Installing my first Mod was just a recent event. I hoped GCD would slow me down as I tend to be "go go go" and feel the game offers more in immersion.
Then I radically altered the feeling of Vvardenfell with outlandish fashions (perhaps thematic, perhaps glaring anachronism) but these were things I wanted, and more lively creatures, or more peaceful creatures, creatures in the air, and those in the sea. I am currently thinking of using a lighting mod, and NOM. I say this because I respect this mission of yours (if I may call it that), but I allow a lot of license in my mods. Still I don't think much of that of anti-thematic to TES.
I have done 4 house plugins:
1. I felt the Grandmaster of the Imperial Legion should live in Ebonheart, and made a nice (including evil gmsts) apartment there.
2. I felt all my Imperial Cult members deserved at least a storage room and cot at Wolverine Hall, fortunately the storage was livable, as it had been V.I.P quarters before it was just storage.
After which I learned about doubling, dirty mods, dirty saves and dialog breaking. Most of which I am learning though websites, classic threads, Mash and Wyre's advice, Enchanted Editor and (as I am presently confused about) TESTool.
3. Oddly my last project "Imperial Liaison" just crashed on load in the construction set. Somehow I gave it like 6 masters with MASH, I suppose that was MASH. I am about to learn more. Anyway, I have the potential for wholesale disaster, but I see you compartmentalized the TR projects, something like Titanic did, still I feel better about it, and would like to help.
I have a forth project, just the creeper fix and where I store other adjusted items, but I was able to deduce why my other creeper mods had worked but this one, and apparently others in a mod discussion someone had started, did not.
Could it be Creeper needs 24 hours if, after opening his dialog, his revenues were set in the save? I don't know. I deleted the Ghorak cell anyway because by the time I had that realization I had the Enchanted Editor open.
I suppose I just want to show my way of thinking, and how I manage.
So I am continuing on my path to understand all things TES, while feeling overwhelmed
I have Corel PhotoPaint and have used many graphics programs with a particular interests in textures since 1995.
I was at the Blender page the other day, but see you have links here to the NIF conversion I wondered at.
I looked at 3d many years ago, but was too inexperienced in code to follow up then. Since that time, I must have 2 or 4 thousand hours making programs, not all very good, but they do all work. And, I am getting better. My coding experience was learned from making VDS helper programs, then NWN mods, then Zmud Mud Client scripts, those were my best.
I did figure out a little BASIC for a macro to make processing this go faster. Do you recognize the reference?

I have been published in the local editorial section of our newspaper 8 times and was an interested Humanities Major.
This project is unexpected, but I was trying to figure out something in the WaterLife Mod load that might be around here.
I would be happy to help any way I can. Being useful is my thing.
