Modding on the Spectrum

Gooooooood Morning Tamriel!

Ah'vrie wishes you well. It is Turdas the 20th of Midyear and a sultry predawn here on warm sands. The official beginning of the tyranny of the sun is tomorrow. So remember to stay hydrated. Ah'vrie has plenty of fresh ale and mead on hand for weary travelers. As this one likes to say; "Those who do not respect the desert are buried in it" Anyway, it's once again time for Ah'vrie to tend the inn for our most honored guests. Excuse please while the fires are stoked, and fresh water put to the boil.

Our brew of the day is from South Africa, and the biscuits are Oatmeal sour cherry. Ah'vrie is quite happy that a shipment of shaman approved biscuits is on the way... Checking the hot sheets we have 42 new mods, mostly jiggles, patches and pointy sticks. Let's see what catches an old cat's eye over a fresh cuppa.

navalcad released Better Mead as a first mod. Welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/122247
A little vague, looks like a minor upscale of only Nord Mead. Thanks

You Reek by neinbach
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/122289
neinbach has been pushing Solitude bath house tweaks the last two weeks. They have now released a reason to visit. Whatever floats your boat. Just stand down wind

wbell03 released Simply Better Wolves
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/122291
Not better, just vanilla with that blurry fusa fusa crap added. PASS

AmbroseTheRed released Eliminate Fortify Alchemy and Enchanting Buffs
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/122301
Thanks my googly challenged friend. We'll add it to the pile

Sthaagg released Configurable Auto lockpicking
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/122263
"Is lock-picking too difficult? Make it as easy as you like! Is the mini-game boring? Let the mod do it for you." Requires NL_MCM - A Modular MCM Framework. Worth a look if you don't like the mini game or broken picks. Thanks

TheOneTrueFuzzBeed released Green Thumb Whiterun
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/122302
Ivy everywhere... Your game your way. Not for old cats

Scholar's Retreat No Load Door Home With Library - No General Stores required
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/122253
By request. Elfiemyrtle3 released a new version without General stores. It is a beautiful no load door home, and worth a look.

"All these containers are simple no-respawn chests. You can either sort your stuff into them manually or use any of the sorting mods you can find or may already have installed. I've heard there are quite a few." Thanks, we love choice. Have a cookie

And we'll finish up today with a new take on vanilla weather

dBottle released Northern Weathers
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/122288
"My own revision of Classic vanilla Weathers" Blended Horizons, more cinematic sunrises and sunsets, better rain textures, and stays true to the vanilla pallet. Thanks we do love choice. We'll call this vanilla plus.

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 warm your bones. We-B-Open!

Goooooood Morning Tamriel!

Ah'vrie wishes you well. It is Tirdas the 18th of Midyear and another sultry predawn here on warm sands. The blessed moons have set and it is once again time for Ah'vrie to tend the inn for our most honored guests. Excuse please while the fires are stoked, and fresh water is put to the boil.

Our brew of the day is Inspirazione a Venezia, and the biscuits are still a work in progress. Checking the hot sheets we have 42 new with plenty of jiggles, dangles, patches and pointy sticks as always. Let's see what catches the eye over a fresh cuppa...

Ghostrider231 released Creature Cowardly AI Fix as a first mod. Welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/122146
"This mod is more of a answer to modders who like to use werewolves as a base for creature companion mods" See a need, fill a need. Thanks

Deman445 released The Cursed Mercenaries as a first mod. Welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/122142
"a small quest which takes players through the Blackmire dungeon to uncover what happened to the former inhabitants." Of course it's directly across from Riverwood Not sayin a word... nope

Tomato's Whiterun - Parallax - 2K 4K
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/122064
"A comprehensive Whiterun retexture including ALL city, interior, door and window textures. Over 200 textures." Worth a look. The old cat is not in love with all of the textures, mostly due to inconsistencies in the color pallets, but the look is consistent and it is parallax enabled. Thanks

Lets see... LordMithro released Skyrim Sewers - Invisible Door Fix
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/122085
"This mod adjusts how the "invisible" doors are implemented by Skyrim Sewers. Rather than using a texture to create an invisible door, this mod uses a null texture set. Therefore removing a visual issue which is more pronounced when using ENB." Thanks

DameEveKnight released Disable Dialogue Timeout
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/122108
"Take your time selecting responses; never get kicked out of dialogue again!"

