Modding on the SpectrumGooooood Morning Tamriel!
Ah'vrie wishes you well. It is Tirdas the 17th of Hearthfires and a very quiet predawn here on warm sands. The blessed moons are full tonight, you have been warned. The goddess' crazy puppies will be out in force the next few days. Stay safe out there. 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 brought to a boil...
Our brew of the day is Istanbul espresso, and the biscuits are Tate's lemon. Checking the hot sheets we have 46 new with plenty of jiggles, dangles, patches, and pointy sticks. Let's see what catches the eye this day over a fresh cuppa...
GaiusFatCat released Pimped Up Rocks 2.0 SE as a first mod. Welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/129246
Uncompressed 8K textures, The old cat is not thrilled with the look of the weathered limestone in the AIO version, Version 3 has the choice of three colors and sharper normals.
Expect some feedback as the mod is tested in general use. Probably best to hold off a little while. The old cat expects a few changes / updates. It is a first mod. Very ambitious
Almalesbian released Immersive Lore Friendly AddItemMenu as a second mod
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/129380
"Renames the items and spells in the lovely AddItemMenu to ensure an immersive lore friendly experience!" ... Calling it a summons is less cheaty? Ooookay...
HalfbitShirlock released Imperial Castles of Skyrim
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/129327
"A complete design revamp of every Imperial fort, tower, and ruin in Skyrim, using a new tileset and hand-placed assets. A Northern Fortifications series mod" Sounds important right? ... They added crenelations to the fort tile sets. Now the common forts look a little more like fort dawnguard. Not a bad look actually. It looks much better on the towers than the walls, but worth a look. Thanks
And that will do for today. The fires are stoked yada yada, We-B-Open!

Re: Coffee with an old Khajiit
Goooooood Morning Tamriel!
Ah'vrie wishes you well. It is Middas the 18th of Hearthfires and another quiet predawn here on warm sands. The blessed moons are gibbous and have set, but don't put those silver weapons away until the weekend. The moons are still to close to full for an old cat's comfort.
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 brought to a boil...
Our brew of the day is from India, and the biscuits are chocolate chunk. Checking the hot sheets we have 43 new with a few new modders taking center stage today... Always fun
Linkmaster13 released LM13 - Item Collection Tracking as a first mod. Welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/129521
"This mod adds a way to automatically track the items you have collected in an external spreadsheet." This is what happens when OCD hooks up with too much free time LOL. Ah'vrie thinks this one has had the museum in their load order far too long
Thanks
KidNicaris released Dwarven Item Crafting as a first mod. Welcome.
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/129494
"This mod adds the ability to craft Dwemer cogs and gear at the forges. Combine them to make gyros and add rubies to gyros to create Centurion cores." Sooo, you can now craft Dwemer clutter, and the recipes require other recipes... What were we saying about tedium not equaling immersion?
CandyGrl24 released Whiterun's Corner as a first mod. Welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/129462
"Whiterun's Corner is a small atmospheric open place to stay for lonely adventurer" The old cat can't tell from the pics if this was the vanilla abandoned farm house on the road past the western watchtower or the author added one. This would honestly make a great starter place for a poor adventurer in a scarcity economy build. It does look like 'gathered' furniture. Okay, this one gets a cookie.
DoUevenCHIMbro released Another AI Slop Texture Pack as a second mod in 6 years
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/129471
"Upscaled Textures
" "I didn't like any of the existing upscales packs, so I just made my own" "I'll post screenshots and comparisons when I can be bothered"
A mishmash of upscaled textures using BC7 compression. This is a WIP that so far includes only architecture. I hope they decide to get serious and update the mod page accordingly. Some of the pics look good, but there's not enough to be recommended yet. Thanks
And finally last but... well it's last anyway
SKYKLF released SKYKLFS ALCHEMIST SHACK OVERHUAL.
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/129520
"This mod will create a quest for you to discover the fate of the Alchemist so that you may repair and claim his shack for your own." Not their first mod, but it is their first quest mod.
This one usually makes castles, and they tried to turn the shack into one LOL. Out buildings, a windmill, apiary, and a well... Real estate prices must be up in the rift. Now wandering alchemists are flipping homes Your game your way.
And that will do for today. The fires are stoked, the kettles scrubbed, and the floors are... Where did Ah'vrie put that bloody mop. We-B-Open!

Re: Coffee with an old Khajiit
Gooooooood Morning Tamriel!
Ah'vrie wishes you well. It is Turdas the 19th of Hearthfires, and divines be praised, the tyranny of the sun is broken, and open window weather has returned to Elswyer. It is a small thing perhaps, but this one sleeps much better with a cool night breeze. 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 brought to a boil...
Our brew of the day is Capetown Lungo, and the biscuits are Tate's lemon cookies. Checking the hot sheets we have 39 new mods, mostly jiggles and patches. Let's see what catches the eye over a fresh cuppa... Maybe two
Jilvane released No Food or Ingredients in Barrels and Sacks
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/129616
"This mod involves removing foodstuffs and some ingredients from ordinary containers such as barrels, sacks, bags, crates and other such mundane objects." Their second mod, and not the first. Simply makes food items less available when playing in survival mode. Thanks
BansheePanda released Northern Roads - Remix as a second mod
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/129603
"Northern Roads is a wonderful mod, but I've never been the biggest fan of all the clutter it adds. So I took it upon myself to try and make a replacer that only has the roads." Original mod required of course. Thanks
Enodoc released A Steward for Dawnstar
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/129588
"Dawnstar's Housecarl will now also serve as Steward for any quests which require that position." A tiny mod that addresses the fact that Dawnstar has no steward. So basically the Jarl's housecarl will sign the bounty letters. It's the little things that matter thanks
Glanzer released two today
https://next.nexusmods.com/profile/Glan ... ameId=1704
Both address things that glow where they shouldn't based on soft subsurface scattering. for use with or without an ENB. This has bothered many, including certain old cats, tracking to add to Ah'vrie's next build. Have a cookie.
knightradiant2 released Pearls and Clams - Base Object Swapper
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/129611
"Replaces clams, oysters, and pearls with new high poly versions! Uses Base Object Swapper to randomly distribute the new models across Skyrim and Solstheim."
Seems a bit overkill not to simply do a replacer, but this mod uses BOS to randomly distribute new models of each. Why not? Thanks
Let's see... markuskarttunen1 released Disabling of Decals - Forgotten Vale
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/129567
"Removes the wacky decals off from the surface of the Frozen Lake in the Forgotten Vale - No more burning ice and dirty dragon feet." Well they are silly LOL, Thanks, have a cookie
and we'll finish up with Dynamic Cubemaps - Additions by imnotfamous
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/129583
"Some additional Dynamic Cubemaps based on Physically Based database." Adds gold, marble, and limestone cubemaps. Thanks
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!
