Goooooooood Morning Tamriel!
Ah'vrie wishes you well. it is Sundas the 28th of Sun's Height and a very quiet predawn here on warm sands. The blessed moons waned through the final quarter and will be new again a week from today. This one is sure the hunters will be looking forward to another long weekend of celebrating, but it is time once again for Ah'vrie to tend the inn for our most honored guests. Excuse please while the fires are stoked, and fresh water is put to the boil...
Out brew of the day is Inspirazione a Venezia, and the biscuits are peanut butter chocolate chip. Checking the hot sheets we have 39 new with all the usual suspects. Let's see what catches the eye of an old cat over a fresh cuppa or two.
iKyrax released Better Mage Armor as a first mod. Welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/125398
"A tweak to the Mage Armor perks in the Alteration tree to bring unarmored builds up to par with light and heavy armor" This could be very useful if you want to play a pure 'robes' mage build. It makes all of the mage armor also last 2 minutes instead of 30 seconds. The old cat finds this quite reasonable. Thanks, have a cookie
Happycatty released an famale idle animation as a first mod. Welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/125399
"A female idle animation! A more standardized standing posture!" Well, Ah'vrie's mother used to tell him to stand up straight all of the time. Nothing wrong with good posture. Thanks
Xeruloudon released two first mods today. Welcome
https://next.nexusmods.com/profile/Xeru ... ameId=1704
Food and Potions: "Increases all food and potions X4"
Spell Scaling: "All Spell Schools Scale with your skill level upto 100% Extra effectiveness"
A little OP, but if it makes you happy why not. Your game your way.
And finally we'll finish up with something a little unusual from wSkeever
Mark Books as Unread
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/125346
"Press hotkey to mark books and notes as unread." For use with mods like Read or take, The eloquent reader, and unread books glow. Has several requirements so read the mod page as always.
Honestly it's a little early for the old cat to understand why you need this, but if you do, Skeever's got you covered. 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!

Ah'vrie wishes you well. It is Morndas the 29th of Sun's Height, and wage slaves lament, the weekend is over. Hide if you can, or work if you must, it's Morndas again. Excuse please while the fires are stoked, and fresh water is put to the boil...
Our brew of the day is Inspirazione A Napoli, and the biscuits are Ginger Zingers. Checking the hot sheet we have 46 new mods. Mostly jiggles and patches, but let's see what catches the eye over a fresh cuppa or two.
WalksInMist released Craftable Taxidermy Pinned Insects as their first CK mod. Welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/125461
"A simple mod which adds craftable pinned dartwing and butterfly cases. For use with a positioner mod and optional compatibility with Description Framework." Make sure to check the requirements, and you will need positioning software to place them anywhere. Thanks
Freyr95 released What is the Color of Night - Oblivion Nostalgia
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/125423
"Replaces the question, and response text, for the Dark Brotherhood doors with the originals from Oblivion." If it makes you happy why not. Thanks

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/125476
"This mod adds shoes to the default sailor's outfit." Because Brrr! Thanks
Tythemis released Gradual All-In-One

"This mod is my Gradual potions, Gradual Ingredients, Gradual Food and Drink Effects, and Actual Skooma all rolled into one. As well as including an alternate version with longer lasting food buffs" Thanks, one plugin is always preferred
LeastDegenAzuraEnjoyer spammed a bit with 6 this morning. Mostly back pack nerfs
https://next.nexusmods.com/profile/Leas ... ameId=1704
Watchman's Whiterun Hold - Secondary Locations
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/125444
"Overhaul of four minor locations located in the Whiterun Hold." Another modder adding ruins to the landscape. At least these make a little sense. Worth a look.
AlchemicaMateria released No .esp Renewed
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/125463
Updates MrowrPurr's framework to work with the current game version and the current version of commonlib NG. Make sure to check the requirements as some of the requirements have requirements... Thanks.
wSkeever released Settling of Squad - Set Follower Home
As already mentioned, this is really only safe for vanilla followers, and most of the better follower frameworks can already set a vanilla followers 'Home'. This should not be trusted with any custom follower's unless specifically permitted by the authors. Sack of salt time... No link for this one. Skeever should know better
And our mod of the day... Something just for fun. A Bards college minigame
Typography Training by shazdeh2
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/125468
"You can go to Viarmo in Bards College and ask him to teach you the Daedric alphabet."
The old cat loves this... Serves no purpose at all in the vanilla game, but why not? This was intended for use with the author's Daedric Decipherer mod. This gets a cookie just because
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!

