Modding on the SpectrumGoooooood Morning Tamriel!
Ah'vrie wishes you well. It is Turdas the 29th of Sun's Dawn and another 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 boil.
Our brew of the day is Inspirazione a Napoli, and the biscuits are classic Fig Newton. Checking the hot sheets we have 40 new, with all the jiggles, dangles, patches, and goofs we've come to expect. Let's see what catches the eye today over a fresh coffee.
PhantomZerov2 released Time Is Gold as a first mod. Welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/112749
"This mod's greatest feature allows you to craft an Impure Gold Ingot from Gold Ores and turn it into shiny little golds known as Septims."
LOL, nothing screams NOOB! like a mod to let you make your own money. Enjoy
HeraclesJones released Winterhold Is Rebuilding
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/112775
"Minimal rebuild of Winterhold that fixes three houses and adds a blacksmith, a martial dojo with a Block trainer and a unique merchant who has a multi-level dungeon in her basement. Compatible with JK's Skyrim / Winterhold"
If they stopped at three houses and a blacksmith it would have been cookie worthy... as to the rest Your game your way. not for old cats
ImperialAgent1992 released The Great War
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/112796
"This mod changes civil war character to thalmor, stormcloaks are now thalmor... Takes time to make hopefully it works" Nope! Download at your own risk LOL
snozz2004 released Fort Greymoor
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/112771
"Overhaul of Fort Greymoor" Read that as a little bit of rubble and a lot of enemies. Your game your way. Thanks
Let's get to the good stuff
Pieter82 released Riften Plaza Well - 3D Trellis
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/112754
"Replaces the 2D trellis of the Riften Plaza Well with 3D trellis. Mesh replacer only, no plugin / ESP." Looks really nice. Not sure why he didn't replace the market stall trellises as well? This one is cookie worthy.
And finally, our mod of the day. Sound the trumpets!
Better TCL by RedxYeti
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/112791
"Adds an MCM configurable hotkey that enables a different command that only toggles the players collision, instead of all collision. It's like if TCL and TFC had a baby."
The old cat has to admit the idea of toggling collision for the player only never crossed an old cat's thoughts. But the video really shows the difference, and being able to assign it to a hotkey... This one gets two 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!

Re: Coffee with an old Khajiit
Gooooooood morning Tamriel!
Ah'vrie wishes you well. It is Fredas the 1st of First Seed, and thank the divines the weekend is nigh. It's a crisp predawn here on warm sands. The blessed moons have set and it's time once again 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 Napoli, and the biscuits are Toll House. Checking the hot sheets we have 44 new mods with all the usual jiggles, dangles, patches, and pointy sticks. Let's see what catches the eye this morning over a fresh cuppa.
ccld released their first non translation mod. Welcome
Toggle UI (SKSE Plugin)
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/112819
"SKSE Plugin that allows users to toggle UI." Operates in a similar fashion to Immersive Hud, but with a few added features. Worth a look. Needs to be tested in game. Was written for 1.5.97 but should be version independent. Thanks we love choice.
BunnyPriestess released Elevenlabs Batch Generator
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/112846
" Enables batch Generation->download->naming of audio from Elevenlabs using data from a csv file to generate audio." Requires a paid subscription.
And finally Halffaces - Folded Rags Overhaul (WIP)
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/112836
"An attempt to give vanilla rags more variety not only with textures, but also with shapes"
Well the old cat loves the concept, but the the choice of using bright flowery colorful... Jacquard woven textures just doesn't work for this old cat. It's a matter of personal taste. Lace doilies, and macrame tea cozies don't fit this old cat's image of the game world. You are perfectly welcome to disagree. We love choice.
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!

