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.

well we could get The Sun every day, but the newspaper just isnt the same as real sunshine :)

Well at least it keeps you informed about all the gossip ....

true, but i always got confused with the page numbers.. id start at page 1,
next page was 2
next page was 3, but i kept thinking 2

cool rhyme steve :)

btw avrie, that Riften Extension - Southwoods District does look nice.... the only thing i think could be a cool improvement to it, is in the screenshot with the raw meat slabs on the counter, maybe to have them on a wooden plate too, just like the fish.. i mean maybe people used to just put raw meat on the table, but im guessing even in medieval times they used plates to keep the counter clean? :)

btw ladyeternity, how many days until your sunflower is fully grown? :)

No, you really don't want to use Mihail's mods. Adds tons literally tons to the game - in each and every cell, at least 2 and sometimes 3 or 4 in each and every single cell. Only suggested that you use, at most, maybe 1 or 2 of his mods - and even then it is a good idea to edit the records to trim the numbers down. That cat mod, I had to reduce the numbers by around 60 to 70%. His mods are a severe drag on the game. (And I did try the squirrel mod - one of his bad ones.)

Smr & NMM - My precioussss!

Top O the Morning To You and Happy St. Patrick's day. Ahhhhya stretches Excuse me. Damn time change always takes me a few days to get used to. Mind the pixies and watch out for green beer.

Nothing changes here in Elsweyr but the markets open an hour earlier and I have 4 contracts expiring on Friday... need coffee, lots of coffee... where's that IV rig?

[Avrie]

Goooooood Morning Tamriel!

Avrie wishes you well, It's Middas the 17th of First Seed and another chilly night here on warm sands. The blessed moons have set and the paths are closed. Time for this one to ready the inn for his most honored guests. Excuse please while the fires are tended and fresh water is drawn for the kettles...

Brew of the day is Envivo Lungo, and it's muffins on Middas as always. Checking the hot sheets we have 24 new. All the usual suspects and here Avrie took the earlier Moon path... Never mind. Let's see what catches the eyes of an old cat over a fresh cuppa...

Let's change things up. Enigma0509 released two weapon mods today
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/users/173683?tab=user+files

Basically an assembled mashups of weapons by BillyRo, NordwarUA, and Mr. Dave. A nice set weapons for a medieval style play through. Have a cookie

LostBoyLazarus released an edited version of Temple of the Divines Frescoes by Arduunos
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/47085
An interesting look, it has a very Tarot card flavor. There's a mosaic variation as well but... well they are not... Let's say the tile textures could have been better. Have a cookie anyway.

Oaristys released Missives - The Witcher Board HD (4K-2K-ENB Light)
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/47097
This mod replaces the actual missive board with an HD version sniped from the Witcher 3. Not bad, have a cookie as well.

Azulmono56 decided to try and cheat Nocturnal. Not the smartest bet but...

Keep the Skeleton Key - Deceive Nocturnal (For Legacy of the Dragonborn)
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/47083
It's only their second mod. But this ones luck comes into question.

raiden917raiden released Wearable Flame Atronach Armor (CBBE)
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/47090
Well that should keep you warn ... Not exactly useful for a stealth character LOL

And finally we'll finish up with TB's 4K Caves
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/47091
Avrie really wants to like The Blender Animator, He always has some interesting texture choices that for one reason or another that really look good but amiss the mark in one way or another. This unfortunately is no exception. Avrie really like the rock lichen textures. But a lack of blending (Ironic no?) with non altered textures and unedited cube maps and alpha channels leave shiny glowing artifacts at the seams which look obvious and horrendous. Swing and a miss yet again TB... More attention to details needed.

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!

* Pops in to get out of the rain and starts cookie hunting. * I agree that the textures could be better; the upload was a straight conversion of the original mod. Think I'll start work on a true mosaic after work today :)

Good morning, all! Good morning and welcome to the Coffee House LBL! left a reply in your thread, by the way.

So, it's St. Patty's Day. Guess that explains why all the pixies are dressed in green! Well, they know enough to stay away from my build - or they should!

You got a cookie mate! Believe me when I tell you that means you're on the right path. Well done!

Yeah, I liked the look. I think the tile textures are too small mostly. it competes with the edges of the complex graphics and the overall result looks fuzzy or pixelated if you will. A larger tile would make a dramatic difference without making any other changes.

I like the graphics though, you earned that cookie ;-)

[Avrie]

Well it might be St. Patty's day but you'd be hard pressed to see Green in the markets today LOL. The 10yr treasury drifted up 3 basis points and the S&P totally tanks tech again. Chairman Powers is going to have another FED announcement this morning... Time to walk away. Meh, the market sentiment right now is like the weather in Skyrim... wait a few minutes. Just going to be one of those days. This is when the noobs panic. I make a decaf and head to work LOL.

I do need to point out that there’s a few Irish out there fuming at the use of “Patty”.
Including a 70 year old who lives in my village ....

It’s “Paddy” .... from “Padraig” .... the Irish for Patrick
A Patty is something you use to make a burger.

He was fuming about this only yesterday ... which is why it’s fresh in my memory.

[lizrdfishr]

Irish as Paddy's Pipes.

Ghod I love the music on St Patrick's day!

Hope everyone stays safe with today's predicted storms here in the central part of the US. Weatherman said our area is not in the bulls eye but we're on the dartboard.

Can't wait for the weather to finally clear this Friday or Saturday. We've had thick cloud cover for almost two weeks. I'll finally have first light for my new telescope setup. Been doing dry runs in my living room. The hand controller seems to be working fine, but I am having trouble setting up the connection from my laptop to the equatorial mount. There is so much to learn it's almost like setting up a new mod list.

Stay safe and keep your heads down with those tornado warnings if and when they come.

That sounds mild compared to the Rabbit Arms mod which adds Daedrabbits to the world in absolute swarms which often replace other enemy types entirely as well as killing NPCs since they can spawn by the dozens wherever rabbits normally appear. I had to restart to remove them after a few barely workable hours of highly mobile (they practically zip around the battle field like The Flash) monsters who level with the Dragonborn on a 1:1 scale.
