Modding on the Spectrum

Goooooooood Morning Tamriel!

Ah'vrie wishes you well. It is Turdas the 27th of Sun's Dusk and a chilly predawn here on warm sands. The blessed moons have set 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 flame...

Our brew of the day is Maluka mu Zimbabwe. and the biscuits are fudge brownie cookies. Checking the hot sheets we have 42 new mods from the usual eclectic sources. Let's see what catches an old cat's eye over a fresh cuppa or two.

iDeadSea released Skoglendi - Only Tundra Grass
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/165567
"Just the tundra grass from the Skoglendi." This is their first 'non-translation' mod so welcome. It looks more like an invasive alien species than grass, but thanks

Mharlek1 released Goat Path from Riverwood to High Hrothgar
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/165495
"This mod adds a pseudo obstacle course for you to reach High Hrothgar via Riverwood. Its not perfection"

Ah'vrie loves the absurdity of this, and the effort it must have taken. Thanks

Speaking of absurdity...
There is now a contender for the most absurd perk tree overhaul since Ordinator.

CHIM - Perk Tree Overhaul
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/121291
"CHIM is a Vanilla Plus complete overhaul of the game's 18 perk trees with over 350 different perks"

Adds mutually exclusive 'branches' nerfs whole trees, makes others totally OP... Typical. You definitely need to read this before testing it, requires a new game, though the author is afraid to state that directly. There is also no way for this to be used effectively with out additional mods to add per points. Your game your way. Not for old cats, but thanks

carstenseng1 released three today
https://next.nexusmods.com/profile/carstenseng1/mods?gameId=1704
More spawns, and equipment degradation. Have fun

karurawasabi released High Poly CotR - Refined Facial Animations
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/165518
"Adjusted facial animations (tri files) for High Poly CotR. Less stiff, more expressive."

So why does everyone in the pics look like they need a laxative? On second thought, don't answer that

naChooey forked Yvonne Eyes - Enhanced
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/165522
"Eyes from namida1126's Yvonne assets, enhanced and made standalone."
23 upscaled and fixed eye textures, and a patch for Complete Vanilla Eye Overhaul. Thanks

SHWB's - Thieves Guild Overhauls by WeelBones - SerketHetyt
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/165223
"Lore-Friendly Visual Overhauls for Tonilia, Vex & Sapphire with FOMOD & Separate versions, adding custom details, textures & body for each one of them, keeping each one different yet making justice to the characters."

Classic SerketHetyt, long faces and thick noses. Nicely done, and definitely worth a look. Even if Vex and Sapphire look like sisters. Maybe Devon's brother was more... active, than he let on ;-)

We're going to finish up with what can only be described as a labor of love... Pun intended

Fertility Mode Reloaded by Wondernutts
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/165569
"Fertility Mode Reloaded completely overhauls the original Fertility Mode mod, modernizes it with features from Power of Three, and Jcontainers to allow for VR support. There are so many changes I cannot possibly list them all here. This is not my mod, This masterpiece of a mod was created by far more talented people than myself."

This is absolutely not compatible with the original mod. Assembly required. There is a lot of information on the mod page and you'll need to read it. This was intended to allow the original mod to work in VR, but it fixed a lot more than that, and if you specify KB/Mouse in the fomod, it "should" work correctly on a PC.

Still a WIP, but if you use the original mod, you're going to want to sit down with a fresh cuppa and read the page. A lot was changed, but a lot was intentionally kept.

And that will do for today. The fires are stoked, the kettles scrubbed, and the floors are swept. Have a sea... Is that a turkey hiding behind the ale casks? Ah'vrie needs to cut back on the moon sugar. We-B-Open!

Goooooood Morning Tamriel!

Ah'vrie wishes you well. It is Middas ther 26th of Sun's Dusk, and another quiet predawn here on warm sands. The blessed moons have set, and it is time once again for this one to tend the inn. Excuse please while the fires are stoked, and fresh water is put to the flame...

Our brew of the day is Inspirazione a Venezia, and the biscuits are ginger. Checking the hot sheets we have 55 new mods, and believe it or not some don't have a cup size. Let's see what catches the old cat's eye over a fresh cuppa or two.

