Goooooood morning Tamriel!

Ah'vrie wishes you well. It is Morndas the 19th of Sun's Dawn. Hide if you can, or work if you must it's Morndas again. The blessed moons have set and it's 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 Inspirazione a Venezia and the biscuits are Verona. Checking the hot sheets we have 60 new with all the usual jiggles, dangles, patches, and pointy sticks. let's see what catches the eye of an old cat over a fresh cuppa... Make it a double

Sinclo released Combat Eyes as a first mod. Welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/111848
"This mod allows your character's eye color to change automatically while in and out of combat. Ever wanted your character to automatically enable glowing eyes when entering combat? If so, this mod is for you." Well, this is totally unique as far as the old cat can remember. It really is more fitting for a mage than anything else, but a very interesting effect none the less. Worth a look and a cookie.

LordPizzaGamer released Whiterun Nostalgic Roof 2K as a first mod. Welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/111976
"If you're anything like me you love Whiterun's classic "ugly" yellow roof tiles that so many texture mods replace with boring dull colors. This mod simply brings back the iconic yellow roof tiles for Whiterun." Ugly yellow in 2K it is then. Thanks

Chickenator587 released Dragon Names Revised
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/112012
"A simple change to the in-game naming of various dragon types." It's the authors second mod, but it might as well be their first, so Welcome. They released a 'tweaks' mod a few days ago with virtually no description. Not thrilled with some of the new names, but why not. Thanks

FrankBlack released Diverse Witcher Missives Boards - Base Object Swapper
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/111770
"A Base Object Swapper mod that adds thirty four variant Witcher Missives Boards around Skyrim." A bit of overkill, but why not? The old cat liked missile mans mod from a week ago, this just kicks it up a notch. Thanks

KenadeBR released Sovngarde Statue 8K-4K-2K-1K
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/112003
"I couldn't find a texture for that statue, so I made one myself." See a need , fill a need... Thanks, have a cookie

Rosehla released Quaint Solstheim Villa
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/112016
"A Solstheim home behind Raven Rock with a small farm, an outdoor smithing area, and a guest house. Room for three followers and a spouse. Curios, Fishing, Ghosts of the Tribunal, and Hendraheim cc required for various objects/ingredients/furniture." Well, it's an interesting location. Not part of Raven rock, but up the hill nearby. Requires a few CC mods for ingredients, shrines... Stuff. But worth a look. This one has room for a few followers and a spouse. Thanks

Zorkaz (Of FO4 fame) released Illusion Ritual Spell - Quest Markers For The Books
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/111963
"Adds quest markers for the Master Illusion Books, during the Illusion quest." This is their first SSE mod, so welcome. Requires the use of Vision of the tenth eye to see the markers.

And finally, this one the old cat has wanted to see... Beat the drums!

TheCyclist released Dynamic Horse Petting Animations for Immersive Interactions
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/111767
"New Horse Petting Animations for Immersive Interactions." Uses OAR, and a script or two to add additional petting animations for horse petting. There's even a patch for skills of the wild that makes the horse skittish if you're an inexperienced rider (untested)

The old cat can never have too much interaction with his horses. Now we need a mod to allow hand feeding them apples. Have an apple... I mean cookie

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 Tirdas the 20th of Sun's Dawn and a quiet predawn here on warm sands. The blessed moons will be full again this weekend so hone those silver weapons while you have the chance. The goddess' crazy puppies are nothing to be trifled with. Anyway. 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 Miami espresso, and the biscuits are Zurich. Checking the hot sheets we have 53 new with all the usual suspects. Let's see what catches the eyes of an old cat over a fresh cuppa or two...

