    PLEASE... Please do NOT feel any need to comment, as I don't comment myself these days (with a few exceptions now and then). I apologize for that but I have my reasons. But if you have any questions or would like to say hello, I will try to respond quickly.

    Special apologies to those who do sets with a lot to read, as I can't even endorse sets without reading them, and I usually don't have time for that. Sorry about that, but in this goofy world we live in, ya just can't be too careful. Damn Thalmor are everywhere!

      Hey 'Cat - Thanks! So great to hear from you! As you can see, I am still alive, still constantly changing my game to make it more real (and colorful) for me and my girls, and still having fun in my full playthrough - 22 months so far.

    Wonderful scenes, Chickster.
    Love the lush grasses in the Rift landscapes and beautiful entourage in their lovely colorful outfits.
    Nice variety with the indoor shots in the Bannered Mare and beautiful outdoor scenes on Lake Ilinalta.
    Happy Halloween!!
    Warmest regards,
    Old Gurley

      Thanks, my friend! Hope all is well with you. The Bannered Mare, and also The Drunken Huntsman, are a bit less crowded these days in my game - at least at night. Most of the girls normally there now have various sleeping packages in 9 beds I added to the Breezehome Basement (Eli's version, where I scrapped the smithing area for the room), and maybe 18 beds in a redesigned lower level addition to what I call Cengo Shack (was Player House Whiterun - behind Arcadia's Cauldron) that I merged INTO the Breezehome mod!

      Happy Halloween to you too! Back at the lake... with a special guest!

      Hi! Thank you, and... You are one of the people that do story sets that I mentioned in my sticky post. And I really am sorry and will try to get back to your story sets at some point. I feel bad, and I DO miss them. (Damn it, maybe if I moved to Manticore or one of the other worlds in the Honorverse that have more than 24 hours in a day, I could have more time to do things I want to do, while still getting done what I need to do. )

      I wouldn't bust a gut if you haven't the hours - but the stories are here and even though my game blew up when I got my PC replaced, I'm reposting some of my stories and doing them daily once more

      Well... maybe mostly lorefriendly - but thanks! I grabbed some LOD/DynDOLOD related images while at the mountainside lodge...

      You probably know all this, but maybe some others viewing these comments might not. The following small images are clickable to see things better in full size images. (images get loaded even if the spoiler isn't opened, so I want to prevent long delays loading the main images)

      3rd person view, showing I am back at Mountainside lodge...


      1st person normal view...


      Same view with LOD toggled off with TLL console command...


      Same view with LOD toggled off - pointing out some dynamic objects


      Same view a few seconds later, trying to show that the windmill blades are rotated to a new position.


      The dynamic objects in the distance, really increase the immersion level in LOD areas. Especially in areas with a lot of waterfalls.

      Obviously, a video would show this so much better - and I would be willing to try that for you. But I don't do youtube (haha, more Thalmor!) and you are probably fully aware of all this anyway from other videos.

      Just trying to share what is LOD and what is not in my game.

      By the way... I am incredibly jealous of your Fallout 4 game, especially compared to mine. For Skyrim I at least have a GTX 1070 8GB, but for Fallout 4 I play downstairs on my big TV, and that computer only has my old GTX 1060 3GB. Funny though... for the Witcher 3 that I am currently playing downstairs, the GTX 1060 seems to handle that just fine and the game looks great. But maybe that's because I don't view other people's Witcher 3 images to avoid spoilers. Maybe I will be jealous later.

      ok, mostly lorefriendly. you got me...  :). i played on a notebook with a 6gb 1060. both games run nice in 1080p on this card. fo4 is very picky. using one wrong mod or ini setting and performance is screwed...  seems there is no way around testing any new mod and to backup.
      no reason to be jealous .just buy a 3080 and be happy :) card is much cheaper in the meantime or wait for the new amd 7xxx cards.

      The 1060 was actually a pretty good card... but I really made the mistake of going cheaper with the 3GB version, and that was not my smartest move, looking back.

      Fingers crossed... I am hoping to find some good deals over the holidays... And the RTX 3080 TI with 12GB would certainly be nice! We will see...

      Thanks, friend. Fun is what my game hacks are all about, as you know. And hey! It is me that needs the luck - trying to keep up with these girls and to give them good lives is not easy!

    Really enjoyed this set and all the info and oh yeah, Thalmor and their toady Trolls   LOL

      Haha, I was hoping to surprise you with this!

      On the purple and gold... my first attempt at the pink looked purple, but for reasons unknown at the time, I saved the purple versions just in case I wanted to use them for somebody later. Then I went back into Gimp and refined the purple textures into pink. You never know how these things will look until you get them in game... and bold colors are really ENB sensitive.

      So today when I decided to do this little set, I just had to try and do the gold cuirass for her second version. It is interesting to me... because LSU colors seem to be more gold than yellow. But their helmets/uniforms seem more yellow?? If that makes any sense?  So I settled for what I had on my last attempt. If I ever try it again, I will let you know.

      Not sure where we left off on our private conversation about Alex and her private quarters, but I did upgrade it so that the Hoamaii Waltz or Kiss spells fire automatically now, and the kiss spell only plays once now and exits. Still need to work out the timing to make the Waltz spell just play once. So anyway, tonight Alex wanted to waltz - so we teleported into her room and it started up perfect. Not sure what she was wearing tonight (she picks out what she wants), but I ain't showing nobody that outfit!

      After the dance, before we went to bed, she told me she loved me. Well... you know why... I gave her some chocolate and she said "Thank you", and as she turned to go add it to her collection... she whispered the "I love you" as she will do occasionally. I know I scripted that process but it still is so fun - because I never know exactly what she will choose when we teleport in, or how she will react to the chocolate if I have any. Tonight was a good night.



      Hope you had some similar fun tonight... hopefully with the "real" Lachina.

      PS. I hope that I DID blind the worst of the Thalmor, but you know what I always say. Stay safe, and be careful so they don't get you!

       I guess you would call it yellow gold    that's cool on the Waltz/kiss 
      LOL  it is amazing what chocolate will do.  Chocolate can have either a psychological or a biological positive impact on women's sexuality.
      So I never give flowers, always chocolate

      Thanks - your sets have been great too - say hello to Lurisha for me. Whenever stormy weather happens in my game, I always think of you. Haha, that might have sounded strange, but it is because you always get great lightning shots!

      Thank you! And thanks again for your mod Naaslaarum - A Forgotten Vale Player Home I still need to populate it, but that area requires extra thought. With over 400 added followers in my game... I am sure I will find some that want to have a quieter life there. Hmm... there are 2 snow elf TKAA kids in the vale - maybe they can live there too. I know you didn't allow for kids there, but that won't stop me - thanks for the idea.
