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.

I do like chocolate chips in baked goods though, obviously

Like nestles chocolate chip cookies, when the butter is just perfect at mixing time, so they come out soft and gooey and yummy ~.~

I've never eaten a pistachio, I don't think. I remember having green ice cream in Covent Garden when I was... Probably about six? And of course I expected it to be minty but it was BAD, because it was pistachio - I have no idea what it was actually like but it wasn't what I was expecting so it was Horrible. Never felt inclined to try again

[smr1957]

I find that many so called pistachio ice creams are like the tea in Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, but with reference to the nut - almost, but not quite, entirely unlike pistachio.

Gooooooood morning Tamriel!

it is Tirdas the 5th of Sun's Dusk and congratulations on surviving another Morndas... Um, if you did of course. Moving right along. It is time once again for this one to tend the inn so excuse please while the fires are stoked, and fresh water is brought to a boil...

Our brew of the day is Insprirazione a Napoli, and the biscuits are currently in a heated election. We won't know the for hours, but currently sugar cookies has a slight lead. Checking the hot sheets we have 39 new mods with the usual eclectic mix of jiggles, patches, goofs, and the odd pointy stick. Let's have a look over a fresh cuppa.

Ffelix03 released Better Race Abilities as a first mod. Welcome
We'll see if there's any room left on the pile

cubefusion released Dude Where's My House as a first mod. Welcome
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/132405
...? It just covers 4 vanilla houses. This one obviously never heard of xLodgen. Pass

ClainAlvim released Much Richer Merchants - ALL Versions - 2024
No link needed for this one. Obviously a sugar cookie supporter

dragoncosmico released a couple of texture mods that look vanilla or worse?
https://next.nexusmods.com/profile/dragoncosmico/mods?gameId=1704
Not a clue... moving right along

Dustmo7e released two more versions of Whiterun Interior Walls Painted
https://next.nexusmods.com/profile/Dustmo7e/mods?gameId=1704
Brighter colors and new textures... Should have all been optional choices in the original mod, but what ever works.

HalfbitShirlock released Medieval Towers - Unique Civil War Forts
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/132923
"Adds new tower turret models unique to civil war forts and Helgen, with interiors for you to explore!" Your game your way

Let's get to the good stuff already... We do have a mod of the day


Lollia released Heart-To-Heart - Conversations Among Family
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/133173
"Featuring over 230 conversation scenes created from carefully spliced and re-purposed dialogue, Heart-To-Heart seeks to liven up your family."

The second video is basically all audio examples. and the old cat recommends a listen. A lot of work went into this, and it's spliced not AI. It's hard to tell the timing from the samples without visuals, but it definitely adds a lot of content. For those that like big families this one is definitely worth a listen. 2 cookies and tracking

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!

Controversial opinion time: I don't like when ice cream has chocolate chips (or even worse, big pieces of chocolate like some of the Ben & Jerry flavours have) in it. It's too frozen and biting into them is Bad

I like the Ben&Jerry with chocolate in it....
I also like Mint & Choc Chip....
What I don't get is Cookie Dough... call me strange but I want cookies in my ice cream not cookie dough.

[gnewna]

Mint choc chip is great but I will end up with a little pile of uneaten chips if it's not the superior kind where they're more like shavings

Especially as Trump wouldn't get a say in whether the National Guard gets deployed, that would be a bloody mess.

Stop there everyone... I don not want to see this thread degrade into a political debate. I have my opinions as well. Trust me, but this is not the place to voice them. Unless it's a swing vote for Chocolate chips I don't want to hear it.

Sorry, I wasn't commenting on the politics, even if it seems that way, I was commenting on the potential for it all to go very nasty... and potentially lethally so.

Which I do hope doesn't happen.
Not commenting on the politics because it isn't my country, so I don't have a say.

I love both tbh...
But not everyone is the same... if they were we would still have spicy vinegar from the nineties (which I loved but it disappeared after about a year)

[smr1957]

That Heart-To-Heart mods sounds really great from the examples - yeah, that gets a place when In my build when I get around to it.

[Liquid Inc]

I'll stick with ice cream "lollies" covered in chocolate. Choco Chips belong in cookies, not ice cream!

[Avrie]

While I tend to agree for the most part... there are exceptions to every rule.

Chunky monkey and Cherry Garcia. My doom!

Though I definitely do like Klondike bars. Those I can at least have. I can't have dough anymore so classic ice cream sandwiches are out, and Chipwich... That was a great loss

[Black Album]

I make myself an “ice cream thingy” every Sunday evening … I’ve been doing it for years and years and my beloved is cool with it because she’s not a big fan of ice cream … too cold for her teeth.

Anyway …
It’s made in a pint “dimple glass” with a handle.
Half a pint of good quality ice cream … only the best will do … none of that soft scoop rubbish.
2 Cadbury 99 flakes … crushed ..
Half a teaspoon of brown sugar
A twadge of milk
Mix it all together and eat with a long handled spoon

I “invented” it as a child and I’m still making it to this day …
It’s my treat to me …

[gnewna]

Ah, there's nothing like a childhood treat!

It's not a flavor per se, but this week I'll be dispensing of leftover Holloween snickers bars (a small quantity to be sure) in my usual way, by chopping them up, mixing them in ice cream (vanilla or coffee are the usual flavors) and re-freezing them in a chocolate graham cracker crust. My family all acknowledge that it would be healthier to just eat the candy, but nobody cares :D.

[alexander_dougherty]

If you are going that unhealthy, and lets be honest I would, then why not add toffee sauce over the top? (American's can use Caramel sauce which is usually exactly the same thing)

I personally would go for mixing broken up Aero's with ice cream, and topping it with Toffee sauce and a smidge of evaporated milk, then refreezing it... especially as you can get about four different flavours of Aero (Chocolate, Mint, Caramel and Coffee)....
