Like it's neighbour it is a spider den, infested with cave spiders. The cave system is not connected to Autumnwater Caverns though. This should be a fairly small interior made up of tunnels and rooms, spread across one or perhaps two interior cells.</p>
<p>Try to keep the facecount of each cell between 300,000 and 400,000. If you <u>really</u> need to you can go higher than 400k, but otherwise it's better to keep it low so players won't experience FPS problems. But at the same time you should strive for bringing an interior up to 300,000 faces if it's lower than that.</p>
<p>I've started the cell, added Hermit's Crooks to the entrance, added a Northmarker, dropped one of the Levelled Creature lists you should use in this interior, and set up the door teleportation. So to start working on the claim just load up the interior cell &quot;SoluthisLoc002lvl1&quot; in the Construction Set and off you go. The Levelled Creature list I dropped is just there for convenience, you can change it's position or delete it and re-add it later if you want, but please do use that kind of levelled creature in this cave.</p>
<p>Check out the Autumnwater Caverns (SoluthisLoc001lvl1 etc) for inspiration on what kind of stuff you can use.</p>
<p>To claim this location, post a reply saying so. If you run into problems or have questions, go right ahead and post them here. You don't have to create a quest for the location, but if you want to then that would be great! Just pick up a house claim in Soluthis for your questgiver to live and mod it according to the normal specs (pathgrid, AI schedule, etc).</p>
<p>If you can't find the moldave entries in the Construction Set, make sure you have the latest internal esm posted on The Source board. If you find the entries but get exclamation marks when dropping them into the world window, make sure you have the latest asset update posted either in <a href="http://www.silgrad.com/wbb2/thread.php?postid=118771#post118771">the release thread</a> on <a href="http://www.silgrad.com/wbb2/board.php?boardid=2">The Tavern board</a> (for public users) or on <a href="http://www.silgrad.com/wbb2/board.php?boardid=229">The Warehouse</a> (for ST Modders).</p>
<p>Have fun!</p>
