Mod Descripton:
This mod makes an Akaviri (Asian, Japanese) style
island south of Anvil in the Abecean Sea with two
furnished homes.
********************
Features:
********************
* Fast travel or access by pilotable pirate ship
mod from Anvil. (TELEPORT FIRST if you wish to
take your ship to the dock, or the game might lock
up trying to load location you've never been
before with the ship mod.)
* Stable and sheepfold with two sheep. Garden
with some deer like in Kyoto.
* Garden plot and flower beds for use with
gardening mods. Rice paddy on shore below
stables. (Bamboo in flower bed is for decoration
and will not produce ingredient leaves.)
* Fusuma allow you to open and close off certain
parts of the home (according to seasonal weather
and guests) similar to real Japanese home.
* Lots of storage, even in the small home.
* Farmhouse has main room divided into
shop/dining area and kitchen/alchemy area. Lower
level divided into two bedrooms with one doubling
as a library and the other doubling as an armory.
There is a bath house behind it.
* Main house has entrance hall divided into guest
areas, office, and memorial parlors. East wing
was converted to dining area, kitchen area, and
magic/library/workroom. West wing was converted
into doujou, and two bedrooms. There is an onsen
and tea room behind it.
* There is a letter on the desk in the farmhouse
to welcome you and recommend some mods that may
enhance your enjoyment of this one. There is a
book near it with a little story about the history
of the island.
* Good lighting -- well, at least in my opinion
it's good. ;) My computer chugs horribly in huge
houses that have hand-placed light generators, and
I have learned that I enjoy house mods more if I
open them in construction set and replace real
lights with ambient and fake ones. So, you should
be able to walk freely through these homes, even
in the big areas, without losing frame rates due
to lighting. And you will not be living in a home
that's as dark as a stone cave. (People of
Tamriel can create light magic from nothing, but
they can't figure out how to light the inside of a
house properly?)
* Since most Japanese homes have a lot of beds,
desks, tables, and cushions low to the floor, I
lowered most of the ones in this setting and tried
to fashion zabuton tabs out of benches, so that it
could look like the PC was kneeling on the floor.