Re: Coffee with an old Khajiit
Goooooood morning Tamriel! amriel mriel riel el...
It would seem Ah'vrie is greeting an empty room. This is okay, it only makes mopping the floors that much easier. It is Loredas the 2nd of First Seed. The blessed moons are waning through the first quarter, and wage slaves rejoice the weekend has arrived. Now to empty the ash pits and rebuild the fires... There, this is much better. Ah'vrie always likes to start the weekend off with happy fires, and these fires look very happy.
Our brew of the day is Inspirazione a Napoli, and the biscuits are Bordeaux. Checking the hot sheets we have 40 new. Mostly jiggles, dangles and patches as usual. Let's see what catches an old cat's eye that doesn't have a cup size...
olivierbest released Sky Haven Temple no collision box
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/112872
"Remove exterior zone, when slide on the ground and eject outside the location before discover temple at main quest and other fix"
Obviously English was not a first language, but honestly I'm not sure what this does. A wild guess would be if you land your paraglider on the temple before discovering it through the main quest you are ejected off the mountain? No comments... Thanks?
tortojcla released The Pyramid of Skyrim 2024
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/112889
"Vampire hunt for foolhardy adventurers is officially open!" A WIP vertical 'arena' pyramid. You get rewards for each level you clear... Not for old cats but thanks
4R4NDMbGY3 released Chocolate-Chip Cookies - DOS
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/112909
"Cookies are magical, we know that. Now you can experience that magic in Skyrim! Adds three types of chocolate-chip cookies, with special effects, that you can craft, sell and share." Each cookie buffs H, S, or M by 15 points and restores 3/sec for i minute
Obviously this is a 3 cookie mod
jeffcollins2020 released Parallax-Travled Dirt Roads
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/112899
"Traveled dirt roads is a mod I made for a more natural look. The mod includes a new set of old meshes designed to replace game meshes (the meshes are vanilla assets) and implement new ones. There are no cobblestone mesh parts on the roads, and the texture mapping has been set to parallax mapping using your installed landscape textures."
Undoing 3 eras of road building... Now they're all mud. Your game your way. Thanks?
IWantATardis released 4K Karstaag Skull
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/112866
"A higher poly model and retexture of the Karstaag skull from Dragonborn DLC" Not thrilled with the teeth, but the skull looks good. In 2K and 4K, no plugin. Thanks
And finally Mouse Wheel Zoom by RedxYeti
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/112887
"Use the mouse wheel while in first person to zoom in and out, similar to Portal 2. MCM included, ESP flagged as ESL." Interesting concept... Now the dragonborn has telescopic eyes. LOL, I guess the head cannon for this is see like a dragon? Oookay. Pretty cool.
Requires some minor tweaks to SSE engine fixes. Why not. Thanks
And that will do for today. The new batch of mead is ready, and we have a fresh shipment of ale so this one hopes you're thirsty. We're serving medallions of venison marinated in Colovian brandy, served on a bed of roast potatoes with caramelized onions and a poached egg on top for the early meal. Wyvern and chips for mid day, and ale braised Sabercat with twice baked garlic potatoes and sauteed carrots in herb butter for the late meal. As always we'll have a hearty stew simmering all day for those that need to ward off Skyrim's chill.
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!

Re: Coffee with an old Khajiit
Goooooood morning Tamriel!
Ah'vrie wishes you well. it is Sundas the 3rd of First Seed, and another 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 Tamuka mu Zimbabwe, and the biscuits are apricot thumb print. Checking the hot sheets we have 50 new with all the usual suspects. Let's see what catches the eyes of an old cat this day. Spoilers... not much.
Rimbok released BD's Armor and Clothes Replacer - Clothes Only Slider Group as a first mod
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/112986
"Slider group for BadDog's Armor and Clothes replacer (CBBE 3BA)" Welcome
brandiuntz released Folkvangr - Pine and Twig Replacer
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/112966
"Replaces the pine leaf piles and twig piles with plants from the Cathedral 3D Grass Library." well they're fern leaves by why pick nits? Thanks
ex0tekk released two today
https://www.nexusmods.com/users/5653528 ... files&BH=0
removes bee hives and hanging moss from reach trees (to go with their 'reach tree remover) Of course the mod will actually remove the hives and moss from everywhere... PASS
Well they can't all be gems... but there was one bright spark...
HS Riften - Temple of Mara
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/112903
"Overhauls the Temple of Mara in Riften."
Ah'vrie sometimes gives HS mods a gentle poke for having ivy growing on interior walls and banners everywhere adnausium... Only it really works in Mara's temple for some reason. Though why there would be a shine to Arkay in the temple of Mara eludes the old cat LOL. This one gets a cookie
And that will do for today, The fires are stoked, yada yada. Enjoy what remains of the weekend. We-B-Open!