Gooooooood Morning Tamriel! amriel riel iel el l
It would seem to be a quiet night at the inn and Ah'vrie is greeting an empty room. This is fine, it makes cleaning the floors easier. It is Tirdas the 30th of Sun's Height and another sticky 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 boil...
Our brew of the day id Stockholm Lungo, and the biscuits are Tate's Lemon cookies. Checking the hot sheets we have 48 new with plenty of jiggls dangles and pointy sticks. Lets see what catches the eye of an old cat this fine day over a fresh cuppa.
ApricotCroissant released Parallax Textures For Vanilla Game and Various Mods https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/125527
Their first mod. Welcome. There's a single picture of a farmhouse wall height map, and no examples of the 38 separate mesh fixes and parallax maps (_p.dds) textures for base game (vanilla) and various mods. While it's impossible for the old cat to recommend sight unseen, we do welcome then to the community. The only concern the old cat has is the general scaling down of the map resolution based on the size of the original texture. Examples are needed. Grain of salt, but thanks
PigeonsOfVoid released Shiv upscaled as a first SSE mod. Welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/125521
"Shiv upscaled from 2K to 4k" Thanks, looks unplesantly pointy
Solus200 released C.U.M - Convenient Utility Magic
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/125573
"Just 2 simple spells to make a mage's life in Skyrim a little more convenient." A simple premise and interesting mod. Contextual Bound tools. A tool-bag spell that will summon what you need whether it's a fishing rod or a pick axe. And an auto-harvest spell called Druids scythe. Why should a mage need to lug around a pick and an axe? Have a cookie
GabonZ released Nordic Snow - Blended Roads Support
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/125501
"Adds a snow road texture that's compatible with Blended Roads" And also looks good. Thanks, This one is worth a look and a cookie
Rerelease - Leather Backpack - Special Edition SPID by LeastDegenAzuraEnjoyer
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/125552
"A Spid DISTR ini and ESP-FE to distribute Rerelease - Leather Backpack - Special Edition."
This one is still nerfing back packs... everyone needs a hobby, thanks
dBottle released Whitewatch Towers
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/125555
"Small overhaul to the Whiterun guard post north of the city. Only rebuilt the collapsed tower on the right side of the structure and added a walkway to get up top." Thanks, this one the old cat likes.
We'll finish up with a compilation of Lucaoys updated dragons
DDCSE and other dragon mods models Modernized and Redesigned
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/125538
"New models based on my previous ones for diverse dragons collection, deadly dragons, wyrmstooth, memorable dragons, and more!"
You'll want to read the mod page, there are no skeletons included in the updated models. This was intended to work with the author's Majestic Dragons (Larger and immersive proportions) but will work with other dragon skeletons as well. Thanks, very... toothy
This one is seriously worth a look

