Modding on the SpectrumGooooooood Morning Tamriel!
Ah'vrie wishes you well. It is Sundas the 12th of Sun's Dusk and another quiet predawn at the inn. The blessed moons have set, the paths are closed, and it is once again time for Ah'vrie to tend the inn for our most honored guests. Excuse please while the fires are stoked and fresh water is put to the boil.
Our brew of the day is Cape Town Lungo, and the biscuits are Verona. Checking the hot sheets we have 62 new with lots of jiggles, patches and cheats as always. Let's see what catches the eye of an old cat this morning over a fresh cuppa... Make it a double.
Crantus released two in the last 2 days. Their first slipped through the cracks. Welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... user+files
The first adds AE and Hearthfires items to QASmoke, the second an autosort chest to the dwemer storage cube. Enjoy and thanks
Let's move straight to the good stuff...
Forgotten Clutter Overhaul by AndrealphusVIII
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/104471
"This mod gives a purpose to a lot of otherwise useless and forgotten clutter."
This seems a little too tedious for the old cat. Though you could argue it's more immersive. Ah'vrie doesn't see himself crafting/carrying wooden bowls to collect troll fat no he doesn't., but thanks all the same. We love choice
Spaghetti's Faction Halls - Fort Dawnguard
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/104533
"This mod provides a lightweight, compatible, and FPS friendly overhaul to Fort Dawnguard!"
Fur rugs and banners and skulls oh my... Weee're off to see the Dawngaurd, the wonderful... LOL, consistent with the rest of the series.
HS Riften - The Pawned Prawn
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/104497
"Overhauls The Pawned Prawn, the General Goods store in Riften" Make sure you update the HS Resources file if you already have any HS mods installed. Thanks, the pld cat iss still not fond of adding second floors to locations that clearly don't have them, but your game your way, and this does look good.
And that brings us to our mod of the day. Sound the trumpets and summon the dancers!
Simple Fishing Overhaul - Animations and Improved Quest Dialogue by JaySerpa
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/103440
"Happy Birthday, Skyrim! Fish in third person! Fish in first person! Fish in... second person? Fish in Fish Person! OH, and new lines for the fishing quests and other fishing enhancements!" Requires either DAR or OAR
"I thought if I waited long enough, someone would add third person animations to the fishing so I could finally fish properly. It's been two years... Exactly two years since the fishing addon released. Nothing. Zip. Nada! Not even oFishing!
I had to learn how to animate using blender to make this mod. 2/10 experience, I do not recommend. Also, while I was at it, I decided to improve the quest dialogue. Enjoy!"
Make sure to read the features... This does more than Jay alludes to."
Simple Fishing Overhaul - FLM Addon by Mur4s4me
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/104569
"Using FormList Manipulator, this mod makes various ingredients useable as bait for Jayserpa's Simple fishing Overhaul, without causing any direct conflicts."
Gotta love The boredom lines. Jay at his best. There's also several updates to his other mods now that he learned how to animate. 2 cookies
And that will do for today. The fires are stoked, yada yada. We-B-Open!

Re: Coffee with an old Khajiit
Gooooood Morning Tamriel!
ah'vrie wishes you well. It is Morndas the 13th of Sun's Dusk and wage slaves lament the weekend is over. Hide if you can or work if you must it's Morndas again. The blessed moons are new today and it is a chilly predawn here on warm sands. Excuse please while the fires are stoked, and fresh water is put to the boil.
Our brew of the day is Istanbul espresso and the biscuits are Toll House. Checking the hot sheets we have 42 new mods with lots of jiggle and patches, but little substance. Let's see what catches the old cat's eye over a fresh cuppa.
garikamyan forked Riften Plaza Mosaic STANDALONE from their Project REDemption mod
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/104595
"this is an standalone version mod of my textures for the Riften plaza mosaic. I also added an alternative version of the textures." Thanks, although that was the part of the original mod that Ah'vrie did not like. Still it's not Ah'vrie's game.
AndrewB20 released Half Moon House
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/104628
"A modest house located right beside Half-Moon Mill. Has every amenity you need in the house and in the basement there is a modest bar, smithing area, study, and hidden cellar. Outside there is a sitting area, archery area, and chicken coup. This is a much updated version of my 2012 house mod that I made in college."
We're starting to see quite a few of these very early projects self ported. Thanks
Mur4s4me uploaded Honey Pot by Benitoite
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/104633
A nice mesh, with and without the honey drips in 512, 1K and 2K Thanks.
Skulls 2K-8K by iimlenny
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/104609
"This is a Mesh and Texture Replacer for Skyrims Skulls in 2K-8K"
"I wanted to make the Skulls of Skyrim to look more Aged and Realistic"
And nicely done at that. Sooo of course...
Skulls 2K-8K by iimlenny - My optimized textures SE by Xtudo
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/104626
"My optimized textures for this amazing mod. 4K-2K-1K. No ESP."
And that will dor for today. The fires are stoked, the kettles scrubbed, and this old cat needs more coffee... Much more coffee. We-B-Open!

