Modding on the Spectrum

Goooooooood morning Tamriel!

Ah'vrie wishes you well. It is Loredas the 21st of First Seed and wage slaves rejoice, the weekend has arrived. It's a peaceful morning here on warm sands. The blessed moons have long set, and it is once again time for Ah'vrie to tend the inn for our most honored guests. Excuse please while the ash pits are emptied, the vents cleaned, and the fires rebuilt. Ah'vrie always likes to start the weekend with happy fires, and a happy fire needs to breathe. Now to put fresh water to the flame, and finish the chores...

Our brew of the day is Miami Espresso, (Thank the divines, this one was so tired of slumming with Starbucks) and the biscuits are Tate's ginger zingers, a perfect pairing. Checking the hot sheets we have 49 new mods, in the usual eclectic mix of jangles, patches, and pointy sticks. Let's see what catches an old cat's eye that doesn't require antigravity bra technology

thesherifflemon released Skyborn - Standing Stones as their first mod. Welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/174912
"Skyborn - Standing Stones is a complete overhaul of the Standing Stones."

Another for the pile, OP like most, but the old cat does really like the work they put into the descriptions. Very nicely done, and worth a look. A shame they're so OP. Thanks

SomaCovington hit us with three first mods today. Welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/profile/SomaCovington/mods?gameId=1704
Silver weapons, fishing, and armor tweaks. Thanks.

suspiciousp released Hearthfire - Furnish Homesteads with Gold
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/175154
Actually it's an edited version of Build your Hearthfire Homstead's with Gold by Santala. The key difference is it's only for the furnishings. You still have to build the actual houses. Very well conceived Just enough grind the make the house yours. The buy the furniture... Nice. This one gets a cookie. It's a happy middle ground. Thanks

Aardvark1998 returns with Grass Enrichment Project
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/175168
"A natural-looking grass mod which adds flowers and new grass types alongside Skyrim's original grasses..."

The forth in the series after a couple of years absence, Welcome back. Not really thrilled, but it might be the images. Blah desaturated ENB with DOF left enabled in most of the shots... Keep working at your craft, and have someone else take the pics LOL Thanks

hyruledm released Hagraven Restyled
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/174304
"Never liked vanilla hagraven and wanted something resembling more a bird than an old hag cosplaying as one with feathered armlets."

Mixed feelings on this one... 2 cookie concept, and eye bleach execution. The faces are pretty cool though. Thanks, but pass

Let's get to the good stuff...

Tofetsky released Ciri Trailer Armor
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/174072
"Standalone armor inspired by Ciri's appearance in the Witcher trailer. Designed for female characters and styled to match the Skyrim aesthetic"

Oh, now this is just a beautiful mashup/outfit. The old cat could see this for any female toon thief. (Well... That's already got the skills obviously, it's a very rich looking outfit) Instant download to endorse for this old cat. Definitely cookie worthy

Wammy's Demon Eyes - UBE
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/175001
"31 Colors. 3 sizes. Normal and Glow. Humans Elves and Orcs"

The old cat prefers some of these to TEOB - Vampire collection. Worth a look even if you don't play a succubus. Ah'vrie might download them just to edit Serana's eyes. I bet she's look great in mildly glowing violet ;-) Thanks have another cookie. Love the colors.

And finally, Our mod of the day might just be the answer to the old cat's follower / housecarl outfit issue... This is very advanced and doesn't require a follower framework.

Follower Equip Control by iRonoa and it's their first mod? Oookay. A hearty welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/175124
"Equip followers directly through the trade menu without workarounds, and use the trade menu as a real follower management tool. Equip weapons, armor, ammo, torches, and scrolls; make followers use consumables and poisons; teach spells from tomes; recharge enchanted weapons; and prevent the game from overriding your equipment choices."

The UI and menus look really well thought out. SKSE menu framework is recommended but not required. the video shows a lot. Downloaded for testing. and 2 cookies.
'This is a first mod?' Color and old cat very impressed.

