Goooooood Morning Tamriel!

Ah'vrie wishes you well. it is Fredas the 9th of Sun's Dawn and thank the divines the weekend is nigh at hand. The blessed moons are new, the hunters are drunk, and it's 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...

Out brew of the day is Inspirazione a Napoli, and the biscuits are almond biscotti. Checking the hot sheets we have 50 new with all the usual jiggles, dangles, patches and goofs. Let's see what catches the eyes of an old cat over a fresh cuppa or two.

Inforgreen released Imperious - Nord racism not required as a first mod. Welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/111258
"This mod replaces the selection of a non Nord race to be racist to for extra damage with the more fitting selection of historical Nord heroes that come with a thematic benefit"

Well it's a start, but unfortunately it will take a lot more work to make the Nords more open minded in this game at least.

CarbonDice released two today, a weather expansion, and weather expansion assets
https://www.nexusmods.com/users/1859135 ... files&BH=0
This was a serious effort, it adds new image spaces and volumetric lighting along with transitional precipitations. Over 200 hours went into this patch/addition. This needs to be seen in game. Worth a look and a cookie

ExtremeBias released Togglable Survival Health Regen as a second mod
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/111247
"Allows health regeneration in Survival Mode to be toggled on/off via SkyUI's configuration menu." That's about as light a survival tweak as one can imagine. Thanks

Halffaces - yet another flagon
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/111204
This one looks like a tea pot. Keep working at your craft and some day...

ArchonShadow released Arc's MeadBarrel Redux 2k-4k
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/111195
The second of the 'redux' series. The sides and metal work look good, The old cat is not fond of the 'bull's eye' knot patterns in the normal map, and the face seems just a tad off in the bump map. The cube maps look perfect though. Nice. Thanks

SavrenX Auriel's Bow
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/111266
"Turning Auriel's Bow into something unique." A bit over the top, but beautifully done, and after all this is supposed to actually be a god weapon. This one gets a cookie. Thanks

Gerheardt continues redoing vanilla towns and also adding them
https://www.nexusmods.com/users/8849914 ... files&BH=0
Added Darkwater, Riverwood, Karthwasten. They also added a new town/hold This one is called Pinemist.

Adding homes for NPCs, new merchants, inns, blacksmiths... Every town comes with a no back story player home that supports multi-adoption. Your game your way. The old cat's only concern was their dropping a house in Riverwood where the scripted interaction between Ralof and Gerder take place with the player when they first get to Riverwood from Helgen. I'm just hoping the author bothered to relocate all of the x markers. That initial interaction is a scripted event, and now there's no stump for Ralof to sit on... Needs testing in a new game.

We'll finish up with Rally's Celestial Canvas
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/110869
"Complete Overhaul of Skyrim's Auroras, Galaxy and Stars."

Versions for SE, and VR along with 'fewer stars' versions, and a 16K 'galaxy' that looks like it came straight from the hubble. Worth a look. I'd say another for the pile, but this is Rally after all. Have a cookie

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!

Goooooooood morning Tamriel!

Ah'vrie wishes you well. It is Loredas the 10th of Sun's Dawn and wage slaves rejoice the weekend has arrived. It is raining in the desert again. The divines must still be battling with the evil wizard El Niño. It is also the last day of the festival of the new moons so the hunters have all moved indoors, putting an end to the drunken story telling around the fires. Maybe this wizard is not so evil after all LOL. Anyway, it is time once again for Ah'vrie to tend the inn for our most honored guests. Excuse please while the ash pits are emptied, and the fires rebuilt. You may want to cover your tankards for a bit. This tends to get a little dusty... There, much better no? Ah'vrie always likes to start the weekend with happy fires, and a happy fire needs to breathe. Now to compost the ash, tend the garden, scrub the kettles, and put fresh water to the boil. Ah'vrie needs his coffee yes he does.

Our brew of the day is Venezia, and the biscuits are classic fig newtons. Checking the hot sheets we have 40 new mods with the usual jiggles, dangles, accessories, patches and cheats. Let's see what catches the eye of an old cat that doesn't have a cup size...

