Modding on the Spectrum

Goooooood Morning Tamriel!

Ah'vrie wishes you well. It is Morndas the 27th of Frostfall and another chilly predawn here on warm sands. The blessed moons have set and it's once again time for this one to tend tend the inn. Excuse please while the fires are stoked, and fresh water is put to the flame...

The brew of the day is Istanbul espresso, and the biscuits are chocolate chip. Checking the hot sheets we have 46 new, and a few don't jiggle. Let's dive in over a fresh cuppa.

Boschveerhauer released Alcemist's Cottage as their first mod. Welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/162761
"Adds a small, alchemy themed cottage to Rorikstead."

Wait, it wasn't Riverwood? I'm impressed. The ivy on the walls still looks silly. Thanks

dlitt17 resurfaced after a couple of years with three new mods today
https://next.nexusmods.com/profile/dlitt17/mods?gameId=1704
All three are books to remove outfit crafting menu bloat on skimpy clothes... Thanks

HeartFlow released iWant Widgets for Starfrost
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/162769
Make sure to check the requirements. Thanks

mallemok released two Skypatcher configs for Epic crabs foresworn mods
https://next.nexusmods.com/profile/mallemok/mods?gameId=1704

Lets see... Vorongren is working on Spid variations for Khajiit fur. It's an alpha for now
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/162713
Assembly required. Tracking for now

tcbflash released Legendary Skill Reset Value 50
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/162807
"Skill resets to 50 instead of 15. (other options are 30, 40, 60, or 70)"

The old cat could see using 30 maybe. but Flash is missing the point of going legendary. You do that so you continue to rank up, and the lowest levels rank up the fastest. Thanks, but this really serves no purpose.

Cursedobjects released Glorious Windstad Manor- Modernised
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/159574
"An upgrade to the original mod - Glorious Windstad Manor. Now with new features and updated for newer systems." Not for old cats, but it's not the old cat's game. Thanks

Let's finish up with Ivy's Riften Docks Overhaul
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/162735
"Lightweight and dynamic overhaul for Riften Docks overhaul."

The old cat actually likes this one, but it would need quite a bit of patching. Ivy included several already, but CFTO wasn't included so I asked ;-)

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!

Gooooooooood Morning Tamriel!

Ah'vrie wishes you well. It is Sundas the 26th of Frostfall, and a chilly predawn here on warm sands. The blessed moons have set, and it's 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 still Kahawa ya Congo, and the biscuits are fudge Brownie cookies. (Because not only badgers love chocolate) Checking the hot sheets we have 44 new mods in the usual eclectic mix. Lets see what catches the eyes of an old cat over a fresh cuppa

Lets kick this off ugly but fitting

Grelod the Kind Refined by RedguardDiaspora
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/162700
"Even Riften’s most heartless headmistress deserves a makeover."

There's nothing about this the old cat doesn't like. Letting her inner 'beauty' shine through. Perfect for All hallows eve as well. If only the skin was green

That leads us straight to adoptable kids. The old cat still knows how to Segway...

Adoptable Argonian Hatchlings by WindreeKindheart
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/162528
"The mod adds two Argonian (Saxhleel) hatchling. One on the ship in Morthal and another in Windhelm docks." Because cold blooded doesn't have to mean heartless. Have a cookie

carpenihil released Azurite III Enhanced - Actually Darker Nights
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/162673
"Makes the nights of Azurite III Enhanced actually darker rather than just reducing overall brightness of lights" Well, it's... It's subtle. The old cat will assume it's more noticeable in game, but in all honesty not much of a change. Thanks

DEs4lar released Cathedral CS
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/162681
"A CS Visual Overhaul Version of Cathedral Weathers, Boosting Visuals for your eyes with HDR little to no Performance loss!"

