End result: If I load the "catacombs" mod but not the "myhouse" mod, I can walk down the road by where my house should have been (but isn't,) and see a well sitting off to the side of the road. Approching the well I see it's a door and POOF!! down to the catacombs I go, meaning that the link to the catacombs is independent of the "myhome" mod and will work with or without it running. But since we intentionally placed the well door next to where the stable sits with the "myhome" mod running, the house tunnels mod now works nicely with the "myhome" mod running as well. So, if I reload the game with the "catcombs" mod and the "myhome" mods both running, I can walk out my door, go to the stables, go to the well on the rignt, and access the catacombs, and it looks like the well was originally part of the myhouse mod all along, even though it's not. WAY cool effect!!!! | End result: If I load the "catacombs" mod but not the "myhouse" mod, I can walk down the road by where my house should have been (but isn't,) and see a well sitting off to the side of the road.

The moral of this story: While there as many variations to the way you execute this plan as there are people, modifying .esp mod files to fit together like puzzle pieces so they appear to be joined while actually remaining independent is one of the simplest yet effective plans I can think of to solve the potential crosslinking issues that arise when trying to link structures created in different .esp mod plugin files. | I can now do the same thing with each one of the other house mods I have (and mabye my favorite shops in town while i'm at it) by adding more doors to the catacombs and placing wells, trapdoors, caves or whatever other portal object seems appropriate ousdide the homes, creating an interlinking set of tunnels to wherever i want to go. If winding tunnels do not suit your taste, you could create a room full of doors or Arcane Univiersity tower portals and use it as a sort of "Grand Central Station" to go anywhere in the oblivion world you wanted to go in liu of fast traveling everywhere. | ||
Another variation of this plan would be to skip the catacombs entirely and link a door fom one house mod directly to a well or other portal object outside the other house, saving the change, then loading the other house as the active file and linking a door from it to a portal object ouside the first house, to create two way transport. | |||
