Absolutely stunning work Rider! Seriously! I was gobsmacked, as cb would say, on that first walk up to the top! It's just a brilliantly beautiful exterior! And the interior...I've no idea where to begin so I wont. Words wont do it justice! I will mention though I ADORE the fireplace and candle in the bedroom that I can turn on and off and the lights changing with day and night is one of the most immersive touches I've ever seen!! Eagle's Rest is truly a work of art!

[Yevic]

When I first saw it I was like "Cheater! Thats not on water!"

Then I got to the top

Very clever and a very interesting way of "bending" the rules a bit, and the house itself is magnificent

[DarkRider]

Yeah I built most of the mountain, got to filling in the gap between the mountain and the house (which I had placed first as a visual marker) and had to ask Shez to take a look and let me know if I'd created my way into a DQ!

I was so happy when she gave me the greenlight!

[EDIT] I've added the Interior (Day) pics to the screenshot list for comparison. Also, forgot to note that in two weeks I'll be releasing an updated version and hopefully patches for the mod conflicts.

[DaMage]

so that's what the bed was for...

looks really good!

[Arthmoor]

Very cool, and since you're doing day/night timing on your interior lighting, it would look even cooler if it had transparent windows on it

[grond]

Love the mountain! Love the falls! I'm a sucker for high places - this is exquisite work, sir.

[HeyYou]

This is an awesome house....... I am going to be moving in here with my current character..... my others have way to much stuff at battlehorn to move easily. The views are stunning, and the climb is vertigo inducing. (those stairs with no rails had me crowding the cliff face, or concentrating very carefully on staying in the center of the stair...... and NOT looking down.) The house is well appointed, and very detailed. I am very much looking forward to the updated version.

Awesome work DR!!

[StarX]

I'm filled with envy when I see how good this mod looks. Yet another to add to my already groaning mod list!

I seldom use house mods, but this one looks very nice! Great work!

[Si-Shen]

DR already knows how I feel about the house, and if he doesnt he will have to re-read ALL those praises in the PM again

Personally its one of my favorite houses! The views are just breath-taking!

[Nic-V]

It looks pretty awesome man

I especially that chess like thingy where you move diagonal... Sorry I forgot the name

Won't download it though, I never use house mods

Oh and the day/night light thingy is a cool idea, we had it in Thorlak too though it only worked well in some of the interiors but when it worked well it worked reeeaally well

[Critterman]

I especially that chess like thingy where you move diagonal... Sorry I forgot the name

Checkers I believe

Great mod DR, I love the island its on

[DarkRider]

Finally got around to bringing this to TESA, it's available now

[Iceman231]

For some reason the world boundary is still on so i can only access half the island... sorry if theres a really simple answer, im kinda new to modding.

Hi all, I recently downloaded this mod, its pretty awesome, loved the views esp, it would have been perfect, except...both interior cells behind the East/West wing doors are half filled with water!

 

At first I thought this may have been deliberate, perhaps there is a 'mini quest' to drain both rooms of water (a 'pump' somewhere?)   but now I know that isn't the case...

 

Would appreciate some assistance, its no longer funny to see all the food floating on the surface, though it is pretty surreal to see the candles burning underwater though...

 

I've also installed the latest patch integrating the UL Brena river/ Lost coast, followed the correct load order , rebuilt my bashed patch, everything looks great in the 'outsideworld' so have no idea why only those two cells are filled with water???
