Modding on the SpectrumGooooooood Morning Tamriel!
Ah'vrie wishes you well. It is Turdas the 25th of Hearthfires 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 flame...
Our brew of the day is Inspirazione a Venezia, and the biscuits are fudge brownie cookies. Checking the hot sheets we have 40 new mods from the usual sources. Mostly jangle and patches today. Let's see what catches the eye over a fresh cuppa or two.
Fernvud released SunHelm - Reskin Skill Tree as a first mod. Welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/159971
"A simple reskin of the beloved SunHelm skill tree" in two flavors. Thanks
aherk released Nightingale Hall Scene Fixes
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/159973
"Karliah won't open the gate? Now you can open it! Also fixes dialog to make sense and characters to walk faster."
You'll want to read the mod page. Fixes quite a few things and has requirements.
MyrandaMiller91 released Wolf Armor Craftable and Sleek Light Wolf Armor Crafting...
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/159977
"Gives the Companions' Wolf Armor a crafting recipe, and edits the Sleek Light Wolf Armor (standalone) crafting recipe to make more sense, lore-wise."
Requires sleek wolf armor, but does not have a requirements section. Wolf pelts for wolf armor does make more sense. Thanks, but you need to work on the mod pages Myranda.
DEEJMASTER333 released USSEP Marked for Death Audio Fix Restored
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/159958
"Restores the audio fix for the Marked for Death shout that was erroneously removed from USSEP." Actually it sounds more like the audio files were accidentally compressed in the last update. This is a temp fix until the team has a chance to sort it out. If you don't use the marked for death shout you don't need this.
And finally Milandriel - Auri Patch by Julio005
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/160001
If you use the Milandriel mod, this places Auri there, instead of Falkreath. Her Falkreath pod is still there but occupied by others. 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!

Re: Coffee with an old Khajiit
Gooooooood Morning Tamriel!
Ah'vrie wishes you well. It is Fredas the 26th of Hearthfires, and thank the divines, the weekend is nigh. 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 flame...
Our brew of the day is Capetown Lungo, and the biscuits are fudge brownie cookies. Checking the hot sheets we have 37 new mods from the mix of sources. Let's dive right in
AthelwulfSkol released Salt Removal for RND as their first mod. Welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/160012
"Removes the salt requirements in recipes edited by Realistic Needs and Diseases, as well as some additions it makes, such as mead and ale"
Not the first, and this only edits the added RND recipes. Thanks
wbell03 released Fix Cave Exit Mesh as their second mod.
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/160043
"Cave exits are hideous. You cant avoid starting at this ugly mesh anytime you leave a cave. It reminds you that you are playing a game from the stone age. I fixed them by matching the trimming with the ground texture. Blending for the win. Download and overwrite.
Enjoy
"
If you're using proper textures you probably don't need this. The author is getting tips in the posts. Let's call this a work in progress.
pixelartpeach released Hrothgar Soups - A Gourd Soup Mod
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/160048
"Just a handful of simple soups based on Yeto's soup in Zelda: Twilight Princess. It's upgradable!"
Like the concept, unfortunately the author did not add proper survival / sunhelm / Ineed / RND / frostfall keywords, so more or less limited to a non-needs based game.
quietlychamil released Consistent Elderly Women
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/160039
"Makes vanilla elderly women look consistently old with templates"
"This very simple mod uses templates to redirect their looks to another elderly female that does use the elderly race and so should look old in your game. I also gave them all hats to hide any fancy hairs you might have given them."
The old cat does not like the implementation. Or having racecompatibility as a requirement. But that's just a feeling. Grain of salt, needs testing. Consistent older people works just fine.
Lets see... AllieWadeMods released AW High Poly Male Housecarls Skypatched
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/159751
Boy toys need love too. Thanks
runescapebot released Companions - Njada and Ria Replacer
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/160029
Interesting... 20 somethings with really bad mascara Why not?
And finally Reduced Shout Cooldowns SE port by rhonjhonson
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/160061
"Reduces shout cooldowns, but doesnt erase them completly like other mods"
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 Loredas the 27th of Hearthfires and another quiet predawn here on warm sands. It is once again time for this one to tend the inn, so excuse please while the ash pits are emptied, then vents cleared, and the fires rebuilt. This can get a tad dusty, so you may wish to cover your tankards for a bit... There, much better no? Now to put fresh water to the flame while the kettles are scrubbed, and the floors are swept and mopped...
Our brew of the day is from Indonesia, and the biscuits are Sweet Loren's chocolate chunk. Checking the hot sheets we have 39 new in the usual eclectic mix of jangles, patches, and pointy sticks. Let's see what catches an old cat's eye over a fresh cuppa or two.
VampireFromBravil released Bookworm Redduces Study Time in Gate to Sovngarde
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/160112
"For Gate to Sovngarde, it never made sense that the Bookworm trait didn't have a study time reduction. This small mod aims to change that. Study time is reduced."
GTS would not be a hard requirement, but immersive spell learning and biggie traits would be. Thanks, this is a reasonable patch.
JohnTheJohner released Telekinetic Spell Pack
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/160099
"Vanilla friendly collection of telekinetic-themed spells. Why should Vampire Lords have all the fun grabbing people? Unleash your inner Jedi and make Nazeem rue the day he climbed the Cloud District stairs." LOL, Not saying a word... looks like fun
lilebonymace released Thieves Guild Holdup
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/160024
"Improves the random encounter when a thief tries to rob you or gives you a gift if you're in Thieves Guild or Nightingale armor." Thanks, these little bits of added immersion do add up.
toostruus released Fire Dragon for Dragons SE
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/160109
"This is a recoloring of 4thUnknown's Frost Dragon from Dragons SE.