Ah'vrie wishes you well. It is Morndas the 4th of First Seed and wage slaves lament the weekend is over. Hide if you can or work if you must it's Morndas again. The blessed moons have set and it's 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 classic Ristretto, but unfortunately the shaman has decreed decaf only for the old cat. So if I'm a bit of a grumpy Gus this morning you'll forgive an old cat. The biscuits are the old cats own double fudge brownies topped with chocolate chip cookies. I made enough to share
Checking the hot sheets we have 46 new with all the usual suspects, and as always we welcome all the new modders to the community.
RadishGaming0 released Ring of LARPing as a first mod welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/113054
Adds a OP cheat ring of magic resistance. Needs to be spawned. How... original
opethfeldt released Shiny Horkers as a first mod. Welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/113029
"My own retexture and normals for horkers. Very simple, but efective. 8 options in total, 4 colors and 4 skin type." (actually 2 skin types)
The old cat has to admit, the wrinkled dark grey variant looks really good. Not so thrilled with the lighter colors, but we love choice. Thanks have a cookie
4R4NDMbGY3 released Potato Chips (Crisps) - DOS
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/113030
"Potato chips - a simple yet delicious snack enjoyed the world over, now available in Skyrim! Two varieties with beneficial effects"
The recipes are a bit ridiculous to create a single portion, and the buffs are a bit out there as well. Worth a look. Can Bosmeri eat potatoes?
Suinier released Winterhold - The Bubbling Brew
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/113027
"A small addition to the town of Winterhold which provides a brand new alchemy store." The old cat honestly prefers this approach to total overhauls. It does include patches for several Winterhold overhauls. Thanks
Barrbarrooz released Crimson Hall SE as a second mod.
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/113019
"No nonsense house near the Snow Shod farm Riften" A bit over the top, and plays mix and match with Riften and Whiterun kits, but at least there's no multilevel arena dungeon in the basement this time LOL. Thanks
Roonya released Seasonal Spiffed Up Tundra Scrubs - Animated
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/112938
"Replaces Tundra Scrubs (not Shrubs - that's something else) with ICFur's animated versions, edited to blend well with Seasonal Landscapes. Seasonal Landscapes is not required, however." Seasons of Skyrim required.
and finally Halffaces - another one table
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/113017
"Mesh and texture replacer for vanilla commontablesquare01.nif No esp, safe to install/unistall at any time."
Well considering yesterdays square table wasn't square, we'll call this an improvement Actually this looks good, maybe a little too good as a replacer for the common square table. This looks more upper to the old cat's eye. Your game your way. Thanks

Our brew of the day if from Indonesia, and the biscuits are Toll House. Checking the hot sheets we have 55 new with plenty of jiggles, patches, and pointy sticks. Let's see what catches the eye of an old cat this morning over a fresh cuppa...
sleeperCale released Grelka Lives in Shor's Stone
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/113113
"Grelka spends her weekends in Shor's Stone." A nice touch for those not using Arthmoor's Shore's Stone which already includes a house and AI package update for her. Thanks
ItzIvy released Vanilla Azura Statue Replacer for Daedric Shrines - All in One
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/113095
Replaces the vanilla statue for those using Daedric Shrines - All in One by Mandragorasprouts. There is also a link to a standalone replacer by MikeCanion from 2022
Halffaces - Bar stool ropes
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/113135
"Mesh and textures only. No ESP " The old cat will pass, but thanks. We love choice.
Skyking Signs
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/112902
"Skyking Signs offers all new meshes and textures for the shop and inn signs found throughout Skyrim. Signs will sway in the wind and respond more accordingly when hit. Their materials are set to wood as opposed to metal like the vanilla meshes."
Not the first by a long shot, but nicely done, and worth a look. Elsopa's and Lupus' versions are more colorful, but these have a more rustic and weathered look. This one gets a cookie.
Kanjs - Soup and Stew All In One Animated
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/113104
"I added remeshes and retextured all the soup and stew, butter, and fondue up to 4K with some animated smoke and bubbles!" (At least these don't also glow )
The pictures tell the tale. Very 2D looking with no depth to the normal mapping at all. They may steam and bubble, but they still look more like a floating a picture than the stew/soup. Nice effort, nice textures, needs new normal maps. Thanks
We'll finish up with Stacks of Septims - 3d Coin Piles by wSkeever
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/113071
"3D coin piles" LOL a man of few words indeed. This will work with your chosen coin texture. This is a major improvement over the vanilla 'piles', and will make a major difference in several locations. A certain cursed pirate treasure in Solsteim comes to mind.
The old cat is calling this an instant download and worth it's cookies. Endorsed, 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-B-Open!

