>>TROUBLESHOOTING AND F.A.Q<<

>Q. A WALL/TOWER/ROCK IS NOT SHOWING..
A. The creation kit has a known bug that sometimes fails to load large statics. Simply fast travel back and forth a few times (to another location pref a few cells away- the nearest minor town works) as it is the best remedy for this until Bethesda provide a fix. This castle may be affected more than others because this castle doesn't use a pre-built house model. I design the exterior from scratch and make it the shape I want, so it involves many more pieces!

>Q. STORED POSSESSIONS ARE MISSING..
A. Most of the time this is due to authors updating their mods, house mods especially, and as this description mentions several times, backup those data files and save games to avoid the headache! Delete the lastest data file and restore your backup of the previous version to revert to a last known good configuration.

>Q. SPOUSE OR NPC WILL NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY OR DISAPPEARS..
A. Scripting the spouse to move in is a little harder than you think. Hence why almost no house mods have it. Try this mod by 'Amgepo & Emma' that allows your spouse to live anywhere; http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=11370

In regards to NPC's not functioning properly: Quote from the creation kit webpage "There is currently an issue causing navmeshes in .ESPs to stop working if you travel a few cells away from where they are placed. NPCs stop moving and will not resume until the game is restarted. This issue is being addressed, and a fix is in the works."

>Q. MY GAME CRASHES TO DESKTOP (CTD)..
A. This can be from many things. Load order, conflicting mods or corrupt save/data files are common causes. Unfortunately there is not much I can do as the mod is fine, just some incompatibility has arisen. Until then try using a clean save or sort the mod in a higher load order.

>Please try these general troubleshooting tips for any difficulties;

-- Reload your save game or load a different save game.
-- Fast travel to another location then come back to the problem area.
-- Exit Skyrim then restart it again.
-- Disable all mods via Skyrim (un-check the boxes) then enable them all again. Load orders can be issues as well.
-- Use your backup of the plugin data file as described in the first question above.

I enjoyed having this mod while I did, had it for quite a while, until I came home to find the things I put in my barrels were replaced with tomatoes and another food. I was using the smaller barrel to store my soul gems that i've collected all throughout my game (Which I'm pretty far into) Aaaand all of them are completely gone. Everything in the chests were still there, as well as dressers, bookcases & wardrobes. In the end, I guess Pewdiepie was right. Barrels are evil.

@Imperial - You're a piece of useless shit! Stop playing games and go outside and get some fresh air!

This mod is a useless piece of fucking shit. Crashes the game every fucking time you go to the fucking castle.

Hi. Odd request. My Skyrim doesn't seem to download the .esp file for this and Hermit's Treehouse. I'm using Real Shelter which patches based on .esp and it doesn't show up in my load order unless it's in the launcher LO. Is it possible for you to release the .esp on here or Nexus Mods so that Real Shelter will take these locations into affect? Thank you.

Really well done.

The only issue I have with it is that the keep doesn't render at greater distances, instead it fades and you see only mountains and clouds (as an example from about Riverwood's main street and onward).

I'm not sure what's causing this, but from my own experiments with the CK getting custom structures to still be in sight from miles away is tough and the checkbox it offers for no fading doesn't always work.

If you have any thoughts on this, would like to hear them. If you've moved on that's okay too. Still really enjoy your work.
