Modding on the SpectrumGooooood Morning Tamriel!
Ah'vrie wishes you well. It is Morndas the 28th of Frostfall, and another beautiful predawn here on warm sands. Wage slaves lament, the weekend is over. Hide if you can, or work if you must, it's Morndas again. The blessed moons are waning through the final crescents and will be new this Fredas Which will mean a long weekend of celebrating for the hunters again. 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 flame...
Our brew of the day is Kahawa ya Congo, and the biscuits are oatmeal cranberry. Checking the hot sheets we have 52 new mods 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... maybe two
FreakishFriday released a whitrun has walls/ JKs patch as a first mod. Welcome. Seeing as we already have a warning from the author, and a vote of no confidence from Iso, this one gets no link, and no cookie. But thanks. Next time publish after testing...
zjbrackin released New Game Start Sound Remover as a first mod. Welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/132484
"Removes the obnoxiously loud nordic shout upon starting a new game. Your ears will thank you later." LOL, I like this one's style. Thanks, have a cookie
eight92 released iFavor Set To Zero - No More Freebies
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/132463
"If you do something for an NPC, shop owner or a bartender for example, they like you SO MUCH, you're able to take half their stuff for free. Not anymore you ain't."
Well you can't fault the logic, but this is a bit draconian as all values are set to 0. Thanks, of course you could try role playing and not steal from your friends... Just saying.
PuneumaSigne released two today
https://next.nexusmods.com/profile/Pune ... ameId=1704
Light a Campfire with Magic, and Always with a Dwemer Cooker
This one is still creating their own version of campfire piece by piece. To be honest, the old cat is not thrilled with the fire mechanic. Wood is not consumed and you can pack it up and reuse it. The cooking pot is Dwemer and requires the Dwemer smithing perk to make... What you're going to cook on until you take that perk? good question. Pass
The old cat is covering this mod, but with a warning... NOT RECOMMENDED!
Shizof released Time Multiplier Changer NG
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/132153
"Slow down or speed up time based on conditions. This is an skse plugin mod to change Global Time Multiplier on the fly based on conditions like mounted, sprinting, on carriage, dialogue, bow drawing etc. both in and out of combat separately. Includes optional perk requirements. Works on all game versions SE/AE/VR."
Shizof is an experienced author, and the mod hopefully works as intended. The warning is not about the mod, it's for the user. This has value in a large build with heavy script loads to correct issues with lip-sync, vendor timing... etc., but if you don't know exactly what it is you're correcting and why, this mod is not for you. Written for VR but works on all game versions. Thanks
sothasimp released On The Mend - A Healing Altar Replacer
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/132172
"A comfier version of the healing altars at the Temple of Kynareth in Whiterun, as requested. High poly with 2k textures, low poly optional" Not the first to put a pad on the altar. There are nicer versions of this already available, but the old cat sort of likes that these look less permanent, like you can remove them to have them washed... Thanks
GeraldMods released Icy Stalhrim Source - Base Object Swapper
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/132495
"This mod transforms the Stalhrim Source into Ice Ruins" The concept is reasonable, the implementation maybe bot so much. The affected walls are vertical, and the rocks above them are not ice covered, The railing supports are ice covered, but not the horizontal railing itself? Your game your way. Not for old cats but thanks
We'll finish up with Stupidly High Poly Namira Statue by HasphatAntobolis
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/132487
"I give you a ridiculously high poly shrine of Namira. The chain is now 3d, and the bumps and cracks are in the geometry now. It is not perfect yet, so I will probably have an update later to correct some things I wish were a little better. Comes with 4k textures."
I guess even evil daedric princes need a little love. 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 warn your bones. We-B-Open!