To have it compatible with mods like Dragon Leveled List Fixes and USSEP Frost and Fire Dragon Correction."
TOOOOS! What can an old cat say. Great choice of model
And we'll finish up with Bathing in Skyrim - Wash Me - Renewed by MrStrangeT
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/160032
"You can ask follower to wash your back."
You know, you have to keep your priorities straight. LOL, that kind of morning
And that will do for today. The ale was delivered on time last night, and the new batch of mead is ready. We're serving mudcrab scrambles for the early meal, and ale braised sabercat for the late meal. There will be a kettle of stew simmering all day as well for those that need to ward the chill. We-B-Open!

Re: Coffee with an old Khajiit
Goooooooood Morning Tamriel!
Ah'vrie wishes you well. It is Sundas the 28th of Hearthfires and it would seem the storm that blew through last evening took most of the humidity with it. It's a beautiful predawn here on warm sands. The windows are open, and there is a cool breeze. Kynereth smiles this morning. Anyway, the blessed moons have set and it's past time this one tended the inn. Excuse please while the fires are stoked, and fresh water is put to the flame...
Our brew of the day is Inspirazione a Venezia, and the biscuits are Ginger. Checking the hot sheets we have 53 new mods in the usual eclectic mix. Let's see what catches an old cat's eye that doesn't jiggle over a fresh cuppa, or two.
Fernvud re-skinned two more skill trees. Thanks
https://next.nexusmods.com/profile/Fern ... ameId=1704
TheKraken86 released Conversations Raise Speechcraft - Synthesis
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/160105
Uses AndrealletiusVIII's 'Conversations Raise Speechcraft', as a base for scripts, and Synthesis to apply them. This one will not poke, but with near 6x the number of patched dialogs lines, this one wonders how much Xp you get for farting.
theton618 released Agent Bonus Tweaks for Mara and Dibella
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/160114
A reasonable buff of Mara to 25% magic resistance, but epic fail on Dibella. 25 points to 'H/M/S'? It should have buffed speech. Your game your way.
SkyHorizon3 released No Google Maps Skyrim
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/147105
"Skyrim will turn 14 this year, so time to finally change how the map works and see how well you know your way around Skyrim. Skyrim will no longer have a GPS system, so you will have to navigate using the landscape or locations."
It changes quite a bit, make sure to read the mod page. The old cat likes the concept, but chooses to play with the hud off completely. Configured via INI file. Thanks
Moving on to real estate and a fresh cuppa...
Aezandris released Riverwood - A few tweaks
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/160140
Ferns and grass growing out of 'farm house' thatched roofs, puts the smith in a cage, and adds ivy... Oh, and chimneys. including the center of the inn roof? Oookay. Thanks
braxusx released Riften Docks Redux
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/160143
"An extension addon for the Riften Docks that also includes your own personal camping area near Merryfair Farm, among other things."
"What started out as a personal project of mine for my mod list eventually turned into an obsession."
Well... It should have been called braxusx does Laketown. LOL This will mess with so many mods. Including CFTO, and fishing. Makes the canal gates a joke as both sides are now blocked... What's not to like This one gets a soggy cookie
W1terr released More mushrooms (A.K.A Pandora)
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/160146
"Want Falkreath to feel more like a magical forest? This mod adds more mushrooms for extra fantasy vibes. ESL-flagged" Your game your way
TheOneTrueFuzzBeed released Man's Best Friend - A Meeko's Shack Overhaul
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/160130
"Man's Best Friend is an attempt to add much needed life into one of the most iconic minor locations in all of Skyrim. Finally, Meeko the dog has a home worthy of him and his late master. This mod includes a brand new model for Meeko's Shack and lore friendly clutter additions to flesh out this solemn abode."
Ah'vrie likes this new model, and even the ivy is fitting for once. This one gets a cookie
lets see... effervessence released Window Emittance Consistency (WEC)
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/158918
"Makes window emittance consistent and sensible across all exterior spaces."
The author put some real work into this. Well done. Definitely worth a read. The old cat is calling this a WIP for now based on experimental support for DynDoLOD. Tracking for now.
megnoeu released Holidays -x- Light Placer
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/160128
"Attaching real lights to lanterns and carved pumpkins." Holidays, and light placer required of course. Thanks
Here's a "Well that was Quick" moment
Caenraes released Bread Modders' Resource
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/160156
"A pack of Bread models free for anyone to use for their own mods." And yummy looking
QueenAcademe released Diverse Bread(01b) (BOS)
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/136511
"Utilizes the power of Base Object Swapper to diversify the models and textures of Skyrim's bread(01b)"
And it's already been added to Gate to Sovngarde. "Well that was quick" LOL
We'll finish up with Archon - Faiths of Tamriel by aljoxo
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/160141
"Archon is a comprehensive reimagining of Skyrim’s religion system, enhancing the vanilla framework and introducing new deities with unique, powerful boons." "heavily inspired by and based on SimonMagus' Pilgrim and 3BFTweak's approach to religion."
Well considered and reasonable buffs and penalties / restrictions. Quite a bit to read but worth it. This one gets a cookie.