Or take a speed reading course LOL, thanks

And finally our mod of the day. Sound the trumpets and summon the dancers

SIMP - Supreme Interior Mist Particles by LeoMaximus
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/122101
"Reduces the intensity of interior mist, smoke, and fog"

"These effects were too intense for my liking and the only options I could find outright removed them which I felt lessened the ambiance. So I've made some edits to retain these effects without them hindering your vision. This was made with an edited version of Cabbage ENB so if you use a different ENB your mileage may vary."

The author recommends using this along with Skeever's No More Blinding Fog - SSE Port.
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/87342

This is a no plugin mod with loose files, so make sure it loads low. After looking at the pics, the old cat flagged this for his next build. Downloaded to endorse. Thanks

And that will do for today. The fires are stoked,m the kettles scrubbed, and the floors are swept. Have a seat by the fires and warm your bones. We-B-Open!

Goooooood Morning Tamriel!

Ah'vrie wishes you well. it is Morndas the 17th of Midyear and wage slaves lament, the weekend is over. Hide if you can or work if you must it's Morndas again. Anyway, the blessed moons have set and it is once again time for this old cat to tend the inn for our most honored guests. Excuse please while the fires are stoked and fresh water is put to the boil.

Our brew of the day is Inspirazione a Napoli, and the old cat is still working on the biscuits. Checking the hot sheets we have 39 new with all the usual suspects. Let's see what catches the eye over a fresh cuppa or two...

krzp1 released Simply Knock Animated
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/121994
"Been using Simply Knock for a long time and it sort of irked me that it didn't have an animation for the knocking. So I've made one." See a need fill a need. it's all about the immersion. (I'm starting to like this one... tracking author) Downloaded

ImperialAgent1992 released Prey Animals Overhaul
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/122053
This is a misleading title. No animals were overhauled. It just increases the spawns.
"Increase the number of harmless animals by 5x"

Halffaces - Necromantic Altar
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/122078
"New mesh and texture for Necromancer Altar" For once the old cat doesn't mind the memory cost, as this is a one off, and only 64 meg. Adds a stylized wolf head painted in blood on Potema's altar, and the upscaling look pretty darn good. This one gets a cookie.

Finally Clemus33 released Vanaheimr - Snow
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/122027
"Overhaul of Snow textures" In 2 and 4K, Parallax and Complex materials, and includes patches for Majestic landscapes. Definitely worth a look. The series is filling in.

And that will do for today. The fires are stoked, the kettles scrubbed, and the floors are swept. Have a seat and the wenches will serve you. We-B-Open!

Goooooood Morning Tamriel!

Ah'vrie wishes you well. It is Sundas the 16th of Midyear and a quiet predawn here on warm sands. The blessed moons have saet and it is once again time 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 boil.

Our brew of the day is Stockholm Lungo, and the biscuits are Oatmeal raisin. Checking the hot sheets we have 59 new 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...

MeBob6565 released Riverwood Blacksmith Redesigned
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/121981
Continuing the theme of useless additions to vanilla buildings. This adds an empty second floor to the Riverwood blacksmith. Optional window bars and clutter... thanks?

AlimAge released Solstheim map FWMF
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/121964
"I don’t really know how to draw, and I’m too lazy to do it, so almost nothing of the main locations is drawn on the map." Actually it's quite well drawn. Worth a look if you use the FWMF

Purplejelly16 released two today. Hanging moss and fantasy mushrooms
https://next.nexusmods.com/profile/Purplejelly16/mods?gameId=1704
Yeah... not for old cats but thanks

moizoos released Cathedral - 3D Pine Shrubs - Color Edit
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/121903
"Basically, the needle leaves are now greener, and the bark is brown." The old cat will admit that this was a lot better than their attempt at fixing icebergs. The color choices blend well and fit in nicely. This one gets a cookie.

