Modding on the Spectrum

Gooooooooood Morning Tamriel!

Ah'vrie wishes you well. It is Fredas the second of Second Seed and thank the divines the weekend is nigh. Excuse please while the fires are stoked, and fresh water is put to the flame... Our brew of the day is hot in a cup, and the biscuits are for later. In the hot sheets we have 35 new mods, Jiggles and patches and noobs oh my. Let's dive right in...

CharlesG released Jabberwocky as a first mod. Welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/149021
"Jabberwocky, by Lewis Carroll. You can find the book exactly where you would expect such a mad book to be." Tea anyone? Thanks, A fun first mod. Have some cheese.

Sooperjenus released The Adventure Begins as a first mod. Welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/148538
"A Helgen starting gear, Riverwood player home, and horse and dog companion mod to hopefully make vanilla start life easier from a first time modder ignoramus...cough* cough*...I mean sooper jenus"

LOL, we like him... he's silly. As another graduate of the looney toons school of insanity I proclaim this mod of the century. Have a carrot

XiiCapo7 released Rebuilding Ironwood Lodge as their second mod. Welcome back
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/148998
"This mod adds a new Player home in the town of Riverwood and a new quest." Poking, Interesting location, You have to find the original owners and then rebuild the place. No pictures of the ruined house, but worth a look. Thanks

Noscura released three first mods today
https://next.nexusmods.com/profile/Noscura/mods?gameId=1704
A vamp outfit and a couple of patches. Thanks

Lets see... benorun974 released Another Cities
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/148989
Ports all of the "another Skyrim" mods by Kazeii1 into SSE Thanks, forgot about those

mrx16 released Survival Teleport Runes
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/148976
"A simple mod that adds teleport runes that allow player to teleport to major Skyrim locations in Survival mode" Fast travel by any other name... Thanks, You can just unlock fast travel... just saying ;-)

BlackWolf24 released HD Foxes and Pelts
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/148981
No offense intended, but these are some really ugly fur textures. Pass

This one is interesting. yag1z released a really nice tree overhaul a coup[le of weeks ago, an ENB preset two days ago, and today... A trees for potatoes mod. There's a story there

Lightwood Trees
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/149007
"One of the most optimized tree replacer mods for Skyrim" sorry did you say something LOL. Only pine trees. The trees look very uniform, and the bark is boring. If it will run on a potato why not. Spuds need love too. Thanks

And finally Cloak Spells Revamped by AndrealphusVIII
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/149000
"This is a small tweak to how Cloak spells work. Opponents need to attack the caster to take damage from a Cloak spell." A reasonable tweak. The old cat sort of prefers all of the baddies in the room slowly roasting, but your game your way ;-)

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

Goooooood Morning Tamriel!

Ah'vrie wishes you well. It is Turdas the 1st of Second Seed, and a quiet predawn here on warm sands. The blessed moons have set and 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 Indonesia, and we'll bake fresh biscuits when Ah'vrie returns from the markets a little later. Checking the hot sheets we have an eclectic mix of 45 new mod. Let's see what catches the eye of an old cat over a fresh cuppa, or three.

Crowprince released Rings of Leveling - Faster way to level up as their first mod. Welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/148903
"adds rings to the game that will increase the speed of leveling" Ah'vrie finds it interesting that noobs always want to speed up the game, and experiences players always want to slow it down. There's probably a lesson there. Thanks, but pass

Nik5200 released Sprint Sensitivity as a first mod. Welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/148948
"Keep your sprint sensitivity identical to your normal sensitivity" The old cat has no idea what this one is talking about, but thanks?

YakiUdonKirai released Vigilant of Stay Inn as a second mod after a 5 year absence
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/148930
"This mod adds the Vigilant of Stendarr to inns throughout Skyrim" If it makes you happy why not. They will heal you but serve no other purpose. Thanks

yoshiki's renovation - OldHroldan INN
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/148935
"Immersive and loa-friendly, OldHroldan INN renovation."

LOL, there's nothing about this that's immersive or lore friendly, but if it makes you happy why not? Your game your way. Thanks

gera1264 released Better Vanilla Trees
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/148954
"Vanilla trees with lighting fixes, enhanced meshes and upscaled textures."

And the ugliest bark in years. When did Skyrim become a mangrove swamp? The moss is only supposed to grow on the north side of the tree LOL, Thanks

Lets see... Unofficial TCC Display Helper by jiuzhoucanglan
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/148952
"A unofficial The Curator's Companion display helper, intend to improve it's moreHUD Integration and performance. Thanks Icecreamassassin's permission to publish it."

