Mostly Complete

I guess this post contains spoilers of sorts if you haven't done the quests yet.  If you don't want to know  anything at all about what happens in the Skyrim DLC then you should probably stop reading right now. 

Lord Harkon is dead and Skyrim is saved from eternal darkness.  So, aside from a couple of side quests, Dawnguard is over and done with. I've had the DLC disabled in my game ever since I started a new character that, on returning to Whiterun after killing the first dragon at the Western Watchtower, walked in on a vampire raid inside the gates that had already killed Adrianne Avenicci and the annoying Nazeem.  Then she went to Riverwood and arrived in the middle of another raid.  And then to Whiterun stables to use the cart to go elsewhere and there were more vampires.  She was only about Level 10 and not much use at all against them.  Thankfully, now I can head back to the towns without a rash of vampire attacks taking out my townsfolk. 

Also, it happened a while ago but Miraak is dead too and the Dovakiin learnt to fly dragons.  So, aside from a couple of side quests, Dragonborn is over and done with.  I will miss the bizarre world of Apocrypha, the endless library of forbidden knowledge.  Always made me feel like Alice in the original Wonderland (definitely not the Disney version).  Guess I can use this stack of Black Books to go back if I choose.

And I've built all three houses available through Hearthfire, and made Thane in the three holds, as well as adopted two children.  So, that's that all the Skyrim DLC mostly complete I guess.  Time to get back to the main quest.

(Will) Wright Reading Room

And so to Sims ... and back to Riverview to try out some of my new store content with some farming families.  I started a game there after Pets came out since Riverview seems to suit the animal theme so well (and Appaloosa Plains took so long to load that I gave up).  I made a start on revamping the town centre back then but ran out of steam with the library and art gallery as they needed a major rebuild.  Nothing from my lot library would fit so it was start from scratch when I went back.

Anyway, here's my update of the (Will) Wright Reading Room, that I've been working on the last couple of days.  It borrows heavily from the library I created in January for Moonlight Falls (but on a smaller scale).



Roof terrace with quiet spots for reading and writing.  


And on the inside, it's pretty much the typical library space.

100% Complete

Thanks Lara.  It was awesome ... but now it's over.  There's no more adventure to be had.  No more treasure to be found.  No more tombs to raid.