AzureRye released Convenient Pouches as a first mod. Welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/111310
"Very nice and super wholesome pouches the player can find in their travels that will increase their carrying capacity!" Oh goody, adds over priced pouches to the general merchants that increase your carry weight by 10. You can look forward to totally cluttering up your inventory with these, while any of the backpack mods starts with a carry boost of 50. Your game your way... Thanks

Halffaces - Owl 'Zun' wine vessel - flagon replacer
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/111296
Now we know what happened to the Maltese Falcon. Everyone needs a hobby... Thanks

IWantATardis released 4K Mudcrab Chitin
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/111290
"4K or optional 2K retexture with smoother higher poly model." Much nicer than vanilla, but the old cat doesn't think it warrants 4K, the 2K option is more than enough for this one. Thanks

silvermetal released Less wide female draugr shoulders
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/111305
"Narrows the female draugr skeleton using Mu Skeleton Editor for maximum compatibility with any other skeleton" This requires the MU Skeleton editor. The edits do honestly look more natural, but the old cat has never used the skeleton editor. Requires testing.

wizkid34 released Campfire Complex Material Ash
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/111284
"Adds a nice blending, parallax effects and new HD textures to Campfire ash model, works with and without ENB." LOL, Only Wizkid could release a simple clean "I never knew I needed this" mod like this. LOL 2 cookies and an immediate download. The old cat can't un-see this. Requires Campfire of course.

And now you know how a modlist can grow into the hundreds and even the thousands. Little fixes you can't un-see

We'll finish up with Bethesda Plugin Manager for Mod Organizer by Parapets
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/111236
"Overhauls the Plugins panel in Mod Organizer with new functionality and tweaked visuals."

Notable changes from the vanilla plugin list:

Record conflicts are indexed and shown with icons and green/red highlights
Archive conflicts are also shown with cyan/magenta highlights
Plugins can be grouped together manually or imported from LOOT groups
Less use of font styles (bold, italic, etc.) on plugin names
Better visual feedback when attempting to drag plugins to invalid positions

This will obviously require testing, and the old cat will be chatting with the MO2 devs a little later. There are some limitations with the current Mod Organizer plugin API not all features can be fully enabled. A subset of features are also supported in other games, but this was intended for SSE/VR. Reserving judgement for now. have a cookie

And that will do for today. The fresh casks of ale were delivered on time, and the new batch of mead is ready so Ah'vrie hopes you're thirsty. We'll be serving mubcrab scrambles for the early meal. Wyvern and chips for the mid day meal, and ale braised sabrecat with sauteed carrots and twice baked garlic mashed potatoes for the late meal. 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!

Goooooood Morning Tamriel!

Ah'vrie wishes you well. It is Sundas the 11th of Sun's Dawn and the storms have finally passed on warm sands. The festival of the new moons is over, the hunters will be mostly sleeping off their hangovers today. It's simply a quiet day for late meals, catching up on chores, and spending time with the family... Who is this one kidding? Lock the doors turn off the phone, and put out the cat. Thar B dragons about, so 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 Bordeaux. Checking the hot sheets we have 45 new with all the usual suspects. Let's see what catches the eye of an old cat over a fresh cuppa. (Answer... not much today)

eklypse966 released Lockpick Shiv Replacer
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/111370
"Replacer mod that uses JS Unique Daggers to replace the lock pick shiv in the Vanilla and SoS lockpicking interface's." If it makes you happy, why not.

uArtt released Art's Solitude Streets as a second mod.
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/111362
"Change the ground textures from the streets of solitude" There is such a mismatch of color pallets... The old cat can't come up with a single scenario where this would look fitting in any mod list. Hard pass

Parallax Whiterun Streets by Omen Apollo
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/111382
"Replaces the whiterun streets texture with a beautiful parallax stone texture." This one is a bit overdone on the tessellation algorithm, and it's Whiterun, not White streets Thanks, but also not for old cats

And our final mod is from Frank Black

Diverse Hearthfire Ovens - Base Object Swapper
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/111376
"A Base Object Swapper mod that adds over twenty regional variants of the Hearthfire oven."

