Modding on the Spectrum

Goooooood Morning Tamriel!

Ah'vrie wishes you well. It is Tirdas the 19th of Second Seed and another bright sunny morning here on warm sands. 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 Florian Lungo, and the biscuits are fudge brownie cookies. Checking the hot sheets we have 28 new, in the usual eclectic mix. Let's see what catches the eye of an old cat over a fresh cuppa ort two.

JayGray83 released two small player homes, as their second and third mods Welcome back
https://www.nexusmods.com/profile/JayGray83/mods?gameId=1704
The Falkreath cottage includes some unique portable crafting stations and over 180 unique items to craft for use / sale. Interesting. Thanks

SussusAmogusMods released Siren Rock Lighthouse
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/180402
Buried treasure, ghostly pirates, Lovecraftian tales, murder and madness, a small island to explore, and the Wickie's Abode, a player home in a haunted lighthouse with a rotating beam!

Looks like fun, if a bit over the top as a player home, but interesting. I hope the ghosts are friendly ;-)

JJerem released Small Dungeon Pack
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/180389
"This mod adds 3 small dungeons to the Skyrim World"

All single room caves with a single tough baddie... Why not. Thanks

Flying Aceholes SKYRIMse Cozy Reshade
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/180410
A fairly subtle reshade, boosts dynamic range, contrast, and sharpness a little. The pics are out of order, but you can get a good sense of the overall look. The water falls looks a bit overly bright, but not a bad overall look.

Gerkinfeltser released Smithy Info
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/180391
"Shows smelting and tempering info on SkyUI item cards. No more guessing what an item breaks down into or what you need to improve it."

Adding modifiers to the menus, and extra info to the item cards that is only needed when crafting is not for old cats. Not to mention different crafting programs have different break down recipes, there's no mention of where this information comes from. Your game your way as always. Thanks

And finally Ren's on a roll again... more water plants.
Victoria amazonica SE
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/180396
"huge and beautiful :) 2k, combination of two species of Victoria Royal, (flowers gently animate)"

Those are huge LOL, look like the sacred water lilies from oblivion remastered, only huge
Thanks Ren. Good to see you working again. Have a cookie... normal size

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

have 73 new mods. Mostly jangles patches and pointy sticks, with a goof or two mixed in for flavor. Let's see what catches an old cat's eye over a fresh cuppa or three.

A shoutout to Tarlazo for Serana and Valerica Sandbox, A small 'by request' Ai 'sandbox' schedule tweak you probably don't need. Thanks

LuQuade released Invisible Clairvoyance NG as a second mod. Welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/180331
"This mod makes the spell "invisible" to NPCs. It preserves the visual path on the ground, strips a couple of "tags", and converts the spell to a lesser power so that NPCs don't react to the spell."

If it make you happy, why not? The old cat is still using the mod that makes the dead glow when you cast Clairvoyance. It comes in very handy in the early game.

JohnTheJohner released Clutter Smelting...
Ever heard of Google John? No link needed, added to the pile

whorrorr released three today... Someone was feeling nostalgic
https://www.nexusmods.com/profile/whorrorr/mods?gameId=1704
Dungeon mudcrabs, hairier men, and nude females (nsfw) Your game your way. Thanks

SolarPoweredWinter released three today as well.
https://www.nexusmods.com/profile/SolarPoweredWinter/mods?gameId=1704
All part of their 'AOF - Materials project. lots to read, thanks

renatornt282 released Diverse Alchemical Flora of Skyrim, after a year away.
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/180299
"I made this Mod for myself in order to have a better and lightweight alternative to Technicolor Alchemy and More Colorful Critters. I decided to post it in case if tehre is someone out there who would like my approach."

Maintains the variety, but tones down the colors... and also adds new ingredients and effects... You'll want to read the mod page. The old cat needs to re-read it LOL

Speaking of ingredients... Huh huh, see what I did there

KazukiTwo released Properly Integrated Food
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/180308
"Proper BYOH, Fishing and Survival Mode integration of foods"

Worth the read, the old cat will be testing this one right away. Downloaded. have a cookie

Speaking of patches, AllieWadeMods released Sons of Skyrim No Vanilla Armors Patch
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/180305
"Repaths all vanilla armor pieces not replaced to use Sons of Skyrim meshes" this may fix a certain old cat's issue with guard armors... Ask and the universe answers. Thanks

We'll finish up with two model replacers that don't quite het the mark.