A peek under the hood first...

Autoscroller Plugin Mo2(For Skyrim) by AlhimikPh
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/165507
"If you select a plugin in the right pane (Plugins List), the plugin will automatically scroll the left pane (Mod List) to its parent module. Conversely, when a mod is highlighted in the left pane (Mod List), the Plugins List will scroll to the corresponding plugin."

This will be very useful, only saying it's for skyrim is sort of a red flag. It should work with any BGS game. Grain of salt, needs testing, but thanks. Tracking for now. I want to ask the team first before I add the plugin.

N9NESTUDIOS released Bleed as their first mod. Welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/165349
"Adds bleeding damage to weapons." a little anyway. Very reasonable stats. Thanks.

Wouter445 released The Pure Body Slide (NSFW) as their first mod. Welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/165472
"Made a body Slide based on very realistic human aspects" A little shapelier than vanilla, a little... Thanks for sharing.

durotriges released two first mods today
https://next.nexusmods.com/profile/durotriges/mods?gameId=1704
A WIP voiced Altmer follower (Based on the Joseph Russell tutorial/framework) and a
Snow elf themed campsite. Calling it an immersive player home... Moving right along.

Rokize released No ... enemies ... in abandoned prison
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/165470
"removes ALL ghosts from abandoned prison"

Added too many high level enemy spawns did you? LOL.

ArcWarden202020 spammed us with 8 light plugin patches.
https://next.nexusmods.com/profile/ArcWarden202020/mods?gameId=1704
Outfits, tan lines, and pubes... interesting combination. Thanks

Lets see... burjak released Marked Useless Perks
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/165407
basically unlocks all vanilla perks, and flags "their choices" of useless, in a heavily modded combat based game. The unlocked feature could be helpful, but this one will choose which perks to take thank you. My game is not your way. We like choice. PASS

lSmoothl released Horse Jump Fix
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/165468
"Mounted jump distance fix" It does look more reasonable, and smoother, they could have added just a little height as well. This one is worth a look. Thanks.

fadingsignal released The Green Den - A Lush Drunken Huntsman Overhaul
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/165520
"bringing a bit of Valenwood to Whiterun, featuring custom high-quality assets"

Embrace the ivy, Be the Ivy... A bit over the top, but we do love choice. Thanks

And finally AW Male Replacers All in One Skypatched by AllieWadeMods
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/165478
"Skypatched version of my male replacers - 80 NPCs covered."

Worth a look, A bit young and smooth, would work well with one of the 20 something eye candy female replacers. We do love choice. Thanks

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 Tirdas the 25th of Sun's Dusk and a quiet predawn here on warm sands. The much needed rains have moved on, and the desert flowers are already in full bloom. For now though, the blessed moons have set and it is once again time for this one to tend the inn. 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 fudge brownie cookies. Checking the hot sheets we have 53 new mods, and the few caught the eye. Let dive in over a fresh cuppa.

BrOverShield is still removing everything creative from the game. Weapons are next

carstenseng1 released Last Stand as a first mod. Welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/165424
"When health becomes low, time slows and damage to the player is reduced in order to enable a Last Stand, extending the most intense action-packed moments of gameplay."

The old at likes this one's thinking... That last moment 'survival' adrenalin rush... Needs testing in game, but the concept is two cookie. Thanks. Tracking

koekkoe released Fast dragonbone weapons as a first SSE mod. Welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/165381
"Increases the speed of all dragonbone weapons by 0.1, while reduces the base damage by two points to balance it out" Oh, sorry, moving right along

ChewNTobacca returns with Lighter Items after another two year vaca. Welcome back
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/165386
"Reduces the weight of many items that often weigh down the player."

Does 9 items count as many? Thanks, there's still room on the pile. Ever heard of Google?

Hydraaawr released Harvesting Gives Alchemy Experience
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/165370
"Harvesting plants or mushrooms and catching critters now grants a customizable amount of Alchemy experience."