Let an old cat clarify... It changes what's on the warming shelf, not the actual oven. The idea being every time you enter a kitchen with an oven, something different was being cooked. This one gets a cookie because of baking ;-)

And that will do for today. The fires are stoked yada yada. Enjoy what remains of the weekend. We-B-Open!

Goooooood morning Tamriel!

Ah'vrie wishes you well. It is Morndas the 12th of Sun's Dawn and a quiet predawn here on warm sands. Wage slaves lament, the weekend is over. The blessed moons begin to wax, and the nights grow shorter. All is as it should be. 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 Chessmen. Checking the hot sheets we have 43 new with lots of jiggles, dangles, patches and goofs. Let's see what catches he eyes of an old cat this morning over a fresh cuppa.

mabezard released Realistic Galaxy as a first mod Welcome.
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/111458
"Realistic depiction of the Milky Way with accurate size and rotation." This is not 'another for the pile' This is a very natural looking sky, with one milky way that rotates in the correct direction. It even corrects water reflections. Not over the top, not overly bright... This one really caught the old cats eye, first mod or not. 2 cookies, downloaded to see in game.

And in comparison... Vanilla fantasy at it's best.

Iconic's Galaxy and Stars
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/111440
"Original vanilla galaxy upscaled, and remastered. Improved stars. Ultra lore and vanilla friendly." Nice update, worth a look.

Saalok released Crimson Nirnroot Bosses
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/111418
"Adds three bosses who drop 10 Crimson Nirnroot each, allowing you an alternative (or complementary) way to complete A Return to Your Roots." "I wanted an alternative way to complete the quest." Ah'vrie likes this better than stuffing them in a chest somewhere. The old cat has always liked Blackreach, but your game your way. Thanks

JobiWanUK released Old People Sounds All In One
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/111436
"Makes old people complain about the cold, grumble, cough, cry out in pain and say 'oh dear'. An all in one of three of my other 'old people' mods with some additional dialogue. ESL flagged and very lightweight." LOL Maybe a little too real. Thanks

We have a couple of 'heart warming' mods today. A bit rare in Skyrim modding...

Bring Meeko to Lod Best Friend Patches by Bectile
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/111243
"Modifies the wonderful "Bring Meeko to Lod" mod to allow Meeko to spend the night inside with Lod, and to follow him everywhere. Gives him a custom treat bowl and a rug to lie on. Patches for overhauls including RedBag's Falkreath, CotN Falkreath and Vanilla Skyrim."

Honestly, I haven't used Bring Meeko To Lod since my last game update, and I'm missing it. This is a good enough reason for a fresh download. Meeko's a good puppy in need of a home. It's a great mod.

damakarmelowa released Heartwood Mill - Save Leifnarr
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/111435
"Ever wanted a happier ending for the missing husband quest at Heartwood Mill? Now you can find Leifnarr alive and bring him home to his family!"

It's hard to believe this wasn't already done in the past. Nice concept, and hopefully nice execution. This does edit existing dialog, adds new dialog, and gives Liefnarr a new AI package and sandboxing. Needs testing, but this is a two cookie mod if it works as advertised. Downloaded for testing.

colinswrath released Gray Really Blended Roads
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/111383
"Retextures really blended roads with gray stones to better match various mountain mods."

This would have been the perfect time to upscale, and also to provide parallax textures as well. As it is, you have three choices of grey stone color for the original blended roads meshes. The old cat likes the dark grey, but wishes it looked 'better'. Thanks

And finally...

Missives - Unique Missive Boards by MissileMann
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/111375
"Adds unique missive boards to Falkreath, Dawnstar, Morthal, and Winterhold based on the COTN series of architecture!"

COTN is not required, the missive boards simply follow the architecture of that mod. It's nice to see some variation. This one gets a cookie.

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!

Gooooooood morning Tamriel!

Ah'vrie wishes you well. it is Tirdas the 13th of Sun's Dawn and a chilly predawn here on warm sands. The blessed moons have set, the paths are closed, and it is once again time 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.

