If you're new to Skyrim, or just having problems, and not sure where to begin ... Just ask. All are welcome, If you can grow pubic hair you're already an old fart to someone.

This is just a place to hang, chat, ask questions, and get abused by forum regulars. Feel free to drop by ... We might not have all the answers, but we probably already know the people that do, and we will be happy to help.

Bashing, spamming, self promoting, advertising, and trolling will simply provide us with target practice and make you look really lame. Please leave politics and religion at the door as well.

Personal attacks against forum guests based on country, race, ethnicity, and lifestyle preferences will not be tollerated in any way ... Period, and we will be enforcing the moderators rules around here ... Period

Keep it clean (mostly) While the game is listed as mature, a lot of the people aren't
Keep it civil (always) arguing a little is fine, just keep it friendly

Move over young ones ... Gramps moved back in.

Community

That’s why this thread is here.

Either you already love the game, and you’re rediscovering it all over again, or you’re just discovering it now for the first time, or you own a console and you’re just discovering modding … or you just plain got suckered into spending the money ... Whatever brought you to Skyrim and here to the forums, the one thing that was missing was a place where you don’t need an excuse to just kick off the boot’s pull up a chair and ask a question, tell a story, and get help if you need it.

Ilja owns the inn, I just manage the room, but it’s my room my rules, so behave or you won’t be invited back for coffee and biscuits. He runs the coffee room over on the LE side. (usually … lately he’s been in Minion land beating up witches and creapers, but promises to return when his house is done... if he doesn't get lost ;-)

Now community isn’t just about feeling welcome. It’s also about helping each other. My friends and I have been working on making a series of new basic configuration guides for SSE. Are they better than a gopher video? … heck no, are they flashy and well-made like a Gamer Poets video? ahhh … nope, not even close! In fact they're not videos at all. Just simple guides.

But what makes them worth a look is the fact that they are community supported, and you can always come here and ask for help if you have any problems... And if you do have any problems, we’ll help you sort it out, and then update the guides. Now you’re helping others with the same issues.

That’s why this room is here.

I’ll be posting links to the guides as soon as we write and proof read them.

I was introduced to some very nice people recently, there was something very special about the idea of die-hard gamers helping better the lives of children through games. I do hope you'll visit and bring a smile to some one who needs it.

Here are some links you'll want to find quickly.

Coming Soon ... Old Farts Guides Redux ... please pardon the mess while we renovate!

Yeah and I'm lying. I started writing a new series of SSE guides, but I'm outside working in the desert heat all day and I just haven't had the energy. I need down time to do this right, and with this Covid thing I may get my wish.

WIP ... Book 3 was scrapped, Book 2 is going to get a full overhaul very soon. (changing the focus back to techniques, not specific mods ... might take a while)

The SKSE guide got a face lift. I simplified the instructions which also makes it compatable for advanced installation with WB or MO as well as (EOL) NMM

Hallooooo *bagsies the second best chair and a spot for a cuppa*

[Black Album]

I'll reserve one too ... could be worth a fortune in years to come ...

[Avrie]

wanted something fun ... If you can't laugh at yourself :)

[Black Album]

Sent a message to DJ .... do we have a naughty step set up for him yet ??

[Avrie]

No naughty step, but the rack, and pillary are free, (there's a 2 Oclock for the pillary so tell him to get a move on)

[Black Album]

We may need an air-freshener too ...

I've noticed when a lot of Old Farts get together ..... there's very often a new fart smell that arrives too ... I'm not pointing any fingers but it's something to be aware of.

[Avrie]

Just invited Ilja, but he's mining with the block heads again LOL. Hope he's not offended, I saved him the best seat

@ BA, it was the dog, I swear ... F-in wearwolves