TheDrunkenSoviet released Missing Name Fix as a first mod Welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/112082
"A simple SSEEdit fix for the <Missing Name> bug. Where the Update.esm files has bad strings." Only affects English strings, in the last survival update... Not a lot of detailed information, it's also possible this is a regional fix. Thanks

TactWithMolag released Negative Enchantments
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/112099
"This mod adds new enchantments with negative effects" Utterly useless unless you intend to RP someone that likes to curse objects... Hard pass, but different

scarlettdays21 released Fabulous Makeup - Racemenu Overlays
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/111892
"9 Set Of Stylized Eye Makeup To Make Your Character Look Fabulous" Or just weird ... Your game your way LOL. Thanks

gutmaw released Snazzy Diverse Carriages - Base Object Swapper
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/112041
"Adds diversity to every carriage in the game via Base Object Swapper" Includes patches for CFTO and Convenient carriages. Thanks... looks snazzy ;-)

aSingularBee released Bees' Fishing Shack - A Simple Player Camp
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/112048
"Turns the unmarked fishing shack west of Dawnstar (added by Fishing CC) into a functional player camp." Just a little dressing up of the existing camp. a little additional storage (all safe) a cooking spit, tanning rack and some minor clutter. The old cat is not sure who would want this location as an actual camp, but nicely done. Thanks

Suinier released Dawnstar - The Hawking Horker
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/112110
"A small addition to Dawnstar which provides the town with a sorely needed general store." And very nicely done at that. Nice location next to the quicksilver mine, lore friendly... What's not to like. Honestly the old cat prefers a mod like this over most of the town overhauls for Dawnstar. This fits in well. Compatible with RubberSpaghetti's overhaul, and it's needed. 2 cookies and thanks

We'll finish up with yet another small quest mod from this author

nimwraith released The Serpent's Covenant - Quest Mod
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/111911
"Accompany a mercenary on her mission to destroy a guild that threatens all civilised society." It's unique, and fully voiced. Needs testing in game, but nothing wrong with a bit of fresh additional content. Thanks, have a cookie.

A foot note... this uses the new 1.71 header, and has been flagged ESL. So it will have issues with the current synthesis patcher... grain of salt.

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!

Goooooood Morning Tamriel!

Ah'vrie wishes you well. It is Middas the 21st of Sun's Dawn and a crisp predawn here on warm sands. 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 is put to the boil.

Our brew of the day is from Indonesia, and the biscuits are Chessman. Checking the hot sheets we have 57 new with all the jiggles, dangles, patches and goofs we've come to expect. Let's see what catches the eyes of an old cat over a fresh cuppa this day...

Kanjs continues to make stuff beat and glow that shouldn't. Film at 11

Barrbarrooz released Silvermoon Hall SE as a first mod. Welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/112196
"Grand hall at the lakeshore to relax. Plus dungeon, armory, bath, pantheon, garrison and a library. Including trophy displays and a beach. Anything else?" Noobish overkill at it's best. Not for old cats but worth a look. Thanks

LieIanthris released Rorikstead Home as a first mod. Welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/112142
"Player Home just outside of Rorikstead." Thanks, Frankly it looks more like a small bandit camp, but your game your way.

Domek97 ported Enhanced Summons - SE as a first mod. Welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/112128
"Makes summons stronger, tougher. Converted for SSE." Ported for another user with no intent to support. Thanks for the warning. Pass

saucybox released Divine Elegance Varied Attire for Thieves and Dark Brotherhood SPID
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/112167
"Distributes suitable, lore firendly outfits to members of the Thieves guild and Dark Brotherhood from the Divine Elegance Store in a highy configurable and easy to use SPID"

Etienne would approve... thanks

Admiral30 released No Fallen Leaves in Rift
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/112137
"Replace fallen leaves with invisible mesh." Intended for use with 'green aspen' tree replacers, but stands on it's own if you don't like the fallen leaves. Thanks

Halffaces - one more bar stool
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/112140
"Alternative version woodenbarstool.nif Mesh and textures only. No ESP" An interesting look. The old cat could see it as part of a BOS variety mod, maybe not as a replacer. Thanks

And finally not exactly a mod of the day...

Dear diary dark mode - Sorting books by read and unread by Quasart
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/112166
"Allow to sort inventory by read/unread books" Basically brings unread books to the top of the menu. This is a passive sort option, not a 'button' Some might find it useful, thanks

And that will do for today. The fires are stoked,m the kettles scrubbed, and the floors are... Where is that damned mop? We-B-Open!

