Modding on the SpectrumGooooooood Morning Tamriel!
Ah'vrie wishes you well. It is Middas the 22nd of Rain's hand, Hump day as my pet smoothskin calls it. Ah'vrie never understood that. Khajiit are more refined of course. Our females choose when and who'm to mate with. Some smoothskin rituals are simply beyond understanding. Anyway, it is time once again for this one to tend the inn. Excuse please while the fires are stoked, and fresh water is put to the flames...
Our brew of the day is Miami espresso, but fresh biscuits will have to wait on Ah'vrie returning from the markets in a little while. Checking the hot sheets we have 50 new mods from the usual eclectic sources. Let's see what catches the eye of an old cat over a cuppa.
mistersticky2 released Horkers of Skyrim - Skytest Texture Patch as their first mod. Welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/178018
"Small patch using edited versions of Hornclonic's horker textures to replace the textures of Skytest's added Horker variants for more visual consistency."
This is a patch that patches a patch... you'll want to read the mod page. Thanks
karurawasabi released SkyChild - Alternate Meshes and Tweaks
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/178066
"Reshaped body and clothing meshes plus some texture tweaks (no more children wearing lipgloss!)"
While Ah'vrie agrees with the concepts, not thrilled with the execution. Especially putting girls knickers on the boys. Not for old cat's but thanks
zfroggyman get's the Awww! for the day
Followers Can Give Hugs After Combat
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/178008
"Followers have a configurable % chance to give hugs to player after combat ends"
Awww! Exclusions, pecentages... etc. are all in the INI. Thanks. Have a cookie.
Mat1024 released Procedural Object Remover
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/178096
"Removes procedurally generated objects (the infamous pebbles & kelp!)"
The old cat may test this one. But might also edit it to not include the kelp. Those stupid looking groups of rocks going away would never be missed, but this one at least likes his water plants. Thanks. tracking for now.
While we're peeking under the hood...
Wuerfelhusten released SSEEditLinker
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/178053
"Links Skyrim's in-game console to SSEEdit - select a reference, press F2, done."
This might not work with MO2, or Vortex, but I'm not positive. It will require a secondary standalone instance of xEdit that's preconfigured as a destination path... A bit early for old cats. needs testing. and probably some path tweaking. Thanks
Lets see... Foamimi released Unofficial LOTD - Alternative Building Requirements
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/178084
"building material tweaks to the Guild House and Field Stations from Legacy of the Dragonborn"
Can cost nothing, half, or twice as much. Your game your way. Thanks
We'll finish up with Druid's Tundra Cottage by skulldilocks
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/177971
"Cozy, detailed player home..."
It's another over the top clutter bomb, like their others. Not for old cats. Ellie this one is not. Eye bleach optional, but 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 Turdas the 23rd of Rain's Hand, and a brisk dawn 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 flames...
Our brew of the day is Inspirazione a Napoli, and the biscuits are double chocolate chunk. Ah'vrie really needs to start baking again. The bakery has nice biscuits, but there's mothing like hot and gooey, straight from the ovens. Checking the hot sheets we have 48 new with the usual 'patches, and jangles, and noobs oh my' This one will refrain from skipping up the paths, and breaking into song though... Tempting
The noobs have the stage first as always. we love welcoming new blood
oibreon released OI Follower Relationship Rank as a first mod. Welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/178121
"Tired of everyone following you after a small favor? Want an added challenge? This mod simply moves the requirements to recruit a follower from 1 to 3 (Ally)."
Useless without additional mods to increase relationship ranks, but a valid concept. Thanks
TheWoodenplank released My Hole in the Wall as their first SSE mod. Welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/177879
"A small player house, hidden away in the walls of Whiterun"
Not thrilled with the location of the trapdoor. It could have been 'hidden in plain sight' much better than dumping dirt in a lookout post, and putting it there. We were all young once. Keep working at your craft... Thanks
xXmoksXx released Useful Blacksmiths - SkyPatcher
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/178174
"Uses SkyPatcher to add ore and ingots of every type to the merchant stock of all blacksmiths in Skyrim"
The noob is strong in this one LOL. Just poking, you could swing by the skyforge, Adriann's, and Alvor's on the way to Falkreath and have enough iron ingots and ore to fully build lakeview... and with ARS or CCOR installed, gain enough skill to forge real armors while your at it. Ah'vrie almost hates to admit this is a very useful cheat, but it is a cheat.
ElCapri released Dragon Priest Staves-Relics of the Dragon Cult as their third mod
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/178115
"This mod reimagines those artifacts, granting each Dragon Priest a unique staff with its own identity, visual design, and magical presence."
Not thrilled with the new buffs... (Otar gets wabbajack?) Some of the models are interesting. Not for old cats, but thanks
Saturnal69 released two first mods today, both patched for convenient horses
https://www.nexusmods.com/profile/Saturnal69/mods
Basically designed to allow you to summon horses in new worlds spaces. Thanks, I always wanted to ride my horse on Solstheim. Needs testing
DharusVI released Infinite Arrows
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/178112
"Some magical power is unleashed while shooting a bow which forms a new arrow based on the arrow that was just fired, but to do this it needs a blueprint arrow. So to work effectively, you need two arrows."