RyokohMods released Immersive Rope Bridges ( another 'I' mod)
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/180316
"Immersive Rope Bridges redesigns every vanilla Rope Bridge in Skyrim, with new high-quality models and textures"

Galvanized metal edging with dowels, unattached ropes, and PBR ugly... Stick with Skeever's logical rope bridges, there's something to be said for logical LOL

Boschveerhauer released Enchanting Table Replacer
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/180263
"A replacer for the Enchanting table. No ESP"

Based on the Witcher model, an interesting look and very unique. The old cat would rather see this as a unique hand placed item, than a general replacer. Neloth and Hammel maybe? Thanks. Looks great, just maybe not everywhere.

And that will do for today. The fires are stoked, the kettles scrubbed, and the old cat needs a fresh cuppa. We-B-Open!

Gooooooood Morning Tamriel!

Ah'vrie wishes you well. It is Sundas the 17th of Second Seed, and a quiet morning here on warm sands. Excuse please while the fires are stoked, and fresh water is put to the flame...

Our brew of the day is Inspirazione a Napoli, and the biscuits are fudge brownie cookies. Checking the hot sheets we have 60 new in the usual eclectic mix of jangles, patches, and pointy sticks. Let's see what catches an old cat's gaze this morning over a fresh cuppa.

kevinflemming released Custom NPC and Wildlife Behaviour as their first mod. Welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/180162
"A SkyPatcher Configuration file. Personal faction tweaks, that stop NPCs from constantly running off to kill prey animals."

If you don't have that problem, you don't need this, but thanks for sharing, and welcome.

GracefulStrings released Medicine - Simple Potion Making
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/180239
"This mod adds a few simple recipes to the cookpot for alchemists and healers to create powerful remedies - and poisons"

Actually, it's recipes for making two 'vanilla' healing potions, and one vanilla poison. Thanks

renthal311 released common reed various animation SE
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/180193
"I planted the riverwood and the nearby lake with reeds for greater realism"

Seems Ren is still focused on water plants... These look good, reminds me a little of rice. Ren's stuff is always top notch. Thanks

YXZ Mountains Reforged 4K 8K
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/180135
Several color variations, and rock types. unfortunately it's PBR... Not impressed

Acheng's nat3 Blue Community Shader Presets by Han8Cheng as their second mod.
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/180253
"These are blues-style presets. They offer a fresh take on the look"

The old cat is a little confused by this 'jiaye AIO 1.20' it's evidently a mod list available on their discord, that's in active development. This is their second mod, and the old cat missed the first a couple of days ago, so I'm including this. It has a long list of requirements. And Lux based so not for old cats.

And finally we do have a mod of the day... and this is similar to the way the old cat wanted to do this years ago, but didn't have the chops to pull it off. If this works as advertised, this will be the first three cookie mod we've seen in quite a while. Beat the drums!

Hearthfire Additions Where You Want Them by alizardi
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/180190
"Build the nine Hearthfire additions in any position. You can also (with the optional files) pick how to furnish the back room and outdoor porch, mix and match upper and lower tower rooms, build an attic, and add a Staff Enchanter and Spider Imbuing Chamber."

The system is interesting. Build the exterior floor plan you want, then when you get to the workbench in the room, you can select which room to build there.

This version only covers Lakeview as a initial release, but all three homes will be covered. This needs to be tested in game. This is exactly the approach Ah'vrie has always wanted to release himself. Three cookies, but needs in game testing... Might be worth a restart just to check it out LOL. Wouldn't be the first time ;-)

And that will do for today. 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!

Gooooooood Morning Tamriel!

Ah'vrie wishes you well. it is Loredas the 16th of Second Seed and wage slaves rejoice, the weekend has arrived. It's a bright clear dawn here on warm sands, with a gentle breeze that belies the return of the sun's tyranny. The blessed moons are new this weekend, and the hunters are already in their cups, but for this one it is once again time to tend the inn for our most honored guests. Excuse please while the ash pits are emptied and the fires rebuilt... There, much better no? A happy fire warms more than the room as Ah'vrie's mother liked to say. Now to put fresh water to the flame, scrub the kettles, compost the ash, and tend the garden while the water comes to a boil. The life of an inn keeper is very glamourous yes?

Our brew of the day is Maluka mu Zimbabwe, and the biscuits are ginger. Checking the hot sheets we have 49 new mods today with enough jangle to trigger Nirnquake detectors. This one could make a fortune enchanting bras with feather spells... Not a bad idea.

