Halloween Outfits - 2021

I try to make a new Halloween themed outfit every year. So far since 2015, I've only missed 2017 because I was too unwell. I know it's a bit early this year, but I was late last year, so I'd rather get it out there now that it's finished. I've decided that I'm going to combine every Halloween outfit I've made into one .esp because the testing hall is getting really messy. All of these outfits can be found in a ghost covered gift box sticking out of the center pillar. The box will respawn.

Playable Freya & Fjord Windsinger

I've updated the playable Freya mod and added a mod to add Fjord for you guys. I hope you enjoy playing as these stylized Nordic characters.

Here's their backstory if you want to roleplay the actual characters:

Freya and Fjord are brother and sister. Freya is older and a bit overprotective. They are just prettier Nords and their stats and skills are identical to the vanilla Nord race.

Freya is the Divine Crusader and a devout follower of Mara. She adventures with Vilja and Kyle Fergus. She and Kyle are in a romantic relationship. The three of them live together in a house I hope to release soon. Freya fights in heavy armor with a longsword and a shield.

Fjord is a former member of the Imperial Legion and has recently joined the Fighters Guild. He loves to travel around Cyrodiil and wants to help as many people as he can. Fjord is a follower of Stendarr. He also fights in heavy armor, but wields a battle axe.







Their equipment can be found in the testing hall. Both boxes are black and white plaid and sticking out of the wall of the central pillar. Look around the corner from where you spawn in.

Modern Clothing Compilation

I don't usually do modern clothing in my game anymore, but I've been spending the last few days wrapping up partially finished projects and this was one of them. Here is a set of 4 modern outfits for the HGEC body. I think they are all quite cute and hope you do too.

Suzania's House Update Pics

For anyone who doesn't remember, Suzania is my blind character based off of my mom, who is legally blind. She lives near Skingrad in a cottage called Shadeleaf Retreat. It is next to Shadeleaf Copse I lost the original cottage in a water-on-my-laptop incident last year, and so have finally rebuilt it from the ground up. I like the new version a lot better. Suzania collects lots of magical trinkets, so I gave her lots of display room. Here are some pictures.

Many Lore-Friendly Mage Robes For Male & Female

*** If you downloaded before 07/27/2021, please redownload as there was an issue with one texture. New downloads will be fine. ***

I really like variety in my character's clothing, and I also really enjoy making new clothing, and so I have created 3 mods adding mage robes and one that combines all three into one .esp to save space. Technically one of them is an update to an older mod. I made matching male versions of the robes in my Mage Adventurer Robes mod from a few years ago. All of these robes have matching male and female versions and I think they all look pretty cool. All of these can be found in cute gift boxes that are sticking out of the central pillar of the Testing Hall. The boxes make a vertical row up the side of the pillar. The combined .esp isn't compatible with the standalone mods as the boxes would all overlap in a mess. Anyway, on to the pictures and download links.

Comparison of Nova And Myself Through The Years - Pics

 


Nova Starshine is based on me, in both appearance and personality. Over the years, his look has changed quite a bit, as has mine. I first made Nova, then called Luna, when I was in 2013 when I was 23. I have since lost almost all of the screenshots I took of him over all those years in a water on my computer incident, so I don't have the picture where my mom's friend exclaimed "That's you!" before I even told her that Nova was meant to be based on me. I only have the pics that were on this blog, and so have done the best I can with what I have to show the evolution of Nova and myself over the last several years.


This is as close to the birth of Nova as I can take you with the pics I still have. At this time, I was still identifying as female and was still in the goth phase that I wore quite proudly all through high school. I tried to mimic my face shape as best as I could and gave Nova similar makeup to what I was often wearing at the time.


This is in about 2016, right before I started getting so sick. I had stated identifying as nonbinary at that point, and gave Nova a makeover to match. I made him some kind of emo-ish clothes with a flat chest, as that was how I was dressing at the time. I lessened his makeup, changed the general style of his hair, and gave him the facial piercings I wanted to get. (I never got them because when I got sick soon after this I became allergic to all metal jewelry and couldn't even wear my existing ear piercings anymore.)


That brings us up to now. I have figured out that I am a trans man, and I have gotten quite ill. Nova no longer wears any makeup, dresses lore-friendly, and I adjusted some of his face shape to match what I look like now. My illness shows on my face a bit if you know what to look for, plus I'm 31 now and have aged a bit. The main thing I did was adjust his eye shape. My eyes have started drooping in the last few years. I can't fully open them anymore due to issues with compressed nerves, so they look different than when I was younger. (The difference isn't as pronounced in these photos because the first two were taken outside and I was squinting in the sun.) We both have brown hair now, as I have become severely allergic to hair dye. I adjusted his jaw and chin a little bit as well, and I think he still looks enough like me that if you know he is based on me, you might be able to tell.

I love Nova as a character and have loved evolving him with me through the years. I really enjoyed going through the pictures I still have and picking out the best ones to showcase the different phases of our lives. Anyway, I hope y'all found this at least a bit interesting. I found it fun.