"I added remeshes and retextured all the soup and stew, butter, and fondue up to 4K with some animated smoke and bubbles!" (At least these don't also glow )
The pictures tell the tale. Very 2D looking with no depth to the normal mapping at all. They may steam and bubble, but they still look more like a floating a picture than the stew/soup. Nice effort, nice textures, needs new normal maps. Thanks
We'll finish up with Stacks of Septims - 3d Coin Piles by wSkeever
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/113071
"3D coin piles" LOL a man of few words indeed. This will work with your chosen coin texture. This is a major improvement over the vanilla 'piles', and will make a major difference in several locations. A certain cursed pirate treasure in Solsteim comes to mind.
The old cat is calling this an instant download and worth it's cookies. Endorsed, 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-B-Open!

Goood Morning Tamriel!
Ah'vrie wishes you well. It is Middas the 6th of First Seed, and a chilly 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 boil.
Our brew of the day is Cape Town lungo, and the biscuits are Bordeaux. Checking the hot sheets we have 44 new with lots of jiggle as always. Let's see what catches the eye that doesn't have a cup size.
BERSERK69096 released Shrinked Texutres FREE-VRAM FPS 128X128 as a first mod Welcome
No link needed. This one needs a real computer.
yoshiki61 released Fairytale - Picture Books and Book Shoppe
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/112949
"Thanks to the author, unico, for giving me the permission to translate this mod into English and publish it on Nexus, and to the great pioneers who contacted unico."
An interesting back story... This was an old mod by Unico, that was never released in English, and is no longer available. The mod includes 9 childrens 'picture books' all illustrated by Unico. yoshiki61 has updated it for SSE and added a shop to sell the books near Riverwood.
Looking at the stories and beautiful illustrations, this is an immediate download for the old cat and a two cookie mod. endorsed.
A couple of new dialog additions today...
AdamDunmer released Dialogue Expansion - Imperial Soldiers
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/113208
"This mod adds 150+ lore-friendly lines of dialogue to Imperial soldiers across Skyrim!" Uses Elevenlabs for dialog generation. This adds quite a bit of NPC to NPC chatter. The devines know the CW quest line can certainly use the help
Jonx0r released Extended Bandit Dialogue
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/113168
"Extended Bandit Dialogue gives bandits new idle, notice corpse, and combat taunt lines. It does so using speech synthesis (Tortoise TTS + Retrieval-based Voice Conversion) to add new lines of dialogue in a way that should (hopefully) be almost indistinguishable from the original voice acting."
"This mod doesn't include any script files so there shouldn't be any issues adding or removing it mid-playthrough. New dialogue is set up in its own quest so it should work well alongside other mods that also affect bandit dialogue."
The old cat is unfamiliar with Tortoise TTS, but if the video is any indication It's a shame as modders we can't afford to hire the original voice actors. In a perfect world... Anyway, this is seriously worth a listen, and a cookie. Downloaded
Lets see... Savvy's Ragged Flagon Bedroom
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/113194
"Adds an extra bedroom to the Ragged Flagon, separate from the other beds." Supposed to be Brynjolf's room, and is nicely cluttered. The player can use it as well. Thanks
Ash Yam 2K-8K by iimlenny
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/113217
"This is a Mesh and Texture Replacer for Skyrims Ash Yams in 2K-8K" Why not? Thanks
FrankBlack released slightly Better Nordic Burial Cairns
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/113184
"A mesh replacer that improves the shape of the rocks on the Nordic burial cairns found around Skyrim while keeping to the vanilla style. It also has UV fixes and separates the rocks which were stuck into each other in the vanilla mesh."
They are definitely 'slightly better' LOL. Uses Mindflux's stone wall textures, and includes a mossy version as well. The old cat finds the 'darker earth' below the Cairns hard to ignore, but thanks. We love choice.
That about does it for today. We'll finish up with one the old cat would probably not use.
kpvw released an SKSE plugin that quadruples the subtitle lines to allow you to see more of the background chatter.
Subtitles
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/113214

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/113285
"Rebalances the health of all NPCs in the game, increasing health of low level NPCs and reducing health of high level NPCs." Your game your way. This takes a contrarian approach to the 'deleveled world' crowd. If you want stronger bandits and weaker bosses here you go. Again, not for old cats, but an Interesting approach, thanks.