Our brew of the day is classic Ristretto, and the biscuits are Almond biscotti. Cjecking the hot sheets we have 45 new with all the usual suspects. Let's see what catches the eye of an old cat over a fresh cuppa...

ni1by2 released released an edited copy of Spaghetti's Faction Halls - AIO as a first mod.
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/111509
"No Fort Dawnguard or Thieves Guild" because they use other overhauls. Thanks for sharing

0NorthernWinds released Kemelzuun - A Dwemer Player Home
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/111450
An over the top mid game player home near Dragon bridge. Classic display everything personal museum, with no internal load doors. Multi adoption / multi follower friendly. It's Dwemer themed, but uses regular wooden furniture. A bit over the top for old cats, but a viable option if you want your own personal museum.

Savvy's Tel Mithryn Bedroom
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/111520
"A cozy bedroom inside Tel Mithryn, on an artificial second floor." Made specifically for their character "who is far too proud and posh to be sleeping on the dirty floor" And why not... Worth a look for a Solsteim start. Thanks

nicola89b released Lightened Skyrim - Base Object Swapper edition
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/111475
This is a new version of their popular mod. "Gain FPS across Skyrim with no visual difference! This is the version for Base Object Swapper." Because potatoes need love too.

StellarWind22 released Stellar Banking
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/111495
"Adds a simple bank account system to Skyrim with interest, loans, gold to coin exchange, & A safety deposit box." Does not add any banks, just added dialog to the Jarl's stewards.

Everything is handled through console variables for now. and the funds are shared across all holds... Might be worth a look when it's all growed up. Interesting concept, needs work.

Let's see... This is interesting. Kreiste x tatururutia x wSkeever put together a pair of mods for lunar new year.

Dragonwood Pugilist Outfit
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/111455
"This mod adds 2 sets of outfits and one-handed sword inspired by the Eastern culture of Tamriel (?)" Eastern culture... Please... LOL

Siblings of Sales - Quest Mod
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/111466
"Short quest line to help some merchants from the east"

The prize for the quests are the outfits and the sword from the first mod which is required. It also requires the Simply open source voice pack. Thanks.

we'll finish up with Silent Moons Camp by snozz2004
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/111465
"Exterior & Interior Overhaul of Silent Moons Camp" On the outside it adds a few additional NPCs and some walkways and steps. On the inside it adds an underforge, as well as a mine, and more additional NPCs to kill. Worth a look. Thanks

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!

Ah'vrie wishes you well. It is Middas the 14th of Sun's Dawn and a peaceful predawn here on warm sands. The blessed moons wax through the first crescents as they must, and 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 stick with little heart shaped biscuits today. Checking the hot sheets we have 54 new, mostly jiggles and patches. Let's see what caught the eye that doesn't have a cup size.

brashvarnish released two 'first' tail mods today. Welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... user+files
Both are SMP, the Argonian tail looks a bit too stiff while resting to an old cat's eye, but thanks

RangeMachine released Oxygen Meter 2 - 1130-1170 Updated DLL
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/111563
The title says it all. Thanks

Here's one for Valentines day... Skyrim Style

Kanjs - Heart Animated and Beating Motion
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/111616
"I added REMESHES and retextured The Heart up to 4K with some animated motion and emissive light, and yes, the animation still works when the item doesn't move! The ENB blood decals are also already fixed!"

I wish this one would learn that not every bloody thing in the game needs to glow.

kuroishitam released Deadly Bear Trap Base Object Swapper
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/111550
"This swaps regular bear traps with bear traps from Traps NTR mod" Requires traps NTR obviously. Plugin free with a 50% chance of swap. Thanks? LOL

And finally we'll give the top slot to TheSenateBoi releasing a first mod. Welcome.

Dragon's Teeth Prison - A Dungeon Mod
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/111523
"Dragon's Teeth Prison - A Dungeon Mod adds a small scale dungeon to the Dragon's Teeth Mountains just west of Falkreath. The mod contains the Dragon's Teeth Prison location, a new enemy faction for the player to interact with, and a boss fight."

"This is my first published mod, and is an application to join the Skyblivion design team. Endorsements are very much apprenticed, I hope you like the mod!"

This was ambitious as a first mod, and by the posts, it's larger than expected and very well crafted. Just what we need for Skyrim. Thanks, have a cookie

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!

