Gooooooood Morning Tamriel!
Ah'vrie wishes you well. It is Middas the first of Rain's Hand, and a peaceful predawn here on warm sands. The blessed moons have set, and it is once again time for this one to tend the inn. Excuse please while the fires are stoked, and fresh water is put to the flame.
Our brew of the day is still Indonesia, and the biscuits are lemon. Checking the hot sheets we have 49 new, and divines be praised, several do not require an antigravity bra. Let's see what catche3s the eye of an old cat over a fresh cuppa.
Mailoko released Smelter Solitude

Thanks my googly challenged friend, I'm sure theirs room on the pile for another one.
BerryBog released Peaceful High Hrothgar Journey

"Disables/changes hostile spawns on the way up to High Hrothgar."
The old cat can understand wanting to have a little zen time meditating on the shrines, but in this case the execution was questionable. Your game your way... grain of salt on this one
DrSeptimus released 4 today (NSFW)

A 'Tomboy' preset / 2 followers / and 'Tomboy Serana and Valerica Replacer' based on the preset. Not for old cats. but the preset is an improvement over their previous work.
Blackspine18859 released Don't Follow Me - Followers Stay Outside
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/176185
"Followers will automatically wait outside instead of stalking you everywhere you go."
Yeah... assembly required. You have to open the location in the MCM and assign who follows and who doesn't, for each location. It strains reality to call this 'automatic' The real solution is not to travel with an unmanageable group of klingons, but your game your way
Lucaoys released Giants Remastered and Diversified
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/176141
"Remasters the textures, proportions and 3D models of Giants (more detail, resolution, polygons, shading, and new 6 giant variants, plus variety in physique, age, faces, hair and eye color)"
And nicely done at that. The old cat is not thrilled with the purple and red versions, (fire and storm) but the rest are keepers. This one gets a cookie
Seems one fell through the cracks a few weeks ago, and a patch came out today, so lets correct the oversight.
Nordic Cows by TheEachUisge
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/172661
"Replaces Skyrim's highland cows with Yakutian-inspired ones in a variety of colors."
These look good, and variety is included with more to follow. Asymmetrical markings, and based on a breed that thrives in artic tundra (Not the Scottish highlands)
Nordic Cows - SkyTEST Compatibility Patch
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/176182
What it says on the wrapper...
The models are beautiful, and it's unfortunate they arenot compatible with the Mihail cows. Hopefully there will be a combined variety distribution mod down the road. Definitely worth a look, and a cookie. tracking for now.
xYZeroYx released NPC Visual Editor
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/176063
"Lets you change the visuals for NPCs in realtime,create presets so you can change for different replacers in one click without change skills and had to manage conflicts in xedit
"
You really want to watch the video, Very impressive. But it requires the face discoloration fix, and the SKSE menu framework. the discoloration fix does not give a warm and fuzzy to the old cat. Thanks Viny, but this needs serious testing in a heavily modded game, the examples were all vanilla NPCs... This is a powerful tool and cookie worthy, but needs testing.
And that brings us to our mod of the day... questionable as it is. Summon the AI dancers
Aino - A Cozy Riverwood Cabin by Elianora (with a little help)
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/176177
"The first of its kind — a fully AI-prompted and built player home!"
"With the help of Claude, SkyGPT and Vibecoding™, I was able to pull off this cozy and lore-friendly little player cabin in no time whatsoever!"
The old cat has to admit, other then the idiotic cherry blossoms, and some branches clipping through the roof, this is a beautiful and well laid out starter home. based on the small footprint BYOH layout.
The only question is who gets the cookie?
And that will do for today. 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!
