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

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!