And that will do for today. The new casks of ale were delivered on time, Ah'vrie's latest batch of Juniper mead is ready, and were serving mudcrab scrambles for the early meal. This one will plan the late meal after seeing what's fresh at the martrkets a little later. 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 Fredas and thank the divines the weekend is nigh. It's a very quiet predawen here on warm sands, the blessed moons have set and it's 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...

Brew of the day is still Starbucks, new coffee shipment should be here tomorrow. Biscuits are Tate's new double Chocolate chunk... and they're effin evil YUM! Checking the hot sheets we have 49 new, and a couple caught the eye. Let's dive right in.

MxFelineJaye released Speech Perk Tree Revised as a first mod. Welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/175121
"A simple reorganisation of the vanilla Speech perk tree"

Interesting, allows paths that favor the merchant/investor/fence and lowers the requirements. it also lets separates the persuasion and intimidation perks. Your game your way. Thanks

rijosan released Action Hotkeys
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/175045
"A visual hotkey launcher overlay for Skyrim SE/AE"

Now this is inventive... not immersive, but inventive. A pop up overlay that allows you to program up to 60 dedicated hot keys. Needs testing, but this could solve a crap load of issues, like Jaxson's positioner coexisting with other mods... there's a first. Have a cookie

ParticleTroned released Lights Conflict Resolver
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/175086
"Standalone Lights Conflict Resolver (MO2 tool, Vortex support will be added as well). Detects overlapping Placed Lights and/or Particle Lights entries to prevent double lighting. Review placements and code, decide how conflicts should be handled, and export a patch mod - all within one single,clear UI."

Much too early for old cats. Definitely needs testing. allows you to edit overlapping light sources as an app that runs inside MO2? More coffee and much reading needed. Tracking

And finally we have Dawnfire NAT3 ENB - Reborn by mechanicalpanda
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/175076
"A complete official rework from scratch of my previous Dawnfire NAT3 ENB. Elegant thoughtful design, natural and softly cinematic. Purely for a pleasant gameplay experience."

Nice color saturation and palette, a bit over sharpened, which I'm guessing Panda equates with cinematic. Unfortunately it's also been 'Kitsuunefied' and requires all that baggage. Hard pass for old cats, but looks decent.

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!

Goooooooood Morning Tamriel!

Ah'vrie wishes you well. It is Turdas the 19th of First Seed, and a brisk morning here on warm sands. This one apologizes for being tardy. My pet smoothskin was lost to another universe for a time. He's better now. ;-) Excuse please while the fires are stoked, and fresh water is put to the flame...

The new coffee shipment has been ordered thank the divines. This one is looking forward to better brews for the weekend. The biscuits are lemon. Checking the hot sheets we had 35 new mods from the usual eclectic sources. Lets see what caught an old cat's eye over a fresh cuppa. (Not much ;-)

jknjb self ported Tavern Fights
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/174992
"The Dragonborn walks into a bar... and sees two angry, brawling drunks are trying to beat the snot out of each other. Just another night in Skyrim."

Your game your way, every blue moon would be interesting. Every time you enter a vanilla inn after 6PM? ... Pass ;-)

Wondernutts released Fertility Mode Reloaded-Immersive Effects
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/175032
"Adds physical pregnancy effects to Fertility Mode Reloaded for pregnant players. Morning sickness, fetal kicks, Braxton-Hicks contractions, cravings, lactation, dynamic body overlays with stretchmarks and areola changes. Effects scale across trimesters and fade during recovery. Works with SexLab, OStim, Milk Mod Economy."

If there are limits to realism, no one told the mod authors LOL. If you're playing a pregnant dragonborn this will certainly make it worse. Ah... better? Have a pickle with your ice cream

WeatherPainterAshelia released Picta - ENB Game Tweaks
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/174974
"Tweaks various Game Settings and INI Settings to ensure ENBSeries and ENB Presets work as intended." Some of these settings are very useful, others are based on taste and questionable. Definitely worth a look, and if you're new to ENB, cookie worthy. Thanks

And for our mod of the day...

Depths of Skyrim - Mesh fixes by Gobsnek
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/174995
"Fixes all the broken seaweed and plant meshes for Depths of Skyrim, removing overlapping geometry and preventing flickering during sunny weathers for ENB & Community shaders. Performance should also be improved."