Ah'vrie wishes you well. It is Middas the 31st of Sun's Height. By the divines it's hard to believe Second Seed is already here, but time does march on. 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 put to the boil...
Our brew of the day is Capetown Lungo, and the biscuits are Oatmeal blueberry. Checking the hot sheets we have 44 new mods with plenty of Jiggles, dangles, patches and pointy sticks as always. Let's see what catches the eye of an old cat over a fresh cuppa or two.
pjoan344 released Perfect Ingredients as a first mod. Welcome
"I did override the effects of around 12 ingredients, so that every ingredient has 4 alchemical properties, and by mixing 2 ingredients with the same alchemical properties you can get a potion with 4 effects" And ruined some of the better potions as a result. welcome but PASS
Jonutwo released Less Spiky Dragonscale Armor Vanilla and CBBE as a first mod. Welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/125597
"Less Spiky Dragonscale Armor - Stop getting stuck on doors" LOL, Ah'vrie doesn't remember getting stuck on doors wearing Dragonscale, but thanks.
nullwyrm released Drinking Potions Grants Alchemy XP as a second mod.
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/125587
"Grants Alchemy Experience for Drinking Potions and Applying Poisons" LOL, What's next eating makes you a better cook? Your game your way
Let's see... HumanLikeCreature tightened the collision on FYX 3D Stockades so arrows could shoot through the cracks, but needs to work on the title a bit
FYX - 3D Stockades - Walls and Gate - Collision Improvements
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/125635
"This mod simply adjusts the collisions on the stockades to fit more tightly and allow firing in between" Thanks, the old cat hates when his arrows get stuck in mid air, yes he does
volodavkaa released Project-Better ingot
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/125582
"The mod will replace most of the ingots with the ones I made. Also for a change was added printing on gold bars" Another for the pile. These look good, but the printing on the gold ingot: "Imperial Gold Currency reserve" Not thrilled, but thanks
Okay, lets get to the good stuff...
dBottle released Immersive Fishing Locations
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/125638
"Adds a handful of small yet immersive fishing/camping locations." Now this one we like. Some of the locations are questionable, and some have docks where you wouldn't park a boat, but stumbling over new and unique fishing locations is always a plus. The author will be adding additional locations as well. Flagged for the old cat's next build. Have a cookie
Campfire Dynamic Collisions by WiZkiD
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/125636
"This mod adds dynamic collisions to every object that you can craft with Campfire."
Okay, now this is a game changer if you use Campfire, I'll have to touch base with Wiz later and see if there will also be a patch for Campsite. This one gets a cookie. The old cat has whistled for his horse then gone to bed only to find his horse half sticking through the tent many times. Instant download

Ah'vrie wishes you well. If is Turdas the 1st of Second Seed and another sticky predawn here on warm sands. The blessed moons are waning through the final crescents and will be new on Sundas. Ah'vrie expects the hunters will begin their celebration tomorrow yes he does, and a long weekend of drinking. Ah'vrie does miss the hunt, but not the hangovers. 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 boil...
Our brew of the day is from Indonesia, and we'll be baking fresh biscuits a little later. Checking the hot sheets we have 33 new mostly jiggles. Not much catches the eye today, but let's dive in with a fresh cuppa and see what does.
TheShiningAbsol released Ysolda - Seller of Sap
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/125683
"Ysolda, everyone's favorite Sleeping Tree Sap dealer, will now actually sell Sleeping Tree Sap to you." She does still buy sap as well. Makes sense... Why not? Thanks
GeraldMods released Hammerfell-Themed Amren's House
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/125621
"This tiny mod adds unique clutter to Amren's House!" This makes use of the ResourcePack.esl from 1.6.1130 update to add a little unique clutter in the form of rugs, pillows, baskets and jars... Have a cookie for being Subtle. Thanks
Well finish up with Havenfield Manor from HANKDTANK
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/124898
A large house near Rorikstead. Reasonably cluttered but the author obviously does not understand the use of interior templates as the entire interior is foggy like a damp cave not a house. Not for old cats but thanks.
And honestly, that will do for today. Freyr95 did release an ESL version of cloudedtruth's Teach Followers Spells Through Spell Tomes, but that's more of a patch than a release

