Note: If you are updating from a previous version of this mod, remove everything in your house before installing the newer version. If you don't you may lose your collected treasures

[edit] Description

This mod adds a basement to each house you can purchase. What makes this building mod unique is the fact that it's the same basement no matter which house you buy. Buy one house or buy all of them; the basement stays the same. This gives the player one consistant area to store all his loot.

The player can't use this mod to gain access to houses he doesn't already own. Protection against this has been built into the mod. Now included, for those who want it, is a Display Room. This room has shelves, display cases, and tables so you can show off your hard-earned loot.

An Alchemy area is also now included, which features Dark Jester's Ingredient Jars and automatic ingredient sorting. To initiate the sorting/collecting function, click on the alchemy set located within the Alchemy Chamber. The automated scripts now include a feature to retrieve ingredients with specific potion or poison effects making the process even easier.

Fast travel is now available as an option throughout the basement. If you wish to enable fast travel, rotate the switch on the left near the entrance. You will get a message that Fast Travel is enabled and every door within the basement (including the trap doors located in the houses) will offer the option to teleport to each level or exit to one of the houses. If you decide you no longer wish to fast travel, simply rotate the switch again to disable it.

House return enforcement is now included as an option. By default now when exiting you will return to the house you enter the basement from. If you wish to revert back to the old "house connections" version, simply rotate the switch on the right.

[edit] About Mannequins

If you want to use armor mannequins with this mod, please download Reznod's Mannequins Mod. I won't be adding them to my own mod because of the buggy nature of how they operate. Editor's note: Rexnod's mod has updated a lot, removing most, if not all, of the old bugs with a new system.

[edit] Author's Notes

This isn't your normal building addon mod. This one is actually useful. It isn't nearly as cheaty as mods that add rooms in other "dimensions". This mod is for the player who likes things fairly pure and simple.
