Handy Hearthfire Sharpshooter

Crafted alchemy and enchantment stations next to the forges in the basements of the three Hearthhouses - Lakeview Manor, Heljarchen Hall and Windstad Manor. You can now smelt, forge, and enchant in the same location without loading screens.

Tired of forging perfect armor only to have to leave the basement, go through the loading screen, climb some stairs and walk to the enchantment? What if you could enchant a piece at a convenient location - enchanting it directly from a fake fire?

The handy "Hearthfire" extends the vanilla BYOH system to alchemy and enchantments directly in the main basement. This mod removes the useless sack back rack and replaces it with a functional alchemy and enchanting station, as well as a sturdy box for storing soul gems and a satchel for alchemical ingredients. Since this is vanilla BYOH style, you'll need to make a workstation and the containers to go with it.

The idea is to keep things as vanilla-scented as possible, so your basement will stay vanilla-scented. Minor modifications have been made to the shelves, your forge's fire now reflects light onto the shelves, making it possible to see the tools you are using. The coffee table is now a bedside table with drawers, and the tools have been wisely relocated to wooden crates beneath the weapons plaque.

This mod is for players who love vanilla houses and want to keep the vanilla feel, but are tired of climbing ladders and stairs while looking up and down at the loading screens between them. Note that this works best in new games, although I've seen it work if you're not near a Hearthfire home in an existing save area. See the article page about inserting your currently running game (at your own risk...).
