Downloaded! Thanks for the heads up! Like you, I won't download mods from Steam and have wanted something exactly like this - except I want the dancing enabled.

There’s a very cool new option in Become a Bard that requires UIExtensions, so I’m considering adding that. Does anyone know a reason not to?

I think it needs MCI to configure whether you want dancing or not, etc.

Yep, the mod can still be used without SkyUI or SKSE but some of the features can only be controlled if you have it for the Mod Configuration Menu. There’s a new option through UIExtentions that shows the songs by title instead of just by number, which will be a huge improvement if you use the option that causes factions to respond to their songs. Varia played Song 1 from a new book and it turned out to be “Age of Oppression.” Luckily she was in Stormcloak territory at the time or there would have been a fight.

I also finally read through how to add your own custom song books, and it doesn’t look difficult. It’s a really neat mod.

I’ll keep the NPC dancing turned on in my games. I can see how some people might not want Ulfic’s somber court dancing around to a bard’s song, but to me that’s part of being a Nord!

Dancing around a Jarl's court! Definitely being a Nord! No question! Especially when tumblers are overflowing with mead as well!

Imagines Galmar twerking... Noooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!

All I can think of now is Vilja dancing on the table.

BWAAHAA!

Just noticed a new mod on Sky Nexus called Assist Spells. As soon as I saw it, I thought of Grits and Renee, for it allows you to cast alteration armor spells and destruction elemental cloak spells on allies to buff them. There's a short vid at the link that does a good job of showcasing the mod.

This sounds like a great (and very needed) mod if it works well and doesn't cause conflicts! Can it be caste on your horse? Oh, most def want this one!



EDIT: Downloaded it!

Thank you very much, Acadian! This is indeed just the kind of thing I can use with my followers. It will be much easier to keep track of companion Jerric when he’s surrounded by a Frost Cloak. Yay!

Not a new mod, but one I only just had a reason to download. My latest character is Hot-Lips, an Argonian with red facial markings that led to her name. I was considering an Argonian version of my Orc Hearthfires for her, so I looked around on the Nexus for ideas, and found Darkwater Den.

It has just about everything I was planning, and a few more features besides. Underwater entrance as well as above-ground one, all the crafting stations (including staff enchanter from DB), and reasonable storage. The pluses, and I'm not sure I'd have included those, are displays for Dragon masks, Paragons, and Claws, and a disenchanter.

Of course, it's ready-made, and not a build-your-own, but it's given me ideas for decor (like the green roots everywhere) and general architecture. And Hot-Lips and Derkeethus like it, so it stays in their game. Since Derkeethus is part of the mini-quest to get the key to the place, its location is appropriate.

I'd considered implementing my joke about Siddgeir selling land at the bottom of Lake Illinata, and putting an entrance down there, with a regular Hearthfires starter home as the entryway on-shore. There's a Nordic ruin submerged off the North shore, with a flat patch near it for the small house. I still might build that.

Very nice! As soon as I saw some of the interior detail, I figured it was the talented work of Elianara. Really like how the entrances are hidden.

Yes, Elianora has a distinctive and recognizable style! Nice one, Ghastley!

Nice find, ghastley! The décor and architecture are the parts that appeal to me the most, and the pluses (custom displays, static clutter) are what I would leave out.

I love the underwater entrance. The roots and green Peryite-looking plants look great. I always admire Elianora’s decorating. She has quite an eye.

I must have this one. Right now. Eli's Coffee Mod.

Yay for the recognition that real coffee fits into TES just fine.

Now I'm thirsty!


That looks like Flintone/Garnet's coffee texture and Stroti's teapot retextured, it looks good in black!

I’m using this coffee mod now and loving it. I don’t have any other mods that add water to my game, so I also love buying the drinking water added by Elianora’s mod from innkeepers.

Of course I’ve tweaked things a little to suit Grits’s Tamriel. Coffee is kahve, and it increases your magicka regeneration by a tiny bit for a long time rather than increasing stamina. That’s why mages and especially Jerric are so addicted to it.

Is that water added in the same (Coffee) mod or is that a separate mod? (Link Please?)