11th mod and still a noob LOL, Thanks
AonoBR released 4 today to go with the 3 yesterday. All survival patches. Thanks
https://www.nexusmods.com/profile/AonoB ... ameId=1704
tcbflash released Jewelry Restricts Vitality
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/178122
"-20 to H/S/M EACH per jewelry worn, reduced by 2 per 10 skill levels of Enchanting, Standard, Light, and Heavy versions, along with other variations available."
Yeah, plan on reading the mod page. LOL This is basically a continuation of TCB trying to add real, but reasonable penalties to magic users based on clothing worn... The bikini clothing crowd are going to eat this one up. Naked magic users unite
Let's see... Fallven released ValArt hipoly clover (SE) - seasonal patch
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/178101
"Seasonal swaps for beautiful clover by Vaiula."
And nicely done. Have a cookie
Klimmek's Enhanced Vanilla Imperial Forts
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/177838
"Vanilla Imperial Forts Gigapixel upscaled" Just a 'little' upscaled, but it helps. Thanks
And for out mod of the day... This one takes the top slot today
sothasimp released Sleep of the Dead - An Ancient Leather Hide Replacer
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/178057
"A simple 2k/4k replacer for the leather hides in Nordic catacombs, nothing too exciting"
These are the 'little' mods that make a difference. The hides look a little to... fresh? to be centuries old. But the tattered fabric looks like it would disintegrate if you touched it. The old cat is thinking of testing the 2k tattered fabric. Downloaded, 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
Gooooooooood Morning Tamriel!
Ah'vrie wishes you well. It is Loredas the 25th of Rain's Hand, and wage slaves rejoice, the weekend has arrived. It looks to be a beautiful dawn here on warm sands. The blessed moons have long set, and it is once again time for this one to tend the inn for our most honored guests. Excuse please while the ash pits are emptied, the vent's are cleaned, and the fires rebuilt. You might want to cover your tankards, this can get a tad dusty...
There, much better no? Ah'vrie always likes to start the weekend off with happy fires. They warm more then the room as his mother liked to say. Now to compost the ash, tend the garden, and scrub the kettles, but first we put fresh water to the flame.
Our brew of the day is Capetown Lungo, and the biscuits are chocolate chip. Checking the hot sheets we have 47 new mods In the usual mix of jangles, patches and pointy sticks. Let's see what catches and old cat's eye over a fresh cuppa or two.
First a shout-out. We see these all the time, and they're usually preeetty bad. But these were beautifully captured in game. This one has an eye. Shame about the name LOL
Willys Serene Scenes Immersive Animated Main Menu
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/178336
ICFur's Tundra Shrubs ... A gentle poke
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/178342
"Mesh and texture replacement for tundra shrubs."
Ah'vrie loves a good re-texture... It hurts to say vanilla looks better, but vanilla looks better.
BastosFC released Nordic Ruins Overhaul - FOMOD
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/178308
"Vanilla friendly overhaul of every Nordic Ruins and Dwellings exterior (40 locations). Now fully ESL, with a modular FOMOD."
Poor title, but 'added exterior rubble' isn't quite as sexy. Not for old cat's, but thanks
apocalyptech released Unlimited Bookshelves Compat - Fix Book Bounds (Skypatcher)
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/178309
"Fixes the Object Bounds on various books so that they play nicely with Unlimited Bookshelves. Of interest to folks also using Book Covers Skyrim and its USSEP Patch"
There's a blast from the past. This one hasn't used unlimited bookshelves since oldrim, but since it also fixes book covers of Skyrim/USSEP, it could be useful to many of us.
Lets see... MANHUNTER69 patched riverbord's wheat replacer with wind animations
Animated Gluten-Free Wheat
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/178325
"Animated Mesh Replacer for Riverbord's Wheat Replacer - Gluten-Free Grainless Crop. Also works with Real Wheat Fields" Thanks
Rockerbaby186 released Solitude - Divine Mosaics
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/178288
"Mosaics of the Divines for Solitude's Temple of the Divines"
Very reminiscent of the temple windows in Oblivion. Downloaded. Nicely done
Mjoll The Lioness DF Edit SkyPatched
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/178347
Not bad, not thrilled. This ones faces are becoming a bit cookie cutter. Thanks
Jordis of Solitude - SerketHetyt's Housecarls
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/175412
"A realistic lore-friendly overhaul for Jordis, our dear housecarl of Haafingar Hold"
Her third housecarl, and this one looks every bit the self-assured fighter, but maybe a little sad. Definitely worth a look, and a cookie.
And finally, This one's not for old cat's either, but it's definitely the mod of the day.
WeatherPainterAshelia released Picta - Weathers of Aurbis - Repainted
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/178136
"One of the most comprehensive and advanced Weather Overhauls and ENB Preset to date utilizing everything ENBSeries, Silent Horizon 2 - Shader Core and my own work of 6+ years has to offer. Reworked from scratch with a more focused Development."
Somber, moody, dramatic... beautiful. Ah'vrie would love to test this in game, but the requirements are unfortunate. All that Kitsuune baggage, and LUX? No thankyou. But it is not this one's game, and this preset and the weathers are gorgeous. Have a cookie
And that will do for today. The new casks of ale were delivered overnight, and a fresh batch of mead is ready. We're serving pan seared slaughterfish with roast diced potatoes sauteed with onions and serves with a poached egg on top for the early meal. They go for the tail and fall for the mace every time. We'll be serving Ale braised Sabrecat with twice baked garlic potatoes and sauteed carrots for the late meal. And as always there will be a kettle of hearty stew simmering all day 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 be happy to serve you. We-B-Open!
