[RELz] Whistling Mine

A simple village expansion for Whistling Mine.

It always seemed odd to me that an established mine with an active smelter had no place for the people there to live. Whistling Mine is cold, and inhospitable. Nobody in their right mind would actually sleep there! This mod solves that oddity by providing a small village for the 4 NPCs to live in and spend some time in. Cause who wants to spend their lives living in the mine they work in!

It was also somewhat strange that Winterhold Hold had nothing but a single half ruined town in it.

AFK Mods

Installation Requirements

Official Skyrim patch 1.9.32.0.8 or greater.

Installation - Wrye Bash BAIN

Drop the archive into your Skyrim Mods\Bash Installers folder, then install as usual.
Make sure the mod is active in the Wrye Bash mods tab.

Installation - Manual

Drop the Whistling Mine.esp and Whistling Mine.bsa files into your Data folder.
Activate the mod using whatever management tool suits you.

Uninstalling

Due to the nature of Skyrim mods, especially those adding scripts, it is strongly discouraged to attempt uninstalling a mod from your active game. Any mod that is more than pure mesh or texture replacements has the possibility to leave behind permanent changes to your save that you may not want. This is not something modders can correct for. It is how the game was designed by Bethesda. No support will be provided for anyone who uninstalls this mod from an active game and continues on with that save.

To remove the mod: Delete the Whistling Mine.esp and Whistling Mine.bsa from your Data folder. Then reload your game as usual.

Load Order

LOOT should be used for optimal placement.

Compatibility

Fully compatible with Bring Out Your Dead.

Will not be compatible with other mods that change the Whistling Mine exteriors.

Mods altering Angvild, Badnir, Gunding, or Thorgar will not be compatible.

Disclaimer

This mod is not made, guaranteed, or supported by Microsoft, Zenimax, Bethesda Game Studios, or any of their affiliates.

Is it possible to do a village expansion for Soljund's Sinkhole too?  Currently, it (Soljund's Sinkhole) has 2 miners and guards.  Area wise it has just the mine itself and the miners' house.

 

 At least Whistling Mine NPCs could be given packages that sends them to The Frozen Hearth though it is more likely the Whistling Mine NPCs would get killed along the way to Winterhold.  Most likely a reason why they (Whistling Mine NPC) never leave their mine.

It seems Soljund's Sinkhole is on everyone's minds cause I was already looking at it. :P

Version 1.0.3

Ingots in front of Thorgar's house were clipped through the cart. The cart was also unrealistically upright.