No details given, but it's supposed to speed things up using SKSE functions. Needs testing. If you test mid game there's are a few steps. Read the entire page.

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

Freak's Floral Meadows by TheBloodyFreak of course
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/148525
"Freak's Floral Meadows is a light grass mod that aims to give you a beautiful and realistic grass layout in the most optimized way possible."

For use with CS or ENB, never both. Color an old cat impressed. These are some of the best regional grass textures to ever grace the game. The forest undergrowth looks simply amazing. These have a natural look nothing else comes close to, and enough regional diversity to keep it interesting. Instant download, these are going in my next restart.
3 cookies. Amazing work.

And that will do for today. The fires are stroked, 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 30th of Rain's Hand... By the divines is it Second Seed already. Soon the tyranny of the sun will return to the desert. This one can not complain, no he can't. The summer heat is short lived, but the desert is beautiful the rest of the year. This is a fair trade no? Anyway, 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 boil...

Our brew of the day is still Napoli, Ah'vrie needed a fresh cuppa and was too lazy to choose. The biscuits are Tate's Ginger Zingers. Worthy gluten free cookies are so hard to find. ;-) Checking the hot sheets we have 24 from the usual suspects, Jiggles and patches abound. Let's see what catches an old cat's eye this day. Hint? not a lot ;-)

Honorable mention to Halffaces for HFs - Noble End Tables - Remodel
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/♥♥♥♥59
We've been ignoring HF because everything is so insanely high in vram usage It's been for screen archers only. Now they included a 1K and 2K file along with the 4K. Maybe their learning. Beautiful models if totally over the top for Skyrim. Thanks for adding low res

Vayura released Vergi_wood plate as her second mod. Welcome back
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/♥♥♥♥60
"This small mod replaces mesh and texture of a common wooden plate in taverns." Love the tree pattern. Straight off of the Aylied ruin doors in OR... or could be anyway. Pretty, thanks

Onecoldtru released their second 'SOMBody conversion mod. Welcome back
https://next.nexusmods.com/profile/Onecoldtru/mods?gameId=1704
Your jiggles your way ;-) Nuph said

Stabscaliber released their fourth Jarl's longhouse overhaul - Drangavik Hall
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/♥♥♥♥75
"A complete interior overhaul of the Winterhold Jarl's Longhouse." Neatly furnished and cluttered. No idea why there is a mammoth rib cage over the fire... No wonder he eats at the inn. Also not really lore focused as there's all sorts of staff, soul gems, and potion clutter and we all know exactly how this Jarl feels about magic... Pass, but nicely done

Under the hood we have Baka World Map Filter
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/♥♥♥♥87
"SKSE plugin that disables the map from opening in specific worldspaces."
This was actually a request which made it to the posts. Add the location to the list and your map won't open there. I could see some locations where that might make sense in the vanilla game like Blackreach, or Apocrapha. Why not. We love choice.

And finally our mod of the day. The mad harlequin returns in two new flavors, and even an available custom AI voice (If you download the linked Simply Open Source Voice Pack)

MW Cicera aka CiceReal aka Female Cicero... by Lexa0100
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/148669
"As I promised 99 years ago, a visual overhaul for the "adorable" Cicera, the female version of the psycho manlet assassin of the DB."

Available as a replacer or a standalone follower. Made to work with the Cicereal replacer, or Cicero female Skypatcher replacer. Several hair, eye and makeup choices. And of course a patch for the custom voice if you get it. Young eager if you don't.

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

Goooooooood Morning Tamriel!

Ah'vrie wishes you well. It is Tirdas the 29th of Rain's Hand and a quiet predawn at the inn. Sorry for being tardy. This one needed the sleep, but the blessed moons have set, and 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 Inspirazione a Napoli, and the biscuits are chocolate chunk. Checking the not sheets we have 39 new mods. Mostly jiggles and patches. Let's dive right in over a fresh cuppa or two.

IPunchGremlins released Gallows Hall Entrance Overhaul as a first mod. Welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/148848
"Simple mod that redecorates the outside of Gallows Hall." adds a small dock and ruined tower. If it makes you happy. Thanks

mithrilarmor released 7 first SSE mods today. The 'Better Skyrim' Series
https://next.nexusmods.com/profile/mithrilarmor/mods?gameId=1704

Ah'vrie does not know where to begin. The pictures look like they were scanned straight out of a manual, complete with thumbnails. It touches almost every record, and they released 11 'first' mods for Oblivion, and 9 for Morrowind. All today, and they've only ever given one endorsement... The old cat smells an AI rat, and can't possibly do any sort of meaningful comparison, but serious truckload of salt on this one.