Goooooood Morning Tamriel!
Ah'vrie wishes you well. It is Tirdas the 14th of Sun's Dusk and another quiet predawn here on warm sands. The blessed moons are gibbous today, but barely visible against the high clouds. Hopefully the goddess enjoyed her rest as the hunt will again be called tonight. Anyway, it is once again time for this old cat to tend the inn for our most honored guests, excuse please while the fires are stoked, and fresh water is put to the boil...
Our brew of the day is from Indonesia, and the biscuits are Strawberry Verona. Checking the hot sheets we have 42 new with all the usual suspects. Let's see what catches an old cat's eye over a fresh cuppa.
keenduck released Rest for Pilgrims as a first mod. Welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/104693
"This mod aims to add a small splash of immersion by adding a bedroll and a storage container to each of the five major temples in Skyrim, for characters who wish to roleplay as either a wandering pilgrim, or a lay person working for the divines."
Nice concept, but the old cat is not thrilled with some of the locations. Thanks though
jenesisquoi released Fateless - A Fate Card Remover as a first mod Welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/104663
"Removes LotD Fate Cards from the game world."
And in classic Skyrim fashion... The universe finds it's balance
Fate Cards New Style - 2023 Remaster by Rick7
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/104676
"This is a new texture for the Fate Cards from Legacy of the Dragonborn by icecramassassin. It is based on the Fate Cards Remade mod by wSkeever."
strangebedfellows released three first SSE mods today
https://www.nexusmods.com/users/9168542 ... files&BH=0
All of them remove hoods from female NPC overhauls. Thanks
Lets see... Styyxus released Mages Wear Robes
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/104657
"Gives you debuffs when casting spells in any armor." You'll want to check the mod page. Debuffs decrease as your armor skills increase, but there will always be a debuff. Thanks, that mechanic was always implied, but never implemented. Have a cookie
Haladoon released Catacomb Leather 2k-4k
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/104694
"Replaces the ugly leather the dead sleep on in Nordic Catacombs."
It always amazes the old cat how after over a decade of playing you can still see things for the first time through the eyes of others. This really does look much better. Texture only, no plugin. tracked to add to my next build. Thanks, have a cookie
Drengin released Solitude Watchtower
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/104666
"New model for the Solitude Watchtower. Full access to platforms and premises." This is a mesh only mod, will work with your installed textures.
Not for old cats. The concept is fine, but the battlements in Solitude are all square, and supported by the in game lore. Using a half round tower that faces... nothing; well it just doesn't quite fit. However it is well done, and even looks good. Not thrilled with the way the base was stretched or the added barricades. Worth a look.
And finally, not a mod of the day as this is an early WIP by Wigfrid09
The Archwood - Falkreath Tree Overhaul - ALPHA -
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/104698
"The Archwood is a complete remake of Falkreath's Forest inspired by Valenwood concept art."
This might turn out to be quite beautiful, even magical. The old cat's only concern is it's far too tropical. Bamboo in Falkreath? The problem here is not the modders skill, it's the entire premise of bringing Valenwood this far north. Screen archers will love it, but for game play... ?
As an aside, the author updated Traverse the Ulvenwald with new animations by Ylikollikas. Now all the trees are affected properly by the wind.
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!

