Had to share this with everyone....

"Ho-kay...so...I love the house, but imho, it's waaaaay too much of a pain in the nethers to do the quest & assemble the materials for such a simple place. Nothing wrong with it at all, but I think this would make a better *starter* home than crowning achievement. But...endorsed anyway. It does keep the rain off, I hope?"

I noted today that someone has posted a mod that avoids the player having to do any material collecting for Hearthfires. It's about caught up with mine for downloads and endorsements already!

I think my next mod will be a button in the middle of the screen that says "I can't be bothered playing, just let me win" and if you press it, it tells you you've won, and don't need to play at all. Then it closes the game for you, so you don't have to do that work, either.

I made a small change to this for my own game - I'm not sure if I'll bother putting out an update for it.

The cookpot in the den now uses only Bosmer-approved ingredients (no veggies any more). I've created new recipes for things using only meat, salt, fungi (they're the enemies of trees, aren't they?) using a new keyword unique to that pot. Many of theme were meat + salt = cooked meat and so were cloned unchanged, but for several others there was an ingredient swapped out. I need more recipes using eggs, butter, milk, too - and honey! Not using flour means no baked goods/bread - but there's no oven there.

That's now got me wondering about floral ingredients for alchemy, and if her lab table needs to be unique too.