SuperPowerGreat released two today, and updated their first
https://next.nexusmods.com/profile/SuperPowerGreat/mods?gameId=1704
Added baths to the drunken huntsman, and updated the Jarl's baths, but it's Skyrim Relationship that caught the eye.

"This is a mod where you can interact with NPCs based on your Speechcraft skill, raising RelationshipRank and potentially engaging in romance. When engaging in conversation, the player gains Speechcraft experience regardless of success or failure. As the Speechcraft level increases, the probability of successful conversations also increases. Separate from the game's own RelationshipRank"

You'll want to read the entire mod page, and understand that the author is not a native English speaker so some of the dialogs come into question. It's ambitious.

Finally ElectricSparx released Sensible Dawnguard Prerequisite
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/121948
"Adds a sensible quest prerequisite to starting Dawnguard as opposed to determining it entirely by your character level"

Makes the Morthal 'Laid to rest' quest the Prerequisite to being greeted by the Orc. The author does make a good point. After BGS turned off vampire attacks on the towns there really is no "vampire menace" so the dialog with the Orc makes no sense. Okay, we'll give this to the author. Have a cookie.

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 warm your bones. We-B-Open!

Gooooooood Morning Tamriel!

Ah'vrie wishes you well. It is Loredas the 15 the of Midyear and another sultry predawn here on warm sands. The blessed moons continue to wax through the final crescents and will be full a week from today so it's time to hone those silver weapons once again and keep them close. The goddess' crazy puppies don't always follow the calendar. Anyway, it's time once again for this on to tend the inn. Excuse please while the ash pits are emptied and the fires are rebuilt. This gets a tad dusty so you may wish to cover your tankards for a bit... There, much better no? Ah'vrie likes to greet the weekend with happy fires. As his mother liked to say when he was but a cub, "A happy fire warms more than the room". Now to compost the ash, see what's ready to harvest in the garden, scrub the kettles, and put fresh water to the boil... The glamorous life of an inn keeper.

Our brew of the day is Istanbul espresso, and the biscuits are the old cat's version of a snickerdoodle made with oat flour. Fingers crossed on this new recipe. Baking is going to become more interesting for certain. Checking the hot sheets we have 40 new mods with the plenty of jiggles, dangles and pointy sticks. Let's see what catches the eye of an old cat today over a fresh cuppa...

RoykvikEinaste released Atmoran Elegance - 3BA Body Preset as a first mod. (NSFW) welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/121898
A pleasant surprise. A very natural looking preset. It looks to have a full C cup without the overly exaggerated hips and apple bottom of most presets. This one gets a cookie

krzp1 released Little idle animations
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/121595
"A random assortment of idle animations I've made for the female characters" Using their Cascadeur system released a few days ago. worth taking a look at the samples. These are small and smooth. Checking finger nails, swatting the odd fly... etc. Worth a look. Thanks

d4em released Dark Brotherhood Robes
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/121890
"Meshes and textures to replace the pyjama-thing worn by Dark Brotherhood mages"

The old cat has to admit, these look good. Very basic 'dark leather' mage robes for Festus and Gabriella. This one gets a cookie as well.

wSkeever released 3D Dwemer Sun - Subterranean Object SMIMed - Blackreach
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/121858
"This overused object is now 3D" This was a request by PO3 and Skeever delivered. Thanks

And finally Riton Mossy Bridge
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/121878
An interesting choice. The standard vanilla field stone bridge, but desaturated and mossy. One or two of the seams are noticeable, but the overall look is rather nice. The mesh is parallax enables and works well with SMIM and blended roads. Nicely done, and cookie worthy. The old cat would use this as a BOS variant, but maybe not as a replacer.

And that will do for today. The ale casks were delivered on time, and the new batch of mead is ready. We're serving medallions of marinated venison on a bed of roast diced potatoes and onions served with an egg on top for the early meal, and ale braised sabercat with twice baked garlic potatoes for the late meal. As always we'll have a hearty stew simmering for those that need something that wards the chill a bit more.

The fires are stoked, the kettles scrubbed, and the floors are swept and mopped. Have a seat and the wenches will serve you. We-B-Open!

