Description & Details
[/HR]
The finest hotel in Blackrose, and by that people mean the only one. In fairness, however, the owner, Helga, has done a remarkably good job of making the damp old Lilmothlit ruins fit for habitation. Accommodation and food is basic but cheap, and Helga has a cheerful disposition and a mean left hook to deal with any troublesome customers who might otherwise disturb your night's rest. She is rumoured to be in an on-off relationship with her fellow Nord, the Barman who runs the adjacent Grey Wizard's Rest tavern, but nothing is confirmed.
This pair of linked interiors form a single building and have been partially completed by Deeza. However, they still require a little fine adjusting and clutter placement.

How to mod your interior
Interior modding carries with it the same responsibilities as it does on our father project, Silgrad Tower. This means that there will need to be NPCs, Containers, Lighting etc. For a really nice checklist that is very, very thorough, try this one from Zurke: A handy checklist to create an interior for ST . Zurke is the most experienced and prolific interior modder I know of so it's all good advice.

Cluttering your Interior
This, like many of our claims, is a mini-claim which means that you can use the existing vanilla layout or delete everything in there and start over. However, whichever method you choose, you will need to bear in mind the need to replace many of the vanilla items with our own BM objects (whichever are appropriate to the owner and the purpose of the building). For more information about mini-claims, read this: Interiors Strategy .
Please try to use the BM objects as much as possible. And try to consider the story behind the owner of the house (which you may adapt unless stated) and add clutter as appropriate to them and the particular locations. This might include foodstuffs, flora, cutlery, paintings, tribal items, custom furniture, bedding and maybe a desk if this interior involves using the NPC as a trader. There are now LOTS of cultural objects for Argonian dwellings including cupboards, rootchairs and so on but other races can use some of our own items too, especially race-neutral objects such as cutlery, ingredients and books. Please ask or check this thread to find out more: Clutter Advice .
Please remember to light the area. Imperial lighting should mainly be used in Gideon and we have few lighting options that are especially unique so please consider SI lights as well if they fit with the interior. If you have any further suggestions, requests for models and so on then please consult this thread: Furnitures & Clutters or this one: http://www.silgrad.com/wbb2/thread.php?threadid=11447. Just ask if you have any special ideas for extra models.
Have fun! :goodjob:
Maybe I could take a claim and do it in CS? My input was erratic, least to say, I know. But I've done an interior here and there for the project. So maybe I can contribute? :eek: I think I have some time for a claim for BM project. What do you think?