Our brew of the day is from India, and the biscuits are Ginger zingers. Checking the hot sheets we have 44 new with all the usual suspects. Let's see what catches the eye over a fresh cuppa or two.
UselessAffro released Useless Brand New Shei as a first mod. Welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/125802
"Overhauls Brand Shei marketplace, his inventory, outfit and combat style to fit his lore: an adopted Dunmer that has been searching his origins for his whole life"
An interesting first mod, and Brand's inventory certainly needs a buff, but the old cat questions why everything is from Solsteim if his adopted parents are Argonian? Thanks
WallRockTree released Three Horses as a first SSE mod. Welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/124593
"Three abandoned horses wait patiently behind the Whiterun stable" A simple starter cheat. Poor Allie, a coin purse behind the stable would have been easier. Thanks
vexthecollector released Mage Armour Fix as a first mod. Welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/125758
"Fixes the Mage Armour in Vokriinator Black to not check for armour instead of checking for clothes" Color an old cat confused, but thanks for allowing naked armored mages?
Lets see... Puneumadqb released Always with a bed roll
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/125727
"You can craft a bed roll and carry it with you so you can use it anytime. You can also grab the placed bed roll and adjust its position." Depending on your play style, this could come in handy even if you have other camping mods installed. Sometimes you just need a bed. Thanks, this one gets a cookie.
pocho12 released Dragons Dogma Simple Fast Travel
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/125841
" a mod I've created by simply modifying the .esp file of the Translocate mod, which works flawlessly. I've added some scrolls that can be crafted at Skyrim's tanning rack—500 for the teleport mark (Mark) and 150 for the teleport (Recall)."
and 60 septims still rents the carriage. It does have the advantage of allowing you to place the markers where you like. Your game your way.
Coru Catha's Religion of Skyrim

"a polytheistic religion expansion designed for roleplaying. Characters will discover shrines to obscure or forgotten deities, pray to any deity they know to help with the task at hand, and may eventually dedicate themselves to one deity if they so wish."
This adds some interesting flavor to Skyrim's religion, and new shrines to discover in your travels. It substantially reduces the duration of the blessing though, so make sure to read the entire mod page. Interesting enough to earn a cookie, Thanks
TheShiningAbsol released Battlehorn Beverages - Hearthfire Wine Expanded
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/125832
"Reintroduces the remaining six wines from the Fighter's Stronghold DLC in Oblivion to go with the Argonian Bloodwine that returned in Hearthfire, each with their own unique set of effects."

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/125685
Not an old cat's cup of tea, but interesting... and foggy Worth a look

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/125788

Ah'vrie wishes you well. It is Fredas the 2nd of Second Seed and thank the divines the weekend is nigh. The blessed moons have long set, and it is past time for this one to tend the inn. Excuse please while the fires are stoked and fresh water is put to the boil...
Our brew of the day is from India, and the biscuits are Ginger zingers. Checking the hot sheets we have 44 new with all the usual suspects. Let's see what catches the eye over a fresh cuppa or two.
UselessAffro released Useless Brand New Shei as a first mod. Welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/125802
"Overhauls Brand Shei marketplace, his inventory, outfit and combat style to fit his lore: an adopted Dunmer that has been searching his origins for his whole life"
An interesting first mod, and Brand's inventory certainly needs a buff, but the old cat questions why everything is from Solsteim if his adopted parents are Argonian? Thanks
WallRockTree released Three Horses as a first SSE mod. Welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/124593
"Three abandoned horses wait patiently behind the Whiterun stable" A simple starter cheat. Poor Allie, a coin purse behind the stable would have been easier. Thanks

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/125758
"Fixes the Mage Armour in Vokriinator Black to not check for armour instead of checking for clothes" Color an old cat confused, but thanks for allowing naked armored mages?

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/125727
"You can craft a bed roll and carry it with you so you can use it anytime. You can also grab the placed bed roll and adjust its position."

pocho12 released Dragons Dogma Simple Fast Travel
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/125841
" a mod I've created by simply modifying the .esp file of the Translocate mod, which works flawlessly. I've added some scrolls that can be crafted at Skyrim's tanning rack—500 for the teleport mark (Mark) and 150 for the teleport (Recall)."
and 60 septims still rents the carriage. It does have the advantage of allowing you to place the markers where you like. Your game your way.