Goooooooood Morning Tamriel

Ah'vrie wishes you well. It is Fredas the 14th of Midyear and thank the divines the weekend is nigh. It's a quiet predawn here on warm sands. The blessed moons have set and it is once again time for Ah'vrie to tend the inn for our most honored guests. Excuse please while the fires are stoked, and fresh water is put to the boil...

Our brew of the day is Stockholm Lungo, and we'll be baking fresh biscuits today, hopefully when Ah'vrie returns from the markets later. Checking the hot sheets we have 45 new with all the usual suspects. Let's see what catches the eye of an old cat over a fresh cuppa.

ciberzombie released 100 percent pickpocket cap as a first mod. Welcome.
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/121740
Not the first, google is your friend ... just saying ;-)

abbysky released Abby's Grass Mashup as a first mod welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/121739
"A performance-friendly grass patch combining three of my favourite grass mods: Northern Grass, Veydosebrom Regions and Skoglendi."

An interesting blending. Not thrilled with the green tundra option, but worth a look. Thanks

moizoos released Northern Ice - IMR edition - Complex Material Edit as a second mod.
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/121777
"Unofficial edit of the unofficial branch on the popular ice retexture by T4GTR34UM3R." Well unofficially the old cat is not impressed at all. Keep working at your craft and someday...

ICFur released Enhanced Vanilla Complex Parallax Glaciers
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/121826
"Modified vanilla glacier, ice floe, and icicle textures with complex parallax enabled meshes." And that's how it's done. This one gets a cookie

ImABotBeepBoop released Actual Fluffier Cathedral Tundra Cotton
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/121814
"Makes the cotton balls 10% larger and 100% denser. It's also green now -- but not too green." Ah'vrie likes the look but not the color. The leaves are too yellow, looks a bit like a sickly house plant. Thanks

Halffaces - small edit of torch sconce
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/121837
"Torche sconce replacer" Overly ornate, and only 130 meg Your game your way.

And finally Diverse Windmill Sails - Base Object Swapper by FrankBlack
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/121759
"I wasn't able to find a texture replacer that I liked for Skyrim's Windmill Sails, so I made this one. It replaces the textures and adds varied meshes using Base Object Swapper."

Three versions, a replacer, A full BOS variant version, and a variant version without damaged sails. This is an immediate download for the old cat. The last variant replacer duplicated sails with vanilla and looked awful. This looks good enough for an other try, though the old cat might just go with the replacer version.

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 warm your bones. We-B-Open!

Goooooood Morning Tamriel!

Ah'vrie wishes you well. it is Turdas the 13th of Midyear and a sultry predawn here on warm sands. The blessed moons are waxing through the first quarter tonight, but they've set for now. Anyway, it's time once again for Ah'vrie to tend the inn for our most honored guests. Excuse please while the fires are stoked and fresh water is put to the boil...

Our brew of the day is a second tasting of Cadiz espresso, and ... Yum!, and the biscuits are Oatmeal sour cherry. Checking the hot sheets we have 42 new mostly jiggles, patches, and ESO imports. Let's see what catches the eye over a fresh cuppa.

megaman913 released NARRATIVE LOOT - Vendor Keywords Patch as a first mod. Welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/121768
"This mod makes it so you can sell your loot to vendors. It's kind of a crazy oversight this loot mod never made it possible to sell the loot it added, huh?" See a need, fill a need. Thanks

adamekrt released Grass Precache For Lush Vanilla Grass
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/121727
"This is a grass precache for Lush Vanilla Grass" Always nice to see. Have a cookie

dBottle released two today
https://next.nexusmods.com/profile/dBottle/mods?gameId=1704
Faithful Skies - 16k Tweaked Galaxy and custom 8k stars for the night sky
Simple Trees - Simple cleaned up and polished vanilla trees.

Both are worth a look. The sky looks really good, lucky it also comes in half res. The tree textures are a nice match for EVT, and simpley bigger trees (Used in the pics)

jepster released Texture Patch for Atlantean Landscapes and Vanaheimr Mountains
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/121778
"Blends textures from Atlantean Landscapes and Vanaheimr Mountains so that the transition between rock and ground looks more seamless"

We don't usually cover patches, but this was really well done. The old cat will have to look at Vanaheimr Mountains again. He still hasn't found a mountain mod to compete with majestic no he hasn't, but hope springs eternal ;-)

miliyx released Nightgate Inn Revived
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/121244
"A full interior and exterior overhaul of the Nightgate Inn. Flagged ESL."

