Clear River Cottage - Update Log: February 23, 2026

The mod has been updated to Version 2 as of the February 23, 2026 update.

Main updates

Extending the Landing Pool for the Water Slide

I have extended the landing pool for the garden water slide. It is now approximately three times longer than the initial version. Even if you gain more distance than expected, you should be able to land safely in the water. Please note that if you are using mods that enhance jump height, I cannot guarantee where you will land, so those cases are not officially supported.

Since the pool is now longer, I have added a boat-style door that allows you to quickly return to the starting point of the water slide.

Depending on your storage device, swimming back might actually be faster than waiting for a loading screen. Thank you for your understanding.

Why I Extended the Pool

This was due to a difference in flight distance between the PC and PS4 environments. The image above shows the first attempt at extending the pool, where I doubled its initial size. However, during testing on PS4, even with twice the depth, I was still landing right at the very edge. Therefore, I decided to increase the depth to three times the original size.

The image above shows a test jump on PS4 after improving the landing pool to three times its original size. The player's jump height remains at the vanilla setting. After repeated testing, I was able to land safely every single time, so you no longer need to worry about taking fall damage.

The image above shows a test jump on PC after expanding the landing pool to three times its size. The player's jump height is at the vanilla setting. The flight distance is shorter than the results on PS4, with the landing point being closer to the slide.

Player-exclusive Recall Spell for Clear River Cottage

I have added a teleportation spell that returns the player to Clear River Cottage.

This recall spell can be purchased for 500 gold from the Magicka Converter after you have acquired Clear River Cottage.

When you cast the recall spell, a basket will be summoned to transport you to the front entrance of Clear River Cottage. Please "talk" to the basket to start the journey.

This recall spell uses vanilla scripts, making it fully compatible with the PS4 environment. Although followers are included as teleportation targets in the script settings, my testing on the actual console confirmed that only the player is teleported to the front of Clear River Cottage. If you have followers with you, they will travel to the cottage on foot instead.

Experimental Feature: Summon Followers to Your Side (AE Only)

I have added an experimental spell to summon followers to the player's side. Since this spell utilizes vanilla scripts, it is also available for use in the PS4 environment.

The spell book can be purchased for 500 gold from the Magicka Converter after you have acquired Clear River Cottage.

This spell is effective for only one follower at a time. (Due to game engine limitations, it does not support certain unique followers like Serana or specific quest NPCs.)
