Status Update - Evil Plans for April
🕑 Added 2025-04-07 18:02:38 +0000 UTCBefore we get to the new and Shiny Stuff up ahead, lets take a look back on March and see what happened there.
As you will likely remember, new content wasn't as abundant as I hoped for, and this had two main reasons:
First Reason was yet another guy on the Discord reminding me that the Solitude Expansion is in a very sorry state, which really started to bother me. A few hiccups here and there in ones mods are unavoidable, but most of the Know issues there were in fact results of blatant mistakes from me, rather then just regular Bethesda jank or mod incompatibilities.
So I stopped working on PaSo and Started fixing Solitude. And while I was at it, I also took the time Of implementing the "Skip to next Event" feature, and also Added compatibility with PaSo. End Result is something which lets me sleep a lot better.
The Second and more influential Reason was of a more personal nature.
A mix of warm spring weather and watching way to many Episodes of a certain show on TLC about Big people served as a painfull reminder that My Health has been is a slow but steady decline ever since 2020 when I got my current job as Software Developer and started modding.
And When it got warm enough to go outside, I Finally decided that I needed to do something to loose weight BEFORE it starts to negatively affect my life.
And while I'm happy to report that I already managed to turn things around and get a lot fitter, This also means that I now have to spent a larger portion of the Day on getting enough Exercise and Sleep. And I also have to prepare healthy food now -.-
Result is that I can no longer do these 16+ hour nightly sessions which usually got most of my work done in the Past.
And while I WANT to say that none of that will affect my output in the future, I would be lying.
I still enjoy making mods and will continue doing it, But There are some things OUTSIDE of my goon cave which I also want to put some attention towards while I still can.
NEW STUFF
With that out of the Way, lets talk about the Fun stuff: The Agenda for April.
First Point of the List is to implement the Final Trial in the PaSo Meadhall. This time for Jurgen Windcaller and the Dwemer Electric Device. Not too much to say about this. It will follow the same Pattern as the other 2 Devices.
With that finished, the Entire PaSo Mod will still have a bit of missing content (Notably the Wraiths in the For which were supposed to hunt the Player), But overrall, there is enough content there to make it feel as a organic part of the game, and it allows Players to Utilize all the PA outcomes and otherwise occurring Deadly Furnitures, without having to reload their games. And that was ultimately the entire Goal of the Project.
In Addition to that, I'll start another Vote soon to decide on the Next piece of Actual NEW content.
Small Spoiler:
Because I'm extremely fed up with working on Scenes at the Moment, All Options will be New Devices For Deadly Furnitures. For Some of them I do already have 3D Models, others are simple enough to make myself reasonably quick.
And Unlike Scenes, Singular Devices can be made and Edited with minimal Creation kit Involvement. They can be scripted Completely with VScode, which makes the process a lot less frustrating and more enjoyable for me.
I think that's all I needed to get Out for now.
Sorry again for the sluggish pace and relative radio Silence over the past weeks.
I likely still need some time to work out a good daily schedule for my Life, So I don't want to give you any estimates on the next Release here, but I'm sure I will figure this out eventually and production speed will return to earlier Levels at some point.
See you on the Next poll :)
