"worries about the cow getting out the back gate, and leaves the side gate open" (snicker)

[@FebrithDarkstar]

Lol yeh they didn't actually show any interest in going out that way so I felt it was safe to leave that one open - I needn't have worried anyway apparently!

[@antiquegeek]

The inside is very high quality without being over the top. Very warm and inviting. The outside is great, especially how it draws you from space to space. Walking to look at the tree, leads to the garden, leads to the livestock, leads to the forge and right back to the front. As far as the cow not running off as advertised that's merely realism in the AI. They can be very contrary in rl as well. Teach one to moo on command and it will do so right up until you want to show a friend. Then you can wave arms and plead and it will just stand there with that vague "what's he on about now then?" look. Walk back to the house embarrassed for even bringing it up with your friend and cursing your ego that wanted to show off and you will hear the cow singing arias as your feet touch the porch steps.

[@FebrithDarkstar]

LOL aint that the way it goes though?:)

[@christophermills7693]

last time I was this early I was on a prison ship to morrowind......

[@BionicleJackson]

I think I enjoyed the outside property as much as the in, that doesn't happen often and I'm not Febbin' 😁 Dad jokes aside the place looks udderly terrific. It Mooved me but didn't run off with the milk. ❤️

[@FebrithDarkstar]

/facepalm! :D

[@antiquegeek]

Ah HA! One of my people!!! Good to see you milk that opportunity for all it was worth even if it did get a bit cheezy. Oh well no use crying over spilt milk. You are absolutely right on the outside it all looks so Febulous! (we are probably both going to be put in the corner or made to write lines "I will not pun-ish the innocent" but so soooo worth it.)

[@FebrithDarkstar]

@@antiquegeek I just can't cope....:D

[@DarkBlueToilet]

I completely believe that the cows would run off when not being recorded. I've seen Skyrim's AI do some unexpected things before. Also, stone buildings definitely need fireplaces and other means to stay warm. This house seems to have a warm feeling to it as well.

[@FebrithDarkstar]

I couldn't believe they behaved so well as soon as I switched on lol:)

[@pauldunlop1660]

The cheerful Solitude retexture and general clutter give the mod a very English stately home feel, I like it.

[@phatbassanchor]

Gorgeous home and a fab review sweet Feb

[@FebrithDarkstar]

Thank you! 🤗

[@jeancharlesverriest6963]

I had the same surprise with the cows opening the gate to wander in the area

[@FebrithDarkstar]

Glad it wasn't just me! :D

[@queencioch160]

Nice mod, I hope it comes to Nmm Soon. Thanks for the video Febrith

[@tpink3792]

Was blown away by this house and was moving in when I realized my followers do not enter. Womp womp.

[@dillonrawn7258]

I love the home but there was way many bugs when I'd have followers. Suddenly they would be not wearing clothes and system would crash every 5 or so minutes but still this house is amazing and spectacular decoration!! I wish I was able to keep it!

[@FebrithDarkstar]

Yoikes! @ nekkid followers - no-one wants to see that tbh!

[@jeancharlesverriest6963]

Nice " Fountain of Trevi " with gold inside

[@michaeldunham7439]

Been watching for a while now and I love what you do. Any time I download a home mod I look to see if you did a review of it or wait until you do. I had no idea that you like the roses on your moss mod. Don't think you ever mentioned it before.😉 I also have the same concern about picking flowers or other harvestable items in the house. Who knows if they will ever respawn? So I was wondering if there was a house that you could actually see the real, wonderful you living in? Aside from the enchanters and full smithy. Unless you like that sort of hobby. Thank you for doing what you do. It is amazing just like you.

[@FebrithDarkstar]

Ohhh *sucks air in through teeth* - actually I could see myself living IRL in Nordieu - the location away from everywhere, the garden, the climate in that part of Skyrim (I feel the cold something terrible IRL lol) and the cosy sitting room all speak to me - it's tiny but adorable. Not so sure about outdoor showering but if it's only me and Inigo then I might let my standards slip a bit :XD

[@suee1116]

Love this mod! I play on PS4 so good player homes are pretty limited. This is by far my new favourite 🤩

[@FebrithDarkstar]

Aaah cool - glad you found somewhere to love:)

[@jeancharlesverriest6963]

Uploaded it yesterday. A great Proudspire Manor as it should be

[@WolfkinNorthclaw]

This home is sooo sexy! I can picture how it'd look on PS4 and I think it'd be like Proudspire Manor but with more room and more storage! So I think even on PS4 it'd still be pretty sexy. This home just has it, that something you can't quite put a finger on but you know it's there and this home has it. Great video and thank you for sharing it, the fire places are needed and I to would be worried about the farm animals to, the moo-moo's, the chickens, the goats and the horsey are all adorable. :)

[@FebrithDarkstar]

Definitely:)

[@valhallasshelf]

I enjoyed firelight drift,ill try this one

[@stormym5434]

Omg! I just downloaded this mod on my PS4 and found that two barrels in the storage room that’s across from the followers room downstairs each have 10,000 septims! And in the recipe/ scroll container in the crafting room has new spiders! I’m using a pack spider to help me carry my loot, but there are other new kinds as well..I don’t know how to make them yet, but there is a glowing spider among them and another spider that will catch people on fire if they get on close to them,,,and others I’ll let people discover on their own….this house is very cool,,,! Totally staying in my game☺️🥰🌈

[@FebrithDarkstar]

Lol so glad you found one to love!:)

[@Jajaffu]

Beautiful.