Gooooooood Morning Tamriel!
It is Tirdas the 29th of Frostfall. We have survived another Morndas witch is always a victory for this one. 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 brought to a boil...
Our brew of the day is Cape Town Lungo, and the biscuits are Lemon cookies. Checking the hot sheets we have 43 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.
STGAMPLE spammed us with 7 today, Some are re-releases of mods they made years ago
https://next.nexusmods.com/profile/STGA ... ameId=1704
Not for old cats but thanks
Retrophyx released Graveyards of the Tundra SE -ESL
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/132599
"Decorate your empty Tundra Region with Spooky atmospheric Gravesites"
Just in time for all hallows eve... Boo!
Skyking Lockpick Textures
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/132590
"This is a retexture of the base game lockpick interface covering the lock, lockpick, and shiv." A very nice update to the vanilla textures. The old cat prefers something with a few more scratches... Makes it easier to remember where you were when a pick breaks.
dbs156 released Auriel's Bow - Archery Scaling
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/132576
"Sun damage from Auriel's Bow increases by 1% per level of Archery skill. Infinite enchantment charge." "Inspired by my Dawnbreaker mod. I made a plugin to give the same damage scaling to Auriel's Bow."
Honestly the old cat prefers this type of buff to a simply making base weapons OP. A buffs a buff, but this one gets a cookie
Mind of Madness - Lulu's Sheogorath replacer
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/131186
DementedLulu's take on Uncle Sheo... Like the eye, but the far head makes the face look a little... scrunched. This Sheo looks like he needs a good laxative. Definitely worth a look.
And we'll finish up with a simple QOL addition for Sketchbook.
Adventurer's Sketchbook - Notify Location by sinzzzz
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/132565
"You will be notified when you enter a good location for sketching. For the forgetful. And to me." Just a reminder for when you're in the thick of things and not thinking about your art... Why not? Have a cookie and thanks
And that will do for today. The fires are stoked, the kettles scrubbed, and the floors are swept. Have a seat and the wenches will serve you. We-B-open!

Re: Coffee with an old Khajiit
Goooooooood morning Tamriel!
It is Middas the 30th of Frostfall and a very chilly predawn here on warm sands. The blessed moons are all but invisible as the festival of the new moons happens to begin on all hallows eve, and concludes with the feast of Samhain. A very rare and potentially very spooky occurrence. 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 Inspirazione a Kazaar, and of course we have fresh biscuits courtesy of Morrev. Checking the hot sheets we have 41 new mods Mostly patches today. Let's see what catches the eye of an old cat over a fresh cuppa.
MycrosoftContin released Edible Wine Bottles as a first mod. Welcome.
Oh joy, you can eat glass and damage yourself. Files were flagged as suspicious, no link.
Escutcheon128 released Shrink Those Moons
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/132703
"Adjust the size of Skyrim's moons, with several options ranging from 10% to 90% of default vanilla values." This is their second mod. The first removed the moons completely. Ah'vrie thinks this one is a werewolf trying to hide in Skyrim.
GeminiVoid released Hero's Rest - Player Castle and Settlement
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/132692
Oh goody, another empty house the size of Dawnstar for you to get lost in instead of playing the game. Thanks? moving right along
sothasimp released Redoran Reverie - A Dunmer Furniture Replacer
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/132695
"Dunmer noble furniture, as a replacer or BOS distribution. Mid to high poly with 2k textures." They released the beds previously, this completes the furniture swap for Dunmer nobility on Solsteim. Definitely worth a look. Compatible with Rally's Dark elf furniture/AIO
markuskarttunen1 released Noteworthy Trees Uniquefied
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/132712
"Makes some tree models unique and gives them a special look."
Actually read that as removes the bark and small branches from the tree in the arch mage quarters, and Nchuand-Zel. They went for a metallic look in Nchuand-Zel, which is interesting but doesn't fit the narrative in the journals. Looks good. Thanks
And finally, a few new journals to read during your travels.
Memorable Stories by nimwraith
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/132691
"A collection of various horror stories scattered around various locations within Skyrim." One is even narrated. 5 current journals to find in a video on the mod page, but the only included files were facegen data so the old cat is a little confused, the mod page does not mention adding an NPC, I think one of the journals is accompanied by a dead body?. Well it is Halloween
And that will do for today. The fires are stoked, yada yada. We-B-Open!