Ah'vrie debated posting a link... "I are a Alchemist, I pick flowers, and day is purdy" LOL Your game your way. Thanks

lets see... kaolinite77 ported three more player homes
https://next.nexusmods.com/profile/kaolinite77/mods?gameId=1704

The old cat must admit, he likes the huntsman's hut. Nice location, this one could see a backstory supporting it for the correct character. kaolinite is porting some nice small houses.
(With the thousands available in oldrim, this might go on for quite some time LOL)

We'll finish up today with something interesting by NormalHuman2

Potion Dilution
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/165347
"Have you ever fortified restoration looped a bit too hard do your potions taste too bitter spread that out across multiple potions with your mixerBarrel summon spell summon your mixing barrel an start mixing"

Oookay... The old cat totally gets the mechanic, but not the use case. Ah'vrie was thinking that toning down the potency of some of his later potions would reduce the price and make them easier to sell, but the averaged potions seem to completely lose their value. That means the only purpose of this mod is to make potions weaker.

Scratches head... Your game your way. Thanks

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 Morndas the 24th of Sun's Dusk and wage slaves lament the weekend is over. Hide if you can, or work if you must, it's Monrdas again. Excuse please while the fires are stoked, and fresh water is put to the flame...

Our brew of the day is Stockholm Lungo, and the biscuits will have to wait on the markets. Ah'vrie had a few too many over the weekend. Checking the hot sheets we have 50 new mods. Let's dive in over a fresh cuppa or three...

Tommygunner321 released Mistcreek Cottage - Player Home
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/165302
A quaint cottage with garden, located in southern Whiterun Hold. Ideal for players looking for a smaller, immersive, Vanilla+ Home

Lightly cluttered and very lore friendly (In other words boring) but very nicely done. If you want a humble beginning, this works well. Have a cookie

gera1264 released Better Vanilla Food and Drinks
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/165259
"Complete food, alcohol and skooma overhaul with useful diverse long effects. Compatible with Survival Mode." You'll need to read the mod page for the effect changes. Basically raw- simplified, cooked better, alcohol longer, skooma stronger. That's about it. Thanks

Fernvud released Last Seed - Reskin Skill Tree
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/165269
"sketched" skill trees. Interesting look. Thanks

Incarnate95 released Twilight Whisper - Unique Ring
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/165338
"One of Nocturnal's forgotten artifacts can now be found somewhere in Skyrim" The name is the hint. It's in the Twilight Sepulcher, so you must complete the TG quests to claim it.

Very OP, but it is a late game ring. Your game your way. Thanks

And finally Riton's Medieval Solitude
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/165212
This is definitely unique... The old cat's only poke is the towers floating above the arch rocks, but you would never see that in game. Definitely worth a look. A lot went into this.

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 Sundas the 23rd of Sun's Dusk and it's still raining here on warm sands. We have been without Kynareth's blessings for too long. The rains are most welcome. But a few more days like this, and we won't be considered a desert anymore. Anyway, it's time once again for this one to tend the inn. Excuse please while the fires are stoked, and fresh water is put to the flame...

Are brew of the day is Miami espresso, and the biscuits will be peanut butter chocolate chunk. (A new recipe for this one) Checking the hot sheets we have 39 new mods. Patches, and Jiggles, and fixes oh my, patches and jiggles and fixes... Weee're off to see the greybeards, the wonderful greybeards of... Wrong universe, sorry. Let's see what catches the eye of an old cat over a fresh cuppa.

WANGJH332233 released Skytities Standalone Version Patch as their second mod.
"changes the way skytities clothing and armor are crafted in the ESP, using outfits instead of materials to craft!" No link needed, but welcome back

mitzi released Believable Lighting Colors
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/162062
"This mod adjusts the color of light sources in Skyrim to achieve a more natural, realistic appearance — inspired by Realistic Lighting Overhaul SSE. In reality, the color temperature of candlelight or firelight is around 2000K, giving off a warm orange tone. In vanilla Skyrim, however, these lights appear overly yellow, resulting in an unnatural look.

Nice, The inns look good, but still a little too vanilla in large spaces for old cats. Thanks

riverbord released Mixed Arctic Tundra Grass
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/165226
"A grass overhaul for just the tundra compatible with your preferred grass mod. Features realistic arctic tundra colors consisting of red, orange, yellow and green plants."

