Gooooood Morning Tamriel!
Ah'vrie wishes you well. It is Morndas the 28th of Frostfall, and another beautiful predawn here on warm sands. Wage slaves lament, the weekend is over. Hide if you can, or work if you must, it's Morndas again. The blessed moons are waning through the final crescents and will be new this Fredas Which will mean a long weekend of celebrating for the hunters again. Anyway, it is time once again for this one to tend the inn for our most honored guests. Excuse please while the fires are stoked, and fresh water is put to the flame...
Our brew of the day is Kahawa ya Congo, and the biscuits are oatmeal cranberry. Checking the hot sheets we have 52 new mods with all the usual jiggles, dangles, patches and pointy sticks. Let's see what catches the eye of an old cat over a fresh cuppa... maybe two
FreakishFriday released a whitrun has walls/ JKs patch as a first mod. Welcome. Seeing as we already have a warning from the author, and a vote of no confidence from Iso, this one gets no link, and no cookie. But thanks. Next time publish after testing...
zjbrackin released New Game Start Sound Remover as a first mod. Welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/132484
"Removes the obnoxiously loud nordic shout upon starting a new game. Your ears will thank you later." LOL, I like this one's style. Thanks, have a cookie
eight92 released iFavor Set To Zero - No More Freebies
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/132463
"If you do something for an NPC, shop owner or a bartender for example, they like you SO MUCH, you're able to take half their stuff for free. Not anymore you ain't."
Well you can't fault the logic, but this is a bit draconian as all values are set to 0. Thanks, of course you could try role playing and not steal from your friends... Just saying.
PuneumaSigne released two today

Light a Campfire with Magic, and Always with a Dwemer Cooker
This one is still creating their own version of campfire piece by piece. To be honest, the old cat is not thrilled with the fire mechanic. Wood is not consumed and you can pack it up and reuse it. The cooking pot is Dwemer and requires the Dwemer smithing perk to make... What you're going to cook on until you take that perk? good question. Pass
The old cat is covering this mod, but with a warning... NOT RECOMMENDED!
Shizof released Time Multiplier Changer NG
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/132153
"Slow down or speed up time based on conditions. This is an skse plugin mod to change Global Time Multiplier on the fly based on conditions like mounted, sprinting, on carriage, dialogue, bow drawing etc. both in and out of combat separately. Includes optional perk requirements. Works on all game versions SE/AE/VR."
Shizof is an experienced author, and the mod hopefully works as intended. The warning is not about the mod, it's for the user. This has value in a large build with heavy script loads to correct issues with lip-sync, vendor timing... etc., but if you don't know exactly what it is you're correcting and why, this mod is not for you. Written for VR but works on all game versions. Thanks
sothasimp released On The Mend - A Healing Altar Replacer
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/132172
"A comfier version of the healing altars at the Temple of Kynareth in Whiterun, as requested. High poly with 2k textures, low poly optional" Not the first to put a pad on the altar. There are nicer versions of this already available, but the old cat sort of likes that these look less permanent, like you can remove them to have them washed... Thanks
GeraldMods released Icy Stalhrim Source - Base Object Swapper
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/132495
"This mod transforms the Stalhrim Source into Ice Ruins" The concept is reasonable, the implementation maybe bot so much. The affected walls are vertical, and the rocks above them are not ice covered, The railing supports are ice covered, but not the horizontal railing itself? Your game your way. Not for old cats but thanks
We'll finish up with Stupidly High Poly Namira Statue by HasphatAntobolis
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/132487
"I give you a ridiculously high poly shrine of Namira. The chain is now 3d, and the bumps and cracks are in the geometry now. It is not perfect yet, so I will probably have an update later to correct some things I wish were a little better. Comes with 4k textures."
I guess even evil daedric princes need a little love. Thanks?
And that will do for today. The fires are stoked, the kettles scrubbed, and the floors are swept. Have a seat by the fires and warn your bones. We-B-Open!