Goooooood Morning Tamriel!

Ah'vrie wishes you well. It is Turdas the 22nd of Sun's Dawn and a quiet predawn at the inn. The blessed moons are almost full. Keep those silver weapons close this weekend. For now, the 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 is put to the boil.

Our brew of the day is Stockholm roast, and the biscuits are Zurich. Checking the hot sheets we have 47 new with all the usual suspects. Let's see what catches the eye over a fresh cuppa...

thesignedpainter released SD's Horn Candles Radiant ENB Candles
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/108882
"This mod adds the intense ENB light from Radiant Candles to SD"s Candle Horns" The old cat does like Techangel85's horn candles, but would have liked to see a few more pictures. Includes a patch for STaC. Thanks

Adlez8475 released two today. Both potion model SPIDs
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... user+files
Three mods, all potion model swaps... this one seems a little fixated, but the choices are good ones. Thanks, have a cookie

Rally's Dark Elf Furniture (High Poly - ENB Light)
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/112042
"Complete Overhaul of Dark Elf Furniture with SMIMed meshes, High Poly Pillows and optional ENB Light Lanterns" Hmmm, Rally's models, and particle light lanterns... Sounds like a winning combination to old cats. Thanks, have another cookie. We love choice

Clofas1 released Distant Dragon Roars
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/112185
"Simple mod utilizing Sound Record Distributor to take vanilla distant dragon roars and add them as ambient sounds to exterior regions." This will keep you looking to the skys LOL. Why not. Thanks

And finally, as our lovely Gnewna pointed out yesterday JaySerpa strikes again!

NPCs Take Cover - Smarter Anti-Cheese AI
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/111890
"This mod makes NPCs smarter and capable of dealing with the most cheesy strategy Skyrim has ever seen: shooting NPCs from locations they cannot reach. They will now hide properly and relocate if necessary, while also shaming you for using dirty tactics (with 200+ voiced reactions!)"

Hmmm, A mod specifically designed to embarrass stealth archers and sneaky wizards... The old cat's not sure how he feels about that, but will probably add it just for (dare I say it) Immersion Another serious 2 cookie mod. Thanks

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-Be-Open!

Gooooooood Morning Tamriel!

Ah'vrie wishes you well. It is Fredas the 23rd of Sun's Dawn and thank the divines the weekend is nigh. It's a crisp desert predawn here on warm sands. The blessed moons are gibbous so this one would be smart to keep that silver weapon close for the entire weekend. Remember Ah'vrie's inn rules... You show up smelling of wet dog and you'll taste this old cat's silver mace. No crazy puppies allowed! This one had to clean up after the last party *shudders* Anyway, it is once again time 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 Miami espresso, and the biscuits are Apricot Verona. Checking the hot sheets we have 58 new with plenty of jiggles, dangles, patches, goofs, and pointy sticks, but little substance. Let's see what does catch the eyes of an old cat over a fresh cuppa or two...

RubinDJM released Alkir's House as a second mod
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/112346
"Alkir's House is a very small house. This mod is mostly for immersion and my own practice." Keep working at your craft and someday...

DEEJMASTER333 released 5 today. Four small fixes, and an uncapper slower leveling edit
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... user+files

sattyre released Dibella's Shrine Statue Fix
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/112342
"Now when you discover Dibella's Shrine, you will see a Statue of Dibella instead of just a generic stone column." This one the old cat likes. The column made no sense. Compatible with any replacer mod. Nicely done. Have a cookie

cbgreely released Diverse BOS Kitchenware
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/112361
"Diversify the appearance of kitchenware with various high quality models depending on region using bOS" How can you argue with that. This one gets a cookie as well.

GiraPomba released Campfire Animations
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/112322
"This mod will add some animations while interacting with the Campfire from Campfire - Complete Camping System."

Ah'vrie doesn't usually bother with animations, but Campfire is near and dear to many hearts. Some of the animations are really cute and well done. From an immersion standpoint it's cookie worthy, but it will take more time to build a fire. Be sure to check out the video. If you don't mind adding a little to the tedium you might like this. There are several requirements as well so read the mod page.

