Even More Lore-Friendly Mage Robes + Updated Hoods

I've made another set of lore-friendly mage robes recently. I call them Casual Mage Robes. They all have matching hoods with and without hair, and the hair versions come in black, blonde, brown, and red hair options. I also added a few new robes to the Wandering Mage Robes mod. The Mage Robe Compilation mod has been updated with all the new stuff.

The robes are for the HGEC and Roberts Male bodies and, as usual can be found in the testing hall. Open the console and type "coc testinghall" without the quotes to get there. Go through the door in the center pillar to Hawkhaven and fast travel to leave. The robes are in green chests up against one of the walls.

I also updated the hoods for my other lore-friendly robe mods to use the same hair as the casual mage robes. Redownload below if you want the new hair for the hoods.

Introducing a new character - Lucky Otis - and his house. Download and play if you like.

Lucky Otis


Lucky Otis spent his teen years as a beggar and pickpocket in the Imperial City after being orphaned as a child. He has finally scraped together enough coin to leave the city and see the world. He cobbled together some armor as best as he could and stole an iron dagger from the Market District. As soon as his membership in the Thieves Guild goes through, he's heading out on an adventure. He doesn't have much of a plan except for wandering the land and helping himself to everyone else's riches along the way.

His armor is basically bits of armor on top of his clothes as he couldn't afford a full set of armor. He did manage a leather cuirass, but the rest is a hodge-podge mess. He strapped some metal plates over his trousers and wears leather wrist bands over his cloth gloves. His boots were already leather, so they'll do just fine. The dagger in his equipment chest is better than a regular iron dagger and can damage ghosts. As for the shack, I imagine that he comes across in abandoned in his wanderings and moves in.

Version 2 adds custom icons, an updated hood mesh, changes the name of the dagger, and fixes some minor clipping.

** Requires Cobl **

*** Redownload V1.1 if you downloaded before 6/15/24 ***


The shack has a bit of a run-down feel to it, but that is intentional. There's a unique bed and sofa, as well as plenty of storage. Also you can sit on one of the crates. The alchemy table is the reason for the Cobl requirement. It has a grinder (the small mortar & pestle) and a static alchemy station. There is a small shrine to Nocturnal on a shelf that will act like a chapel shrine, but with no infamy restrictions.

One thing to note is that because the doors are tilted, I couldn't actually use the real doors as the doors to get in and out of the house. I had to use an invisible activator. It is easiest to activate the doors if you look at the lower part of them.

The shack is located near Bravil.

You can finally download Freya's house!

 I like to make a personalized home for each of my permanent characters. Freya's had been about half done for a long time. I haven't been playing as her recently so it was kind of "out of sight, out of mind".

Freya's house is called Mara's Grace Cottage because Freya has a strong connection to Mara. It was made specifically for Freya to live with both Vilja and Kyle Fergus, so there is a second bed. There is a static alchemy station on the dresser. An armor stand with the Divine Crusader's armor can be toggled on and off by activating the candles on the bedside table near the double bed. 

The single bed was meant for Vilja and there is a Vilja specific item there. It won't break your immersion if you don't have her, but will be nice if you do. I made a custom mesh for the Lover's Tears flower from Vilja's quest, and I made a version in a vase that can be toggled back and forth from the bleeding heart flower that is on that bedside table to begin with. You switch  the flowers by activating the candles on that bedside table.

There are vanilla paintings in the cottage. I suggest using the mod Paintings Variation (linked below) to make them look much better - like they do in the pictures.

New Scout Armor & Second Archer's Armor

 As I've said before, I often like to look at character art on Pinterest and make armor and clothing based on pictures I find. Yesterday I came up with a second piece of Archer's Armor, and wanted to update. I also want to post a new armor I made recently that isn't directly based off of any picture, but I like it and want to get it up on the blog.