Goooooood morning Tamriel!

Ah'vrie wishes you well. it is Turdas the 15th of Sun's Dawn and another quiet predawn at the inn. The blessed moons have set, the paths are closed, and it is once again time for Ah'vrie to tend the inn for our most honored guests. Excuse please while the fires are stoked, and fresh water put to the boil.

Our brew of the day is from India, and the biscuits are Bordeaux. Checking the hot sheets we have 43 new with all the usual jiggles, dangles, patches, and goofs. Let's see what catches the eye of an old cat over a fresh cuppa... Maybe two ;-)

Adlez8475 released Awesome Potions Replacer - B O S as a first mod. Welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/111671
Well it's definitely a new author... 25% chance to replace Revoith's models with Mathy's, but Mathy's mod is listed as recommended but not required LOL. We were all young once. Thanks and welcome

Xatherine released Currency Icons and Category for Coins Added by Coins of Tamriel
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/111647
The title is the description. Thanks

Arcs Kitchen Redux 2k - 4k
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/111694
"Arcs Kitchen Redux is a remesh and 4k texture overhaul for Skyrims Kitchen pots and ladle, no esp" And some of the nicest models the old cat has seen. It's always nice when common clutter gets a little love. Textures, normal, and cube maps look perfect. 2 cookies. Thanks Downloaded in 2K for the next build

Rally's Orc Furniture
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/111457
"Overhaul for Orc furniture and finally pillows for Orc beds. They want comfy beds too ;)"
Also guilty of showing a little love for oft missed common items. These are interesting textures. The old cat is not sure if he likes the crudely shaved bark as a finished texture even for Orcs, but it definitely has a unique look about it. Thanks, have a cookie

Saalok released Bleeding Pale - A Coastal Player Home in the Pale
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/111658
"A simple vampiric-themed player home for the northern reaches of Skyrim, located to the west of Dawnstar" Understated and nicely done. Thanks

LilyValley807 released Werewolf Retexture
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/111669
"Replacer for werewolf textures (and eye color if desired). Made from scratch" Yeesh... swing and a miss on this one. Angular with visible seams. Some nice color choices...
Pass, but keep working at your craft.

olivierbest released the Blue Night Retching Netch
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/111576
"ADD TES 3 Lantern, Blue light and Remove some nordic clutter, hay, web to give at this tavern a more Dunmer style, Less dusty" An interesting look, and we like the idea of cleaning up the place... Thanks, but not for old cats.

We'll finish up with something a little different.

Whales Off The Coast by Clofas1
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/111681
"Uses Sound Record Distributor to play distant whale sounds while exploring coastal regions." SRD is a hard requirement, and the trigger chance is set to 1% but can be edited in the Yaml. The formIDs need to be compacted to use a light plugin, the author promised a light version later today. I wish they included some sound samples, but it's an interesting idea. Thanks, have a cookie on account.

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!

Goooooood morning Tamriel!

Ah'vrie wishes you well. It is Fredas the 16th of Sun's Dawn, and thank the divines the weekend is nigh. The blessed moons wax through the first quarter tonight on their eternal journey, but the blessed have set for now, 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.

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/111763

ArtistoMods released Missives - Notes Retexture Darkened
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/111765

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/111728

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!

Goooooooood morning Tamriel!

Ah'vrie wishes you well. It is Loredas the 17th of Sun's Dawn and a crisp predawn here on warm sands. Wage slaves rejoice the weekend has arrived. The blessed moons have set, the paths are closed, and it is once again time for Ah'vrie to tend the inn for our most honored guests. Excuse please while the sash pits are emptied and the fires rebuilt. You may want to cover your tankards for a bit as this can be a tad dusty... There, much better no? Ah'vrie always likes to start the weekend off with happy fires, and happy fires need to breathe. Now to compost the ash, scrub the kettles, check the garden, and put fresh water to the boil.

The life of an innkeeper is glamorous no? Our brew of the day is Inspirazione a Napoli, and we'll be baking fresh biscuits when Ah'vrie returns from the markets later. For now we have plenty of Toll House. Checking the hot sheets we have 58 new mods with jiggles a plenty. Lets see what catches the eye of an old cat over a fresh cuppa or three...

