Display Your Skulls - Vanilla Edition

NO DLC REQUIRED TO DISPLAY YOUR SKULLS! This is an add-on mod for All Races Drop Skulls, which is required. No DLC is required. This add-on mod adds skull displays to a wall of each of these player homes--Breezehome, Honeyside, Vlindrel Hall, Hjerim and Proudspire Manor.

A Hearthfire edition of this mod is available, which will also add skull displays to the Hearthfire homes. Suggestions and questions are welcome. If you appreciate my releasing the edition that does not require Hearthfire, please consider rating the mod. I'm trying to decide if it is worth releasing non-DLC mods.

1. Description
============

This mod adds skull displays to a wall of each player home in the vanilla Skyrim game:
* Breezehome in Whiterun
* Honeyside in Riften
* Vlindrel Hall in Markarth
* Hjerim in Windhelm
* Proudspire Manor in Solitude

Proudspire also has a second room with skull displays on three walls. The displays of four of the homes are confined to only one wall so it will be compatible with as many other player home mods as possible. They work much like the bookshelves of the game, but display the skulls of All Races Drop Skulls.

=============================
2. Locations of the Skull Displays
=============================

* Breezehome in Whiterun: Enter the home. At the top of the stairs is the place to display 12 skulls, with six on the table and six on the wall. Home is where you hang your enemy's head, after all!

* Honeyside in Riften: Enter the home and turn right. Enter the bedroom. To your right next to the basement stairs is where to mount 12 skulls on plaques. Because some just deserve to have their heads mounted on your wall!

* Vlindrel Hall in Markarth: Enter the home. Go to the back of the house. On the fireplace mantle and above it is a display for 12 skulls. Already displayed is a bonus--the skull of an unlucky guard, who used to be an adventurer like you, till he took an arrow in the head!

* Proudspire Manor in Solitude: Enter the home. Go straight ahead and up the stairs to the dining room. There you will find silver platter displays for 12 skulls. Turn left and go through the bedroom door. Turn right and look to the wall on your right. You may display three more skulls there. If they stare as you lay in bed at night, try counting your enemies' heads on a platter. It's better for helping you sleep than counting little sheep!

* Hjerim in Windhelm: Enter the home. Go up the stairs. Turn left. Along the the wall is a display for 16 skulls on pikes. Because who would not like to see his enemy's head on a pike?

5. Frequently Asked Questions
===========================

Q. Who should consider the mod?
A. Anyone wanting better ways to display skulls collected using All Races Drop Skulls.

Q. Can I use the mod if have Hearthfire?
A. Yes, it just won't add skull displays to the Hearthfire homes.

Q. Where can I get the Hearthfire edition?
A. It's here.

Q. How do I use the displays?
A. Have skulls from the mod All Races Drop Skulls in your inventory. Approach a skull display until the message appears, "Activate Container." Press the button on your XBox controller or key on your keyboard to activate the display. Select OK to the message telling you how many skulls may be added. Select skulls to remove from the display. Select skulls from your inventory to add to the display. Skulls appear on the display in the order you added them.

Q. May I take just one skull from a display?
A. Yes. Like bookshelves, you may take one without opening your inventory. Point at a skull until its name appears, then press the button or key to take it.

Q. Can I display skulls from other mods?
A. Yes, if the other mod is compatible.

Q. Will you add displays for Dragons, Giants, Mammoths and Trolls Drop Skulls?
A. If you want this, let me know.

Q. Do I need to decorate player homes to get the skull displays?
A. No. The displays will be there before you purchase upgrades for the homes.

Q. Were any changes made to the homes other than the displays?
A. Only one: The mounted slaughter fish above the fireplace in Vlindrel Hall was replaced by a Dwemer bust, because it just looked better! No other furniture or clutter was removed or moved.

Q. Is there a sign or plaque with each display?
A. Yes.

Q. Where did you get phrases for the signs?
A. They are quoted or paraphrased from things NPCs say in the game.

Q. What will happen if I unsubscribe?
A. Your skulls will remain if you are still subscribed to All Races Drop Skulls. Skulls left on the displays will be floating in the air where the displays were. You may take them one at a time into your inventory.

Q. Will you answer other questions?
A. Sure! Please ask.

================================
6. Incompatibilities With Other Mods
================================

Not compatible with the Hearthfire edition of Display Your Skulls. You should unsubscribe from that mod before subscribing to this one. No known incompatibilities with any other mods, but some player home mods might prevent this mod from adding the displays in some homes. Please report any incompatibilities you find.

=============
7. Known Bugs
=============

Duplicate Skulls: Like bookshelves in the game, you are able to remove individual items without opening your inventory. Also like bookshelves, items removed this way sometimes remain on the display, even though they are also added to your inventory. This results in duplicate skulls, as it results in duplicate books with bookshelves.

8. Uninstalling