Ah'vrie can compare the changes to his current vanilla Oblivion leather armor at a glance, and the defense values were basically doubled, so records have been altered. Needs serious comparisons to be made, and 27 'first' mods across three BGS titles is a red flag. PASS

Oakenshielb released Humble Beginnings - New Odd Classes Addon
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/148830
"This mod adds eight new backgrounds to the Humble Beginnings mod. Made by following the tutorial provided by the mod author." Creative and worth a look if you use the mod. Thanks

And that's about it. No mod of the day to speak of. Renthal has lost it completely and released a resource 'fungus' not in the game... Oookay. Basically everything else is a patch or jiggles.

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!

It is Morndas the 28th of Rain's Hand and wage slaves lament, the weekend is over. Hide if you can or work if you must, it's Morndas again. It's another chilly predawn here on warm sands as the blessed moons once again begin their eternal journey. The first crescent should be visible tonight. For now 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 Istanbul espresso, and the biscuits are Fudge brownie cookies. Checking the hot sheets we have 49 new from the usual eclectic sources. Let's see what catches an old cat's gaze over a fresh cuppa or two.

SulfurNitride released Blood Pool Basin Retexture as a first mod. Welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/148750
"Retexture the blood basin in the the Underforge" A minor upscaling, the reflections in the blood are a little less pixilated. Hard to tell from the pics, but thanks, and welcome.

W1terr released Winterhold College Bridge Lanterns as a first mod. Welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/148733
"A simple mod that adds lanterns to the College bridge. ESL - flagged"
The old cat won't poke a first mod, but snowy versions would have been nice. Your game your way.

gobblegookie returns after 6 years to release two today. Welcome back
https://next.nexusmods.com/profile/gobblegookie/mods?gameId=1704
Vanilla player home map markers, and new flawless gemstone meshes. Thanks (That's one big arse diamond for 1000 LOL)

tylermcpotter released Lakeview Manor View SE as their second SSE mod
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/148699
"Removes the trees surrounding Lakeview Manor. ESL."

Your game your way... On one level it makes sense from a 'new construction' point of view, but in the old cat's eyes it goes to far, virtually clear cutting this side of the lake. Thanks, but the old cat will pass

ICFur's 3D Tundra Scrubs
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/148735
"Mesh and texture replacement for Tundra Scrubs. Full Seasons, Shrubs of Snow, and Seasonal Landscapes support. Also includes PBR option." And still just plain ugly... thanks?

Pan's Nameless Vampires by Pandorable of course
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/148741
"A visual overhaul of 65 nameless vampires." Dead hotties? Why not LOL. Thanks

And finally an interesting mod from an engineering standpoint.

Logical Rope Bridges by wSkeever
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/148652
"Vanilla bridges contain useless ropes. This mod makes the ropes structural." Functional suspension cables... One of those things you just can't unsee. Nicely done, and long overdue. One of those mods you never knew you needed. Immediate download. 2 cookies

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 27th of Rain's Hand and a quiet predawn at the inn. The blessed moons are new and the hunters have been celebrating since Fredas. More than a few will regret that tomorrow as is always the case LOL. They never learn. Anyway, 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 a mixed bag while the old cat uses up a few roasts. Currently it's Miami espresso and Indonesia which is a surprisingly nice blend. We'll be baking fresh biscuits a little later, but there are plenty of cookies for now. Checking the hot sheets we have 35 new mods, Mostly jiggles and patches. Let's dive right in with a fresh cuppa.

azuraphel released No Hanging Rabbits and Pheasants as a first mod. Welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/148636
"I love animals and was disappointed to find out there's no mod that would replace these models. Now that I found the solution for myself, I thought I'd help out anyone who wishes to get the same tweak for their game since there's no alternative on Nexus yet."

That get's the Awwwww moment for the morning ;-) Thanks for sharing

VanquisherXVI released Waifu Housecarls as a first mod. Welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/148664
"So what I really needed is NPCs done in the style I've made for myself. It's got a hint of realism, but it's generally more stylized and beautified." Nothing wrong with a little eyecandy for the houses. Thanks for sharing. The old cat sort of likes Iona.

TheAssassinGene released MultiMod as a frist SSE mod. Welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/148663
Another combination tweak mod for the pile. "Guardian stone Enhancement, 65k Gold Merchants, Instant Merchant Restock, Wear Several Rings, Weightless Items(Potions, Ingredients, books, letters, Misc .etc) - Not anniversary Items to many bugs. Lockpicking Assist, Infinite Enchantments, Spells Scale with your level, and a few More" Pass but thanks

Shekhinaga released Magic Fixes and Tweaks SKSE
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/148647
"Fixes a few engine bugs with Skyrim's magic, and has a few optional tweaks." This is mostly dealing with the spell absorption bug. Worth a read, it goes further than most of the existing fixes. SKSE based

Lets see... Rlordumx released Kingdom Of Fantasious Tranquility
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/148641
This is their forth or fifth NAT.CS preset. Yellow fog? Not for old cats but it's not the old cat's game. Thanks?