Where to start... if this is about the weather shaders, then why are all the pictures clear blue skies? The PBR textures still look positively boring, but the old cat will admit that the shadows look a little better, and there is more depth to the distant terrain. CS is getting there. This is worth a look, it just doesn't seem to have anything to do with weather. It also doesn't support seasons. Um... Thanks?

Computerplayer1 High Quality Ivy - Nova Fall Recolour
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/162714
"Fall recolour of ivy.dds and ivy_autumn.dds from the excellent High Quality Ivy BOS mod by fxxkthisworld" Quite pretty and well done. Unfortunately Ivy doesn't actually change color, but this really does look good. Thanks

Ruins Chair and Tables Reforged and Upscaled by Blubbo
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/162755
"These textures were upscaled from the original vanilla textures using my comfyUI upscaling workflow. I recreated the normal maps traditionally, and the meshes are included because I had to make UV corrections to adjust them."

These look really good. Even zooming in, and not a tree in sight. Tracking for now. The old cat may add these today.

GeraldMods released More Wall Baskets
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/162291
"This mod adds new variations of Wall Baskets. The vanilla game has 10 different meshes, but all of them have only one pattern per mesh. I have created many variations of vanilla meshes with different patterns and distributed them across Skyrim via Model Swapper. These new models comes with 1K textures (vanilla has 512) and high-poly meshes."

This is something that was sorely needed in game. Adds a lot of variety to wall baskets and distributes them. Gerald spent a lot of time on this, and it shows. Requires Model Swapper, and SMIM, but definitely worth a look. Solid 2 cookie work. Well done.

Speaking of much needed variety... Hu,h huh, see what this one did there?

i329 released Torches Candlelight and Lanterns
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/162694
"23 unique lanterns with SMP physics for the player and NPCs including Dunmer lanterns, hold lanterns, faction lanterns, and more. Dynamic gameplay where lanterns start in hand and placed on hip in combat. MCM to manage the optional fuel system and hotkey."

The switching to hip during combat by pressing the hotkey could be smoother, and personally the old cat prefers hip mounted. But for NPCs this adds a lot of variety. Thanks

And finally well finish up with a new dungeon... Well it is Skyrim

The Bitter Claim - SE by Sons of Vuldur uploaded by venjhammet
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/162674
"Lying along the river northeast of Rorikstead, Skeldrun Barrow is an ancient Nordic ruin long forgotten by time."

This does not conflict with venjhammet's dungeon packs. The guardian was voiced with xVASynth, but uses no original voice assets. Worth a look, no idea what kind of enemies you'll face, but it looks well constructed. Thanks.

And that will do for today. The fires are stoked, the kettles scrubbed, and the floors were swept and mopped. Have a seat and the wenches will serve you. We-B-Open!

Gooooooooood Morning Tamriel!

Ah'vrie wishes you well. It is Loredas the 25th of Frostfall, and wage slaves rejoice, the weekend has arrived. The blessed moons have set, and it's time for this one to tend the inn for our most honored guests. Excuse please while the ash pits are emptied and the fires rebuilt. You may want to cover your tankards for a bit, this can get a tad dusty, and Khajiit no not from free refills... There, much better no? Ah'vrie always likes to start the weekend off with happy fires. They warm more then the room as his mother often said.

Our brew of the day is Kahawa ya Congo, and the biscuits will have to wait a bit. Ah'vrie needs to visit the markets yes he does. Checking the hot sheets we have 51 new from the usual eclectic sources. Let's see what catches an old cat's eye this day over a fresh cuppa.

LanYuri1116 released WereBearTalesPartOneBeneathWellShelter as a first mod. Welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/162578
"It's a story before player looking for werebear, and here's where everything start. It's a world beneath the well, not obvious, explore it and get treasure!"

At least this is a proper noob mod, not some team homework assignment. Thanks

Lordthered released Those yummy black soul gems
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/162643
"With 10 filled black soul gems and 5 fire salts you can create this dark, warm soup"

Devouror of souls huh. Well after releasing soul stealing arrows last month I guess they needed something to do with them LOL. Your game your way

MannoAlMano released Sensible Dawnguard Start
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/162621
"This mod reworks the prerequisites for starting the Dawnguard questline. Instead of simply reaching level 10, you must first complete Laid to Rest."

