[X] My Assistant

Sometimes I see a mod and think "Hey, that looks interesting!" Often in a screenshot from someone else's game. Or on those occasional visits to the Nexus and I see it on the front page. I thought I would create a topic that might make it easier for all of us to keep up on what mods are out there -new or old - that at least look good. If other folks already have it, they can chime in and offer their opinions/experience with it. If not, they might decide to try it themselves.

Rogue Armor looks interesting. It requires Dragonborn, and is basically a mash up of vanilla armors. But it seems to come together alright. Has anyone tried it? I don't have a character right now who it would be appropriate for, so even if I download it, it could be months before I actually try it out.

I started using Ash Pile Expiration. It comes in multiple versions, depending on how long you want ash piles to stick around. I am using the 1 hour version, and so far so good, ash piles vanish after waiting for an hour.

How neat is that?!? I always liked the idea of the wispmother summons but they left those pesky ashpiles when they expired. This might solve that.

I discovered that copying forward the texture files from A Clearer World Map (with Roads) to SE works fine. I didn't bother removing the clouds, as they're not thick enough to annoy. I don't know if that has been re-issued for SE yet. A search failed to find it on Nexus. There is a mod that kills the fog in map view, which I may try.

Works well.

Animations - awesome mod, just don't go drinking potions in the heat of a battle.

Smooth faces for ladies and gents - my personal favorite mod when it comes to faces. Compatible with several body replacers (patches are available to d/l as optional), neckseams are almost gone.

ESO Skyshards for Skyrim by Arthmoor! I haven't tried it yet, but I will.

[SubRosa]

Gothic Plate Armor looks outstanding. I have not tried it, but I think it would work perfectly with the zweihander from Drunkzealot's somewhat historically accurate weapons

Don't mention this one to mALX.

Block Without Shield is an interesting mod. It gives you a ring that basically acts as an invisible shield. I tried it out today with an unarmed fighter. You cannot block in unarmed combat. But this gives you the option to do so, as the game thinks it is a shield. I eventually opted out of using it, but not because of this mod. It is just that unarmed combat in Skyrim is so lackluster. Even with mods to improve it.

[Kane]

In case you wanted to play as Thor, the God of Thunder.

Living takes time - makes time pass when browsing inventory, journal, map, browsing in shops etc. Highly customizable, so you get to decide how much time passes.

Timing is Everything is a neat mod that allows you to change when some quests start, like the Dragonborn Cultists attacking you, or random dragon attacks, or random Dawnguard vampire attacks, and the like. It requires all the DLC and SkyUI. I have already found other mods and console commands that do individual bits and pieces of these things. But never all together in one package.

[Lopov]

This mod is a must, I agree. I've been using it for years.

Ha ha I have squirrels in my gameworld! They make little squeak noises.

I love this mod. It's so nice to be able to deal with those things through one mod.

I will probably start using it instead of the other mods. Since I have Dragonborn, and I am actually doing the vanilla main quest, I am being attacked by Miraak's Cultists constantly. It seems like once a day. It has really gotten annoying. I don't see any mods or console commands to reduce the frequency of these attacks, except Timing is Everything.

I have been using Raven Rock Expanded for several days now. It adds more buildings, merchants, and NPCs in general to Raven Rock. I highly recommend it. It makes the place feel a lot more like a real settlement. Plus the extra merchants really help with unloading all that good Dragonborn loot.

[Lopov]

Is there a console command to make just one location on the map visible? I don't mean tmm, but just to add one undiscovered place?

[Renee]

I can't tell you how many merchants I've added into Vyvoor's game, and potentially other games which follow. Especially in the smaller villages like Morthal, where they only have an alchemist but not a general trader or a smith? Come on, now. Let's change that.
