New Shivering Isles Cottage, New Outfit for Alice, and Update to First Shivering Isles Cottage

Over the last couple of years I've been playing my Alice character much more centered around Mania than the original Dementia theme she started with, so I've made her a new outfit and cottage.

The cottage is called Butterfly Hall and replaces Camp Hopeful in Mania. Alice hallucinates butterflies that lead her on adventures, so I themed the cottage around real ones. You can make 3 new food items in the Skyrim Oven in the fireplace (Baliwog Dinner, Alocasia Tart, and Alocasia Cookies) and there is a new mushroom plant and ingredient called a Blushing Maiden. They grow in and around the cottage and the ingredient will show up where random ingredients do (for example on Grummite Magus enemies). 

There is a static alchemy station (Mortar & Pestle) and alters for spellmaking (Obelisk of Spellmaking) and enchanting (Font of Enchantment), as well as a smaller version of the crematorium set up from the Ebrocca ruins.  Fast travel is available as soon as you enter the isles, but make sure that you go through the Gates of Madness first during that quest and don't accidently skip that part.














Alice's new outfit and armor is called her Manic Outfit (or Manic Armor for the armored version) and the original has been renamed the Demented Outfit/Armor. Both of them now have a pendant with a depiction of the portal to the isles found in Cyrodiil. Also, the male wigs have been altered to fix clipping.






For those of you that prefer the Dementia vibe, I have updated the first Shivering Isles house I made, Wonderland Cottage. I reduced the amount of sparkles in the interior, added static alchemy, and changed all of the Mania plants to Dementia plants. I also added collision to the armor dummies and they are now storage for Amber and Madness armor. The buttons inside the glass display cases funtion as spellmaking and enchanting stations. The file paths are different now, so delete the original before installing the new version.












Recommended Mod: Shivering Isles Floriana Gloria - Edited by Me. It will make the trees look like they do in the pictures and add some really beautiful grass/flowers.

Modern Clothing Compilation Mod Update

Important Note: If you downloaded before 6:30 am on 11/24/24, please redownload. I forgot the textures for the chest. Sorry.

Hey everyone. I've spent the last 8 years very slowly working on an absolutely massive modern clothing mod. Unfortunately, it got so huge that just having a small portion of it in your inventory at once slows the game down to a crawl. So instead, I've put together some outfits out of my favorite combinations of clothing pieces and added them to a previously released modern clothing outfit compilation. I also made alternate versions of both the original and new outfits with earrings attached. Each outfit has its own pair of earrings. I will probably release more of this kind of thing down the road, but I'm not sure when. I hope you enjoy these. (Note: There may be some clipping with the skirt in Outfit 11 in some poses. I can't seem to fix it, but still like the skirt and so have included it anyway.) The clothes are in a purple chest in the TestingHall. To get there, open the console and type "coc testinghall" without the quotes. To leave, find the door to Hawkhaven on the central pillar and fast travel from there. The chest will respawn. Here are the pictures:

Teardrop Gem Jewelry Mod

Update 11/23/2024: Version 1.5 changes the earrings to hang a bit lower to work with a wider variety of ears. I realized after releasing the mod that they didn't work well with a lot of elf ears.

I made some jewelry based on an amulet from the New Amulets mod by Xiamara. I've been working on these for months and they're finally ready. I really like them and hope you guys do as well. The amulets and earrings come in two versions - one plain and one fancy - and there are a variety of colors made from images of real gems and stones. There are amulets, earrings, bracelets, and rings. They can all be found in a purple wooden chest in the TestingHall. To get there, open the console and type "coc testinghall" without the quotes. When you're ready to leave, find the door to Hawkhaven on the central pillar and fast travel from there. The amulets and bracelets have both female and male versions. Unlike my usual clothing mods, these items each have a unique icon and matching ground mesh. Here are the pictures:
