Goooooood Morning Tamriel!
Ah'vrie wishes you well. it is Morndas the 6th of Second Seed and wage slaves lament, the weekend is over. Hide if you can or work if you must, it's Morndas again. It's another quiet predawn here on warm sands. The blessed moons will be gibbous tomorrow and Ah'vrie thinks some of the hunters started celebrating over the weekend. Hopefully there will not be too many 'accidents' tonight. The village needs it's hunters. Anyway, the 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 out to the boil...
Our brew of the day is from India, and for biscuits it's mini crumb muffins today
Checking the hot sheets we have 61 new with plenty of jiggles, dangles, patches and goofs. Let's see what catches the eye of an old cat over a fresh cuppa.
First PhantomZerov2 gets a facepalm for USSEP Rebalanced Patch "bringing back the restoration loop with drawbacks and disadvantages" No link for this one.
codehead0 released Freeze Time as a first mod. Welcome
Turns the slow time shout into a virtual toggle, with bugs... No link, but thanks
DaSplatfestGurl formerly MissSofiaHearts released Tamriel Worldspaces
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/118678
This is a modders resource that provides complete world space and height maps for all of the other provinces of Tamriel... Bloody huge maps. Thanks
UltraHex released Dangerous Trap Fixes (D.T.F.) as a second mod. Welcome back
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/118741
"Torches ignite traps! (as they were always meant to) and other fixes to the flammable trap scripts." Seems complete and well thought out. Needs testing. Thanks
csjcsj released Whiterun Dibella Club as a third mod.
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/118757
"A beautiful Dibella 's Club in whiterun , and 9 beautiful playerhouse for beautiful followers" Empty, probably has some exterior LOD and navemesh issues judging from the third pic. A new red light district for Whiterun? Your game your way. PASS
Let's see... ArnoldP released A.N.A.L. ENB
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/118752
Quite a few requirements, and was intended as an alternate preset for their wabbajack. Worth a look, but nothing really special. Thanks
Fe4therstone released Vanilla Player Homes Revamped
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/118675
"this is an evolution of my mod Simple Player Home Improvements. I wanted to add a number of tweaks and variations while at the same time keeping the older, simpler version available" Basically adds ovens, butter churns, and bath tubs to all the player homes. If it makes you happy why not? The old cat is not thrilled with a couple of the textures, but worth a look. Thanks
Yuril released ALT - Windhelm Entrance - Defensive Towers
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/118674
"Add two towers to the Windhelm entrance." totally decorative, but
From the outside, they're inside the walls. from the inside their outside the walls. The old cat already can't un-see this. Hard Pass (Don't hire this one as a contractor)
Let's get to the good stuff...
Suinier released Flora Additions - Mugo Pine
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/118691
"This mod hand places these new Mugo Pine shrubs into the game." Interesting plant, requires "_ResourcePack.esl" from the .1130 update Thanks
Halffaces - small edit of Baskets
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/118718
"New mesh and textures for baskets" Interesting woven patterns, and worth a look. The associated cube maps make them look a little shiny to the old cat, but nice at "ONLY" 300 meg for the 4K file PASS
And yes Virginia we do have a mod of the day, sort of...
Xocco3's Mead Replacer - Non-Transparent Edit by GrIInShOt
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/118753
"An edited, non-transparent version of beautiful xocco3's Mead Replacer"
Okay, this is a little different. The original mod by Xocco3 has absolutely beautifully detailed bottles and lables. Only they made the bottles transparent, and the mead was all in bright rainbow colors which looked ridiculous. This mod faithfully preserves the aesthetic, but the bottles are now opaque, and the colors muted. About a thousand percent improvement. The only complaint the old cat has is the embossed scroll work at the base of the necks are all identical. That's easy enough to head canon if the bottles all came from the same source. Unlike the original mod, the old cat would use these. Worth a look and we'll call this a 2 cookie edit.
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!