That makes sense on a lot of levels. Well done. Have a cookie

LvxMagick released Dovah Rider Carriage - Reborn - LAL
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/162651
"Live the life of a carriage driver in this 13 different start locations expansion for Alternate Start - LAL"

Alternate start locations complete with a traveling house... Why not? Dovah rider carriage required of course. Thanks. We love choice. Have a cookie as well

JohnTheJohner released Adventurer's Lodge
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/162603
"It's a house. Big house. Very housey." What? oh, moving right along

Lets see... Not much left but jiggle

runescapebot released Dibella's Daughters
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/162620
"Replacer for the Dibellan Priestesses."

A bit cookie cutter, in slave outfits, and Hamal for one is much too young. Thanks

Finally ZckeZckT released three today
https://next.nexusmods.com/profile/ZckeZckT/mods?gameId=1704
A female asset file, and the first two "cute" replacers. Carlotta and Mjoll. Frea next

This one has been making high quality jiggle for quite a while. Mostly presets with a sprinkle of followers until now, except for one "not been covered" replacer mod. Pretty much exactly what you expect LOL. Not going to poke. Mostly SFW

And that will do for today. The new casks of ale were delivered last night, A fresh batch of mead is ready, and we're serving mudcrab scrambles as the early meal. The fires are stoked, the kettles scrubbed, and the floors are swept and mopped. We-B-Open!

Goooooood Morning Tamriel!

Ah'vrie wishes you well. It is Fredas the 24th of Frostfall and thank the divines the weekend is nigh. It's a beautiful predawn with a chill in the air here on warm sands. The first crescents of the blessed moons were again visible last night, but they have set, the paths are closed, 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 Inspirazione a Venezia, and the biscuits are Ginger. Checking the hot sheets we have 51 new mods, Lots of jangle and outfits as always. Let's see what catches the eye over a fresh cuppa. Definitely a fresh cuppa.

ImABotBeepBoop released Dragons - True Ragdoll Physics
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/162505
"Enables proper ragdoll physics for Dragons! Allowing their bodies to roll over and around obstacles, rather than getting stuck on every little thing in their path."

Should work with all dragon overhauls, it's a simple tweak to the inertia setting. Thanks

ZackC99 released Simple Ysolda Tweaks
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/162565
"This mod lets Ysolda become the owner of the Bannered Mare if Hulda is killed, or Belethor's shop if he is killed."

The old cat thought that was a vanilla mechanic, but Okay. Thanks

MikoMuto released Blowing in the Wind Lite - Lights Out
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/162509
"Turns off lanterns during the day"

Lanterns of Skyrim already blows in the wind and has hours, but your game your way.

lets see valcaira released Eclipse Vampire Eyes
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/162572
Make that eye, it's a single texture. Thanks Nathanael

lSmoothl released Fixed Female Hand Size
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/162507
"Corrects the hand positions by restoring abnormally small, deformed female hands to their normal size."

Or just stop installing those stretched neck Japanese follower mods They have a thing for tiny hands and feet

yoshiki's renovation - Skaal Village Greathall
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/162503
"Immersive renovation for Skaal Village Greathall. I took particular care to respect the primitive communism aspect inherent in Skaal."

Your game your way. It reuses quite a few Dragonsreach kit pieces that really don't fit the Skaal. You know you're in trouble when immersive is in the description. Explain the elk head over Fanari's bed... Did they pay to import it for her LOL ;-)

We do have a mod of the day...

Chitin Bow SE by 4thUnknown
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/162526
" This modification will add a chitin bow and arrow to your game."

The old cat would have never thought of using bug parts for a bow. But it looks surprisingly good. This one gets a cookie.