This is their first grass mod, and they're still figuring it out. Intended for CS, but does not support complex grass, or parallax. Interesting look, but inconsistent. Thanks, keep at it.

MrTenshi released two today (?sfw?)
https://next.nexusmods.com/profile/MrTenshi/mods?gameId=1704
Almost a year of making slooty outfits craftable. Everyone needs a hobby. Thanks

ZxUxBxExR released two as well
https://next.nexusmods.com/profile/ZxUxBxExR/mods?gameId=1704
Shouting and world encounter fixes

The shouting mod is for testing use, But the world encounter fixes, is definitely worth a look. The changes are well considered. In fact have a cookie

And we'll finish up with SKYKLFS INTERIOR SERIES - ARCADIA'S CAULDRON
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/165245
"An overhaul of Arcadia's Cauldron interior. ESL"

This is their third, and the most subtle. The old cat actually likes this one. Not exactly a mod of the day, but worth a look and a cookie.

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!

Goooooood Morning Tamriel

It is Loredas the 22nd of Sun's Dusk and wage slaves rejoice the weekend has arrived. Time once again for a very sleep deprived old cat to tend the inn. Excuse please while the fires are rebuilt, and fresh water is put to the flame...

Our brew of the day is Capetown Lungo, and the biscuits are chocolate chip. Checking the hot sheets we have 53 new mods. Lots of jangle and patches, but few caught the eye. Let's dive in over a fresh cuppa...

xpanchy released Quiet Cities - No more dialogue spam
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/165112
"No more idle dialogue spam from merchants, beggars and some others. Never hear "Shiny trinkets for your good lady!" ever again" Your game your way. Thanks

kuroishitam released SkyLore - Ingredients
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/165139
"lets you read the description of an ingredient while crafting a potion" Thanks for this as well

SKYKLFS INTERIOR SERIES - BELETHORS GENERAL GOODS
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/165131
"An overhaul of Belethors General Goods in Whiterun. ESL"

This is their second in the series, but it looks like Belethor at least still has a pace to sleep ;-)

And finally The Nook - A BYOH Dunmer Home In Windhelm by Cursedobjects
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/165056
"A small to medium-sized, 3-level home located in the Grey Quarter of Windhelm. It has a BYOH setup, where you purchase the empty house and furnish the place yourself! Perfect for Dunmer characters"

A little too cluttered for this old cat, but it's nice to see the BYOH system put to use. The 'secret' display room gives it a noobish feel, but worth a look. Thanks

And that's it for today. The fires are stoked, the kettles scrubbed, and the floors are swept and mopped. We-B-Open! excuse me...

Goooooooood Morning Tamriel!

Ah'vrie wishes you well. It is Fredas the 21st of Sun's Dusk, and thank the divines, the weekend is nigh. The blessed moons are new. We wish the goddess a pleasent rest. Anyway, it is 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 flame...

Our brew of the day is Kahawa ya Congo, and the biscuits are fudge brownie cookies. Checking the hot sheets we have 51 new, from the usual eclectic sources. Let's see what catches an old cat's eye over a fresh cuppa or two.

Abysswalkerls released Yogurt's Community Shader preset as a first mod. Welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/165002
"Community shader presets, reconstructing lighting and post-processing."

Not a bad look, make sure to check the requirements. Not quite to ENB standards yet, but worth a look. A nice first mod. Thanks

anicelady released Harborview Manor as a first mod. Welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/164961
"A lore-friendly player home overlooking Solitude, with room for family, followers, and LOTS OF BOOKS!"

Well if by lore friendly you mean a combination of Dragon's reach and the temple from Whiterun smushed together and dropped overlooking Solitude. LOL, It's quite nicely done though, and it's a first mod so we won't poke too much. Oversized with lots of displays. Exactly what you expect. Thanks

SvGAtomic released 2 first mods today. Welcome
https://next.nexusmods.com/profile/SvGAtomic/mods?gameId=1704
Lower starting skills, and tweaks to travel packs. We were all young once. Google is your friend... Just saying. ;-)

kaolinite77 ported another player home from 1xmiha
Dii Dremjaar - A Cabin in the Rift near Ivarstead
"A quaint cabin in the Rift equipped with all the essentials."

