River Rock Falls
Yes, this is an actual Morrowind post.
This morning I was browsing house mods at Nexus and this one caught my eye: River Rock Falls by The Wanderer and Denina.
I must say, I'm intrigued and tempted to use this when Aeronwen and Neldor are able to afford and maintain an actual home. Granted I'm very attached to the Ascadian Rose Cottage, but it's not perfect for their needs. There is little to no room for Oliver, let alone any additional large animals. River Rock has plenty of room for fields of crops as well as some livestock.
Another thing I like is that the interior looks quite cozy. While the manor at the Pegasus Estate is impressive, it's not really all that cozy and in fact seems to be built for separateness. It's more like a stronghold than a home.
It wouldn't take much to tweak the River Rock mod to make it NoM compatible. Plus the mod creators left plenty of room for users to add their own personal touches to the interiors. The walls and shelves are empty, allowing Aeronwen places to hang her paintings, tapestries, and display her pottery. I think I would also include the pretty glass display cases that came with the Rose Cottage.
River Rock is in its own "interior as exterior" cell, but I can easily imagine that the place is nestled somewhere in the West Gash foothills.
I haven't opened the mod in the CS yet, but I think making the NoM tweaks and adding a few other personal touches will give me something to do while waiting for the day of my surgery. While I haven't officially decided to make River Rock Aeronwen's and Neldor's primary home, I think I can imagine them feeling quite content there. I'll just need to play around with it and see how the place feels.

Yes, they would probably do better in the Grazelands for that sort of thing. Not that there's any hurry. Roleplay-wise, the only sort of house that they could afford right now is the Abandoned Shack.
Speaking of, I just looked at this one in game: Seamless Abandoned Shack. It's very nicely done, but I can imagine Aeronwen, and probably even Neldor, being leery about how easy it is to see through the wall slats. They would both wonder if some weirdo might come along and peer in at them while they're sleeping.

It looks nice, but, yeah, all it takes is one weirdo out and about.
You could go through the old archives of MMH House mods. I wish there were more screenies for those, though.

When looking at the spaces between the slats, I could also imagine the practical Neldor saying, "Those are all well and good on clear nights, but the wind would blow the rain in all over us during storms."
Wow, that's quite a list of house mods. I'll browse through them and see if any jump out at me. Thanks.