Upscaled textures offered as an option as well. Small, and mostly unnoticed, abut a definite improvement. Thanks.

And that's it 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 Middas the 18th of First Seed, and a 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 boil...

The brew of the month is Starbucks (don't ask) but the biscuits are Tate's oatmeal raisin, and they are crispy and quite yummy. Checking the hot sheets we have 37 new, so let's dive in while the coffee is still hot.

ArgynNanrivia released Spatial Pocket Spells - AddItemMenu NG as their first. Welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/174967
"Guys, I don't understand why Additemmenu NG was removed. The latest version on Nexus is incompatible with newer versions of Skyrim. So, I'm reposting the NG version from Nexus and have slightly changed the mod's text. It's now called "Spatial Pocket.""

Interesting, grain of salt, needs testing, and they're correct Additemmenu NG is not there. However, this is uploaded without permission so can't really recommend

AlhimikPh released two more
https://www.nexusmods.com/profile/AlhimikPh/mods?gameId=1704
ESP search pro, and Enchantment effect distributor. Too early for old cats, and of questionable value. Worth a look

SignorZuk released HIMBO Bodyhair Overlays ODF
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/174953
"A race-aware ODF distribution for HIMBO V3 Bodyhair Overlays for Racemenu that gives the hairy barbarian energy where it belongs and keeps the elegant smoothness where it makes sense."

Basically this is a refined distribution of Kreiste and Elwari's mod using ODF. make sure to read the requirements. This is immersive, have a cookie.

peeking under the hood we have Particle Wind - SKSE Plugin by RavenKZP
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/174812
"Particle Wind makes all particle effects in the game react to wind speed and direction, increasing realism and immersion."

double edged immersion here... looks great but begs the question of why the candles didn't blow out... Great concept, but in this case reality breaks the immersion, it doesn't add to it. Your game your way. Love the idea.

4thUnknown released Bloodskal SE
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/174927
"Bloodskal blade redisign (no .esp)"

three versions, and to be honest the old cat likes version one. However none of these will match the diagram in Cretious' journal. Tough call. Thanks

And finally, diverse regular bread by JET654
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/174925
"These are the various breads I made. They’re very detailed. The texture is only 512, but the result looks great."

This is mod of the day for a reason. Potato friendly textures that really look good. This one gets two sweet rolls and a coffee. 512k textures that look better than a lot of the 4k models of late. Definitely worth a look even if you don't have a potato. Beautiful work.

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!

Goooooooood morning Tamriel!

Ah'vrie wishes you well. It is Tirdas the 17th of First Seed, and a chilly predawn here on warm sands. The blessed moons have set and it is once again time to tend the inn. Excuse please while the fires are stoked, and fresh water is put to the flame...

We're still slumming with Starbuck's espresso but it will have to do for now, However, Ah'vrie is thrilled to report Tate's has released three new gluten free biscuits (small happy dance) and todays flavor is double chocolate chunk. Checking the hot sheets we have 40 new mods in the usual eclectic mix. Let's see what catches the eye of an old cat this day.

Dominicgraham1994 is still making modder resource statues
https://www.nexusmods.com/profile/Dominicgraham1994/mods?gameId=1704

ashleyclark released Shadow Spire SSE
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/174886
Teleport to a noobish treasure house intended for a magic user. Your game your way. Thanks

Rosehla returns with Quaint Forest Home
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/174899
Great location, perfect level of clutter for a starter camp. Not thrilled with the blighted vine in the middle of the room, and it's a bit close to the dead alchemist's camp, but definitely worth a look. Thanks

FlyJeremy released Handy Decoration Dragon Bridge-Four Shields Tavern
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/174865
The name says it all. Nice touch to create an actual 4 shield display, and then have each shield represent a different room. turning the bar into a merchant stall? Pass on that.

