Coffee with an old Khajiit

Gooooood Morning Tamriel!

Ah'vrie wishes you well. It is Sundas the 24th of Second Seed and a pleasant dawn 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 Miami Espresso, and the biscuits are fudge brownie cookies. Checking the hot sheets we have 40 new mods in the usual mix. Not much catches the eye today.

kum0ko released Ekstase I - 3BA BodySlide Preset as a first mod. Welcome (NSFW)
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/180797
Shape's not bad. Nipples are weird... Thanks

Grendel116 released Simple Vanilla Bodies (for Obody)
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/180806
"OBody presets for natural body variety in Skyrim, emulating the character range found in later Bethesda titles"

You have to admire the pure simplicity of this, you really do. This one gets a cookie

And finally Jewelry Restricts Stealth tcbflash
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/180773
"Jewelry, being shiny and clanky, restricts (penalizes) your stealth (Sneak) ability"

Suggested by Rogueshot, in four versions from 5 to 20% per item warn.
So now you have a reason to tell your tank/healer waifu to get naked and crawl... What?

And that really will do for today, the fires are stoked, the kettles scrubbed and the floors

Gooooooood morning Tamriel!

Ah'vrie wishes you well. It is Morndas the 25th of Second Seed, and a quiet morning here on warm sands. The blessed moons have long 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...

Our brew of the day is Kahawa ya Congo, and the biscuits are snickerdoodles. Checking the hot sheets we have 70 new mods in the usual eclectic mix of jangles, patches, and pointy sticks. Let's see what catches an old cat's eye over a fresh cuppa or three.

We'll start off with a peek under the hood.

PreeminentMethEffigy released Crafting Skill Overhaul Updated as their first mod. Welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/180707
"SKSE plugin that reworks the amount of experience rewarded by using the crafting skills Alchemy, Blacksmithing and Enchanting. A rewrite of meh321's Crafting Skill Leveling Overhaul for 1.6.1170."

Obviously needs testing in game. and there's a lot of info on the page to read. And honestly the old cat is never comfy with a .DLL as a first mod. Grain of salt, but thanks.

TechAngel85 released Quartermaster - A Crafting and Sorting System
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/180327
"Quartermaster is a set of scripts that enables an automatic sorting system and containers linked to crafting stations. Incorporate into mods, like player homes."

This is a modders resource, and the logical successor to General stores, and it takes a different approach to crafting from linked containers. There's a lot to read. Thanks

RyokohMods released Noble Table Replacer
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/180864
"A high quality replacer for the noble table"

Sorry the old cat has to poke... this is pretty, and possibly the dumbest design... ever. No carpenter with more than one working brain cell is going to laminate and iron band 4 tabletops of increasing size, and stack them to form a tabletop. So of course the word immersive had to make it into the description. Not for old carpenter cats

whorrorr ported two more "The Early Years" mods today
https://www.nexusmods.com/profile/whorr ... ameId=1704
Marble Dwemer ruins, and snow leopard female foresworn armor. Thanks

And finally rotundrobert released No Floating Mountain Fogs
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/180903
"Removes the puffs of cloud floating around mountains"

This one has obviously never seen real snowcapped mountains. Thye make their own weather. It would look wrong without the clouds, but 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!

Goooooooood Morning Tamriel!

Ah'vrie wishes you well. It is Tirdas the 26th of Second Seed, and 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 Capetown Lungo, and the biscuits are chocolate chip. Checking the hot sheets we have 49 new mods in the usual eclectic mix. Let's see what catches an old cat's eye over a fresh cuppa or two.

A shoutout to euTHEgusta for Azurite Visions - CS Preset
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/180934
Too many requirements for this old cat, but thanks

R4tional released Riverwood Mysterious Cellar as a first mod. Welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/180943
"Who could be the owner of this depraved cellar?"

Utterly pointless, but thanks LOL

guowei0ai released ClearUnderWater
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/180906
"This mod makes the water clearer and provides sharper underwater vision"

Thanks? most water mods have patches for that already, and the water mod was not listed, though it looks like water for ENB, which definitely already has clear water patches.

xYZeroYx released How many days passed
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/180059
"Lets you see how many days was passed, survived or both, can be displayed automatic, after an amount of days or with a input press "

Of course that info is already in your journal, but if it makes you happy...

ZxUxBxExR released Fauna Loot Fixes
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/180895
"Makes animal and creature loot more consistent and immersive"

Because the pile wasn't deep enough... thanks

Lets see... AmyrSkadi released Nordwar Stalhrim Armor Replacer 3BA Bodyslides
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/180968
" I got permission to make CBBE 3BA bodyslides for their great mod. So I'm sharing them with everyone to enjoy."

Thanks, The community appreciates it.

And finally, not exactly mod of the day material

ICFur released Enhanced Vanilla Clovers
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/180917
"Vanilla based texture replacement for clovers with a new more 3D mesh"

Clovers have 3 leaves not 5... 4 is considered rare and lucky remember. Just saying. Even Vanilla screwed that up. Those aren't clovers LOL.

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!
