I had big plans to celebrate Skyrim’s 10th anniversary with a Year of modding, but as usual with plans, they fell apart eventually.

So instead of moaning about what went wrong and what I originally had planned to finish by now, I prefer to celebrate the positives and revisit what I have done this year so far.

This year has been my most active to date, with more than 700 contributions to GitHub compared to about 500 for the next most active year since I created the repository in 2014.

I completed two large storylines - the Milk Farm in SL Stories, with its own little corner of the Shivering Isles, and the Chaurus Queen quest in SL Parasites.

I moved the Spriggan Curse quest from Sanguine Debauchery to SL Parasites. This move is not quite finished but it is very playable at this point.

I made progress with the rewrite of Hormones, with several compatibility updates provided by other players (thank you!), a redesigned menu system, and not one but two Succubus transformations.

Finally I had a fun time with creating a daily mod update for the TES Summer Fest event.

What’s next?

With the impact of the Anniversary Edition on mods, and talks of TES 6 coming sometimes between 2024 and 2026, I will be spending a little more time on the Legendary Edition. I decided to continue focusing on finishing quests and revisit moving to the Special/Anniversary edition at the end of next year instead.

The next big changes will be about streamlining the mechanics of Sanguine Debauchery and completing the main quest, moving the Mage and Blacksmith Apprentice quests out of SL Dialogues and into their own mod, and finally completing the Nord Queen quests in SL stories.

That should keep me busy for the next year or so.