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 Middas the 22nd of Frostfall and another quiet predawn here on warm sands. The blessed moons were new, and this one has little pity for the hunters headaches this morning. Some have been in their cups since Fredas. 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 Capetown Lungo, and the biscuits are chocolate chips. Checking the hot sheets we have 38 new mods today. A scant few caught the eye, so lets dive right in.

CyanEryth released Mass Perk Scaling as a first SSE mod. Welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/162372
This is actually a patch for Better Vanilla Perks that restores Novice, and adds a 6th rank to some skills. Thanks.

Nexhrafn released Juniper's Houses - NPC Overhaul Patches as a first mod. Welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/162352
"Patches for Juniper's Houses and the NPC replacer mods Bijin and Pandorable's AIO"

Well even waifus need to be able to find their beds LOL Thanks
The noob is strong in this one. They specify that load order doesn't matter

Blackspine18859 released Paralysis Cooldown
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/162367
"Provides a five minute immunity timer to actors who have been affected by paralysis."

What, so you can't stunlock and enemy while you pummel them. Darn it LOL

Lets get to the good stuff already

PuneumaSigne released Always with a foldable chair
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/162317
"Create and carry foldable chairs to sit anywhere. You can even sit with your followers. You can craft a foldable chair, carry it around, and set up it anywhere you like. There are two types of foldable chairs, both of which can be crafted at the Tanning Rack (1 Firewood + 2 Leathers, or 1 Firewood + 1 Sabre Cat Pelt)."

This is actually really well designed, and the word (Dare I say it) immersive comes to mind. This one gets a cookie, and the old cat is tracking for now.

Finally, Ask and the universe responds. This one is for Eternie

Warlord the power of the Golden Mask (Konahrik) by JamesTParker
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/162382
"This mod adds a long forgotten spirit to Bromjunaar Sanctuary. Everyone has forgotten who he is. Including himself, yet he still fulfills his purpose to serve the leader of the Dragon Priests. Once you gain the Golden Mask. Speak to him to gain the ability to summon a named Dragon Priest of your choice to fight for you once per day."

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 Tirdas the 21st of Frostfall and a peaceful predawn here on warm sands. The blessed moons are new tonight, and the hunters are making the most of it. This one hopes the goddess has a good rest. But for Ah'vrie it is time once again 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 still Miami espresso, and there are still plenty of fresh biscuits from yesterday, though Ah'vrie may bake some oatmeal sour cherry biscuits later. Checking the hot sheets we have 40 new mods, in the usual eclectic mix. Let's see what catches an old cat's eye over a fresh cuppa or two.

First we have an entry for the wall of shame...
Dungeon Interactable Visual Aid by xndrive. basically puts a spotlight on every switch lever and pull chain that uses vanilla references in a dungeon using Light Placer. No cookie for this one. If your dungeons are that dark, learn to play with a torch.

chris8889 released Make ShadowWarrior Great Again as a first mod. Welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/162241
"Reduce the cooldown time of the Shadow Warrior in the ORDperk no ESP" Your game your way, Thanks.

TinyDeath2 released The Tales of Att Manderson as a first mod. Welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/162312
"The tales of Att Manderson is a small mod pack that includes three unique quests. These quests tell the tale of a new mysterious man in Whiterun named Att Manderson. Follow Att through his misadventures and help him as he tries his best to show up on time to his mysterious date…" An ambitious first mod. A bit noobish, and the poor placement is obvious in the pics, but it looks like they had fun. Thanks

ElfiMyrtle returns with Plant This
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/162258
"Plant This lets you place plants anywhere in Skyrim using simple spells. The plants you add stay in the world for good; no resets, no disappearing. Build your own wilderness, decorate home and garden, or add life to any corner of Tamriel."