And finally our mod of the day. Yes Virginia, there actually is a mod of the day...

Jazrael released Legend Of The Vae SE
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/110129
''For some this dungeon will be their greatest challenge ever. For others this will be their worst nightmare...''

Their 2014 multi level nightmare has now been rebuilt from the ground up for SSE. Not an old cat's cup of tea, but it's not the old cat's game. Worth a look if you're into OP challenges.

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!

Gooooooood morning Tamriel!

Ah'vrie wishes you well. It is Loredas the 24th of Sun's Dawn and wage slaves rejoice the weekend has arrived. The blessed moons are full, and the goddess' crazy puppies are out causing all sorts of mischief, but for now at least the moons have set so it's time once again for Ah'vrie to tend the inn for our most honored guests. Excuse please while the ash pits are emptied and the fires are rebuilt. Ah'vrie always likes to start off the weekend with happy fires. You may want to cover your tankards for a bit. This can get a tad dusty... There, much better no? A happy fire warms more than the room as his mother liked to say. Now to compost the ash, scrub the kettles, check the garden and put fresh water to the boil...

Our brew of the day is from Indonesia, and the biscuits are Toll House. Checking the hot sheets we have 42 new with all the usual suspects. Let's see what catches the eye of an old cat over a fresh cuppa this day.

thunderbotua released Summon Teammates as a first mod. Welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/112383
"Lesser power to summon your teammates which are in 250ft radius to you and force them to stop combat." "allow you to teleport all your teammates in some nearest position around you and regroup again." Not the first summon your summons mod, but thanks.

Vicn released Animated Carriage
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/112397
"NPCs now travel by carriage on the road." Like their animated ships mod, this is just a visual enhancement, but it seems they've given up on finishing it. There are two current 'Whiterun routs' and the author calls for others to treat this like a resource and add routs. Interesting mod, but more than they could finish. Thanks anyway.

AlaxoucheModding released Yggdrasil - World Tree Redux
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/112376
"Adds a new floating island and yggdrasil tree to the region of Skyrim!" "This version is a redux of the original mod. I cleaned the plugin and made it Load Order agnostic, I cleaned and fixed some meshes, I added a new small spwan island with a hanging tree with a way to access the tree, and added a chest with some unique rewards."

This is an edited version of FrostyDudess17's original mod, and a WIP. Thanks, but Ah'vrie prefers Floating Island of legend better... the old cat might be just a tad biased though ;-)

GiraPomba released Have a Bite - Auto eat food from Barter Menu
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/112427
"This mod will bring a little immersion to the everyday inn; find a confy chair/bench/table to sit, wave to one of the servers and order some food. The food or drink will be automatically consumed on the spot. Plays nicely with eating animations mods."

There's a problem with the included video link, but this sounds... immersive. Thanks

We'll finish up with Rally's Upper Furniture
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/112256
"Complete Overhaul of Upper Furniture. Includes all available SMIM meshes and new High Poly Pillows. Optional file with Table Cloth, Banners, Carpets and Drapes for Jorrvaskr available." Rally never fails to impress. Nice wood textures and the metal details include a proper cube map, and fit in rather nicely. Solid 2 cookie work as always.

And that will do for today. The ale arrived on time last night, and the new batch of mead is ready so drink up. We're serving mudcrab scrambles as the early meal, and Ale braised sabrecat as the late meal. As always there will be a hearty stew simmering for those needing something more substantial. 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!

Goooooood morning Tamriel!

Ah'vrie wishes you well. It is Sundas the 25th of Sun's Dawn and a quiet predawn here on warm sands. The blessed moons have set, but keep those silver weapons close for another day at least. Anyway, it is time once again 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 boil.

Our brew of the day is Stockholm roast, and the biscuits are Bordeaux. Checking the hot sheets we have 52 new, nothing Nirn shattering, but a few caught the eye. Let's have a closer look over a fresh cuppa... definitely a fresh cuppa.