Not fond of the roof beams, or the fact that the damaged slat roof over the ? 'game dressing hut' by the pond. At the very least the roof textures should have been consistent. The interior sports a central fireplace like Candlehearth hall, but no chimney. The devils always in the details. Still worth a look. Thanks, we love choice.

That's basically it for today, but we'll finish up with two different female presets. (NSFW)

ntz1n released NTZ's CUPCAKE - 3BA Bodyslide Preset
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/121732
Slim, and well proportioned, with very little variation between 0 and 100 weight.

Groanth released Tinraa - Coffee with MILF - a CBBE 3BA BodySlide preset
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/121754
Quite a bit curvier, but not sick. Also much more of a variation between 0 and 100 weight. This one does lean more towards fantasy at the higher weights. We'll call this a "you wish" milf body.

And that will do for today. The fires are stoked, the kettles scrubbed, and the floors are swept. Have a seat and the wenches will serve you. We-B-Open!

Goooooood Morning Tamriel!

Ah'vrie wishes you well. it is Middas the 12th of Midyear and another quiet predawn at the inn. The blessed moons have set the paths are closed and it's once again time 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 boil...

Our brew of the day is Miami espresso, and the biscuits are still oatmeal... I'm working on it. Checking the hot sheets we have 44 new with lots of jiggle and patches of course. Let's see what catches the eye over a fresh cuppa or two.

SonOfVader released Spells Require Books as a first mod. Welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/121589
"Makes player have the spell tome to use the spell." Not the first to consider eating spell books immersion breaking. This feels overly simplistic, and not completely tested. Thanks

PixelsSquared released Vanilla Short Grass
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/121618
"A high-performance vanilla+ short grass mod for Chad vanilla enjoyers." Not very pretty, but if it makes you happy... Thanks

ghdOne released three burning banners mods today. a virtual pyro for certain ;-)
https://next.nexusmods.com/profile/ghdOne/mods?gameId=1704
The fire marshal need to keep an eye on this one

Clofas released Solstheim Exterior Soundscapes
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/121361
"Utilizes Sound Record Distributor and Base Object Swapper to overhaul the exterior soundscapes of Solstheim." worth listening to the samples. A bit too much bottom for the old cat. I keep hearing the volcano, but I guess that's the point LOL.

Speaking of Solsteim Jenasto released Apocryphal Library
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/121654
"Browse the library of Apocrypha! Unearth ancient knowledge! This mod uses the power of Base Object Swapper to allow you to actually search some of the book stacks and paper piles in Apocrypha, discovering new books and leaflets from Imperial Library, older TES games, and me!" This one had fun... Now you can get lost in the library for real... Thanks?

And finally Halffaces - Real 3D wings of Solitude Windmill
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/121658
"Real 3D wings/fan for Solitude Windmill" Only 11 meg at least. The old cat misses the red cloth sails already. It needs it's skin.

And that will do for today. The fires are stoked, yada yada We-B-Open!

Gooooooood Morning Tamriel!

Ah'vrie wishes you well. It is Tirdas the 11th of Midyear and praise the divines we survived another Morndas. The blessed moons have set and it is once again time for Ah'vrie to tend the inn for our most honored guests. Excuse please while the fires are stoked, and fresh water put to the boil.

Our brew of the day is Cadiz espresso, a new offering from the south of Spain. Smooth and mild with a full body. The aroma hints at boxwood, but the flavor has hints of chocolate, and a nice lasting finish... Okay this gets added to the re-order list, although this is a seasonal roast.

Checking the hot sheets we have 42 new with all the usual suspects. Today seems to favor outfit swaps using SPID, but let's see what catches the eye over a fresh cuppa...

First a solid shout out to JaySerpa for Falmer Servant Lines Expansion
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/120995
This was mentioned yesterday by our lovely Gnewna, but it's still our mod of the day.

