Detailed AI

The castle is a large place and in order to fill it up, these ladies have a lot of AI packages taking them to other rooms and the grounds in a way that is at least 16x the detail of regular Skyrim NPCs. They each have different personalities reflected in the types of activities they will do and when they have no activities left, they will hang out around you while you're home. They generally have a morning routine, taking turns waking up early to cook breakfast, free time in the middle of the day, congregate again for dinner around 5pm, take at least one bath per day, and then more free time at end of the day before going to bed. 

 

 

Defend Your Home

What fun is owning a castle with nothing to defend it against? Now there are several different types of attacks that could occur on the castle- so no more getting off scot free hording all that loot in your armory, or perching bored on the wall wishing a bandit would poke his head under your crosshairs.

 

 

Meet the Ladies

Meet Marie- her eyes are up there by the way, a machinist from Cyrodil who came to Skyrim seeking more knowledge of its dwemer ruins. While she continues to study and hone her craft, she serves as the castle's blacksmith. She prefers one handed weapons, light armor, and summons mechanical allies in battle. She sometimes offers tomes in her merchant inventory that will teach you how to summon them as well.

 

Delilah doesn't see the harm in bending the rules to accomplish the will of her superiors. That is, so long as the coin is good and the skooma is pure. Her legal job title is "scout" but she prefers smashing things with a two handed weapon to puny bows and daggers. If you need to dump some hot items or just a quick fix, she's your girl.

 

Clair is a Nord born in a High Elf's body. Her father was an accomplished mage but she didn't inherit his magical abilities, rather his snooty and uptight demeanor. She backs it up though, her skill with one handed weapons is unmatched, and her use of heavy armor makes for a perfect candidate as the castle's personal guard. Still, she is obsessed with magick so she doubles as the court wizard, selling magical items and trinkets.

 

 

Despite her appearance, Caprice is actually the castle's oldest resident, a Nordic princess dating back to the first house who commissioned its construction centuries ago. These details remain unknown to most, including current residents. They know her simply as a caretaker with close ties to the castle's owner. 

 

Outfits derived from Ninirim Collection

 

 

Small Tweaks

I've fixed some things here and there, such as the cups floating on the dining table, removed sandboxing from certain markers, and added a throne instead of a regular chair to act as the player's seat at the head of the table. There are several notes scattered around the place for you to read and learn more about current and previous residents. 

 

 

Pool Time

Thank you, I enjoy this player house, but the lack of inhabitants made me sad. But you've fixed that! 

 

My only real wishes for this would be for the ladies to use the same body replacer the player does, and for them to remove their outfits and sleep nekkid

 

Otherwise, thanks for adding more goodness to a great player home