DoubleOTWD released Talent Skills (For Proteus)
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/174860
Lets you edit character stats for multiple 'player' characters in one world. Nice, thanks

TalesOfKnighty1815 released Another AddItem Mod - 2026
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/174871
"A clean, fast in-game item browser, adder, and character booster for Skyrim SE/AE"

Requires the SKSE Menu Framework, with scope creep. lets you edit your character stats, add perk points and dragon souls, set skill levels... Add item menu it isn't, but it does that as well. Basically a full on cheat engine. The name is misleading. Thanks

tcbflash released Acquired Aspect (Dynamic Dragon Resistance)
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/174889
"Build dragon resistance based on how many dragon souls you've absorbed. 5 options, with maximum resistances of 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, or 50%"

Shiny! a new mechanic ... The more dragons you kill, the more resistant to their shouts and breath. This one gets a cookie, That's a wonderful concept for character growth.

Syvric released Myrkbough - Environmental Refinement (WIP)
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/174885
"A subtle refinement that corrects environmental clipping by repositioning flora and trees away from rocks and structures."

Ah, that's not a mod, it's a career choice LOL. Hopefully they understand that mods that hand place new trees, and different rock/mountain/landscape mod choices mean there will never be a definitive version of this mod. There will be several final versions. Thanks

And finally, this is the old cat's personal choice for Mod of the day. And he even made a request of the author, yes he did... Valdacil returns.

Valdacil's SunHelm SkyPatcher
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/174900
"Uses SkyPatcher to add SunHelm keywords to ingestible items from various mods"

Ah'vrie asked Val to include Hunterborn soups and stews. No idea how many mods will eventually be covered. Val started with 15 mods. This is worthy. 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 Morndas the 16th of First Seed. Hide if you can or work if you must, it's Morndas again. It's a quiet 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 flames...

Brew is still Starbucks, and no biscuits this morning... Shaman's orders. 42 new mods, not much catches the eye, but let's dive in anyway.

This one never really bothers with pointy sticks, but beauty needs to be acknowledged

Emerald Dawn - Dagger by volkateq
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/174788
"Emerald Dawn is an elven Dagger. Mod is an ESP flagged as an ESL"

Nothing about this is Elven, ignore that. Rosewood handle, Bronze pommel, hilt and inlays. It looks perfectly balanced. This is a dagger the old cat would pay real money for in real life. It demands a tooled leather scabbard. 2 cookie work and an obvious labor of love. 1k ~ 4k

wheelabout released Origins Reborn
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/174595
"Origins Reborn is a modular character creation environment framework that provides immersive creation chambers, integrated character setup tools, and compatibility for multiple alternate start systems."

4 of their 6 mods are 'reborn' Ah'vrie wonders if this one ever fought a dragon LOL

patchulidev released Modex Lite - SKSE Menu Framework Addon
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/174813
"An SKSE Menu Framework Addon that leverages the new Modex v2.1.0+ API to deliver similar features tailored toward more casual audiences"

The original Modex was intended as a replacement for add item menu. Ah'vrie can not make heads or tails of what this version actually does. Much too early

tonycubed2 released Control Map for 1170 - year 2026
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/174841
Tony did an interesting thing... Unbound all of the function and number keys from the game, or as he put it "safe for mods" Unfortunately that is a double edge sword. You will not be able to access certain imbedded functions like SkyUI favored weapon groups... etc.

Make sure to read the mod page, and know what you're installing. grain of salt on this one

unyro released Skyrim Alchemy Calculator
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/174845
"A browser-based alchemy calculator for Skyrim that reads inventory screenshots, matches ingredients from the base game and official DLC, and shows the best craftable potions based on your current stock."

This one probably uses AI to choose his clothes And of course, if you use any inventory sorting mods this will not work. Ah'vrie won't poke too hard. Not everyone likes the alchemy system. This can turn your obsession with collecting everything harvestable into septims you have no where to spend... perfekt

TTacM released Spell Charging Enhanced
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/174809
"Spell Charging Enhanced is a redesigned version of Spell Charging Framework that overhauls how spell charging works, removing the magic skill influence and adding new options for precise balancing."