This is more the old cat's style when it comes to player homes. Hopefully the unicorn is optional, one must have standards ;-)

Lets see... spaz490 is still converting Ave jewelry to UBE. Thanks
https://next.nexusmods.com/profile/spaz490/mods?gameId=1704

AonoBR spammed us with 8 patches and tweaks. Thanks
https://next.nexusmods.com/profile/AonoBR/mods?gameId=1704

MichaelDovah released 2 more follower mods today. Thanks
https://next.nexusmods.com/profile/MichaelDovah/mods?gameId=1704
Argonians and Bretons. If it makes you happy, but... lizards don't like cold. Their camp should have been in the Eastmarch near the hot springs... Just saying ;-)

It would seem SKYKLF is beginning an 'interior series' and started with Warmaidens
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/165017
"An overhaul of Warmaidens Interior. ESL. LUX patch included." Oookay... So where do they live? Keep working at your craft and someday... ;-)

We're going to finish up with a little eye candy. There really is no mod of the day.

Artemis Quiver BodySlide Preset for CBBE 3BA (NSFW)
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/165016
"Hourglass body that is brazenly curvaceous, stunning and gratuitously bombastic. Spindly thin and perky at zero, absolutely stacked at maximum."

And that's a pretty accurate description. The old cat can't remember such a broad variation by weight this really does cover waifish, to stacked quite well, and yet not outrageous. Could be a good choice if you're not going 'Obody' but want to see a lot of variety in shapes. Worth a look for certain. 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 warm your bones. We-B-Open!

Gooooood Morning Tamriel!

Ah'vrie wishes you well. It is Turdas the 20th of Sun's Dusk and a stormy predawn here on warn sands. Apologies for being tardy, but this one always sleeps like the dead during a good storm. Excuse please while the fires are stoked, and fresh water is put to the flame...

Our brew today is Miami espresso, and the biscuits are ginger. Checking the hot sheets we have 42 new mods, and a few caught the eye. Lets dive in over a fresh cuppa.

kaolinite77 ported yet another little house. Her fourth this week

Dii Reyth Tiidnavir by 1xmiha
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/164959
"A player tree house located in Eastmarch hold near Mzulft."

Ah'vrie remembers this one, and has to admit it's really cute, and a nice out of the way location. Worth a look. This would make a great starter home for the right character. thanks

FATMANHOOVY released Camp under a bridge
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/164918
"a small camp under a bridge" your game your way. Thanks. This one could use some polish, but it's only their third mod, we'll cut them some slack ;-)

wzcexe released MO Skin as their third mod. (NSFW)
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/164923
"A skin I made for UBE 2.0 with both smooth and rough versions."

The rough versions is not terrible, the face is 4K, the body is 8K so we know where their priorities lie ;-) It's their first skin mod, and not bad. Thanks

kuroishitam released East Empire Company Open Crate - BOS
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/164956
"This mod changes the model of some open crate with unused EEC open crate model. Enjoy!" A nice little mod, and no OIF. Thanks Have a cookie

We'll finish up with two from MichaelDovah
https://next.nexusmods.com/profile/MichaelDovah/mods?gameId=1704
A couple of new faces for for well known custom voiced followers. If it makes you happy.

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!

Goooood Morning Tamriel!

Ah'vrie wishes you well. it is Middas the 19th of Sun's Dusk, and a very quiet predawn here on warm sands. The blessed moons are waning through the final crescent, and the festival of the ne moons begins tomorrow night. For now, it is once again time for this one to tend the inn. Excuse please while the fires are stoked, and fresh water is put to the flame...

Our brew of the day is from India, and the biscuits are classic chocolate chip, but the old cat did visit the markets yesterday and picked up sour cherries from the mythical realm called France. So the oatmeal cookies are still on the menu for later. Checking the hot sheets we have 51 new mods in the usual eclectic mix of jangles, patches, and pointy sticks. Let's see what catches an old cat's eye this day...

mommybody released OP Potato as a first mod. Welcome.
"Raw Potatoes will now give 2000 health" ... No link needed, but thanks

Hexanode released Spell Object Shine - Clairvoyance Highlights Switches
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/164848
"Makes switches and trap triggers glow when casting Clairvoyance"

Well it is clairvoyance... Hinting at choices and possible dangers is fitting. Maybe not for old cat's but not a bad concept. Thanks.

xYZeroYx released Typing Mode
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/164851
"Stop menu/hotkeys to be triggered when enter the typing mode, so you can use caps lock, delete, home and all other keys that others mod/menus use."