They recommend Jaxon's positioner, and it this case not a bad idea. Future plans include a 'farmers' version. Interesting idea, worth a read. Thanks

Rosehla returns with Quaint Solitude Docks
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/162287
"More northern solitude docks, mostly for local fishing and other watery goods. A manifest clerk and a shoreman watch/run the place, along with a mudcrab named Helps-Inspect. Two versions, one simpler, the other with the small East Empire dock building."

To be honest, the old cat likes this one. Rosehla does nice work. This seems more fitting to an old cat's eye than some of the other dock mods. Thanks. This one gets a cookie.

And finally we'll finish up with an unexpected mod of the day

Immersive Dungeon's Fire by kuroishitam
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/162277
"This is a simple mod that makes all fire sources inside Nordic dungeons uninhabited by living human NPCs start extinguished. To light the dungeon, you must ignite them yourself—either by interacting with the fire sources or casting fire spells. Enjoy!"

This is so much better than the automatic version yesterday. The old cat has played in blacked out dungeons before, and it really does change the game a lot. It's been a while since this one hunted Draugr in the dark aiming for the eyes. It's an acquired skill, but very immersive. The old cat may actually test this one. 2 cookies, and finally a reason to consider adding OIF ;-)

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!

It's Morndas the 20th of Frostfall and it's once again time for this sleepy old cat to tend the inn. The blessed moons are New tomorrow but will be invisible tonight as well. 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 will have to wait on the markets. This one needs to stock the pantry again. Checking the hot sheets we have 58 new in the usual eclectic mix. Let's see what catches the eye over a fresh cuppa.

A shout out to Simdrew1993 for several 'Link' mods. Have fun

NiteFromWindhelm dumped Oblivion Gates around Skyrim which appear active. Pass

dirigibalistic released Alternate Perspective - Elden Root Start. Thanks

Okay, let's dive in

salutjoujou released Lover Stone Enhanced as a first mod. Welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/162148
"Find the fourth stone among the three, choose the path of the lover, find the objects of love and learn that there are no boundaries for a true lover!"
This is a convoluted mess of objects with Op powers that make no sense. Thanks?

Czy2007 released True Throat of the World as their second mod.
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/146082
"This mod adds a very high summit for World Throat that can allow you overlook the sea of clouds below"

That you can't get to without a dwemer button because it's not actually part of the mountain? Your game your way... Thanks?

0beanZ0 released The Hidden Path To The Stables as their second.
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/162092
A short treasure hunt for a teleport spell to stables... If it makes you happy. Thanks

jasaj316 released Dawnguard Rune Hammer Delay Fix (SSE)
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/162174
"Makes the fire rune spell cast by the Dawnguard Rune Hammer occur upon initiating a bash instead of after a bash"

It basically makes the timing a little more fluid by editing the vanilla script. Thanks

Groe released Nords' Totemic Religion
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/162240
"One modder's small attempt at the restoration of Nordic culture" edits several dialogs so the NPC says Kyne instead of Kynereth via spliced voice files. Thanks

Speaking of dialog edis...

cavy8 released Immersive Dialogue Edit - Companions
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/162227
"Adjusts some companions-related dialogue for better immersion. Highly compatible." A very small number of edits using Dynamic dialog replacer. Check the sample videos. Thanks

redbeard913 released Skala starter home
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/162152
"adds a simple player home near Riverwood" That pile's getting deep. Thanks

Schlitzohr released Pargran
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/162118
"Adds a village to the west of Mzulft"

Along with peasants and a castle Not for old cats

Chooey's Beards of Power SMP Edit
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/162171
"Beards from KiraxSkyrim's SMP edit now selectable in RaceMenu" Thanks

Ivy Snowy Windhelm Walkway
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/162163
"A small Snowy Windhelm Walkway inspired by Capital Windhelm Expansion."

Captital Windhelm expansion has been very buggy. Ivy wanted the walkway and frozen waterwheel but not the problems. Thanks, this one's worth a look.

TheStealthArcher released Immersive Crafted Potion Names
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/162108
"Gives crafted multi-effect potions immersive, lore friendly names that change with potency using Auto Potion Renamer."

