My first mod. I started it about a year before I ever really finished it and put it out for others to test. It's not made to be for everyone. The lighting and decoration is fit to my own personal taste. I know some people will test it for me and then tell me It's too dark or light, or too blue in the bedroom and too purple in the sitting area. Everyone has diffrent tastes in things.
I did my best to clean this mod with TESAME. As always use mods at your own risk. *shrug* But it works fine for me.
This mod was made using a tutorial by Dragonsong. So it will be in a location that many other houses were put in. I never intendted it for wide use however, so if you complain about it's location, I'll just ignore that complaint. However, if I get enough people liking it, I might move it to a new location for future release. . . or just add the interior of the house itself to The Coven mod when I make that.
My main purpose for this is not feedback on my design abilites (though that is welcomed even if you don't like it) but for feedback on any errors this mod has. I would like to know I can make a clean mod before I tackle a bigger project.
I could improve this mod quite a bit if someone out there wanted to make me a smaller fire so I don't have to huge a huge pipe to try and hide the top of it. A bed that fits perfecting into that little cubby whole of the bedroom area would be wonderful too. ^_^
Lighting
I set the lighting in the entertaining area to be a purplish color. I thought this set the mood well for relaxing with friends, and I really like the pulsating of the fixture I used mixed with the dancing of the flames from the braziers. The kitchen has a more warm and earthly feel with the lighting I chose to use in there. I did put a purple light above the eating area again to obtain a more relaxed feel. The bedroom is set in blue, but there are extra candles by the desk to keep the area I'm writting in bathed in warm light. The section with the bed is purposly darker than the rest of the house.
Rooms
There are three rooms, but several distinct areas. In the first room is the sitting area for entertaining guests. It is a good walk from the doorway, giving plenty of room for entering and leaving. This room also has two small hallway like areas on two sides of the sitting area. One of these 'hallways' is set to display items. It is purposly blank so that my character I made this for could add to it as she wished. The other little hallway has a table, also for displaying or storage. Bascitly I figured it'd end up my catch-all table. Every house has one.
The bedroom is split into two parts by a raise in the floor. There is the study area and the sleeping area. Both areas have storage for clothing and anything else I might want to keep there. In a role-play manner the chest at the end of the bed is for blankets and pillows.
The kitchen is split into basticly two areas, maybe three. There is a palce for the cooking and preparing of food on one side of the kitchen. All the containers are empty in this version. It was my first mod and I was nervous about things when I filled the kitchen. The hutch displays a collection of pots of various sizes and colors. The table area is screened off with stand alone wall screens. between the stone wall and one of the wall screens is a small section used for storage. All the containers in the kitchen contain things used in a kitchen, such as food, ingredients, and dishes.