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/132784

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/132802
"It's Halloween friends! Enjoy this small enchantable treat, meant to work with Staff Enchanting." Because everyone will want a staff with a glowing pumpkin head LOL, Thanks, looks spooky
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
Goooooood Morning Tamriel!
Ah'vrie wishes you well. It is Loredas the 2nd of Sun's Dusk and wage slaves rejoice, the weekend has arrived. It's a very chilly predawn here on warm sands. The new moons have set, the Hunters are still celebrating, and it is 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. This gets a bit dusty, so you might want to cover your flagons for a bit... There, much better no? Ah'vrie always likes to start the weekend off with happy fires, and a happy fire needs to breathe. As his mother liked to say. 'A happy fire warms more than the room'
Our brew of the day is Inspirazione a Venezia, and the biscuits are Tate's chocolate chip. Checking the hot sheets we have 48 new, and it's a mostly jiggle day, but several caught the eye. let's dive in over a fresh cuppa...
We'll start off with our Googly challenged section following up on a conversation at the inn
Temper Everything - Improve More Items by yelldow
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/132918
"Minimal and scriptless - Adds smithing keyword conditions for many item types like AmorMaterialLeather and WeapMaterialWood to Steel Smithing, Elven Smithing, and Daedric Smithing. (Allows you to temper Nightingale armor up to Legendary!)"
This does not add new recipes, it just allows items you can already temper to be tempered up to legendary status. Why not. When added to a mod that gives XP for crafting, it actually becomes useful even for 'crap' armor and weapons.
Experience from mining tanning and smelting by TOFSIR
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/132881
"Now you can gain experience from mining, tanning and smelting!" Another for the pile
Smart Training NG by IbnMars
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/132894
"Carry over unused trainings to the next level. Customize the number of trainings added per level. ESL flagged."
This is actually an updated version of their 'simply smart training' mod, which they removed so this shows as their first mod... Welcome again. We'll add it to the pile again
Bards Instruments HQ Retexture by PixieBomb
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/132888
"HQ Retexture for the Lute, Drum, and Flute bard instruments..."
Actually the old cat wouldn't call this a retex as it changes none of the textures. It is a very slight improvement due to increased saturation and changing compression from BC1 to BC7. Thanks, but much too subtle. You'll never notice the improvement in game. AI upscalling plus BC7 would have been the better choice, but thanks for trying
Lets see... RoastGorilla439 is still trying to recreate cutting room floor
Granite Hill - Cut Content Restoration
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/117585
"This mod restores the village of Granite Hill." Thanks
Blubbos Apple Tree Replacer for JK Mods
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/132893
"an apple tree replacer for JK's Skyrim or JK's Whiterun Outskirts" Very tasty... thanks
Gremli's Lake Shack
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/132927
"Small house for player."
A person of few words LOL. Let the old cat expand just a tad... This mod adds a small lore friendly cabin on the shore of the lake below the Northgate inn. Simple, and lightly cluttered with crafting in the basement. This would make a very nice starter home for a Patron at the inn start at the Northgate Inn. An interesting location. Worth a look and a cookie. Thanks
mechanicalpanda released Vanilla Plus Weathers
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/132878
"For the vanilla plus junkies out there; I present to you a simple vanilla weather addon that enhances the rain, snow and ash storms, creates a variety for them and even adds rain in the Soul Cairn! Includes ESL-flagged seasonal and audio patches"
Originally this was an addon to Ebony ENB, but Panda decided to break it out so they could continue working on tne ENB itself. Adds 4 types of rain/snow/ash, with audio by Clofas. Provided as is with no patching... Semi compatible with other weather mods.
jenesisquoi released Cathedral - 3D Rocks - Smaller and Mountain Matching
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/132873
"Scaled down all the rockgrass meshes and changed the texture paths to use whatever mountainslab01 texture you already have installed."
Color the old cat impressed. A simple and eloquent solution to one of the ugliest vanilla meshes in the game. Makes the rock grass textures almost fade into the ground-cover textures, and they blend in much better. This one gets a cookie. Flagged for the old cat's next build.
And finally We'll finish with another unique staff by Ave.
Halldir's Staff by Ave
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/132540
"This mod replaces Halldir's staff with a unique animated model." Her work is always first rate and cookie worthy. This will be in the old cat's next build as well. Thanks.
And that will do for today. The Ale was delivered last night, and watching the airship navigate the mountain passes with the decks ablaze with torches in total darkness was quite a sight. The new batch of mead is ready, and we're serving Mudcrab scrambles for the early meal. Ah'vrie needs to visit the markets before planning the late meal.
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!