Nothing game breaking here... Basically lets you set chare time. This one is sure it was intended to add charge time (countdown timer is a giveaway) But you can also set this for a 1 second charge, which is how a certain jaded old cat expects it to be used LOL

Well there is one mod today that was worthy of note. Not exactly a mod of the day, but in this case it really is the mod of the day LOL

A Leek Plant by Kiddgimmick
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/174807
"Mesh and texture replacer for the vanilla leek plant and leek inventory item. Includes wind animation on the plant model. Optional patch included for First Person Interactions."

Lets see, the leaves are not quite dark enough, and the veins could be slightly more pronounced, but far superior to vanilla. Not really thrilled with the grilled model, but definitely worth a look... if not a salad

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 15th of First Seed, and a beautiful morning here on warm sands. Excuse please while this one tends the inn for our most honored guests... Our brew of the day is Columbian, and the biscuits are fudge brownie cookies.

Checking the hot sheets we have 42 new from the usual eclectic sources. Let dive in...

Arrabian released Trails - Unofficial
No link needed, they released a note to say they couldn't release the mod for licensing reasons... Thanks for sharing an incomplete mod you have to build yourself

aaofyi released Vault 106
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/174779
"Vault 106 is a Dwemer town built into the side of a mountain near Markarth. Visit this repopulated Dwarven settlement and have some Nuka-Mead." No thanks, but thanks

EmperorChubbsI released Vampire Stuff as Dawnguard SE
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/174742
"Allows you to get the Blood Rings and Power Amulets regardless if you choose the Vampires or not" Okay... Why? LOL Thanks?

mkcf13 released Svaknir's Garb - A bard oriented clothing addon
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/174739
"A mod that adds a clothing made for Bards that gets more powerful if you have the instruments in your inventory." Not going to poke, it's a nice idea. A bit OP but thanks

Dominicgraham1994 released two more statues as modders resources
https://www.nexusmods.com/profile/Dominicgraham1994/mods?gameId=1704
Arkay, and Stuhn are the flavors of the day. Thanks

littlefot released Snowfy Shalidor's Maze
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/174706
"This mod covers the entire Shalidor's Maze with a blanket of snow."

Shovels not included LOL, It makes sense but seeing as your transported to the maze by a portal, there's no reason it can't be in another part of the map. That being said, it does make sense if you assume the maze is close to the city.

And finally... More Light in Dibellan Baths by hyruledm
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/174757
adds a few more candles, a couple of braziers to the 'light' version of ak0d's mod. The old cat loves the baths, but his are not quite that dark... then again I haven't been there in this rebuild so tracking.

And that's it folks No mod of the day 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 Loredas the 14th of First Seed and a peaceful dawn here on warm sands. The blessed moons have set and it is long past time for this one to tend the inn. Excuse please while the ash pits are emptied and the fires rebuilt. Ah'vrie always likes to start off the weekend with happy fires, and a happy fire needs to breathe. YOU may wat to cover your tankards for a bit, this can get a tad dusty... There, much better no?

Our brew of the day is still Starbucks, the old cat will hopefully get his new shipment of coffee shortly, until then Starbucks will do. Checking the hot sheets we have 48 new, and some don't have a cup size believe it or not. Let's dive right in over a fresh cuppa.

Arka9d is still pumping out MO2 plugins. NPC, and drawcall analyzers today
https://www.nexusmods.com/profile/Arka9d/mods?gameId=1704
Same caveat as yesterday... needs testing

Blackenergy666 released a second amulets mod, but less obscenely OP
Vanilla Plus Divine Amulets
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/174616
Thanks, but still make little sense vs. the vanilla amulets. IE: Arkay buffing magic? PASS

PSBoss finally put out an all in one for his standing stones, and fixed a few things.
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/174543
Finally a version without those idiotic 'department store window' Stars LOL. Still ridiculous, but definitely better.

Sigerious released SIGMA - Archery animations - 1st person
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/174649
"Different animations for sneaking, dodging animations, everything included, as always."

A little 'bouncy' But definitely worth a look. Thanks.

And we'll finish up with Rahgot's Staff by Ave
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/143799
"Replacers Rahgot's unique Dragonpriest Staff with a new model with animations"

The old cat has never been in the 'orbiting balls' camp, but this is pure AveBrave. Definitely a worthy addition to the collection... She's back!

