OK, folks, now that my little break is over, let's wrap up with today's Hydragorgon time.
First things first, we're going to transfer the Dragon Bridge records over to our patch file so we have a clean palette to work with for our next batch. With that done, we'll grab our next set of packages - this time for Rorikstead. One of the packages isn't actually used, so we'll skip that one, Package 2 uses a pole, Package 3 uses a cage, and Package 4 also uses a cage. We'll put them in simi
Character sheets for the four members of the Party.
Side note, Servius is the Shezzarine and the Last Dragonborn here, but he won't be the one that will be sang in the songs. After all, he does cut quite the pathetic figure, and what better symbol to use, than a Redguard Dragonborn, a warrior that came from the one country who repelled the Thalmor by themselves, to settle the war in Skyrim with her thuum? Maybe some fools can even hypothesize she's actually one of the descendants of
Happy Thursday, everyone! I'm really enjoying the current overlap between Star Trek: Picard season 2 and Star Trek: Discovery season 4, even though each week of this we get means one week some time in the future where we won't get a new episode, since across the franchise I believe we're getting 51 episodes this year. Still, I'll enjoy it in the moment.
For today most of my time is going to be spent on the Hydragorgon project, but that'll be later in the evening rather than around th
Welcome back! Today it's time to tackle the conflicted market stalls and other items in the marketplace area. Let's look at our punchlist to see where we stand currently:

Well, I just went through a operating system disk failure, which took maybe 30 hours to fix, and the resultant paralyzation of Skyrim, which took over a week.
So this is a list of files OUTSIDE of Skyrim and its mods that you may end up needing to play modded Skyrim. (on Windows)

I started playing Skyrim Special Edition back in, oh, March of 2021? And I think I started adding mods immediately.
When I learned of the impending Anniversocalypse back in mid-October 2021, I was having severe problems with CrashToDesktop-on-Save (CTDoS) with my last (81st level! 550 hours!) character, probably because I'd just oozed into mod-using and just kept playing whist figuring out what mods I liked, and UNINSTALLING THE ONES I DIDN'T (this is Very Bad). It's amazing it la

Episode The Third
My entire being was moaning in the agony of empty. I finally forced myself awake, but it was still dark. I fumbled around for my glasses, but there was something on my head, covering my eyes... Memory returned slowly. Where I was. What I was.
And, despite the fact that the emptiness was roaring inside me, I still had a painfully full bladder.
Thrashing around, trying to get up, I thump
So, I think I owe you all an explanation on why things have been so quiet. Basically, it comes down to a mix between issues on my Skyrim installation and real-life commitments.

As covid started to fade out, I basically went reverse-lockdown for my mental health and filled every little bit of free time I had with activities. To cut short, I currently have access to my main gaming/modding rig 3 evenings per week, and I'm only motivated to work on Slaverim when the
Notes for a possible mod or game. This is an idea that popped into my head a week or so back, and I'm writing it down to try and exorcise it. Consequently, there is a very good chance that this will never progress beyond these notes. No pictures as yet, though I may add some later.
With that out of the way...

Hi folks, welcome to Wednesday! Today we're going to install a couple of new mods from the Nexus, then we'll swap out a mod in favor of one we're going to be giving a test run to in our next adventure. After that, we'll do some more work on the Hydragorgon project.
We're starting the day with 1,467 mods installed, 1,489 plugins active, and a final load order index of EC.

We Found Some Problems!
Do I Want to "Stop It!"?
Hey, it's Damien again. I'm trapped in western and southern High Rock in 3E 405 (mostly my fault, but I had honest intentions). On the power scale of me being magically castrated by the time travel, I've progressed from kitten to large housecat. I've mostly spent a handful of days traveling around this cursed land, doing quests for the royals scattered amongst their castles.
Currently in Sentinel, which gave me clear Hammerfell vibes (from what I've read) with the deserts and tr
Welcome back everyone! Now that we've resolved both the conflicted buildings, it's time to start working down the rest of the punchlist. Let's look at what we've got left to do, and arrange it by location.

Episode The Second
The horrible feeling of emptiness woke me up, an aching pain in my belly that kept me from getting up for a while. Or doing anything but holding it and moaning softly, really. Food, I thought, because this was the extra empty that food would fill up.
When it eased enough that I could move, I rolled over and got to my hands and knees, and started crawling towards what I remembered as being the fo
Hello audience. This is Damien. In the hopes of thwarting Viranir, I followed her into the past, casting a very complex spell and arriving in Daggerfall in 3E 405. I decided I would go along with what was in front of me: a mission from Uriel Septim VII to Daggerfall, only to find her in the same predicament I now found myself in, but as a ghost. I also found as part of my transportation here I've been reduced in power similar to that of a day 1 adventurer.
It makes me wonder who
Hi everyone, welcome back. Today is going to be another relatively light day as far as modding work goes, but let's see what we can knock out as we work towards launching the next playthrough.

During the previous chapter of this blog, we talked about the two major terrain blockers in Groot's - especifically, the Imperial Physician whose door ends up off center because of a building model change and the bookstore from Books of Skyrim that ends up in the same space as Groot's alchemy lab. We successfully repositioned the physician, but we couldn't get the bookstore to share its current location. Additionally, literally as I was writing that entry, I got a message from the mod author adv
Arlimahera of Dragonstar, betrayed by her travelling companions in a foreign, savage land, and sold into slavery. The ones she thought to be her ally treating her like nothing more than Livestock, to be sent off to Alinor, the capital of the Aldmeri Dominion, the ones who subjected her people to horror and strife, all because she was objecting with their methods, objecting with their mission.
She was supposed to be sent to the re-education camps, to become a mindless, broken toy for