The old cat might test this one. The names look fairly interesting. Thanks

And finally, after all this time it was only fitting that kuroishitam got the top slot.

Mystical Dungeon's Fire
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/162094
"Have you ever wanted to enter a dungeon, find the fire inside extinguished, and then watch it magically ignite as you approach?"

I could see specific brazers coming to life as you approached, but candles? The old cat is on the fence with this one, but it's definitely more immersive than candles that never burn out, and at least the dungeons are dark when you start. It's all proximity based so they do go back out as you walk away. Interesting concept... needs polish.

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

Good Morning Tamriel!

Ah'vrie wishes you well. It is Sundas the 19th of Frostfall yada yada, and time to tend the inn

Deathstar3000 released Hero's Feast (Conjure Food) as their first mod. Welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/161931
"A mod that adds a spell that adds a variety of food to the player inventory."

But the foods don't have survival keywords? So a useless cheat? Thanks?

Bainos released ENB Nighteye Fix (ALPHA) as a first mod. Welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/161975
"Fixes ENB Night Eye spells by using SKSE plugin + ENB API to activate Phinix shader via hidden KNActive parameter instead of broken Params01. Supports Khajiit/Vampire/Werewolf spells."

Make sure to check the disclaimers. Only tested with Lorerim and your ENB might need patching, so Some assembly required, and needs testing, but thanks

mitzi self-ported The Convenient Room SE as their first SSE mod. Welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/161596
"This mod adds a room which you can enter/exit by the Teleport spell."

Basic crafting, safe storage and a bed you can access from anywhere. A nice reasonable cheat. Welcome back. Have a cookie

BeardedSultan released Lucien Flavius Teleport Spell Their first 'real' mod Welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/162071
"This mod adds a spell to teleport Lucien Flavius to your location, as there was no utility to do so in the base mod (I don't think so anyway). The spell will teleport him right in front of you, so keep that in mind when you use it. The spell will not be added to your inventory until you have recruited Lucien as a follower. The spell will be under Conjuration spells."

Because even good custom NPCs can get stuck. Thanks, you get a cookie as well

Lets see... Elzar125 released Archery Techniques (Additional Techniques NG)
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/161940
"A lightweight SKSE plugin that adds new archery abilities: fire multiple arrows at once, or charge up armor-piercing shots that go straight through enemies. Optional perk integration."

Channel your inner Legolas. A bit OP but configurable in the INI file. The old cat is tracking this one. Needs testing in game. Looks like fun

ItMeNey released Ore Vein Texture Fix - Fixed
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/161947
"Fixes ore veins so they don't abruptly change textures after being mined"

Would be very load order and re-texture dependent, but thanks

StoneSpiralGaming released Medieval Markets Animated. Thanks

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/161722
"This mod adds 6 new bread models. No ESP"

We'll finish up with Nature of the Wild Lands - Nordic Cut by Laminin
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/161936

And looks quite nice at that. Thanks, have a cookie.

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

I sort of blew off the old cat this morning. I didn't sleep too well and I'm in the mood to start a new game. So without further ado...

Skyrim Folks Visit by neinbach
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/161834
"Enable local NPCs to visit any interior location and many exterior locations in a semi-random highly customizable way. Get NPCs to visit places added by mods to bring them to life!"

Basically if you have added places like ItsIvy's windmill apothecary to riverwood, you can flag the locals to shop there. Could be useful, definitely immersive, but it's also very nitch. Thanks

The Forsworn Conspiracy - Quest Expansion by anbeegod
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/161913
"Greatly expanded the Forsworn Conspiracy questline to give new choices, new roleplaying opportunities, new epic stories. Over 200 new lines." All AI voiced of course, but dove most of their mods are written very well. Thanks

And we do have a worthy mod of the day...

