Modding on the Spectrum
Ah'vrie wishes you well. It is Fredas the 27th of Sun's Dawn, and thank the divines the weekend is nigh. It's a quiet morning on warm sands, and 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 from India, and the biscuits are double chocolate chunk. 'Yum!' Tate's came out with a new cookie. Checking the hot sheets there were 36 new mods today in the usual eclectic mix. Let's see what catches an old cat's eye over a fresh cuppa or two

Ah'vrie has to admit some of the choices are really nice. Worth a look, and there's quite a few already. It's nice that you can pick and choose outfits. Have a cookie
206548625 released Darken the mountain clouds as a first SSE mod. Welcome (2nd really)
Darken the mountain clouds

The old cat has this issue, but it is also effected by ENB. The night pics look good, the daylight pic looks... dusty, dirty, beige to an old cat's eye. Would need testing with your lighting and cloud mods. This mod functions by replacing the Nifs. Grain of salt, but the authors been around a while. The old cat may test this. Downloaded

Have a cookie, pretty plantKhagiit released Survival Mode Refined
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/173440
"A collection of tweaks for Skyrim Survival Mode."
Color an old cat impressed... Not a bad set of tweaks, and Ah'vrie likes having the choice of reduced damage, or no damage. And you can edit the amount. Well conceived. Thanks
This one gets a cookie ... their first.
And that brings us to our mod of the day. And we have one, if you celebrate less is more.
The old cat does.
Aetherial Dawn - A Quick Start Overhaul by Stefan2102
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/173518
"Skip the lengthy Helgen intro and begin your journey at the inn or dock of your choice. Upon starting a new game, you spawn in a custom Ayleid-themed cell to prepare your character before entering the world."
This mod is eloquent in it's simplicity. You do your chargen in a pretty cell with basic starting gear to choose from, then your prompted for 'who you left the cave with' then you exit through the door after picking your gear to appear at any inn or dock. Your choice of who you leave the cave with is standing at the cave waiting. Script conditions are met. You don't have to be afraid of getting too close to Helgen. You also have the option of starting as a vampire or werewolf. Already patched for lux, and why I came to Skyrim.
The old cat finds beauty in the simplicity of it's execution. 2 cookies. Downloaded for testing.
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!