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/113284
"2K BC7 textures and normal map, no ESP. Safe to install/uninstal at any time." Definitely one of their better replacers. This looks ready to grill. Worth a look and a cookie. The old cat will be cherry picking some of this ones textures in his next build. Tracking

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/113291
"Scratch made parallax texture to bring the beloving True Nordic Farmhouses some bumpy looking." Not the most elegant prose, but surprisingly well done parallax textures, with well balanced tessellation. So nice to see textures like this with no vertical stretching. This is seriously worth a look, and a cookie. Tracking this one as well. Beautiful work

Painted Torment - Quest Mod by nimwraith
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/113177
"Painted Torment is a quest mod based around one NPC, Vane, and his pursuit of perfection when creating his magnum opus. The player will be tasked by Vane to gather various ingredients from all over Skyrim for Vane to crush into specific pigments. While a simple premise, the quest features a much deeper story for both Vane and the painting he is creating."
This is their 11th non shattered skyrim quest mod. While it's a simple fetch quest, the old cat finds the voice acting well done, and the story line... just enough mystery to make you want to bother helping the artist. Something different, worth watching the video.

Ah'vrie wishes you well. it is Fredas the 8th of Frist seed and thank the divines the weekend is nigh. The blessed moons are waning through the final crescents and will be gibbous tomorrow.

Anyway, it's 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...
Are brew of the day... well it's what ever the old cat grabbed with shut eyes... smooth well balanced with delicate chocolate notes and a long finish...

spdude released Secrets of Smithing as a first mod. welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/113517
"You start out with only the knowledge on how to smith an iron dagger. Your crafting menu is devoid of any weapons and armor aside from this simple starter weapon. You will have to actively seek out crafting manuals to further unlock additional smithing recipes. Crafting manuals for iron weapons and armors can be bought for a reasonable price at blacksmiths located in major cities or Riverwood. Crafting manuals for tiers higher than iron can be found in boss chests..."
While Ah'vrie likes the concept, locking recipes behind (player) leveled lists as opposed to smithing skill level is patently silly to this old cat, but your game your way. Thanks
scordj released Vlistic Enb as a first SSE mod. Welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/113572
"This ENB tries to retain as much as possible the original developer's vision of the game. It is balance without too bright nor dark areas with weathers matching the vanilla look."
This is a recreation of their Oldrim ENB brought to SSE. It has a very nice pallet, but to the old cat's eye it's a little over saturated which gives it a slight fantasy feel, but only just... Worth a look, nicely done. Includes no weather integration. Intended for the vanilla game
nesslowland released four new mods today
https://www.nexusmods.com/users/1664874 ... files&BH=0
Two caught the eye... Simple Wearable Lanterns - Give To Player (at game start) and Delayed Courier Quest, Which prevents the courier from delivering letters until a configurable level. (This last one gets a cookie... Ah'vrie may use this one) tracking
Monitor144hz released Horse Behaviour Improvements
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/113535
"SKSE plugin + horse behaviour mod that adds leaning to horse riding based on slope angle, and does minor pose adjustments for horse creatures."
Requires either Nemesis or Pandora as this is a behavior modification not an animation. Honestly if you've ever ridden a horse you know unnatural it is to take a hill without leaning to help the horse balance. This is a sleeper 3 cookie mod to those that actually prefer using a horse in game like the old cat does. This is also the point of no return for old cats... Goodbye FNIS, you were great in your day, but the old cat finally 'needs' to add behaviors to his animation stack. (The old cats next build is going to be quite interesting)
fxckthisworld released High Quality Ivy Replacer - Base Object Swapper
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/113578
"Replaces ivy meshes and textures. No performance cost. Supports Base Object Swapper."
Okay, to the old cat's eye this is the most natural looking ivy texture/mesh he's seen period. Textures are 4K with 2K normals, but there's a 2K option as well, and includes a total of 12 meshes when used with BOS. This one gets a cookie, instant download for the old cat, he nabbed the animated version yes he did.
Lets see... Clofas released Whispering Tomes of Apocrypha
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/113423
"Utilizes Sound Record Distributor to revamp the sounds of Apocrypha. Highly modular FOMOD installer included! Optional Base Object Swapper file to swap out sound markers."
This is their 8th SRD based mod, and easily their most advanced. You're going to want to go through the whole mod page. This FOMOD is very advanced and well written. 2 cookies, and another author the old cat is tracking. Thanks
And finally, our mod of the day, Sound the trumpets and summon the dancers...
WiZkiD Hunter's Camp Overhaul
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/113558
"This mod is a complete overhaul of all Skyrim hunter's camps, both in terms of aesthetics and hunters AI."
"WiZkiD Hunter's Camp Overhaul modifies hunter's camps in a simple and minimally invasive way, making those places more detailed and unique and above all, livable for the hunters who live there, furthermore you will no longer see a hunter sitting on a stump doing nothing 24 hours a day."
The pictures tell the tale... Available in 4K and 2K. Another instant download 2 cookies.