Re: Coffee with an old Khajiit
Gooooooood morning Tamriel!
Ah'vrie wishes you well. It is Sundas the 3rd of Sun's Dusk, and a quiet predawn here on warm sands. The blessed moons again continue the eternal journey to full, and we hope the goddess enjoyed her rest. The hunters are of course still drinking, but as long as the village stays fed who are we to complain. Besides, the stories get so much better after a few days of mead, and the cubs do love listening to the tales. 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 again Venezia, and the biscuits are oatmeal cranberry. Checking the hot sheets we have 60 new mods, with lot's of jiggles, dangles, patches, and pointy sticks. Let's see what catches the eye of an old cat over a fresh cuppa or two.
momuchi339 released Disable Starting Mapmarker
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/132948
"Would a traveler new to Skyrim have known where the city was located? This mod removes the map markers present from the start of the game."
Not the first, in fact this was based of a synthesis patcher mod. Load this high and allow it to be over written. Thanks, the concept does make sense. Added to the pile
Liseralla released Spare Drahff and Hewnon - Ratway Scene Restored
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/133014
"Now you can immersively presuade Drahff and Hewnon to let you pass. No need for unneccessary blood shed."
Similar to cutting room floor, but just the single scene as a standalone. Thanks
ak0d released Simple and Lightweight Taming
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/132991
" a small mod that allows you to tame hostile creatures through combat. The backend implementation was inspired by Simply Tame, although this mod is even simpler."
Now this gives the old cat some new ideas... Tame that pack of buffed red wolves added by Skytest above Halted stream camp, then walk into the camp with the pack in tow... Okay, this one has the old cat's whiskers twitching. Have a cookie.
Let's get to the good stuff...
markuskarttunen1 released Glorious Giant Clutter and fixes
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/133028
"Remodeling, retexturing and recollisioning various giant clutter. " Better textures, Higher poly, and fixed collisions? ... 2 cookies and tracking
olivierbest released Redoran Reverie x Dunmer Dreams Location Color Variance
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/132957
"Replace the ini file to distribute purple furniture to Tel Mithryn (Telvanni color), red furniture to Raven Rock(Redoran color) and Blue furniture to RetchingNetch."
This addresses the old cat's one concern over the original mod release. All the blankets were the same everywhere. Ah'vrie does wish there were also differing patterns. Thanks, You can have a cookie as well.
imnotfamous released Nordic Snow - Complex Material
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/133034
"Nordic Snow enhanced with Complex Material and Terrain Parallax" Make sure to read the mod page. Some assembly required.
Dustmo7e released Whiterun Interior Walls Painted
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/132968
"Texturises the interior wall type "A" or "low" in CK. This is the plank wall that appears in Breezehome."
Okay, This one has the old cat's eye. The stripped version looks great. The colors... Would depend on the users taste. Available in 2K only. (1K had visible pixelation and 4K showed no improvement) tracking for my next build. You get a cookie too.
rhonjhonson released two "make my mage OP" mods today.
https://next.nexusmods.com/profile/rhon ... ameId=1704
Homing projectiles, and low cost expert spells. Your game your way. Thanks
jenesisquoi released two today
https://next.nexusmods.com/profile/jene ... ameId=1704
Mari's Tundra berries as a BOS swap for dead shrubs so with no worldspace edits, and pine to oaks BOS version with a 25% chance... Thanks. Definitely worth a look
And finally... This one decided to fill a bloody page all at once LOL
BecomingNplus1 vanished for quite a while, now releases a dozen detailed landscape mods at once, and distributes simple wearable lanterns to NPCs
https://next.nexusmods.com/profile/Beco ... ameId=1704
Some of these are quite nice, all are BOS swaps. You'll want to look through them all individually.
And that will do for today. The eastern sky is coloring, so... The fires are stoked, the kettles scrubbed, and the floors are swept and mopped. Have a seat by the fires and warm your bones. Don't forget to tip the wenches, This one does not pay them nearly enough. We-B-Open!

Our brew of the day is Kazaar, and the biscuits are Ginger zingers. Checking the hot sheets we have 52 new mods from the usual suspects. Let's see what catches the eyes of an old cat over a fresh cuppa... Definitely a fresh cuppa, maybe two.
SarcasticDragon99 released SD's Seamless Sneak Transition and Idles OAR
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/133022
"A unisex OAR-based mod that adds one base sneak animation, with 8 additional variants, and one-of-a-kind transition animations between standing and sneaking, all hand crafted as part of my first animation project." Looks more like a prayer animation in the video LOL. Needs to be seen in game. Thanks, keep working at it.
Xtudo released optimized textures for Simple Wearable Lanterns - Remastered
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/133067
"Optional Ancient Dwemer Metal patch available. 4K-2K-1K."
Magus80Mods resurrected Camping Kit of the Northern Ranger
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/133115
"At last, a portable campsite that you can construct yourself! Position each item exactly where you want, and dig in for the night."
More importantly, Magus removed some of the buggier parts of the original LE mod including all changes to the economy. This is one of those mods that all comes down to taste and play style. If you want to take an hour to decorate your camp every time the sun goes down so be it, may the Divines bless you. If positioning and posing your characters are what matters to you. Go for it. Your game your way.
And finally we'll finish up with another in the quaint series by Rosehla
Quaint Refuge
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/133084
"Cozy, simple home to the southwest of Dawnstar, room for spouse and two followers."
Rosehla finally added one of her little houses based on the Hearthfires kits. Looks good. Unfortunately she included items from Hendraheim. It does have a couple of cots for followers, but nothing for kids. Worth a look.
Personally there's no way the old cat would pay for Hendraheim just for a couple of pillows LOL. Your game your way

