(Request) Alternate start mod with this scenario

[The Dragonwhore]

I want an alternate start, where you start out pregnant with Fertility Mode + in the final stages of it. You simply start at your home, but your husband just died (possibly from a bandit attack, or anything really), and you start out at his grave behind the house just after burying him. So now he can't provide for you and your soon to be born child, so you have to go out to find work to provide for you both

 

I haven't made any alternate starts, so I don't know how difficult this would be, but if it's not super difficult (as in, doesn't require a lot of coding type knowledge), if someone could explain to me how to make it, that'd be great too. As I could then make it exactly how I want it

 

Thanks in advanced

I mean for Live Another Life by Arthmoor, forgot to say that

I have a feeling you'd have a better chance of getting this done if it was more fleshed out. I mean the first things that come to my mind:

1. Where is this home located?
2. How big is this house?
3. What does the house look like?
4. Is the house purely decorative, or does it need an interior?
   1. How many beds for children?
   2. Crafting equipment?
   3. Autosorting chests?
   4. Shrines?

As for making a new scenario for LAL, it's not difficult. In terms of scripting, you can copy an existing scenario and just swap the spawn marker to spawn somewhere else. The real work here is in building that house, creating the LOD data for it and figuring out the API for Fertility Mode; where the house is like 99.9% of the work depending on your vision.

Could use one of vanilla houses or LAL-added farm near Rorikstead as a short-cut. LAL itself lets you take ownership of any of the vanilla houses by selecting certain scenarios.

The house doesn't really matter all the much, as it's intended to just be a start point that you leave. But for location, preferably somewhere on its own, away from a city/town (really, if a base house can be repurposed that'd work)

 

It doesn't have to be big, but should reasonably be big enough for 2 people

 

Appearance, again, doesn't matter too much as long as its not ruins (can even be one of the shack houses like Anise's)

 

And it'd be decorative, as you wouldn't be supposed to stay there