"This ENB tries to retain as much as possible the original developer's vision of the game. It is balance without too bright nor dark areas with weathers matching the vanilla look."
This is a recreation of their Oldrim ENB brought to SSE. It has a very nice pallet, but to the old cat's eye it's a little over saturated which gives it a slight fantasy feel, but only just... Worth a look, nicely done. Includes no weather integration. Intended for the vanilla game
nesslowland released four new mods today
https://www.nexusmods.com/users/1664874 ... files&BH=0
Two caught the eye... Simple Wearable Lanterns - Give To Player (at game start) and Delayed Courier Quest, Which prevents the courier from delivering letters until a configurable level. (This last one gets a cookie... Ah'vrie may use this one) tracking
Monitor144hz released Horse Behaviour Improvements
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/113535
"SKSE plugin + horse behaviour mod that adds leaning to horse riding based on slope angle, and does minor pose adjustments for horse creatures."
Requires either Nemesis or Pandora as this is a behavior modification not an animation. Honestly if you've ever ridden a horse you know unnatural it is to take a hill without leaning to help the horse balance. This is a sleeper 3 cookie mod to those that actually prefer using a horse in game like the old cat does. This is also the point of no return for old cats... Goodbye FNIS, you were great in your day, but the old cat finally 'needs' to add behaviors to his animation stack. (The old cats next build is going to be quite interesting)
fxckthisworld released High Quality Ivy Replacer - Base Object Swapper
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/113578
"Replaces ivy meshes and textures. No performance cost. Supports Base Object Swapper."
Okay, to the old cat's eye this is the most natural looking ivy texture/mesh he's seen period. Textures are 4K with 2K normals, but there's a 2K option as well, and includes a total of 12 meshes when used with BOS. This one gets a cookie, instant download for the old cat, he nabbed the animated version yes he did.
Lets see... Clofas released Whispering Tomes of Apocrypha
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/113423
"Utilizes Sound Record Distributor to revamp the sounds of Apocrypha. Highly modular FOMOD installer included! Optional Base Object Swapper file to swap out sound markers."
This is their 8th SRD based mod, and easily their most advanced. You're going to want to go through the whole mod page. This FOMOD is very advanced and well written. 2 cookies, and another author the old cat is tracking. Thanks
And finally, our mod of the day, Sound the trumpets and summon the dancers...
WiZkiD Hunter's Camp Overhaul
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/113558
"This mod is a complete overhaul of all Skyrim hunter's camps, both in terms of aesthetics and hunters AI."
"WiZkiD Hunter's Camp Overhaul modifies hunter's camps in a simple and minimally invasive way, making those places more detailed and unique and above all, livable for the hunters who live there, furthermore you will no longer see a hunter sitting on a stump doing nothing 24 hours a day."
The pictures tell the tale... Available in 4K and 2K. Another instant download 2 cookies.
And that will do for today. The fires are stoked, the kettles scrubbed, and the floors are swept and mopped. Have a seat and the wenches will serve you. We-Be-Open!
