Snow Gate Farm

Description
This is a small lore style nord home. With unique storage, a forge, and a beautiful location.
It is meant for a nord talos worshiper, can be for a ranger, warrior, or mage, but generally for a "good" play through rather than a thief or assassin.

Now on the skyrim nexus http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/46586/?

Why it was made
This house mod was created because I wanted a nord themed home close to both Windhelm and Whiterun but not finding anything that fit my particular wants from a home I created my own.

Location
In order to find the home you need to go just past mix water mill outside Windhelm, and stop when you see a stack of stones with a nordic banner attached, follow these banners up the cliff until you reach the home. Then you will need to read the note near the door, and solve the quest of finding and getting the key; then the home is yours.

What it is
It is a small house with a farm, by a lake in front of one of the secret Talos shrines. It has full crafting stations, and a small archery range to the side of the farm. inside the house there is an upstairs bedroom portion; underneath is a alchemy and enchanting workstation; in the basement is the kitchen area, as well as a small bedroom area for followers, and hopefully children when i figure it out.

the home includes many custom containers and most other things are covered in named storage, as well as some un-named storage space for other items.

The home also has a manikin, lots of shield racks in the main room, weapon placks and weapon racks.
This was designed in mind of frostfall and realistic needs and diseases, you do not need these mods to have this one, but the location of the house as well as placement of items has been effected by these.

I have tried to not give to many items, the outside has had plenty of ingredients added, some obvious, some hidden, but inside most movable clutter doesn’t have much value, except some rare books, pertaining to nord lore.

Incompatibility
The book shelves in the home are static, so they have the look of a bookshelf, or a small container for notes, however this means the static bookshelves are incompatible with the popular Book Covers mod, they still work together, however the books in the bookshelf are not effected by the retexture, because of how the mod changes the textures, anything that changes the vanilla textures, like a texture pack, should still work however.

Also any mod that changes the same area the where the house is located will also not work.

I had trouble finding Snow Gate Farm so it was the middle of the night when I got there and went straight to bed. In the morning I went out the front door and could see across the water, much to my surprise, the statue shining in the sun. What a great, creative touch!!

Tried it out, and love it! Like how you have the storage setup aswell with the containers that look like what you would actually store in them...very clever. and my followers work inside with no problems sofar. only thing i could find that needs a fix are the chairs downstairs near the fireplace and the one in the loft that can't be used. Even with that I would easily give this mod a 10/10