Ah'vrie wishes you well. It is Middas the 15th of Sun's Dusk and another chilly desert predawn here on warm sands. The blessed moons have set, the paths are closed, and it is once again time for this old cat to tend the inn for our most honored guests. Excuse please while the fires are stoked and fresh water is put to the boil...
Our brew of the day is Stockholm Lungo, and the biscuits are Dublin Shortbread. Checking the hot sheets we have 53 new mods which seem long on jiggle and short on substance. Lets see what does catch the eye of an old cat over a fresh cuppa.
MichikoUnknownFox released More NPC Pocket Money 2 (SPID)
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/104357
"Using the magic of SPID, this mod adds extra pocket money to friendly NPCs, which is useful for mods like Your Market Stall, or if you like to pickpocket, etc."
Get's an honorable mention as Ilja could have used this in his last Become a Bard playthrough. Worth a look. Thanks
Kalambre released Social Skyrim as an early WIP
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/104788
The premise is to add additional factions that can interact with the player in their homes. The concept is... nice, but this feels very 'clunky' and much too early to even consider adding to your game. This author likes to post unfinished mods to see if there's any interest and has a list of unfinished mods in their profile. Hard pass for now.
TheShiningAbsol released Falskaar - Survival Mode Warmth Fix
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/104772
You'll want to read the mod page. Falskaar is seen as frigid because the original mod for some reason was set at a great height and is treated by survival mode like you're on the throat of the world. The "band-aid fix" Makes the entire Island have an "interior flag" like Blackreach. Basically making the entire island temperature neutral. An eloquent solution if not perfect. This one gets a cookie for out of the box thinking. Thanks
SB - Dragonbridge Bridge - Revamped
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/104737
"Edited the Dragonbridge Bridge so that the road part has matching textures to the rest of the bridge for a more consistent look." Also makes it parallax ready.
The old cat is on the fence with this one. It does have a consistent look, but it also gives the impression that this was a natural stone arch, not a constructed stone bridge from the first era. Worth a look for certain, but not for old cats
And we come to out mod of the day. Yes we have one, and it deserves the top slot!
The New Gentleman by Novelyst and ModiLogist NSFW
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/104215
"After many hours of development and testing, we present a new solution for a complete male body, this time on Nexus!"
You'll want to read the mod page. Too much info to post here, but seriously worth reading. This can be considered a new male body to be used instead of SOS or SAM, but it's compatible with SOS full textures. Seeing as both SOS and SAM are basically no longer in development and only available on LL, having a NEW current body with all features supported on the Nexus is going to make a lot of people really happy including certain old cats. It's About Damn Time!
3 cookies and a seat by the fires for this one. Looong over due, and much needed.
And that will do for today. The fires are stoked, the kettles scrubbed, and the floors are... When will these bloody Nords learn to dance with each other instead of their mead We-B-Open! Now where is that damn mop?

Ah'vrie wishes you well. It is Turdas the 16th of Sun's Dusk and it's raining here on warm sands. That is very unusual this time of year, but that just makes it special. The blessed moons 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 brought to the boil...
Our brew of the day is from Cape Town, and the biscuits are strawberry thumb print. Checking the hot sheets we have 40 new mods, but a scarce few catch the eye this day.
saincai released Kyne's Sacred Bow as a second mod.
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/104841
"Replaces Froki's Bow with a superior one, worthy of Kyne's Champion" Based on the nightingale bow model, with the same enchantment as the 'Bow of the hunt' The author wanted a unique bow for the trials. Nicely done, have a cookie
Juniper's Food for Dragonsreach
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/104799
""Chops and steaks, fit for a jarl," but we will never know what that means because the Whiterun Jarl's tables are empty. This mod puts food on tables set up for dining in Dragonsreach." Also nicely done, Thanks poptart, looks yummy, have a cookie.
Temryuu released Briarside Lodge
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/104830
"A new, medium sized starting player home in Riften city. Can be purchased for 3500 gold."
Interesting layout, nicely furnished and cluttered, with a hidden rogue's basement. Follower friendly but intended for a single occupant. Worth a look, and reasonably priced for an aspiring thief.
And well finish up with Paraphernalia - Reduced Fern Breeze by gavwhittaker
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/104811
"Vanilla ferns now blow in the wind in a more natural way."
"One of those mods I've been meaning to make for quite some time as I always felt the vanilla fern wind values were a bit over the top, compared to where I live anyhow..."
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!

Our brew of the day is Istanbul espresso brewed over a crushed cardamon seed, and the biscuits are Almond biscotti. Checking the hot sheets we have 45 new with all the jiggles, dangles, patches and pointy sticks we've come to expect. Let's see what does catch the eye of an old cat over a fresh cuppa...
gghumus released two today, one ridiculous and the other interesting
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... user+files
Arrive By Boat to Solstheim - Every Time. The old cat sort of likes this one.
Immersive rock in your boots... Why are the really goofy ones Immersive? PASS!
andbressan released Dragon Soul Blessing SE
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/104876
"I always thought that the Dragonborn when absorbing a dragon's soul should gain some temporary bonus due to the importance of the event. Since Bethesda didn't do it, I did it."
Reasonable buffs for a short time. Why not? Might help with the rock in your boots
ShadowPandah released five today
https://www.nexusmods.com/users/5491934 ... files&BH=0
"Shadow's Upscale Revolution" basically a new 2X upscale of all vanilla textures in the game using modern techniques and neural networks. It does remove some visual artifacts, but in a subtle way. It's hard to see in the supplied pictures, but thanks.
And we'll finish up with TooStuus completing the hat trick
Natural Waterfalls - Dawnguard
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/104860
"Natural Waterfalls. Now in Forgotten Vale." Beautiful work as always. Once again an immediate download for this old cat. 2 cookie work.
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!