Seems to be geared towards in game editing. If you need it you already know. Thanks

kuroishitam released Telekinesis Extension - OIF
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/164821
"With this mod you can now use telekinesis on objects which are not interactable before"

It's a limited list of 'crap' you can grab and throw at people using telekinesis. Still can't pull a switch with it. *snore*

Lets see... switching to the real estate.

kaolinite77 ported Tiny Little Living - Solitude by lolikyonyu
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/164881
"One of the several tiny homes from lolikyonyu's Tiny Little Living LE mod ported to SSE. I had used this house for many years in LE Skyrim, and missed having it in SSE."

Wow... everything you expect in a mid size player home stuffed into a suitcase LOL. You'd have to go outside to change your mind. It's kind of cute though. Thanks

MichaelDovah released Blisterwort - Little Mushroom House
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/164879
"This mod adds a small mushroom house near Darkwater Crossing, with storage, navmesh for followers, some dark elf decoration, and many workstations."

And a diseased mushroom at that LOL. Cute in it's own weird way, but the old cat can't think of any backstory this would fit. LOL. Your game your way. Thanks

And finally, not exactly a mod of the day...

RuggeMaltes released Mossy Rocky Complex Parallax v2... (WIP)
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/164875
"this is a new version of my rocky mossy complex parallax! this time i mixed rocks and moss to achieve a realistic look as much as i could and implemented complex materials, it's an experiment and will be updated and revised based on you're feedback."

Well, since you asked... The old cat's feed back is this fits some of their other retextures, but the color pallets don't really match up well with Skyrim's default texture colors. This has a flavor of limestone near a river more than a mountain roads pallet. Worth a look though. Thanks

The fires are stoked, the kettles scrubbed, and the floors are... Don't drop your food. Have a seat by the fires and warm your bones while the old cat looks for the mop. We-B-Open!

Gooooooood Morning Tamriel!

Ah'vrie wishes you well. it is Tirdas the 18th of Sun's Dusk, and another chilly predawn here on warm sands. The blessed moons wane quickly through the final crescents and the festival of the new moons begins Turdas. I pity the old hunters hangovers come Morndas, but the stories go get more interesting when the celebrations run four days. Anyway, it's time for this one to tend the inn for our most honored guests. Excuse please while the fires a re stoked, and fresh water is put to the flame.

Our brew of the day is Arpeggio Extra, and this one will be baking fresh after he visits the markets a little later... Maybe oatmeal sour cherry cookies? It's been a while. Checking the hot sheets we have 31 new in the usual eclectic mix. Let's see what catches an old cat's eye over a fresh cuppa or two.

jaredvalentine released HD Riften - Ratway and Thieves Guild Wood Panels as their first mod.
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/164790
"A retexture for all the wood boards and flooring in the Ratway and Thieves Guild."

Welcome, A nice choice of textures, only the this is the one location the old, crappy, low res, moldy rotted wood textures, actually fit in really well. The new, freshly swan planks, look great, but arguably much to clean. Thanks though, We love choice.

kaolinite77 ported Dii Hofkiin - A Cabin in the Pale by 1xmiha as her second mod.
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/164792
"A cozy cabin in the Pale. Includes Sauna"

Oh, now this one the old cat likes. It's small and fits well with the region. Not thrilled with the snow drifts on the roof. Anyone from the north glancing at the slope would already be planning to shovel out the forge, LOL but it's cute and has everything you need as a starter home. Nice choice, have a cookie

Speaking on northern homes we'll turn to LH's Saturalia Shack next
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/164753
"A shack for Agrane Peryval (or Niklas)"

A fitting little shack for Niklas, complete with working fires and repaired navmesh. The old boy looks jollier already ;-) Thanks and a cookie for Niklas, hot chocolate optional

And we'll finish up with Underworld Merchants (Additional Fences) by Dovahzard