Re: Coffee with an old Khajiit
Gooooooooood Morning Tamriel!
Ah'vrie wishes you well. It is Loredas the 3rd of Second Seed and a quiet predawn here on warm sands. The blessed moons are gibbous and the have already begun celebrating as expected. We do hope the goddess enjoys her rest. However there is no rest for old cats. The inn will not tend itself. Excuse please while the ash pits are emptied and the fires are rebuilt. You may wish to cover your tankards for a bit as this does get a tad dusty... There, much better no? Ah'vrie always likes to begin the weekend with happy fires, and a happy fire needs to breathe. Now to compost the ash, tend the garden, scrub the kettles... The life of an innkeeper is glamorous no? Let's start by putting fresh water to the boil...
Our brew of the day is Cadiz from Spain, and the biscuits are classic oatmeal raisin. Checking the hot sheets we have 44 new with all the usual suspects. Let's see what catches the eye of an old cat over a fresh cuppa or two.
Thgewe released Puzzle Pillar Auto-Solve as a first mod. Welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/125875
"Now all puzzles with pillars are solved by default, just pull the lever.
No .esp file" Well that's a whole new level of lazy. Not for old cat's, but thanks?
mlilly784 released Blades Like Dragons Now as a second mod
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/125872
(WIP) "Convince the Blades to not only spare Paarthurnax, but also to begin working with some dragons!"
This is an early peak at a school teacher that loves scifi wanting to turn Skyrim into "The dragon riders of Nirn" With school beginning shortly don't hold your breath. Could be interesting though. Your game your way.
Xeruloudon released Expensive Spell Books as a third mod.
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/125847
"Increases the price of spell books based on their level." Interesting... so their second mod made spellbooks scale with the user and become OP, so their third mod makes them so expensive you have to limit your choices. Ah'vrie thinks this one discovered the complexities of game balance rather quickly. Learning is important Have a cookie.
tcbflash released No More Persuasion Hints
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/125896
"Put your thinking caps on! Now you have to actually think about what you are saying, and whether it might persuade someone... No more just glancing for Bethesda's hand-holding parentheticals anymore, they are GONE!"
Oh no!, forcing gamers to think for themselves? LOL. The old cat likes the concept yes he does, but is not really surprised there have been no downloads.
Lets see... PepperoniB01 released Rosa - High Poly Nord Preset
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/125877
"After a long wait, I've finally decided to release my main char over the last year or so " The old cat would normally ignore a preset, but PB's facial sculpting on this one is remarkably life like. This one gets a cookie.
And we'll finish up with the official release of Busy Follower Framework by DarkFox127
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/112076
"The Busy Follower Framework aims to provide the most immersive and intuitive experience for base followers in the game by enhancing their base functionality and adding additional features such as renaming, home assignment, outfits, teaching, looting and much more." Requires UIExtensions, and SKSE
Okay, DF is under no illusions that their won't be a bug or two to iron out, and the old cat will warn up front DO NOT USE THIS ON CUSTOM FOLLOWERS! Just don't even try. That having been said, a lot of hard work and imagination went into this. and it adds functionality that other follower frameworks don't touch like adopted children and animal companions. This is not compatible with other follower mods as it does edit the same base scripts they do. You'll want to read the entire mod page.
DF is one of the best, we'll give this one 3 cookies, but expect the odd bug, and an update or three. And again, only use this on base vanilla followers and the other standard T&A meatbags. Do not use this on any follower with a custom AI
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, with diced roast potatoes for the early meal, and Ale braised sabercat with twice baked garlic potatoes and steamed carrots for the late meal. As always we'll have a hearty stew simmering for those wanting something a little more substantial.
The fires are stoked, the kettles are scrubbed, and the floors are swept and mopped. Have a seat by the fires and warm your bones. We-B-Open!

csbx released Wayfinder - Follow Directions Not Map Markers as a first SSE Mod
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/121765
"This mod introduces a new means of finding your way around Skyrim. Receive directions straight from the quest-giver or ask for directions from various vanilla NPCs distributed across Skyrim."
Now this is an interesting twist. Rather than eliminate the quest markers altogether, This mod has it so the location marker won't show until you discover the location, then vanilla takes back over. Very Morrowindesk. Needs testing in a new game, but have a cookie.
Lets see... Halffaces released Slightly improved ugly bridges. Just as ugly and now 132meg Moving right along
Rosehla returns with Quaint Hovel
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/125933
"A small-ish hunting and fishing dragonborn's home at the edge of Riften lake with room for spouse and two followers. Not too far from the lumber mill."
You have to love her little houses. This one is cute, well appointed, and the old cat even likes the location. This one gets a cookie, downloaded, The old cat might add this one.
Tem's Houses - Severio
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/125917

