

Im impressed with how much new clutter you came, it makes the house really alive. I like also that you used a lot of TR items. The thing you have to do now is variation. People dont have 20 bottles of the same kind positioned almost the same. Instead, make them different bottles in different places. Then it will be more natural. You can even reduce the number of items to make it more natural, like not every hole in the winerack has to have a bottle in it. The new items you placed are good, and the place was good to begin with. Keep on improving like you do now!

If you dont know how to use TESAME to clean your mods, try Morrowind enchanted editor, it is much simplier. You can download it from planet elder scrols, or i could send it to you.