The blessed moons have set, the paths are closed, and it is once again time for Ah'vrie to tend the inn for our most honored guests. Excuse please while the fires are stoked and fresh water is put to the boil.
Our brew of the day is Istanbul espresso brewed over a crushed cardamon seed, and the biscuits are Almond biscotti. Checking the hot sheets we have 45 new with all the jiggles, dangles, patches and pointy sticks we've come to expect. Let's see what does catch the eye of an old cat over a fresh cuppa...
gghumus released two today, one ridiculous and the other interesting
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... user+files
Arrive By Boat to Solstheim - Every Time. The old cat sort of likes this one.
Immersive rock in your boots... Why are the really goofy ones Immersive? PASS!
andbressan released Dragon Soul Blessing SE
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/104876
"I always thought that the Dragonborn when absorbing a dragon's soul should gain some temporary bonus due to the importance of the event. Since Bethesda didn't do it, I did it."
Reasonable buffs for a short time. Why not? Might help with the rock in your boots
ShadowPandah released five today
https://www.nexusmods.com/users/5491934 ... files&BH=0
"Shadow's Upscale Revolution" basically a new 2X upscale of all vanilla textures in the game using modern techniques and neural networks. It does remove some visual artifacts, but in a subtle way. It's hard to see in the supplied pictures, but thanks.
And we'll finish up with TooStuus completing the hat trick
Natural Waterfalls - Dawnguard
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/104860
"Natural Waterfalls. Now in Forgotten Vale." Beautiful work as always. Once again an immediate download for this old cat. 2 cookie work.
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!

Re: Coffee with an old Khajiit
Gooooooood Morning Tamriel!
Ah'vrie wishes you well. It is Loredas the 18th of Sun's Dusk and wage slaves rejoice the weekend has arrived. Ah'vrie woke to the smell of water again today which makes this one think that the rains are not done with the desert quite yet. The desert loves these unexpected rains and in another day or two there will be flowers everywhere. They are beautiful, but never last. Anyway, the blessed moons have 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 and the fires rebuilt. You'll want to cover your tankards for a bit. This can get a might dusty and it is not the Khajiit way to offer free refills... There, much better no? Ah'vrie always likes to begin the weekend with happy fires. They warm more than the room as his mother was fond of saying. Now to scrub the kettles, see what's ready to harvest in the garden, and put fresh water to the boil. This old cat needs his coffee yes he does.
Our brew of the day is from Indonesia, and the biscuits are Gingerman. Checking the hot sheets we have 43 new with all the usual jiggles, dangles, patches and cheats. Lets see what catches the eye over a fresh cuppa.
lestastrhoades released Weightless Crafting and Soul's as a first mod. Welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/104986
"makes all ingots and ore as well as soul gems weightless" Thanks we'll throw it on the pile with all the others. Ever heard of Google?
IKentaI released Windhelm - Palace of King meshes fix
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/104972
"This are vanilla meshes of the Palace of Kings fixed of the weird alpha double layering problem" This issue is only noticeable if you use a texture overhaul that changes the texture paths. You probably don't need it, but if you do this is a 2 cookie mod.
FrankBlack is still using BOS to bring diversity to Skyrim
Diverse Farm Fences - Base Object Swapper
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/104990
"A Base Object Swapper mod that changes the fences around farms depending on their region." Soft requirement for SD's Farmhouse Fences SE
And speaking of farms, that brings us to our mod of the day
Lively Farms by wizkid34
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/104915
"Apples, tomatoes and carrots finally visible even in farmers' fields."
"Apple and pear trees, growing carrots, tomatoes plants in many locations.
Three new food recipes: pear dumplings, pear tart and pear pie.
Scarecrows added in some farm locations.
Improver farmers AI for Loreius and Merryfair farm.
Added two oven crafting station in Loreius and Merryfair farm."
Ah'vrie is currently using More plants and recipes which will most likely need a patch, but that's a small price to pay. Another 3 cookie mod from one of the best. Instant download
And that will do for today. The ale was delivered on time, and the new batch of mead is ready so Ah'vrie hopes your are all thirsty. We'll be serving medallions of venison with caramelized onions and mushrooms on a bed of roast diced potatoes with a poached egg on top for the early meal, and ale braised sabrecat with twice baked garlic potatoes and sauteed carrots for the late meal. As always there will be a hearty stew for those that need something to ward the winter chills.
The 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!

