Next Poll - "Primitive Edition"

This time we are doing a "primitive-only" edition. That means we only have new devices on the table, and all of them will be very simple wooden structures which can be made quick.
Reasons for this:

First one being that the complex solitude Scene has left me really drained and showed me once again that doing those is not my core competence. Sure, I can do them, by it exposes me to the ...

Solitude - New Scene (Finally)

After many trials and tribulations and multiple sidetracks, I finally present to you the new Solitude multigallow and its associated Scene.

Apart from the unplanned development of the Barstool which postponed this release, there also was a major Development in my personal life which played a big factor, but this will be addressed in a public post.

But apart from that, there were al...

Deadly Furnitures - Fill Her Up!

Yet another slight sidetrack (sorry, this was the last one, promise!), but i think this will be a neat addition to make the new Solitude Scene, as well as older and future ones, a tad more interesting.

While this a bit more jank-prone, then I would usually like, After being made aware of his mod and playing around with it for a bit, I decided that its funny and not an insurmountable effor...

Deadly Furnitures V 3.4.3 - Polished Barstool

The last release was made with a bit of time pressure, because I wanted to get it out within November. And while the newly introduced Barstool was mostly functional, there were a few minor issues outstanding, today I deliver the fix for those, will thereby finish this device, and finally get back to the Solitude Scene.
(Reminder: this Barstool is actually purpose-build for said Solitude Scen...

Pama Deadly Furniture V 3.4.1 - Barstool update

As promised, today you get a new and unusual entry into the Lineup: The Barstool

And this is pretty much exactly what it says. No smart nicknames or euphemisms here.
Well, Ive already spoiled it on the Discord, but this variant isn't exactly made to simply sit on it, that would be boring. Instead, it provides a bit more fun for two Actors. Controls should be pretty self explanatory. I...

Chair

Yes, I know this looks and sounds dumb, but hear me out...

While working on the new Scene for Solitude, I was faced with a creative problem: how to spice it up? As you will remember, all current Solitude scenes have a small prelude before the actual show. But I didn't just want to recycle that animation yet again, So I had to think of something else.
The new Multi-Gallow already had a ...

Solitude - Progress!

Its been quite a while since the last Vote concluded end we decided to expand the Solitude justice system a bit. So lets give you a little update on the State of affairs. I think you deserve it.

As you will remember, October was mostly dedicate to overhauling the Older mods to make it compatible with PaSo, as well as getting PaSo itself and PDF polished up for public release.
I'm happy...

Pama Deadly Furnitures V 3.4.0 - Final Fountain

Got something slightly unusual for you today.

Content wise, this release is identical with version 3.3.1
Which means it contains the final cosmetic updates to the Fountain, as well as the reorganized Device spawn menu.

Main Reason for this kinda Re-post is the change in version number.
Many of the PA - Addons as well as PaSo use the version numbers to check wether the user ha...

PA addons - Sovngarde compatibility

Over the Last month, I have revisited and rewritten all the currently existing extension mods for Prison Alternative.
Just to jog you memory a bit, these include the following:

  • Bad Ends - Windhelm

  • Bad Ends - Riften

  • Bad Ends - Solitude

  • PA Punishment Pack

  • PA outdoor Event pack

Some of these were quite old...

Pama Sovngarde Aftermath - Public Release

Soo... Deadly Furnitures and Prison Alternative + its addons have been around for a while, but they always had a bit of an issue: Dying will simply result in the Game loading a previous save and thereby break immersion. This mod here aims to fix this.

What does it do?
I contains a repeatable quest-line in Sovngarde.
If the Player dies from one of the Deadly Furnitu...

Vote concluded - New Scene For Solitude

It has been quite a few cycles, but this time, you actually managed to vote for the correct option. Which means I don't have to transitions to a "Managed" Democracy quite yet.

Anyway, the Winning option was the Multi-Gallow for Solitude. Since the inception of the Mod, this device has been present in MCM, but was always Greyed out. And now its time to fix that and provide the City with an...

Next poll - Back to Solitude?

With the Fountain finally being done, its time to decide on the Next bit of Content.
I have to admit that I'm REALLY fed up with making new animations at the moment, which means that for this next phase, we will focus on new Scenes and/or Gameplay mechanics which utilize existing devices.
So, without Further Ado, lets get to the Options:

Deadly Furnitures V 3.2.4 - Fountain Finished

Took a long time, but after many trials and tribulations, the Fountain with all its planned features is now finally finished! With Animations, sounds, and all the other good stuff.

Slight Caveat is that I'm still fairly busy with a few things at home and didn't have much time for in depth stress-testing, but I didnt encounter any obvious issues.
If you manage to find some, feel free to...

The Adventures of Unemployed man - Plot twist

Update time!
Originally I hoped that, after my layoff, things would quite down a bit, and together with the increasingly colder weather, I would have a bit more time to spend on new Skyrim content.
But Fate had other Ideas for me and I blew right past yet another self imposed deadline for a release, and I wanna tell you what has influenced that faux pas.

Fountain Update - second batch of animations

I think I'll just give up on making predictions about release dates. Right now, fate seems to have quite a few twist and turns in store for me (see public post published later this day), so this is getting quite hard to do with any degree of certainty.

Nonetheless, the originally planned outline from the last post still stands, which means today you get the second out of three total anim...

Deadly Furnitures V 3.2.2 - Fountain Multi-Actor Update

Ok, this update absolutely was supposed to release last month, but my poor judgement once again underestimated the time Animating would take me, so I blew past my time goal by quite a bit. And believe me when I say I'm not happy about this. As a sort of apology, I've included one more paired animation then originally planned, bringing the total of this first batch up to 5

And yes, I said ...

Reorganization

Usually I would try to post a new update BEFORE the end of the Month, or at least give a small update on why I wont be able to make it in time and have to push it back a bit.

The more observant among you will have noticed that I did NOT do that this time, And now that my situation has become clearer, I want to tell you why.

The Cover image already spoils it somehow, but the Gist it ...

Adjustment to tier Pricing

So, by now I've been doing this modding thing for a bit over 5 years, and I think I have made quite a bit of progress in that time.

From humble beginnings where I added some rudimentary scripts to Existing ZaZ-furnitures, To the current day where I make complex devices, including 3d models and animations, as well as Stuff like PaSo and OBH to put the Things into the Game world.

Fountain Update - Invisible Water Fix

Very shortly after its Initial Release, I got multiple reports from Users that, for them, the water in the fountain would be extremely transparent or outright invisible.

It took me a sleepless night and then some, but ultimately, I could pin this issue down on on ENB using a slightly different render pipeline for water then vanilla skyrim.
Had to make some adjustments to the scripts a...

Deadly Furnitures V 3.2.1 - Fountain Release

Fountain Status Update - Fighting the Tools

Because I once more take my sweet time with new Content, I thought it might be a good Idea to give you a quick update on the current affairs and how Bethesda jank managed to make my life harder.

The Fountain - Dev Update

Its been a while since The last poll concluded and the Fountain emerged as the winner, so I think its time to give you a little update on its state.

The 3D model is Ingame and basic scripting and animation is also done.

Status Update - Evil Plans for April

Before we get to the new and Shiny Stuff up ahead, lets take a look back on March and see what happened there.

New Trial Scene for Sovngarde - Ulfgar The Unending