And we'll finish up with Thalmor Refined - Vanilla-like ESP-less replacer
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/148671
"An ESP-less completely modular replacer for Thalmor members. Generics, informators, traitors included."

The old cat's on the fence with this one. Keeps the brows, eyes, pointy chins, and of course the ears. The noses are a little too... human. Not perfect, but better than most. We'll let our lovely Gnewna have the last word.

And that will do for today. Thge 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!

Goooooooood Morning Tamriel!

Ah'vrie wishes you well. It is Loredas the 26th of Rain's hand and wage slaves rejoice the weekend has arrived. The blessed moons will be new tonight, and the hunters have already started their celebrating. It is another chilly predawn here on warm sands, but this one can already feel the tyranny of the sun approaching. This one will enjoy the spring while it lasts. Anyway, it is time once again for this one to tend the inn for our most honored guests. Excuse please while the ash pits are emptied, the vents are cleaned, and the fires rebuilt. You may wish to cover your tankards as this can get a tad dusty... There, much better no? Ah'vrie always likes to start the weekend off with happy fires, and a happy fire needs to breathe. Now to compost the ash, tend the garden, scrub the kettles... The life of an innkeeper is most glamorous yes? Let's put fresh water to the flame.

Our brew of the day is Istanbul espresso, and the biscuits are Ginger zingers. Checking the hot sheets we have 39 new mods today. Pretty much all jiggle with the odd patch. Let's see if anything catches the eye today that doesn't have a cup size over a fresh cuppa.

Lets see... AndrealphusVIII released Hand Grinder
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/148599
"This small mod adds a hand grinder, to grind wheat into flour." Handy if you run into an oven in the field and simply have to bake emergency sweet rolls ;-) thanks

makihaze released Better Taffy - Model Swapper
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/148610
"replace Better taffy mesh with diversity by Model Swapper. no esp" Sweet

https://next.nexusmods.com/profile/AmbroseTheRed/mods?gameId=1704

kuroishitam released Headshot Kills - CIF
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/148579
"A shot to unprotected head of enemy will kill them instantly, for more immersion!"

As an unrepentant stealth archer this gets an immediate cookie. The old cat likes that you only trigger the insta-kill on an unprotected head. If the baddie is wearing a helmet you do standard damage. Nicely done. The old cat might need to test this one.

And that brings us to our mod of the day... Sound the trumpets, and summon the dancers

DarkDukla released DD - Vergi jewelry III
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/148596
"third jewelry collection from my wife :) 3BA and SMP, They can all be crafted and enchanted"

And they look great as well. Finally someone is giving AveBrave a run for the money. Definitely worth a look, and a cookie. DD's wife does nice work.

And that will do for today. The new casks of ale were delivered last night. The captain had to call for torches and boarding poles. Sight to see it was coming through the mountain passes in almost total darkness with her decks awash in torch light. Ah'vrie is undecided if this is brave or foolish with the dragons about, but the ale is fresh so this one will hold his tongue yes he will. We're serving mudcrab scrambles for the early meal. Ah'vrie will plan the late meal when he returns from the markets later.

The fires are stoked, the kettles scrubbed, and the floor was swept and mopped. Have a seat by the fires and warm your bones. We-B-Open!

Gooooooood Morning Tamriel!

Ah'vrie wishes you well. It is Fredas the 25th of Rain's Hand and thank the divines the weekend is nigh. It's a beautiful predawn here on warm sands. The blessed moons will be new this weekend and the hunters will be making merry for sure. Anyway, it's time once again for Ah'vrie 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 Tate's chocolate chip. Checking the hot sheets we have 27 new mods. An eclectic mix with plenty of jiggles and patches. Let's see what catches the eye over a fresh cuppa... Definitely a fresh cuppa.

tylermcpotter released Sprint Faster (and werewolf too) as a first SSE mod. Welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/148554
Changes sprint speed from the default 500 to 600, 700, 800, 900, or 1000. It affects both you and NPCs. Added werewolves. Only sprint. ESL. Thanks, another for the pile. We do like choice, but 1000 LOL. Run from Riften to Markarth in 2 minutes. Oookay

RangerBoyd's Campsites AIO
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/148403
"A collection of RangerBoyd's favorite Campsites." The old cat still prefers pitching a tent, but there is an appeal to having the camps waiting for you... lazy lol

We'll peek under the hood for the next two.

thehajo released CARE - Core Attribute Remaster and Expansion
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/148551
"Introduces a small and (hopefully) unintrusive system of 10 extra attributes into Skyrim, allowing you to customize your character even more." Re-imagines Attribute Value Application (AVA) by DrPharmDawg as an SKSE plugin. You'll definitely need to read the mod page for this one. It looks interesting and well thought out to an old cat. Thanks

jfixes released World Scales with Time - Unrestricted World Leveling System
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/148468
"Inspired by Time-Based Enemy Scaling, this mod offers the ability to separate world scaling from the player. The world will level-up as game-time passes."

