Black Vine Villa for a true altmer
Eric_Prince
✭✭✭✭
I always wanted to have a house somewhere out of town. Quite place, nice little garden, near water. And since I play almer (and love this race) I wanted to have almer house. Which was quite a challenge with the shortage of good houses in high elf style. Especially with gardens and out of town. Anyway, I decided to modify Black Vine Villa, which I actually never liked because of awful interior. Man, my room is bigger than the whole house, and it's cheaper!
So I modified the house by adding 2nd floor to it. My goal was to create house where one could actually live in comfort - like true almer should.
So here we have nice garden with apple trees, BBQ zone, a little shrine for someone close to my character. Inside we have a kitchen, an alcochemistry table (yep, here my altmer crafts non-lethal poisons), resting area, bathroom with everything your body needs. Then we have a cabinet, a trophy room and a bedroom. Oh, and don't mind all the skulls and bones - it's necromancer house after all!
Absolutely no special effects used. I only used Essential housing tools to align blocks to create stair and floor.

✭✭✭Nice build!
You made a charming little garden! And the house as a whole suits a High Elf perfectly. I liked your take on a second floor, placing those fence pieces so that they are a walkable stairway must have taken precision indeed! A nice creation, especially considering the punishing item limits we have ingame. 2 -

✭I like the BVV home because it's so close to the Cyrodiil home. Best 2 homes to pay for in the game
Very nice!"Billions upon Billions of Stars"0 -

✭✭Nice build. Great work in staying true to your theme.
The stairs up to the second floor is very well done, its no easy feat.
This is one of the homes that needs to be re-looked at by the devs in terms of where they put the invisible walls. The upper area of this house has some badly positioned invisible walls which makes it tough to use.
Kudos... great jobAll my housing builds are available on YouTube

Can't agree more. I spent quite some time working with those walls and trying to make 2nd froor without touching them. Didn't work out perfectly (sometimes it's impossible to run on 2nd floor in 3rd person), but almost perfectly.To be the Chosen One really sounds like lots of fun,

Delphinia✭✭✭✭✭I thought you did an excellent job here. I love what you did with the garden and how you reconfigured the floor plan! It makes that space so much more interesting. Really well done, thank you for sharing 🥂0 -

✭✭✭✭Incredible use of space; love what you did with the stairs and the use of curtains to show some demarcation of space is great.
I also like that you have a Lot of things in nooks and crannies.
I'm so going to come back and look at this again.Tenesi Faryon of Telvanni - Dunmer Sorceress who deliberately sought sacrifice into Cold Harbor to rescue her beloved.
Hisa Ni Caemaire - Altmer Sorceress, member of the Order Draconis and Adept of the House of Dibella.
Broken Branch Toothmaul - goblin (for my goblin characters, I use either orsimer or bosmer templates) Templar, member of the Order Draconis and persistently unskilled pickpocket
Mol gro Durga - Orsimer Socerer/Battlemage who died the first time when the Nibenay Valley chapterhouse of the Order Draconis was destroyed, then went back to Cold Harbor to rescue his second/partner who was still captive. He overestimated his resistance to the hopelessness of Oblivion, about to give up, and looked up to see the golden glow of atherius surrounding a beautiful young woman who extended her hand to him and said "I can help you". He carried Fianna Kingsley out of Cold Harbor on his shoulder. He carried Alvard Stower under one arm. He also irritated the Prophet who had intended the portal for only Mol and Lyris.***Order Draconis - well c'mon there has to be some explanation for all those dragon tattoos.
House of Dibella - If you have ever seen or read "Memoirs of a Geisha" that's just the beginning...
Nibenay Valley Chapterhouse - Where now stands only desolate ground and a dolmen there once was a thriving community supporting one of the major chapterhouses of the Order Draconis0