Speaking of feather spells... KazukiTwo released Oblivion Feather Spells
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/180089
"This mod restores Oblivion's four Feather spells designed specifically around Survival Mode"

Well thought out, and well explained. Worth a read and a cookie. Thanks

roymend released Automatons Resist Shock instead of Frost
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/180142
"Makes all dwarven automatons have 100% shock resistance instead of their vanilla 100% frost resistance."

This one gets 2 cookies. Instant download to endorse. I guess you can fix stupid ;-)

RyokohMods released Reworked Spell Tomes
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/180121
"Each school of magic now has its own visual identity"

Sorry, this one needs a poke. The covers now simply have the name of the school and an icon... Identity? moving right along.

JarlBallin89 released two today
https://www.nexusmods.com/profile/JarlBallin89/mods?gameId=1704
Farmhouse Doors, and archery targets

The doors look good, but none of them have locks, the archery targets look even better, Ah'vrie likes the color variations, but the woven fabric is a questionable choice. Thanks

Pieter82 released Whiterun Simple 3D Wooden Trellis
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/178881
"This is my attempt at a rustic rework of the decorative trellis that forms part of the Whiterun Tree Circle, Dragonsreach Castle, Temple of Kynareth and Skaal Village."

This is "Simple", and also anything but. Beautiful work. This isn't trying to add depth to the tired vanilla trellis, this is an entirely new 3D mesh, and it looks great. There's nothing wrong with simple. 2 cookies; Downloaded the all files version.

WangJuhua released Solstheim Expansion - Dunmer Style Additions
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/180133
"This mod aims to expand several settlements across Solstheim, making the island feel more lively after the Raven Rock Mine resumes operation."

Requires Ghosts of the Tribunal, This is the first mod to use the new modder's resources. a small settlement, tiny really. More a house and a couple of outbuildings, and a house with a wall. Worth a look. The new kit pieces are interesting.

stain2003 released People Of Century - NPC Replacer for Whiterun - Skypatched
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/180083
"A collection of npc replacers for whiterun and riverwood using skypatch, seamlessly injects faces into npcs without beaking compatibility"

Worth a look, Quite a few are younger than they should be, but at least they're not all super model teenagers ;-)

serkethetyt released two today
https://www.nexusmods.com/profile/serkethetyt/mods?gameId=1704
Vargarskuggi - SerketHetyt's Farkas and Vilkas Overhaul, and the Himbo preset used.

Ah'vrie won't even comment on the brothers. They look mean. I think the bear is showing. Definitely worth a look.

Ah'vrie will comment on the Himbo preset. Instant download, it's one of the best male warrior sculps the old cat has seen. Trust an old cat, a lot of work went into that sculpt.
This one gets 2 cookies as well. That kind of day

And lets finish up with a little eye candy. The old cat is still looking for interesting shapes for an O-body preset collection. "Ianthe Pear Shape" interesting and reasonable (NSFW)
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/179801

And that will do for today. The new ale casks were delivered last night so drink up. We're serving mudcrab scrambles for the early meal. We'll see what looks good at the markets later before deciding on the late meal, though this one did bag a dragon yesterday...

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!

Goooooooooood Morning Tamriel!

Ah'vrie wishes you well. It is Fredas the 15th of Second Seed, and thank the divines the weekend is nigh. It's a beautiful dawn here on warm sands. With clear skies and gentle breezes. Unfortunately the return to the tyranny of the sun has already begun. Desert life is not for the weak. Anyway, it's 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 from Indonesia, and the biscuits are oatmeal raisin. Checking the hot sheets we have 66 new, but a third are translations. Let's see what catches the eye over a fresh cuppa or two.

A quick shoutout to Skal who's still dropping bits of clutter about the map. Stonehills today

brecky34 released Song of the Green - Auri Marker and Quest Removed, their first mod
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/180020
"A small mod that removes the journal entry and map marker for Auri's location"

Welcome, and thanks. This one also prefers immersion to map markers.

Lucturos released Unique Cloaks Enchanted as their second mod. Welcome back
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/180028
"Very basic add on mod for Cloaks of Skyrim to add simple enchantments to all of the unique cloaks that didn't have any"

I remember Nick and Nazenn discussing that back in oldrim at the release. Nick wanted to make sure that many were available for you to enchant. Your game your way. Thanks

JobiWanUK released I Love You Too
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/180031
"Adds the dialogue option 'I love you' to any NPC with a supported voice type and a relationship rank of 4 or more"

That's out Awwww mod for the day. Will probably need patching for most dialog overhauls

Kralyks is still adding trees. Forest of the Reach
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/179688
"Adds pine trees to several areas of the Reach to make it a denser environment."