Ah'vrie wishes you well. It is Middas the 6th of Sun's Dusk and a chilly predawn here on warm sands. The blessed moons have set and it is once again time to tend the inn. Excuse please while Ah'vrie stokes the fires and brings fresh water to the boil...
Our brew of the day is classic Ristretto, and the biscuits are oatmeal cranberry. Checking the hot sheets we have 38 new forma all the usual suspects. Let's dive right in.
Matrix2684 released OdinCheat as a first mod. Welcome.
Adds all the odin magic spells to a cheat chest in qasmoke. No link needed
Nerevarine0117 released Morrowind Warpaints as a second mod after a 4 year absence

"I ported some of Xenius old Morrowind Warpaints over to Skyrim SE." your game your way

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/133266
"Vanilla NPCs will greet each other, ask about each other's health and talk to your vanilla voiced followers. All using vanilla voice files. ESL flagged."
You'll want to read the mod page. Might be immersive, might just be more annoying.
wSkeever released Mehrunes Dagon Unique Shrine (BOS)
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/133264
"Swaps objects in Shrine of Mehrunes Dagon with unique ones."
Quite nice actually. All the containers now look like mini alters... etc., and the first era carved faces are now all Mehrunes. Nicely done. This one gets a cookie
Monitor221hz released Pandora Behaviour Engine Plus
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/133232
"Behaviour engine tool for patching Skyrim Nemesis/FNIS behaviour mods, with full creature support. Clean, responsive UI and error-tolerant, verbose patching. Supported on Windows/Linux/MacOS, open source and intended as an alternative to Nemesis."
Wow, version 2.4 and still in beta? This version should be backwards compatible with nemesis. Requires .Net 8.0 runtime
And that will do for today. The fires are stoked yada yada we-B-Open!

it is Tirdas the 5th of Sun's Dusk and congratulations on surviving another Morndas... Um, if you did of course. Moving right along. It is time once again for this one to tend the inn so excuse please while the fires are stoked, and fresh water is brought to a boil...
Our brew of the day is Insprirazione a Napoli, and the biscuits are currently in a heated election. We won't know the for hours, but currently sugar cookies has a slight lead. Checking the hot sheets we have 39 new mods with the usual eclectic mix of jiggles, patches, goofs, and the odd pointy stick. Let's have a look over a fresh cuppa.
Ffelix03 released Better Race Abilities as a first mod. Welcome
We'll see if there's any room left on the pile
cubefusion released Dude Where's My House as a first mod. Welcome

...? It just covers 4 vanilla houses. This one obviously never heard of xLodgen. Pass
ClainAlvim released Much Richer Merchants - ALL Versions - 2024
No link needed for this one. Obviously a sugar cookie supporter
dragoncosmico released a couple of texture mods that look vanilla or worse?
https://next.nexusmods.com/profile/drag ... ameId=1704
Not a clue... moving right along
Dustmo7e released two more versions of Whiterun Interior Walls Painted
https://next.nexusmods.com/profile/Dust ... ameId=1704
Brighter colors and new textures... Should have all been optional choices in the original mod, but what ever works.
HalfbitShirlock released Medieval Towers - Unique Civil War Forts
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/132923
"Adds new tower turret models unique to civil war forts and Helgen, with interiors for you to explore!" Your game your way
Let's get to the good stuff already... We do have a mod of the day
Lollia released Heart-To-Heart - Conversations Among Family
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/133173
"Featuring over 230 conversation scenes created from carefully spliced and re-purposed dialogue, Heart-To-Heart seeks to liven up your family."
The second video is basically all audio examples. and the old cat recommends a listen. A lot of work went into this, and it's spliced not AI. It's hard to tell the timing from the samples without visuals, but it definitely adds a lot of content. For those that like big families this one is definitely worth a listen. 2 cookies and tracking
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!
