Late Night Napping Gone Wrong ━━✫・*。

I woke up from a late nap last night when I looked at my monitor and it was like a double vision technicolor nightmare. I've had no PC issues whatsoever and yet somehow there were two Skyrims when I loaded task manager. I'm not sure what happened exactly... I was testing my mod stuff pretty late and got sleepy, so maybe I overloaded something. I'm still not sure. After a quick reboot all seemed normal, including temperatures. Hmm. I'm going to pick up a new videocard soon. I've had the 970 for a while and it's pretty dated at this point and not really the best card. I don't think it's my card that's failing though, I've been there before and I certainly know the looks of it, but it was creepy.
Having fun with Hubert's hair. ♡

Not much has been happening. Modding? Yes! I've been playing around with making different versions of Hubert. It's fun and Hubert is my favourite character so it's easy to lose time modding him. My favourite Hubert will always be his original silver haired self... but I do love trying new hairstyles on him and taking screenshots. It's relaxing and always makes me smile and feel good.

I need to get back to the quests and scripts I was working on. I thought a little break was a good idea, and of course my break involved more Hubert and he's reminding me to get back to those quests! *:゚*。⋆ฺ(*´◡`)

Hubert's Hair ━━✫・*。

A small mesh edit:
I decided to fix up Hubert's hair. Since he has a female hairstyle he had some clipping at the back of his neck and side. The end result makes me a happy girl. ♡

Now to get back to more CK stuff.

Nelbert Musings + Scripting + Kavinsky ━━✫・*。

I've been listening to  a lot of Kavinsky lately. A LOT.

No more pink hair for Nel. It was kind of annoying me. I'm not sure why because I love the colour pink. I think I just got sick of it, so she became a brunette. She's supposed to be in her early twenties.
Nel does have a baby face, but I think that works really well with her husband, Hubert.
They look good together. A perfect pair.
(Nel and Hubert ♡Nelbert♡ resting at the hideout.)

A while back I made Hubert custom body textures and normal maps. I wanted something smoother with less muscle, softer. It took me some time in Photoshop but the results are what I wanted as I wasn't able to find soft male body textures for SOS that I liked. I took parts of textures I liked and blended and blended. He's pretty seamless now too which makes me a happy girl, and his hands are a lot nicer. I do have Hubert set up with an SOS body, full collisions, HDT, and a custom tweaked XMPSE skeleton fitted just for him. It's a ton of work but it's a fun hobby and if you know anything from my blog, it's that I'm smitten with Hubert. He's my husbando!

Oh, and I made a custom normal map mash-up for Nel that isn't in the above pic. I thought her original normal map blend made her look a bit too smooth. She still looks like a young early twenties woman, but I didn't want to go overboard and eliminate every detail. Like Hubert, Nel is a custom Breton. I cobbled together a race a few months back for her and here she is. I still haven't settled on a hairstyle.

I'm thinking about doing more scripting. Strangely, I miss it.
Updated: I did do some scripting and for another Hubert quest (of course). It's a fun and sweet quest. I'm happy with how it turned out. I will write more about it soon. I think I have just over ten quests now and about a dozen scripts I wrote myself. I like to try and script often enough that I can keep up with learning and embedding as much papyrus into my mind. It's challenging stuff and yet when you get the result you wanted and see it in game before your eyes, it's the best feeling ever.

Hubert Ferrier, My Love, My Muse ━━✫・*。

I'm going to get a domain name for this blog. Soonish.

Below is a screenshot I took of my one and only Hubert Ferrier. I love him so much. I have modded him heavily and by that I mean I have added quests, written scripts, lots of voiced dialogue and interaction, animation based events too (among other things because there's a lot). I feel kind of geeky writing that because of how difficult some of this was but I wanted to make Hubert personal for me. I wanted a copy that had my fingerprint on it, so to speak. 

I learned a lot, and because of Hubert I was able to tackle some interesting code too and came out victorious. 
I wasn't actively modding for a while until Hubert reinvigorated me. He became my muse and modding came back to me! I wanted to make my husband more interesting and interactive. I love his look and backstory immensely, so I wanted him to have more.
My version of Hubert is not public.
I respect Hubert's original mod author but also, I wanted to make it so that Hubert was special to me, personal. I wanted my own unique version of Hubert that was separate from the one on the Nexus.♡
My husbando is the only one I want to travel and be with during my gameplay, so it made sense to add more to my Hubert. I'm in for the long haul when I roleplay.  (*⁰▿⁰*)

I normally make my own followers but when Hubert came along, I fell in love with him, and thus, I wanted to have my own unique Hubert. As someone who mods this was very important to me.

I just wanted to write a post and actually upload a photo too! I can get so apprehensive.
Forgive me if my writing is all over the place. I was in the hospital last night 
(I'm healthy - thankfully) so my mind is a bit scattered but I'm feeling good today.

First Post ━━✫・*。

I keep meaning to post and then I don't.
It's been a while since I had a blog. I'm not so sure about this layout but it's simple enough.
I have a lot to write about, but at the moment I'm just going to keep this brief.
 

I love modding. It's a pretty big hobby of mine.
I have modded games such as Morrowind, Oblivion, Fallout New Vegas, and of course, Skyrim.
I love trying and testing mods, making mods, taking screenshots, and learning new things. I'm of the mindset that if you want something in your game and you can't find a mod for it, then learn to mod it yourself. I like some of the challenges modding brings but it can also be frustrating when you hit a snag... so it's great to get that feeling of reward when you get it right. ~(˘▾˘)~

I enjoy playing around in Photoshop and mashing up textures, blending away seams whenever possible.

Recently I started scripting and have had my share of highs and lows but I won't forget the feeling of joy when I accomplished my first working script.
