==================
Requirements:
==================
Skyrim 1.7.7.0.6 (for version 1.2a only)
(older versions do not require any patch)

==================
Change Log:
==================
V1.2a
Redone navmesh (I followed the tutorial from the Creation Kit Site. I'm hoping I've fixed the issue with followers teleporting to their destination within the interior). If it didn't make a difference, I don't know what else to do.
Rotated chest in kitchen area.
Fixed the issue with weapons not mounting correctly on racks.
Mannequins are still creepy.
Removed a few trees to improve FPS within the interior.
Fixed trouble areas; no more getting stuck... I hope.
Added a fire pit in front of the sitting area outside.

Version 1.2a will require the latest patch 1.7 and your Update .esm activated.

If you're updating:
Un-install the older version of Everspring and make a clean save (don't forget to take out any important loot you may have in the Grotto before you un-install).
Then install the latest version of Everspring Grotto.
I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

V1.2
Added light source between smelter and wood chopping block. Brighter light at sitting area, enchanting area, master bed and guest bed, dinning area, and smithy.
Removed curtains on master bed; an elegant idea but impractical for followers.
It will be dark in areas where light is not needed.