Dovah Rider Carriage - Reborn by Her515 - LvxMagick
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/159566
"Dovah Rider Carriage – Reborn transforms Skyrim’s travel by letting you drive your own horse-drawn carriage anywhere. Stop to camp, bring followers, haul gear, and enjoy immersive road trips instead of fast travel. Drive the carriage, or allow skyrim Ai system to take the controls with Auto-Pilot. Choose from over 100 destinations to ride to & drive your carriage the way Bethesda would've wanted it to be."

That will do it. Time for a fresh cuppa, and some food. Gaming is hard work, I need to keep my strength up LOL.

Goooooood Morning Tamriel!

Ah'vrie wishes you well. It is Fredas the 17th of Frostfall and thank the divines, the weekend is nigh. It's a very quiet predawn 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 Inspirazione a Napoli, and the biscuits are classic chocolate chip. This one needs to get back into baking ;-) Checking the hot sheets we have 36 new from the usual eclectic sources. Let's see what catches an old cat's eye over a fresh cuppa.

mcovel01 released Connections between Folkstead - Nyhus - and Beyond Skyrim - Bruma
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/161814
"Adds doors and paths to connect the BS:Bruma worldspace to the new areas added by JoopvanDie's Nyhus and Folkstead mods. Allows more immersive travel across Tamriel."

Because nothing is as immersive as a wall with a door in the middle of nowhere ;-) If it makes you happy. Thanks. It's their second mod, both are doors to new areas. The old cat is not poking.

JamesTParker released I am not a slow walker
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/161784
"This mod increases the player's walking speed to be the same as other NPCs... This is a remake of my very first mod. And it actually works as advertised this time. As I am a much better modder then I was 6 years ago"

Ah'vrie would say another for the pile, but it's already there. If it works as advertised this time, it would be worth updating. Downloaded. Thanks, have a cookie

JerryYOJ released Training Alchemy Learns Effects
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/161802
"Trainer Shares Secrets: When you pay a Alchemist for training, the session is more than just skill points. Your trainer now shares their wisdom, granting you a chance to discover some effects of ingredients you currently possess. The trainer's knowledge bridges the gap between the ingredient and your understanding of its potential."

You'll want to read the mod page, as the percentage values can be edited in the INI file. This is arguably the most immersive mod the old cat has seen in ages. Bravo, 2 cookies

Elzar125 released Recoil On Objects NG
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/161765
"A small SKSE Plugin which makes the player and NPCs recoil when they hit objects. Based on Recoil On Objects by doodlum, now built for the latest AE version with NG support. Moving objects, destructible items, and training dummies won't trigger this recoil mechanic."

Find yourself punching walls much? This mods for you ;-) Thanks

tcbflash released Bitter Nights
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/161815
"A little more stress added to wandering at night. Effects similar to what vampires experience in the sun, now humans have a reason to fear the night!"

Basically reduces recovery by 60% at night, with a 30 point debuff. Not for old cat's but if it makes you happy... or nervous. Thanks

Evander98 released Dragon Soul Acquired Sound
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/161732
"Changes the sound when you absorb dragon souls to a magical whoosh followed by heavy breathing"

This is actually a patch for Edmond's Cinematic Dragon Soul Absorption Remastered ESL. Which is required. Because of the added heavy breathing there are male and female versions. Unfortunately no sample to hear, but thanks.

Lets see... Cthelo released Sassy Salt and Wind - Pandorable's Patches
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/161753
"The best hair retexture on the nexus just dropped, so I figured I should patch the NPC replacers that I use" Thanks for sharing, have a cookie.

We'll finish up with a little eye candy...

llLilyll released GoS - Serana High Poly RaceMenu Preset
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/161813
"Serana Face Preset - GoS"

You too can now play as a teenage vamp ;-) Make sure to read the requirements. Honestly, I think the old cat prefers this as a preset than as a replacer. Or you can use both and pretend to be her twin sister... Whatever makes you happy. 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!