TheGuardian68 released Tiny Camp as a first mod. Welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/111824
"This mod adds a small camp between Whiterun and Windhelm, just down the hill from the waterfall at Valtheim Towers. The chest is safe (I hope). I plan on adding a cooking pot, but since I am a new modder, I am unsure how to. Suggestions are welcome."

fresh blood that's humble, lore friendly, and not in Riverwood? Have a cookie

winedave released wd - Barrels
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/111722
"New models and textures for barrels. Available in 4K, 2K and 1K Resolutions" Uniformly old a weathered, with a bit of rust on the bands. A little 'blah' but very nicely done.

LordWushin released Realistic Lighting Overhaul - Interiors Addon
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/111830
"Realistic Lighting Overhaul SSE (RLO) changes many interiors to Skyrim. Throughout the development of the RLO, a few interiors were missed. That is where this mod comes in."

This is a WIP and currently only covers the arch mage quarters.

xavbio released Spell Knight Armors Retexture SE
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/111518
"Retextures all 3 variants of the Spell Knight sets" and beautiful work as always. The old cat will comment on the Ebony version looking decidedly looks more Dwemer than Ebony... Still, worth a look and a cookie. Thanks

We'll finish up with two from toostruus
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... user+files
Snowy variants for carts and ships in snowy regions... The titles says it all. Worth its cookies as always. Thanks.

And that will do for today. The Ale was delivered on time, and the new batch of mead is ready. We're serving slaughterfish scrambles with roast diced potatoes this morning, and a hearty Carrot, potato and Dragon stew for the late meal, so this one hopes your hungry. 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!

Gooooooood Morning Tamriel!

Ah'vrie wishes you well. It is Sundas the 18th of Sun's Dawn 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 boil.

Our brew of the day is Istanbul espresso, and the biscuits are Chessmen. Checking the hot sheets we have 60 new with all the usual suspects. Let's see what catches the eyes of an old cat over a fresh cuppa or two.

iimlenny released Axe 2K-8K by iimlenny
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/111950
"This is a Mesh and Texture Replacer for Skyrims Axe in 2K-8K" Nothing special, but there's something about the simplicity of this model that speaks to me. Thanks

Speaking of castles... IgnusTeras released Fort Dawnguard Annex
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/111934
"Adds a medium-sized, fully navmeshed, cozy castle home with dynamic day/night lighting to fort dawnguard." Not for old cats, but thanks

nicola89b rteleased two more 'lightened' mods today with JKs in the cross hairs.
https://www.nexusmods.com/users/1316802?tab=user+files
It never occurred to Ah'vrie that someone would make versions of JK's mods for potatoes. Cookie for the effort

HS Windhelm - The White Phial
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/111754
"Overhauls The White Phial in Windhelm." Definitely changes the floor plan around. The old cat would want to see this in game. the dynamic changes 'before and after' repairing the phial are a nice touch. Thge old cat does wonder where Winladia's satchel ends up LOL. Worth a look. Nicely done, and consistent with the other mods in the series. Thanks

Dasinho's Grass Edit - Folkvangr (partially) Reimagined
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/111893
"Edits the pine forest, tundra, and rift grasses of Folkvangr to freshen up the experience while using the mod." Call this a WIP as there will probably be other edits. Not fond of the dead grasses added to the tundra, but that's one of the edits that may go away. Worth a look. We love choices

And finally, we do have a mod of the day of sorts...

Simplicity of Stalking - Automatically Follow NPCs by wSkeever
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/111867
"Press hotkey to follow NPCs around" Requires Papyrus extender and papyrus utils. Allows you to target an NPC and then automatically follow them. The old cat could totally see this for following Camilla to the bridge, Delphine to Kynesgrove, or Neloth to a certain sunken Dwemer city... It might only get used a handful of times in the game, but the old cat really likes this one LOL. Even if only for that annoying stroll from the Bard's college to the blue palace. Have a cookie or two.

And that will do for today. The fires are stoked, the kettles scrubbed, and the floors are swept. Have a seat by the fire and warm your bones. We-B-open!