Eizonn released Whiterun Stone Pavers as their second mod.
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/121593
"Stone floor texture of Whiterun" These look quite nice actually. Fairly strong tessellation, but there's very little noticeable stretching of the 'side' textures do to the shape and nature of the pavers. This one gets a cookie.

Enodoc released Miscellaneous Quests are Favors
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/121610
"Adds Disposition increases to all the Freeform and Favor Miscellaneous Quests which didn't have them" Read the mod page for specifics. This is a fix for missing flags, but also corrects some dialogs accordingly.

Let's see... ClefJ's Moonstone Holdfast
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/121616
"A free small 3-story player home, a tower serving for a minor lord or knight"

An interesting location overlooking the Nightgate inn and the pass. Honestly the old cat's biggest issue is the square walls. They stick out like a sore thumb considering every other fort / tower in the game is round. Worth a look.

Riton Landscape
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/121614
"Texture replacer for landscape with complex parallax. Compatible with Atlanteen v1.7.7"

The old cat is not thrilled with the 'cracked lake bed dried mud' textures for some of the paths. But definitely worth a look. Thanks. The old cat will stick with Atlantean ;-)

And finally Clemus33 released two new textures for the Vanaheimr series
https://next.nexusmods.com/profile/Clemus33/mods?gameId=1704

Todays offerings Marsh, and Tundra. Both are worth a look. The tundra textures are a bit too rocky for an old cat's taste, but it's not the old cat's game.

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 warm your bones. We-B-Open!

Goooooood morning Tamriel!

Ah'vrie wishes you well. it is Morndas the 10th of Midyear and wage slaves lament, the weekend is over. hide if you can or work if you must, it's Morndas again. Excuse please while this one tends the inn for our most honored guests...

Our brew of the day is the last of the India roast. The new coffee shipment will arrive today baring any bandit or dragon attacks. The old cat is still sorting out the biscuit dilemma. For now it's still oatmeal raisin. Checking the hot sheets we have 54 new with lots of jiggles and patches. Let's see what catches the eye of an old cat over a fresh cuppa.

zsynh released Remove All Cut Stumps as a first mod. Welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/121526
"A very simple mod to remove all cut stumps from all areas" If it makes you happy. Could make for a chuckle when Ralof goes to sit behind the sawmill after you leave the cave at Helgen, but your game your way.

SkjoldBjorn released Torchlight as a first mod. Welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/121469
"I did not like the blue light and wanted something more akin to the light emitted from a torch, so here it is..a flying torchlight." It's certainly yellow ;-) Thanks

Butterman325 released Helgen End Gate Bug Fix as a first mod. Welcome.
No link needed, they just shared a fix for some Skyrim Voodoo in their own game.

coolterror released two more dead branch removal mods
https://next.nexusmods.com/profile/coolterror/mods?gameId=1704
There won't be any good tinder left in the game when this one is done.

jebacdisa69 released Quieter Daedric Prince Dialogue
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/121511
"This mod makes dialogues from Daedric Princes to be 1/4th of its normal volume." The old cat would have preferred more than one volume option. 1/4 would be too low in his game, but half might be perfect. Thanks

Likenstien released Old Holds - Priests and Shrines of the Nordic Gods
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/121525
"My attempt at a restoration of the Old Nordic Religion." Worth a read. An interesting concept, Revolves mostly around renaming existing shrines using the 'old' names. Kyne instead of Kynareth... etc. Thanks.

Suinier released Touch of Detail - Chicken Coops
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/121554
"New models for Chicken Coops which actually provide your feathered friends with some protection from the elements" All hail the chicken overlords! The old cat is not particularly impressed with the model, but it's kind of inventive. Thanks

And finally Jaipebbles released Frostmoth Reborn
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/121542
"Complete interior, exterior, and enemy overhaul of Fort Frostmoth" Not many pics to go off, seems more like an excuse to showcase the Morrowind imperial armor they made 2 years ago. Hopefully there's more to it.

And that will do for today. The fires are stoked, the kettles scrubbed, and the floors are swept. have a seat and the wenches will serve you. We-B-Open!
