A mod that adds cabins in various locations for Ranger type characters to live in.
Its inspired by the Ranger's Apprentice series of books, which I think are brilliant. If you are looking for a more fitting attire I highly reccomend NoseGoblin's Assassins Rangers and Thieves armor mod over on the nexus http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=4632
If you don't want it to replace your DB armour standalone versions are available, just search
"Ranger" on the nexus.

This has been on the Steam Workshop since the day the Creation Kit was released, I've finally got around to "porting" it over.

Features:

A cabin in each Hold free for the taking, you just have to find it. Most have stables and all have an anvil, wood cutting block, workbench, grindstone, tanning rack and alchemy table.
Custom retextured arrows and some tweaked damage vanilla weapons in a secret location which can be discovered in the screenshots.

If the Navmesh bug is ever fixed (they mentioned that they might fix it in the Bethesda modding podcast) I will endeavour to sort out the navmeshes in each cabin so followers can go in and out properly.

All the containers should be safe to store items in.
The cabins are free, you just have to find them.

To do so look at the map screenshots.

Installation:

Extract the "Data" folder of the 7-Zip archive to your Skyrim folder so it merges with the Data folder. Err, that should do it!

Cabin Descriptions
====
Falkreath: The typical cabin in the woods. Has a stable, there is lots of wildlife nearby and it's
within easy reach of Falkreath and Riverwood.

Riften: Set in the autumnal forests of the Rift. Offers a small garden on top of the basic
services. An easy walk from Riften or Shor's Stone.

Eastmarch: Lying in the shadow of the falls on the White River. This cabin has a stable and is
set in an attractive bend in the river just sheltered from the road. Not too far from Windhelm or

Whiterun.
Winterhold: Right on the coast, fishing is the best source of food in this location. There isn't a
stable as the terrain is somewhat unsuitable for horses.

The Pale: High in the mountains of the Pale, this cabin receives cold weather and plenty of it.
Extra firewood is provided in the stable. Despite being in the next hold it's actually closest to
Whiterun.

Hjaalmarch: Just off the marches into the pine forests this cabin has a stable and all the basic
services. About equal distances to Morthal and Dawnstar.

Whiterun: At the base of a small-ish mountain it gets sheltered from behind. Good views of the
tundra and you may even see some mammoths if you are lucky. Has a stable and it is about equal distance from Whiterun and Rorikstead.

The Reach: High in the mountains of the Reach the screenshots look prettier than ever, although that might be my new ENB mod....
Has a stable and is closest to Markarth.

Haafingar: On the Northern coast of Haafingar this cabin has a stable and several archery targets at varying ranges. Mind the Horker neighbours. Closest city is Solitude.

Well thanks for all the support while I made this mod. It was one of the first on the Steam Workshop and to be honest I think some of its popularity can be attributed to that.
This was my first "proper" mod, released to the world and downloaded by more than just 5 people and the neighbours cat.
I intend to explore some new ideas when I have the time, there may be one final update to Ranger Cabins and if I have bugs to fix I will endeavour to do so but that aside its goodbye for now.

Thanks to Deandra from the UESP Forums for the splendid custom arrows.
Thanks to John Flanagan for the inspiration of all things Ranger.
And finally thanks to Bethesda for their (mostly working) Creation Kit and game.
