Storm-Song Manor Ultimate Edition

These are screenshots of Storm-Song Ultimate and Final Edition. I re-made the mod entirely from scratch. It will be a smaller download as I made it.... 99% vanilla compatible. Which means it will use whichever textures & mesh replacers you use for NPCs, Armor, Weapons, and Architecture. There some custom meshes in the mod. There will be TWO versions of the mod. One without NPCs will be a publicly available and one with NPCs AND an added Breezehome home basement will be the Guild v

Subject #1 continues his attacks on T.A.P. Gaming & Schaken Mods

Well I could go into the whole long, stupid, and shitty story of the mental insanity of the Far Left Domestic Terrorist who we will refer to only as Subject #1 We are just gonna forego that because Subject #1 doesn't need validation for his mental insanity. We are just going to meme about him because its funny when he makes half baked videos from the basement of his mother Florence's home in Florida which he attempts to claim victim status. He ain't a victim that is just what he w

Storm-Song Manor

I been working lately on an update to my Thana Storm-Song follower. Like most projects we do, one thing leads to another, and what was to be just an enlargement of her house ended up being being a total re-design of the house and grounds, and the addition of 3 extra NPC followers. It is an expansion of her backstory as well. The NPCs added are twin sister Alma and her twin brother Jacob. Thana still looks like she did but you can tell her apart from Alma as Alma does not have the tattoos.

I got banned from the Nexus and here's why

Because SJW Marxist Shitbags don't know what Sarcasm or a Joke is The Cancel Culture crowd came for me because I DARED to think differently! Because I dared to question them, mock them and call out their hypocrisy. My mods will all be available on Schaken Mods as I move my library over there. For the time being my mods are also still available on Bethesda Net as well for Xbox 1

New Project Mighty Rorikstead

So I started building my newest project which is an overhaul of Rorikstead. I'm adding a Blacksmith, a General Merchant, and an Alchemist. Not sure what else I should add. I know I do not want to add a player home as I will be putting one of the Waystations nearby. Not real sure I am going to use custom NPCs I may just make vanilla ones as I have had problems trying to upload the NPCs to Xbox. I may try to add custom hair from KS hairdos, as I can do that all in the CK and keep

Team Valhalla

A DLC sized project The Hold of Valhalla is an independent Kingdom in the mountains of The Reach north of Markarth and South of the Falmer Valley. It is not in any way associated with the honored Land of the Warrior Heroes from Norse Mythology although I've borrowed heavily from that. The Hold is ruled over by Jarl Thor the Elder of Clan Thundercock (get your mind out of the gutter!) The Hold worldspace consists of 4 main provinces with a major city in each. Redempti

enviroment Mighty Fresh Skyrim is Complete

Well Mighty Fresh Skyrim is finally complete and will be released soonish for SE and LE I re-did my road textures entirely. It took me quite some amount of time to sit down and make the PSP files for the roads because I am such a damn perfectionist with graphics stuff. I literally cut every stone off the vanilla texture after re-sizing them to 4096. I replaced the base road texture with the new modified landscape texture for that area. The mod will include all the textures for the

landscape Mighty Fresh Skyrim Roads Textures

These road textures are literally the vanilla textures. I took them into Photoshop and played around with them until I got the look I wanted. These are 2K textures with modified normal maps. Stretched over the port of Real Roads I did they look pretty good. The image without my character in it is to show the contrast between these new road textures and the new rock/mountain textures I have also done (see previous entry about those)

landscape Work on Mighty Fresh Skyrim

Would you believe me if I told you that these rock/mountain textures are 2K textures? I nearly broke Photoshop making these. The original was so big that I literally could only do one at a time. The PSD file was 1.45 GB. The end result are textures half the size of vanilla SE textures with twice the quality.