STALKER696969 released Photo Mode - Frame Overlays as a first mod. Welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/112458
Yeesh, eye bleach required, but your game your way. Thanks

srm022 released Quiet Frost Atronach as a first mod. Welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/112497
"Dial down the volume of Frost Atronach's footstep sounds" Thanks, but let's face it, none of the summons are stealthy.

mikk1n ported Slaughterfish RTX by TheRagMan
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/112525
"Quick and dirty port of TheRagMan's lovely slaughterfish retexture, for use with Upgraded Slaughterfish." Thanks, looks yummy

GeraldMods released New Directions for Road Signs - Base Object Swapper
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/112063
"I have released road signs overhauls twice before, but I was not satisfied with the results. Now, I can finally present the optimal solution for road signs improvements."

They weren't kidding. This one has been tweaking road signs and unmarked locations since 2021. This adds markers for most farms and forts and mines. Uses BOS so no world edits. Thanks

JobiWanUK released Cheeky Kids
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/112455
"Makes children run up to other NPCs and throw random insults at them, with appropriate responses. ESL flagged and very lightweight. There are around 270 lines of dialogue, all made using vanilla assets." Triggers about every 5 hours with about a 70% change of firing. Can be tweaked with a console command... Your game your way. Pass

We'll finish up with Halffaces - basic wodden plate V2
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/112476
"Yet another mesh ant texture replacer for vanilla basicwoodenplate01.nif" Only this looks more like a bowl. The bottom is too round to be a plate, and upside down it looks more like a pith helmet than even a bowl. Keep working at your craft and....

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 Morndas the 26th of Sun's Dawn. Wage slaves lament, the weekend is over. Hide if you can, or work if you must, it's Morndas again. Ah'vrie woke to the smell of water just before a gentile rain began. The evil wizard El Niño is still attacking the desert with weather, but the shaman has said he appears to finally be weakening. This one can only hope. Anyway it is time once again 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 Stockholm roast, and the biscuits are Chessmen. Checking the hot sheets we have 51 new mods, with lots of jiggles, dangles, and cheats as always. Let's see what catches the eye of an old cat over a fresh cuppa or two...

aonovaalpha released StatFX - ImageSpace Modifiers for HMS as a first mod. Welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/112605
"A lightweight SKSE plugin that adds Imagespace Modifiers (aka screen overlay effects / color filters) that dynamically fade in and out depending on the player's current stat percentages" Yeesh... not distracting at all Not for old cats anyway.

Cristobot released Ring of Invulnerability as a first SSE mod... Welcome, but no link needed

savvy9379 released Savvy's Tel Mithryn
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/112602
A follow up to their Tel Mithryn Bedroom mod which is not required. The old cat was actually looking forward to this as Tel Mithryn could really use a serious overhaul... Unfortunately this ain't it. Lots of banners, carpets, and what should be dead ivy. It does add a few things, like some book shelves and a reading nook. Nice but the old cat was hoping for... Well more. Thanks

JobiWanUK released Better Dressed Kids - Willybach Textures SPID
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/112589
"Distributes 25 outfits randomly to Skyrim's child NPCs with SPID, using the excellent textures from Willybach" Nice, thanks. The old cat would love to see a version of this that randomly distributes clothes from several of the better sources. It's a start.

Admiral30 released Excessive Shrubs Removed (BOS or Plugin)
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/112540
"Remove shrubs and bushes which placement makes no sense." It's a WIP as they discover more shrubs that need pruning. No mention of what flora mods they currently have installed unfortunately, but thanks.

winedave released wd - Taproots
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/112609
"new models and textures for Taproots. Available in 4K, 2K and 1K. With or without Enblight." "Patch" containing DTA meshes for Dynamic Things Alternative in optional files as well. Thanks.

And finally, we'll end with one the old cat likes and will probably install.

Arcs Tankard Redux by ArchonShadow
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/112567
"Arcs Tankard Redux is a remesh and 4k texture overhaul for Skyrims Tankard, no esp"

The old cat just likes the look of this model. There's something fitting about Ash staves and pewter rings... (Beats the hell out of the one that looks like an olive oil decanter ;-)
This one gets a cookie.

