Skyrim Superian sounds underweight for her size and build. Seventeen hands puts her into Shire territory, based on the standard Skyrim horse build. Those weigh at least 2000 pounds (yes, a TON). The lighter horses I've seen in Skyrim Horses Renewal's meshes look to be 1700 to 1800 pounds if they are the same height as the heavies.

Just my two cents as both a veterinarian and former horse owner (RIP Rosie).

Oh wow, Rider! Thanks. No wonder Buffy's 'walk on water' mojo for Superian doesn't work in Skyrim! It took a lot of magicka to keep the lighter Oblivion mare afloat - probably hopeless in Skyrim.

The mighty mare has no trouble moving though, and she remains fast - even with all the stuff Buffy puts on her sometimes - Screenshot

Yes, I guess you would know about horses, eh rider? ... Haute ecole is some sort of riding style, right? I Googled your name a while back.

That's more great advice, Acadian. I found a mod awhile back called Faster Horses. Got that in my game, but it seems to conflict with the other two horse mods I've got (Simple Saddlebags and Command Mount). ALL the NPC horses are faster, which is awesome. I used to get frustrated sometimes when my character would walk alongside an Imperial Legion, and they move ..... so ....................slow in the vanilla game. So Faster Horses was a good add, because it makes NPC horses 30% faster I think. Somewhere around there.

But for some reason, Saga's horse still moves at vanilla speed, and I think it's because my other 2 horse mods overwrite it. Well not any more! I'm not going to make bays too much faster, but they definitely will be faster than vanilla.

EDIT: that screenie looks like an oil painting!

I just used Wrye Bash's A-bug fixing tool to get rid of the A-bomb in Saga's game. She's at 193 hours. It's interesting because I downloaded WB last week. I've been learning it slowly. And I remember Acadian mentioning something about it's got an A-bomb fixer. So that saved a lot of time & Google searches, having this knowledge.

I'm so glad you can power through the A bomb now, Renee! I simply love the WB ability to fix it so easily/quickly.

WB is so invaluable when you have modded games. The more mods you have, the more important WB gets. I really love it for those complex mods that are so difficult to install correctly.

Not much to report this time, actually. Lothran went some errands around the Market District and that´s about it. Just like where I live, rain was pouring down and the dark elf preferred to stay at Stonewall Shields and enjoy the fine selection there.

I swear that the tagline for TES games should be: "exposure means addiction"!

Anyway, just to update, Eilidh is alive and well and currently on sabbatical in Morrowind, a region to which she has never been.
Updates will be appearing in Phon's fanfic thread and the screenies thread...

Renee was attacked by Eugal Belette. Since I set-staged most of the Main Quest, NPCs who are part of the Mythic Dawn have been showing themselves when Renee shows up in town. Anyways, Eugal flipped in front of several other NPCs right in the middle of Chorrol. He was attacked by a guard, Renee, and Renee's follower (a mage named Smokey) so Eugal didn't have much of a chance.

Renee got his house key though. And now she has a house to come to whenever she's in Chorrol.



You got that right.

Renee Gade III just leveled up to 7. I gave her +2 in Strength, and +3 in Willpower and Agility.

Some things in her life lately: she and a Cm Partner mage named Smokey went in that vampire fort near Hackdirt. Smokey wound up getting killed unfortunately, and Renee didn't stick around in there. Too dangerous. MMM added some sort of flesh golem and a couple other uber-baddies.

Renee also bought the Waterfront Shack, but (get this) she's not going to be staying there. I found a mod called Maple Cottage a couple months ago, and by chance Renee just happened to stumble upon the method to acquiring this house. I didn't spoil myself on this one. She went to speak to the Shadowbanish lady in Wawnet Inn, and this is the way to start the quest to gain Maple Cottage.

Anyway, instead of living in some crummy old shack, she's now got a fully-furnished cottage. It's got a tanning rack, some sort of smithing table, many beds & containers. Lots of alcohol & food in the cellar. First thing she wound up doing after exploring the place was she got drunk. Fell over on the stone floor.