Not for this old cat anyway. It's a bit too dense. The "steps" (rolling foot hills) are not usually densely wooded. A mix of trees and less dense would be a welcome version. Thanks

Let's see... Windhelm Bridge Braziers by m0ds1984
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/179807
"Adds fire braziers along Windhelm Bridge, providing heat for Frostfall players on arrival/departure!"

This one gets a cookie, not just for the player, but the guards ought to be freezing to death as well. This looks like it should have been vanilla. Symmetrically placed where they make sense. Thanks

renthal311 released underwater plants SE
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/180035
"I thought to end the topic of blurred Bethesda textures and the monotony of the same color, two new color variants of plants, there are more of them now and they are more dense, vortex installation, overwrite all files"

The old cat does like the color variations... Pretty. Thanks Ren

And we'll finish up with Volkihar Livery by ArcaneImpact
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/180026
"This is a simple replacer for Vokihar castle rugs, banners, and Harkon's throne. They'll now have a unique design and iconography more fitting for a vampire lord"

Now this looks regal, befitting ancient wealth. interesting symbolism. Almost looks like a gargoyle skull and a snowflakes... Okay. LOL, it looks good. Crimson red... nice touch

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!

Goooooooooood Morning Tamriel!

Ah'vrie wishes you well. It is Turdas the 14th of Second Seed and it's quiet this morning at the inn. The blessed moons have long set, and it's past 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 Capetown Lungo, and the biscuits are apricot thumbprint, or rather will be in a little while. The ovens are still heating up. Checking the hot sheets we have 60 new mods from the usual eclectic mix of sources. Let's see what catches the eye today.

https://www.nexusmods.com/profile/cryptcat213/mods?gameId=1704
Orc eyes extended, and an Orc preset. Thanks

renthal311 released HD Riften doors SE
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/179906
"new doors to Riften, I tried to keep the atmosphere and structures of Skyrim, very efficient mesh and 2k textures"

Well, Ren has an interesting take on old and worn. Like the design, not thrilled with the semi rotted wood textures, but they do fit Riften very well. Have a cookie

Xtudo released Dead and Daedric Guardians... My patches
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/179896
"Skeleton Replacer HD models for the amazing Dead and Daedric Guardians and Extra Playable Skeletons mods"

And finally, Not sure this is mod of the day material, But it certainly demands a good look.

Clothes of the Northern Folk by Somethingwhatever
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/179901
"This mod adds a large selection of clothing and accessories for both men and women, based on Norwegian folk clothing"

Heidi comes to Skyrim. Looks more like ceremonial / holiday clothing to these eyes. Very colorful and distinctive... What, no Lederhosen? The horror LOL. Beautiful work.

knightradiant2 released Clothes of the Northern Folk - SPID Skypatcher
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/179932

I'm sure the bodyslide weight painting will follow, but with this many outfits, it might take a while.

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!

Gooooooood Morning Tamriel!

Ah'vrie wishes you well. It is Middas the 13th of Second Seed, and a sticky dawn here on warm sands. Spring is already giving way to summer here. The tyranny of the sun returns as it must, but this one does not have to enjoy it. 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 classic sugar cookies. Checking the hot sheets we have 44 new mods in the usual eclectic mix of jangles, patches, and pointy sticks. Let's see what catches the eyes of an old cat over a fresh cuppa.

blindfoldedman released Basic Class System as their second mod. welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/179864

https://www.nexusmods.com/profile/TheArtfulBadger/mods?gameId=1704
A SPID patch for Trainers Galore as opposed to hard coding, and Unnecessary NPC Class Tweaks; "Changes NPC classes to be more in line with (my interpretation of) their narrative roles" Worth reading the mod page. The changes make perfect sense. The old cat might install this one on principle, but honestly you would never know.

And we'll finish up with Ysolda Replacer COTR by EdxThatch
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/179804
"Standalone COTR replacer of Ysolda with optional HDT-SMP hair"

Not thrilled with the freckles, and moles, and the mouth gives her a sad appearance that doesn't really fit her well. Not for old cat's but we love choice. 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!