Gooooood Morning Tamriel!
Ah'vrie wishes you well. It is Sundas the 19th of Sun's Dusk and a quiet stary predawn here on warm sands. It would seem the storms have finally passed and the blessed moons are already waxing through the first quarter. Ah'vrie caught up on some much needed sleep, but it's time for this one to tend the inn once again. Excuse please while the fires are stoked and fresh water is put to the boil.
Our brew of the day is from Indonesia, and the biscuits are Bordeaux. Checking the hot sheets we have 59 new mods with all the usual suspects, and not a lot of substance. Let's see what catches the eye today over a fresh cuppa...

HS Whiterun - Battle-Born Farm
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/105007
"Overhauls Battle-Born Farm in the outskirts of Whiterun" Well it's certainly busy. Not for old cats but worth a look. Not fond of the wall fences, but it may be more of the texture choices than the actual mod. Thanks
SummerrainRose released Blue Palace Roof - Parallax 8K
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/105030
"Texture replacer for the solitude blue palace with parallax. 8K, 4K or 2K" Now these look nice. Have a cookie

Re: Coffee with an old Khajiit
Gooood Morning Tamriel!
Ah'vrie wishes you well. It is Morndas the 20th of Sun's Dusk and wage slaves lament the weekend is over. Hide if you can or work if you must, it's Morndas again. Excuse please while the old cat tends the inn even if he feels like a proper zombie this morning.
Brew of the day is Inspirazione a Venezia, and the biscuits are Toll House. Checking the hot sheets we have 49 new full of jiggles, dangles patches and cheats, but honestly not much catches the eye.
nwahgelion released Craftman's Rings as a first mod. Welcome
Unfortunately it's just another fortify enchanting exploit ring for the pile. no link needed
NotarinSapphicWeeb released Celtic Eyes as a second mod...
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/105111
Keep your day job These are pretty bad LOL
gooseloose89 released Giants drop 10 toes, and Belethor's Whiterun Superstore
https://www.nexusmods.com/users/6835765 ... files&BH=0
and that was the 'good one'
Lucidstorm Barrel
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/104988
eye bleach required... Asymmetric banding and just plain ugly. Talking Pfuscher into uploading it for them doesn't make it 'good' Hard pass
Those are the good ones? The old cat will be dozing off in the corner. The fires are stoked the kettles scrubbed, and more coffee needed. We-B-Open!

Re: Coffee with an old Khajiit
Goooooood Morning Tamriel!
Ah'vrie wishes you well. it is Tirdas the 21st of Sun's Dusk and divines be praised we have survived yet another Morndas. The blessed moons have set, the paths are closed, and it is once again time for this old cat to tend the inn for our most honored guests. Excuse please while the fires are stoked, and fresh water is put to the boil.
Our brew of the day is Capetown Lungo, and the biscuits are Almond Biscotti. Checking the hot sheets we have 46 new with all the usual suspects. Let's see what catches an old cat's eye over a fresh cuppa... Make it a double.
konaherson2 released Flawless varla stone
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/105170
"you can upgrade your flawed varla stone on staff enchanter, to craft Flawless varla stone or dark varla stone,which you can trap greater soul or grand soul.
also improved the effect of Welkynd stone, make it not just a big magic potion."
Originally this just seemed cheaty, but it does provide a usable replacement for Azura's star. Of course it also negates the dialog that her star is the only reusable soul gem... Why not?
Juniper's House for Aranea
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/105242
"Gives Aranea a place to live and a schedule once you complete her quest so she doesn't stand near Azura's shrine for the rest of the game. It's cold up there!" Poptart continues to provide for homeless NPCs. A better use for rebuilding one of the broken houses in Winterhold. She's got a good heart. This one gets a cookie.
Shadow's Upscale Revolution was concluded with an all in one, then created a loose file version of Common Clothes and Armors and upscaled that unfortunately also naming it part of the series No cookie for lack of naming clarity but thanks
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... user+files
Lemkil Farmhouse - Tem's Houses
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/105197
"Lightweight, vanilla overhaul of Lemkil Farm interior. ESL Flagged." Thanks, yet another house the old cat never bothered to see the inside of LOL
we'll finish up with Obi's Tattoos 3BA 4K (NSFW)
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/105109
"Just some tattoos that I drew! eslified." Not the old cat's style but thanks.