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 Almond biscotti. Checking the hot sheets we have 52 new with all the usual suspects. Let's see what catches the eyes of an old cat over a fresh cuppa...

WindreeKindheart released Disable notifications as a first mod. Welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/112639
"Disables specific set of notifications popup in the top left corner of screen for more immersive gameplay Currently supported profiles are survival, gameplay, system and all."

An interesting first mod. Requires Notification Filter - Remove unwanted notifications to function, and is basically an edited version of that mods .INI file. Be sure to check the mod page as this requires a new game, and turns off a lot of notifications. The old cat still remembers his first SSE playthrough with no MCM, and the hud basically turned off. It was one of his best playthroughs. A cookie for originality, but know what you're getting into.

thunderbotua released Open Locks as a mage as a second mod
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/112616
"Open Locks spell tome which allows you open locks with Alteration magic skill and advance it. Gain favor from Nocturnal to open very difficult locks." There are some caveats to it's use, so be sure to read the mod page. Alohomora comes to Skyrim

1990srider released SREX The Great Porch in Skyrim
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/112596
"Adds The Great Porch of Dragons Reach to the Skyrim World Space" Requires the author's SR Exterior Cities Series All In One as a hard requirement. That's a deal breaker for old cats. Thanks, Pass

Magink666 released Spiders of Solstheim - Transparency Fix - No Glow
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/112675
"Remove glow from Solstheim Spider. Personal taste." Why not? Thanks

ImperialAgent1992 released Equip Stormcloak Soldiers With Deadly Crossbows
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/112668
"Crossbow for stormcloaks and its rebel hold ally." Stealing the Dawnguards thunder? Meh

Kanjs - Spriggan Sap Animated
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/112673
Not everything needs to move and glow. This one seems to be running out of ideas... good ones anyway.

JobiWanUK released Better Dressed Kids - Willybach Textures Replacer Version
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/112635
"Texture replacer only for wider compatibility, no ESP. Works with TKAA and RS Children." An interesting follow up to the SPID version from yesterday.

iimlenny released Hammer 2K-8K by iimlenny

"This is a Mesh and Texture Replacer for Skyrims Hammer in 2K-8K" Got too much Vram? Lenny's got the answer LOL Thanks

And finally, Not the mod of the day

Halffaces - Diverse (BOS) wooden plate

Not even going to comment... Is that fish 'tray' stone or metal? Not for old cats' but worth a look I guess

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 Middas the 28th of Sun's Dawn. By the divines is it really First Seed already? This year is already flying by. The blessed moons are waning through the first crescents, we should all be safe from the goddess' crazy puppies for another cycle. For now, it is 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 boil.

Our brew of the day is Inspirazione a Venezia, and the biscuits are Toll House. Checking the hot sheets we have 45 new with all the usual jiggles, patches, and cheats. Lets see what catches the eye of an old cat over a fresh cuppa.

As mentioned WardenDargo released Simple Bosmer Harvesting

SpringHeelJon released Dragonsreach Designs - Carvings Retexture
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/112727
"Vanilla based retexture of the wood carvings in Dragonsreach Keep." The normal maps appear a bit fuzzy to an old cat's eye, especially noticeable between the pillars. Nice effort, but a swing and a miss. Thanks

WhyHello128 released Antique Objects Pack 4
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/112024
"A collection of items, typically of an antique, retro or vintage theme." Retro in what universe? An octopus piggy bank? These would be more fitting for FO4 than Skyrim. Pass

Tythemis released two today
https://www.nexusmods.com/users/4809016 ... files&BH=0
Skooma with worse withdrawal effects, and Gradual Food and Drink effects. Thanks

We'll finish up with two from nesslowland
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... user+files
Vanilla guard uniforms showing a little midriff, and what can arguably pass for a mod of the day... wait for it...

Build Your Own KS Hairdos
"SSEEdit script that allows you to quickly customize which KS Hairdos you want to see in Racemenu." While it requires manually editing an INI file to limit the included hair styles this can come in handy if you're sick of wading through close to 1K styles for the 5 or 10 you actually use on a regular basis.

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!