A nice job on the clutter Tem. Thanks

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/125967

outtamercy released Rainbow Pebble Whiterun Road -Parallax
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/125969
"just a texture replacer for whiterun's roads that's suited for vr." Well they supplied a picture of the base texture but nothing from in game. The old cat has no problem with small river stone set in mortar, but Ah'vrie would need to see it in game before recommending it. Thanks
ItzIvy - Whiterun Well Overhaul
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/125955
"Enhance Whiterun with a cozy, lore-friendly well that seamlessly integrates into the city’s environment. This mod adds a touch of authenticity and warmth, making Whiterun feel more alive and immersive." Your game your way... cut stone instead of field stone, the roof tiles don't match, and way to much ivy with no root system. Not for old cats. pass
We'll finish up with one from mechanicalpanda and Clofas
Ebony Ultimate Edition - weather and ENB
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/125944
"Ebony weathers and a complimentary ENB using it's latest features. Unique storm sounds provided by Clofas. Adds support for LUX, ELFX and Skyrim is Luminous. Intended for a gritty, gloomy and dark fantasy gameplay experience!"
A very consistent look across multiple lighting mods. Too desaturated for an old cat's taste, but definitely does a good job of being gloomy. Worth a look and a cookie, just not to an old cat's taste. Thanks

This one does not envy the hunters their hangovers this time tomorrow. Anyway it is time once again for Ah'vrie to tend the inn for our most honored guests.

"This simple patch replaces Chesko's Campfire backpacks with models from the wonderful Adventurer's Magic Backpack and Lantern by Danp" An interesting twist, brown + normal, Black has red light, and white has amber light. If it makes you happy. Thanks
IHateMyKite released HeadSlide
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/125999

More Immersive Wenches by darthinvictus2001
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/126060
"I like the idea of Immersive Wenches, but having them all have the same bodyslide that borders unrealistic plus skimpy outfits broke immersion for me. Even worse I couldn't use custom body slides and Autobody on them. So I decided to change it so they use a zeroed 3BA bodyslide plus vanilla clothes and armor. Given it's been 3 years since this mod was posted and no one else has done this, I figure I'm one of the few if only modders on the planet who (a) still plays Skyrim and (b) actually wants this... but in case there's one other out there I'm posting it to Nexus."
What, no gravity defying H cups? DjRed will not be amused
shazdeh2 released Elder Mushrooms
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/126016
"Adds 6 gigantic mushrooms that you find in the world." These giant version of the shrooms have the same alchemical effects, so combining one with a standard version will reviel all effects and make a potent if imperfect potion. Why not? and Thanks.
And yes we have a mod of the day, and it'd a good one. Sound the trumpets!
WAVY Waterfalls Effect by Yuril
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/126073
"This mod add a fake wavy effect at the bottom of the waterfalls. (Skyrim and official DLC)
Fake because the effect is not linked to the "water" parameter, here I use "refraction" to simulate this effect."
Looks great and it's unaffected by choice of water mod? Sign an old cat up. Some minor edits to INI files needed. The only downside is Yuril says to place the ESP before any light mods, so might need a little juggling in the load order. Downloaded for testing. 2 cookies

Looks great and it's unaffected by choice of water mod? Sign an old cat up. Some minor edits to INI files needed. The only downside is Yuril says to place the ESP before any light mods, so might need a little juggling in the load order. Downloaded for testing. 2 cookies
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
Gooooood Morning Tamriel!
Ah'vrie wishes you well. It is Tirdas the 6th of Second Seed and another sticky predawn here on warm sands. The blessed moons have begun to wax, 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 put to the boil.
Our brew of the day is Miami espresso, and the biscuits will have to wait for the old cat to return from the markets. Checking the hot sheets we have 22 new and very little catches the eye this day. However that might be a problem according to the shaman of the Nexus...

"This mod adds a spell that advances time at the user's will (very difficult to deduce)"
Well if you look at the description for the spell in the video it includes a crash warning. Doesn't foster a lot of confidence, but an interesting first mod. Thanks