Now she and her newest companion (a Khajiit archer) are headed towards Cheydinhal. Renee joined the Fighters Guild, so she's going to Cheydinhal first. I found a Fighters Guild mod which adds quests, so that'll be fun. I think they're random quests, too.

Where is Maple Cottae located and when are you gonna give us pixies?

Is Maple Cottage part of Shezries Towns? It seems familiar, and I don't run many OB mods other than my own. That's an exception, as I helped her develop some of the content, and needed to have a copy myself.

Sounds like one of Emma's wonderful home mods. Sure enough. . . Maple Cottage?

*DING DING DING* Yup, you got it Acadian. Maple Cottage winds up right across from the Waterfront District, about halfway along that pathway. It's cute! .. And it's funny too because although she owns the Waterfront Shack, and will be paying taxes on it, she has no real reason to live there. She doesn't like the Waterfront much anyways. But despite the fact that she's not living there, she has a reason to return there.

I found another mod (yeah, sorry mirocu) called Cooking Mod or something such. This places a burning Ayleid cask in the fireplace area of any owned home. If you put certain food items in there, and throw a fire spell of any kind at the fireplace, raw food is now cooked, and gives better bonuses. We can even make perfume!

I tried to put some pix up last night in the Screenie thread, but Imgur's traffic must have been heavy because it was really slow!

ghastle.y: Shezries Town sounds like something new to explore.

Fredas, 2:29 PM, Frostfall 26: Renee nearly got killed in Sercen, she went in there by herself, managed to lure a couple of marauders off for her to rid, by getting them from a distance with her chakram. But then she got swarmed by three others at once.

But she made it alive. Now she is in Cheydinhal, and her Khajiit archer is still with her. She's come up with a new plan. Since she's got a slew of random quests now (all added by mods), she's decided to build up a party. Just like in DnD. And just like one of Grit's characters likes to do. CM Partners adds all kinds of new NPCs, so Renee has been going around to inns and guilds looking for others to join her.

So far she's got a Breton mage from the Mage's Guild, and a dark elf Pilgrim from the Fighter's Guild. She outfitted the dark elf in leather & fur armor (her Majors include Light Armor) but the mage is supposed to be very talented in just robes. Or so it's implied.

Anyways, a party of four. I hope this works! .. Grits, how many in total were you able to add? I remember you had quite a party going. Did this make CTDs more frequent?

Yikes, a close call for Renee! I’m glad she made it.

Jerric had a party of three others plus a dog and a horse for his Emperor’s Day trip. For a while they also had his buddy Shameer with them. I don’t remember CTDs but there was quite a lot of hilarity. The archer and mage kept shooting and burning the healer, dog, and swordsmen. Plus two of them are summoners so roadside fights tended to get hectic.

Darian travels with Velwyn Benirus, Erthor, Reynald Jemane, and Guilbert Jemane on the PS3 and they get along pretty well. It’s fun to have them all spread out and pick their own fights in a dungeon.

Yikes! You had better marshal that army of Renaries. You are not playing Renee as Dead is Dead are you?

Whoa, you got all those guys on PS3?? Hey, if the PS3 can handle them all, I shouldn't have a problem with my Party of Five on PC, eh? .. She has decided on a Party of Five. Just like the silly TV show that used to be on Fox. She's going to find one more follower, then she's off to the Jerrals!






I .... am ! Yeah, I am. Hence, that's why she's pulling together some serious strategy with the Party of Five idea. To be fair, Renee was not using her usual claymore up above. She has a silver claymore somewhere, but it got lost somehow. Probably due to all the Maple Cottage excitement. So she was using a longsword with no board instead of her usual claymore, and this is what was causing her to fail.

As I haven´t had time to update myself on your escapades, Renee, I must ask who is your main character now? Saga, Renee or Kahreem?

This post has been edited by mirocu: Aug 24 2014, 03:55 PM

I'd say that Renee doesn't have the main character.
Or perhaps it was better if I say that all are her main characters.