Interesting concept, the more you slow down and enjoy the game the harder it gets? Not for an old cat's Zen game LOL. Should pair well with sprint 1000. This is another read the page mod. Intended for VR, untested in SE

And that brings us to another unexpected mod of the day

HAG - Occult Cradle Stone Tower by JJerem
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/148542
"An overhaul of the Cradle Stone Tower Location. Re-imagined Into an ancient ruin featuring new assets." Most of the 'added ruins' mods always look out of place to an old cat's eye. This one is... interesting. It has a sort of 'Weathertop' vibe from LOTR. This definitely is more interesting than the ubiquitous vanilla tower it replaces. 2 cookies

And that will do for today. The fires are stoked, the ketles 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 23rd of Rain's Hand and a chilly predawn here on warm sands. The blessed moons are waning through the final crescents and will be new this weekend. The hunters are already making plans. Anyway, 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 Miami espresso, and the biscuits are Ginger zingers. Checking the hot sheets we have 31 new from the usual sources. Let's see what catches an old cat's eye over a fresh cuppa.

alemerandeiii released Unburied - Styrnik's Crypt as a first mod. Welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/148412

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/148391
A re-released version of their first mod under a new name with some of the more... interesting edits removed. Not for old cats, The original mod got 55 unique downloads and only 4 endorsements. Renaming it doesn't improve it... Thanks

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/148420
"Sky Signs allows you to chose a birth sign at the beginning of the game after character creation. I'll be giving you a few more options!" Requires Summermyst, and FLM. Adds a nice selection of slightly OP starting buffs. Thanks

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/148358
"Allows a fully charged Unrelenting Force shout to dismember and tear apart enemies. Comes with a short optional quest. Highly configurable settings, ESP-FE plugin."

Relies heavily on the dismemberment framework to turn a dialog line into a reality. Mind the requirements. (This one may require a little therapy ;-)

And we'll finish up with two from JTP
https://next.nexusmods.com/profile/JamesTParker/mods?gameId=1704

A new Debt Alternate Routes: If you've completed Served cold or have a high enough illusion skill, you can avoid paying Mogrul

And surprisingly we'll call this our mod of the day...

Stones of Standing: "make the underpowered standing stones on par with the actually good ones. While leaving the already viable ones untouched."

Somebody finally figured out they're not all bad... Hooray! 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 Tirdas the 22nd of Rain's Hand and a rather 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 Stockholm Lungo, and the biscuits are Chocolate chunk. Checking the hot sheets we have 57 new mods, mostly jiggles, dangles, and accessories. Not much catches the eye. We'll dive right in.

AgandaurAnarchy released Under-Robes as a second mod after a two year absence
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/148356
"Replaces Underwear with Robes!" Evidently when you play Skyrim together and the players get de-synced The NPCs all run around naked. Now they run around in robes. Why not?

knightradiant2 released two today
https://next.nexusmods.com/profile/knightradiant2/mods?gameId=1704
Some Dawnguard Things, and flowerlands - a Grass Patch

The old cat likes that grass mod, Not as 'weedy' as most. It has more of a meadow feel that's been absent in recent grass mods. definitely worth a look.

FrankBlack released Diverse Woodchopping Blocks for HLT - Base Object Swapper
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/148317
"A Base Object Swapper Mod that distributes thirty-one variant woodchopping blocks around Skyrim" Happy Little trees is required for the textures. Just hide the plugin if you're not using the mod. This is a continuation of the log pile fix for lumbermills.

And our mod of the day... The old cat couldn't pass on this one. Just for BA...

Donation Barrel by tcbflash
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/148339
"Adds a "Donation Barrel" outside Helgen cave exit, for those times you looted too much junk while escaping Helgen."

Love the explanation. This mod is perfection in it's simplicity. Exactly what's needed, exactly where it's needed, and exactly when it's needed. The perfect mod. Zen achieved.

And that will do for today. The fires are stoked, the kettles scrubbed, and it still isn't Morndas. Life is good. We-B-Open!
