Modding on the Spectrum
Ah'vrie wishes you well. It is Loredas the 24th of Morning Star and wage slaves rejoice, the weekend has arrived. The blessed moons have set and it is once again time for this one to tend the inn. Excuse please while the ash pits are emptied, and the fires are rebuilt... You might want to cover your tankards for a bit. This can get a tad dusty... There, Much better no? Ah'vrie always likes to begin the weekend with happy fires. They warm more than the room as his mother often said. Now to put fresh water to the flame while Ah'vrie composts the ash, checks the garden, scrubs the kettles... What? Oh, yes the life of an inn keeper is very glamorous yes.
Our brew of the day is Kahawa ya Congo, and the biscuits are Lemon. Checking the hot sheets we have 49 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.
A quick Shoutout to Xtudo for The Veiled Ledger SE - Unique Rewards
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/170580
"Replaces the adventure reward with a lovely unique one. 7 new amazing models so far. 4K-2K. ESL" Nothing worse than taking on a tough dungeon for a crappy reward. Thanks
EnemyPK released Abandoned Tower (Player Hideout) as their first mod. Welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/170574
"Abandoned Tower is a player hideout fits well with alchemists and mages. Represents high half-destroyed tower."
Nothing beats noobish exuberance
8 floors, unique models, and a dark backstory. What's not to love. The landscape edits are awful, and it has this whole hellraiser vibe with hooks hanging everywhere... And it's huge. This one has to get a cookie for not being in Riverwood Elzar125 released Partial Spell Casting
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/170554
"A lightweight SKSE plugin that lets you release charged projectile spells early for reduced power and magicka cost."
This could be extremely useful as you get up in levels as a mage. IE: when you start using spells like 'incinerate' you shouldn't be forced to charge/release a full power bolt to flambe a skeever. Downloaded for testing. Thanks. Have a cookie as well.
AlwaysAPrice released Clairvoyance Corpses
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/170601
"Adds a simplified Detect Dead effect to Clairvoyance to highlight nearby corpses"
The old cat uses a mod the drops a copy of detect dead 'lite' (apprentice level with much reduced range) on Farengar's desk. So no throwing stones in this glass house. This is not a bad idea as a convenience mod, and it would get you to use Clairvoyance more, and earlier, which buffs your alterations skills... The old cat approves. Downloaded to endorse.
let's see AceKSH released two remove ugly mod added flora.

Thanks for sharing.
ZhabkaAzazina patched Goam Elven Ears Redone and RaceMenu Selector of Skins
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/170564
Thanks for including the recommended load order.
TheShiningAbsol released Simple Giant Variants
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/170633
"Adds fifteen war-painted giant variants" That's a bit misleading, read that more as adds/distributes subtle variations in war paint to the vanilla giants. Thanks
Digsu released Additional Wild Horses
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/170560
"Adds two new tameable wild horses to the game" And their both pretty. Obviously Wild Horses is a hard requirement. Updates the notes as well. Nicely added. Have a cookie
Tori's Blackreach Mushrooms
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/170563
"Just a new mushroom model of the Blackreach tiny mushrooms"
" I replace almost all the harvestable mushrooms in Blackreach with mine"
They do look like baby versions of the tall ones. Well done, but the old cat is unsure about replacing all of the harvestable mushrooms... Needs testing, and feedback is requested.
And we'll finish up with Food Size Scaling - Base Object Swapper by Pieter82
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/170631
"Adjust food model / mesh sizes using Base Object Swapper. Compatible with all vanilla model / mesh replacers. No plugin / ESP."
Finally an all in one version that requires no plugin, about bloody time Pietre. Instant download, and another cookie. No one want's their tomatoes the size of a water melon.
And that will do for today. The new casks of ale were delivered on time last night, and we have a fresh batch of mead so this one hopes you're all very thirsty. We've serving mudcrab scrambles on toasted flat bread as the early meal, and Ale braised sabrecat with twice baked garlic potatoes and grilled leeks as the late meal. As always we'll have a hearty stew simmering for those that need to ward the 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!
