Gooooooooood Morning Tamriel!
Ah'vrie wishes you well. It is loredas the 22nd of Midyear and wage slaves rejoice the weekend is nigh. It's another sultry dawn here on warm sands. The old cat's pet smoothskin was up late playing again, so apologies for being tardy again. It is past time for this one to tend the inn. Excuse please while the ash pits are emptied and the fires rebuilt. You'll want to cover your tankards for a bit, this gets a tad dusty... There, much better. Ah'vrie always likes to start the weekend off with happy fires. They warm more then the room as his mother liked to say. Now to compost the ash, check the gardens and scrub the kettles...
Our brew of the day is from South Africa, and the biscuits are Oatmeal raisin. Checking the hot sheets we have 46 new with all the usual jiggles, dangles, patches and pointy sticks. Lets see what catches the eye of an old cat over a fresh cuppa.
First a couple of quick shout outs
Shekhinaga for Very Important Cannibal Bug Fix
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/122411
Now the cannibals eat meat not bread at the banquet. Have a cookie for desert
PolskiPolak7734 released 'Not too Big Not too Small' preset (NSFW)
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/122398
Well proportioned female fantasy shield maiden preset. The title says it all. Endorsed
Roadhouse699 Locked the Mzark tower behind a gate to force you to clear the city before completing the dragon scroll quest..? Your game your way, but that's just annoying. Pass
Lets see... Dradaki released Lakeview Manor Planters
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/122423
"Replaces the ground plots in Lakeview Manor's garden with 5 large planters" An interesting alternative to the hearthfires default plots. Why not. We love choice
A peek under the hood...
Sthaagg released Skyrim Save System Overhaul 3
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/122343
"New version from scratch. Fully customizable backup manager, including: backup protection script, rotation system, interval backup, new automatic triggers, new immersive ways to save, presets, and more…" Lots of new features. You'll want to read the entire page. This covers autosave rotations right up to hard core mode. This gets a cookie
shazdeh2 released Follower Inventory Quick Access
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/122419
"While browsing your inventory or a container, you can push a key (customizable) to access your follower(s)'s inventory" This was tested with Auri, and Inigo and appears safe for custom followers as it does not touch the AI, only the inventory. This gets a cookie
FrankBlack released Real Water in Buckets
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/122422
"A small immersion mod that adds buckets with real water to the world of Skyrim."
Too bad they're statics. It would make putting a bucket over Belathor's head to rob the place using the vanilla exploit hysterical. Thanks.
Halffaces - small edit of Farmbench
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/122393
"meshes and textures replacers for Skyrim Farmbench (farmbench01.nif)" The old cat likes the version 2 (vanilla) shape, but not the wood grain. Worth a look.
And finally our mod of the day is yet another overhaul / difficulty rebalance for dragons
Dragon Enrichment Project by Aardvark1998
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/122396
"A vanilla-plus balance and diversity mod for Skyrim's beloved dragons. Dragon Enrichment Project makes dragons a bit tougher while maintaining a smooth difficulty curve fairly close to vanilla. It adds two new classes of dragon, using lightning or pure magic, and gives every dragon a unique look. Dragons may also summon atronachs, so watch out..." Lots of info on the mod page. Worth a read.

And that will do for today. The Ale is fresh and the new batch of mead is ready so i hope you're thirsty. The fires are stoked, the kettles scrubbed, and the floors are swept and mopped. Have a seat by the fires and warm your bones. We-B-Open!