And that will do for today. The ale is fresh, the new batch of mead is ready, a we're serving mudcrab scrambles for the early meal. Ah'vrie will plan the late meal after he sees what's fresh at the markets. Have a seat and the wenches will serve you. We-B-Open!

Goooooooood Morning Tamriel!

Ah'vrie wishes you well. It is Fredas the 13th and thank the divines the weekend is nigh. It is a beautiful crisp 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 Starbucks espresso, and the biscuits are chocolate chunk. Checking the hot sheets we have 37 new in the usual eclectic mix of jangles, patches, and pointy sticks. Let's see what catches the eye of an old cat over a fresh cuppa.

Arka9d released three 'Ultimate analyzers' for MO2.
https://www.nexusmods.com/profile/Arka9d/mods?gameId=1704
Grain of salt and needs testing. This author has only done Russian translations before. This one smells of AI coding. No pictures of the plugins or results. They look useful, needs testing

Skyking Nordic Ruins Murals - Complex Parallax
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/174573
"All new 1k, 2k, and 4k complex parallax textures for the Nordic Ruins murals"

Hard to tell any difference at all. These look good, but any improvement is hard to see.

HamsterSensei12 released Kralyks' Strongbox Replacer - BOS version
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/174580
"Replaces 50% of strongboxes with Kralyks' lovely model using Base Object Swapper"

Pretty, and we do love variation, only in a world where even the lowliest thug has a sword or axe, calling a wooden box "strong" is a bit moronic LOL. Looks more like a bread box.

rhonjhonson ported Khajiit Is Any Color SE by Xx Fluffycloud xX
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/174559
""Khajiit Is Any Color" is a Skyrim Legendary Edition mod requiring RaceMenu and SKSE. It adds 52 optional warpaints (for the face) and a solid colored female Khajiit texture for the player. NPCs are unaffected. It is compatible with K.C.C.E Khajiit Character Creation Extended by Volno and Viking Cat Khajiit by DracoWarrior729."

Ah'vrie remembers this from oldrim, and is surprised it was not already ported. Thanks

we'll finish up with Silverstone Refuge -- Markarth Apartment Player Home by aureoy
https://www.nexusmods.com/profile/aureoy/mods?gameId=1704
"A small cozy starter home in Markarth"

Lets see... the entry door is in a great location, could have used a single step... Lets just say the mash up of kit pieces is noticeable if you look. Could have been better. The interior is beautiful but way too much useless clutter... A cart of hay in the hallway level of useless. Elianora they ain't. That being said, The layout is nice and it's a great location. A few minutes walking around disabling 'crap' and you've got a nice starter home in the city.

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!

Goooooooood Morning Tamriel!

Ah'vrie wishes you well. It is Turdas the 12th of First Seed And this tired old cat has to see the Shaman today, so only a small sip of the nectar of the divines until I return, and no biscuits before the blood letting? This is not healing, it's simply asserting their position of authority. Maybe just a small cuppa... 42 new mods and a few caught the eye.

skyram7 released Realistic Running Speed - Natural Movement
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/174435
"A movement tweak that creates a more natural and immersive exploration experience."

Interesting take on the mechanic. Faster walking, but slightly slower running with less abrupt transitions. Needs testing, but this could be the final link in a walking game. And we'll forgive the AI artwork. It's not bad LOL Worth the read. DLed for testing

Acook1e released Inflation Framework NG
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/174493
"a fast and reliable SKSE plugin designed to handle dynamic node scaling (inflation and deflation) in real-time"

This one guesses a patch for the new fertility mode mod will come shortly. Thanks

let's see... Scarabim is building a Khajiit harem. 4 presets today
https://www.nexusmods.com/profile/Scarabim/mods?gameId=1704

LeoneKingzz released Sleep And Gain Perk Points At Skill Thresholds
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/174500
"Simple mod that awards perk points at after reaching 3 distinct levels in a skill. Default set to 50, 75, and 100. Meant to be compatible with Sleep to Gain XP"