Gooooooooood Morning Tamriel!

Ah'vrie wishes you well. It is Tirdas the 12th of Second Seed, The blessed moons have set, but they will be new this weekend, and the hunters are already preparing the celebration... As always. Ah, to be young. Any6way, 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 Miami Espresso, and the biscuits are Ginger. Checking the hot sheets we have 46 new in the usual eclectic mix. Let's dive in over a fresh cuppa.

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/179782
"Want go to Elsweyr more immersively ? Forget Falkreath or Greenwood BS Bruma Synergy Patch. This one, places the carriage directly at Leyawiin-Elsweyr border gate, straight at the desert gate in front of you, make your journey across Tamriel seamlessly." Welcome

... Where immersion meets tedium. You basically have to play your way through Bruma to begin Moonpath. Based on JosephRussell's JRBrumaMoonpath. Your game your way.

taynic29's Alchemist's Shack as their first mod. Welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/179733
"I've always imagined that my Skyrim character would live as a squatter in the abandoned Alchemist's Shack until she can afford her own place. Well, now I've made it so she actually can! :)"

This one knows a certain Badger that might be interested in this mod. Adds a cook fire, and just a little clutter. Thanks

theton618 released two today
https://www.nexusmods.com/profile/theton618/mods?gameId=1704
Soul Gem Requirements Changed, and Sil Gahrot Derestricted.

So... easier shout learning, and more grand souls. Thanks

mewmewshawnte released Underground Temple of Miraak 2026
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/121643
"Bringing back another Legacy release that has been touched up for a 2026 release. For any fellow Miraak lovers like yours truly at the time, who want to role-play as a Cultist. You can find the temple on the outskirts of Raven Rock."

RP as a cultist... Oookay, why not? Thanks

whalef1273wrg released Gauldur Amulet ReEnchanted
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/179734
"The Gauldur Amulet's enchantments now scale with your skill levels and automatically adapt to your combat style"

This one gets a little weird. Make sure to read the mod page. Evidently it buffs you're highest skills... There's no way this is balanced. Hard pass.

And finally Khajiit Has Tents - Animated Banner by soupdragon1234
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/179546
"Replaces banner with an animated version"

Not exactly a mod of the day, but Ah'vrie wanted to end with a "normal" mod ;-)

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

Morning *waves* just sitting down with my first cuppa... And it's Monday. I'm going to forgo the usual 'narrative' this morning. Nothing to review

43 new mods very little catches the eye. Lots of jangle, a couple of patches, and some minor exterior overhauls that can at best be ignored. Skal is still sticking arches where they make no sense. BastosFC thinks every tower should have other towers crumbled around them... Pass

I've got two mods today.

RyokohMods released Viking Tankard - 2K26
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/179692
"New model/textures for the tankard model"

Looks like a wooden coffee mug. With a rough 'checked' crosscut exterior grain that can't possibly wrap around the cup. Other than that it's actually quite pretty. Now all you need to do is invent the lathe to precision bore the interior and grooves.

Child of AKA - Dragon Souls Strengthen Vital Essence by LeoneKingzz
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/179705
"increasing the player's vital stats (i.e., magicka, health, stamina) by +10, similar to a level up, and fully healing these stats when a soul is absorbed"

As cheats go, this is actually very reasonable. Pairs well with buffed dragons. It must be a Monday when a reasonable cheat is the mod of the day.
That's about it unless you're into anti gravity bras. We-B-Open More coffee ;-)

Goooooood Morning Tamriel!

Ah'vrie wishes you well. It is Sundas the 10th of Second Seed, and A quiet morning here on warm sands. Excuse please while the fires are stoked, and fresh water is put to the flame...

Our brew of the day is Inspirazione a Napoli, and the biscuits are fudge brownie cookies. Checking the hot sheets we have 47 new, in the usual eclectic mix of jangles, patches and pointy sticks. Let's see what catches an old cat's eye over a fresh cuppa.

Fumarmot07 released emi Face presets as a first mod. Welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/179304
"This is the first mod I ever created. I tried to create both realistic and anime-style faces"

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/179592
"This mod makes the caged wolf from the unmarked location Trappers Dilemma in the Rift, near Fort Greenwall, a potential player follower"

The old cat has wanted this mod since oldrim... Unfortunately Skyrim's stupid dogs still suck. We need Dogmeat's AI package brought over.

AirWolf359 released Considerate Followers NG