[@phatbassanchor]

Three hundred mods as of this very moment... modded to filth is rather fitting dear sister

[@FebrithDarkstar]

Tell me about it!:D

[@Benary96]

Wow this is just what I've been looking for only complaint is no soils so I can have a apple orchard but that's not a deal breaker lol 😂

[@sheadimods2709]

Thank you for reviewing my mod!

[@FebrithDarkstar]

You're welcome!:)

[@hugovonpayns9291]

I know its a little weird, but If your time allows that, would you make it possible to get this nearly perfect house the possibility to have an bard and maybe optional additional housekeepers? I roleplay it and have very bad feelings about letting my wife and kids alone without some guys who could protect them. Thats why Lydia is always the housekeeper where my family lives.

[@crimsonlily2571]

Does anyone know if the "Family Custom Home" mod still exists? I really like this place but if I can't move my children there, there is no point keeping this mod.

[@neilbadger4262]

I put this video on for that exact purpose :)

[@frankytheking9623]

Ciao bellissima 😉 È 1 po che non facevo 1 commento. La casa mi piace, lo stile mi ricorda in alcune cose quella che ho su eso😂 Brava come sempre, un bacio 💋😉✌

[@FebrithDarkstar]

Ciao, Frankly, è un piacere vederti :)

[@sharonjones1880]

If you open the back gate the cow will go out, I don’t know if it would run off tho or if wolves would kill it. It is beautiful tho.

[@FebrithDarkstar]

Yes the first time I was there they both made a bolt for that back gate and wandered off lol

[@urbanexotic]

Feb, I strongly encourage you to use a different retexture when showcasing mods using the Solitude tileset. The texture you're using is so different from the standard one and the most popular ones (like Noble Skyrim) that it's really hard to get a sense of what the place will actually look like in most games.

[@FebrithDarkstar]

That's a great point, though I take the opposite view, everyone's had 10 years to see the dour Solitude stone, we all know what it looks like - and I like to show something a bit different:) It's a great idea though to show it in it's natural state and then my personal preference:)

[@matthewjohnson8556]

I like the details, fuzzy purple rabbits. I don't like the location and I need to make a fertile soil about now. And fyi you missed a door between the bathroom and the stairs going up.

[@FebrithDarkstar]

No I didn't - that was the other exterior door :D

[@arjunsm5774]

In your opinion which is the most luxurious house you have ever showcased?

[@FebrithDarkstar]

Ooooh omg there are a LOT when I come to think about it, Karlov Manor, Laboratorium, Home Sweet Valley, Maple Manor - actually a while ago I did a top 5 of sumptuous homes here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/emTShJqBirGdmdk

[@KriemenGaming]

Wow. Managed to get the first view a couple of minutes after upload. I think that breaks my record. Now to watch the vid. :D

[@FebrithDarkstar]

[@KriemenGaming]

@@FebrithDarkstar I missed that. Too busy enjoying the home. We have been spoiled with so many great homes lately. Love your description of the cows. Sounds very Australian. :D

[@FebrithDarkstar]

@@KriemenGaming Talking of Australian, I've been watching the Aussie version of "Glitch" - brilliant! We binge-watched all three seasons in about a week. I feel I've been missing a trick since the last thing I ever saw was Neighbours (yes with Jason and Kylie - I am that old LOL).

[@KriemenGaming]

@@FebrithDarkstar Don't tell anyone... I've actually got an autographed photo of Kylie in her school uniform, from that era.

btw have you tried playing with that newer custom voiced argonian mod " Lucifer"???? I'd like to know what you think on how he competes with Inigo

[@FebrithDarkstar]

From the mod author: My mod isn't compatible with Bless this home. I have tried to contact the author to coordinate with them but they have not responded to my request. I suggest the "Custom Family Home" mod and your whole family can move in.

[@billcarson1966]

Another excellent review. I love this little place. The children's room really appeals to me bc I have asked 4 of them. That doll house really was icing on the cake. Just curious, are you using a mood for your cows or is that ENB affects? I love the way they look!

[@FebrithDarkstar]

No nothing at all - I just use Vivid Weathers and that's it!:)

[@sherlockrockantium3600]

Does it clash with Felburg? I'm not sure if I installed it or not. I have 117 mods and the in game mod thingy is showing the file names not the mod names...

[@Curmudgeonhero]

Lovely. What software do modders use to store and assemble assets? Suggestions?

[@KriemenGaming]

This is what I use. Creation Kit (CK) to make the mod, CK or the included archive programme to assemble the BSA. (Unless one prefers loose files) If the assets are part of the mod, then they are placed into the correct folder structure and NIFSkope used to adjust the texture paths inside the meshes. You can also use assets from other mods, if those mods are set as masters to yours. There are a lot more tools we use for all sorts of things. But these are the basic ones. If you click on my name, I have a vid showing the basic way of packaging a BSA. DarkFox and others would have more in depth videos than mine. Hope this is of help.

[@gamelover3558]

What is your favourite house mod in skyrim?

[@FebrithDarkstar]

Honestly I can't just pick one - it's impossible!:) Right at this very moment though I'm LOVING Bert's Breezehome in SSE - I installed it right at the end of my game after swapping out my old Breezehome and it's behaving like a gentleman, brilliant mod:)
