Josie Dovahkiir's Skyrim

So Josie made the mistake of dancing with Lucien and now she is doomed to the heartache of unrequited love. They just look so cute together (plus Kaidan pi$$ed her off). Unfortunately for her, Lucien isn't romanceable. *cry*

Just passing through.....nice and easy....no sudden moves.....dammit Jezzy!!!! Wuss!!!

I love the Picturesque Weathers and the Naturesque preset. The video didn't turn out as i had hoped. It just doesn't do it justice.

Part 4 of my Dawnguard playthrough

Part 3 of my Dawnguard vampire playthrough

Part 2 of Josie's Daenguard playthrough.

Josie joins the Dawnguard as a vampire. She also made a quick trip to her stylist before starting the vampire gig. A new hairstyle, make-up, and a lot less on the tan.....face structure is the same tho. It's just he tones that have changed. Anyway......Although I've played the Dawnguard DLC several times, I have never done it as a vampire or sided with the vampires. That is the plan for this particular playthrough. After ten years of playing Skyrim, it had gotten a little stale. So to make it more interesting, I decided to put it to a vote in a Facebook group which quests to do first and how to play them. Dawnguard and siding the vampires won. I decided to chronicle my progress here. The FB group is Skyrim Mods & Modders. Come join in on the fun!

Josie transitions into a vampire.....her pretty brown eyes are now vampy, Underworld blue.

Josie, Ainsleigh, Jezmaralda, and Vikktor decided to have a little dance party at Josie's place after hitting the mead keg a little heavy. The mod list in this is kinda heavy, but I'll try to get them all: Jezmaralda (the tiny Breton redhead) & Vikktor are new followers that I am working on. They will feature their own questlines along with lots of custom dialog. The main questline is "The Pirates of Nirn" which sort of gives it away that it is pirate themed. That's all you're getting from me on that one. :P On to the rest: Hair, as always, is Kalilies' KS Hairdos: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/6817 Female Skin (and it is an awesome skin texture!) is Fireapple's Dibellan True Skin: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/63151 Josie's armor is DX Celes Rogue Armor by DeserterX and Docteure: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/28069 Ainsleigh's armor is Lady Alina found at Sunjeong's Modding: https://www.sunkeumjeong.com/post/lady-alina Vikktor & Jezmaralda are wearing the vanilla Thieves' Guild armor with FrankFamily's Frankly HD Thieves Guild Armor retextures: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/19953 The house is from the Dragon's Keep mod by KhrysINXS and revamped and uploaded by ToppDog: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/271 The music (You can't craft a saddle!!!) is from the Tavern Band and Music mod: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/47880 For textures, I use a combination of a LOT of mods: Boreal Whiterun 4k 2k (I use 2k always when available) by Sish15: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/61140 Sublime Solitude by Sish15: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/61140 Noble Skyrim by Shutt3r: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/21423 Skyland by SkyKing2020: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/34179 I'm sure I left a LOT of them out, but those are the main ones. Enjoy!

The Aspen Retreat is my newest player home and although it does lack some of the amenities of my "The Meadows Cottage" mod (no trophy room), it offers what The Meadows lacks. It's a true little homestead just outside the city gates of Riften and is my favorite of the two. Below are some of the things you'll find should you decide to purchase the home. Though it is not a hard requirement, there are a LOT of idles scattered about the property. If you want your Dovahkiin to be able to interact with them, I highly recommend the mod "Dovahkiin Can Lean Sit Kneel Lay Down". It complements The Aspen Retreat well. Amenities: Although not an amenity, the house does cost 8,000 septims (just like the Meadows) Teleport Tome Hearthfire Multi-Adoption compatible for up to 6 kids Outdoor smithing equipment (forge, workbench, grindstone, etc) Indoor/outdoor alchemy and enchanting Bookcases Plenty of storage Some chests, baskets, barrels, etc are linked to other containers (not to the crafting equipment) Garden/Planters CHICKENS!!! (Set protected so only you can kill them) *** There is one known bug. It doesn't really bother me, but some are more picky than me. lol If you ask the kids if they want to play a game, regardless of the game you choose, they will run into the city to play it. I have tried everything I could think of, consulted the nine divines, sacrificed Nazeem to Boethiah....nothing seems to work. But I love the house and wanted to share. Another point.....this house is located OUTSIDE of the city gates. Critters, large and small, bandits and vampires, will occasionally wander there. Then again, it is so close to the city gates and stables, you'll often find guards lounging on your porch, chopping wood, crafting armor, and even chopping weeds in the garden. It is what it is. This mod uses the following assets by the following mod authors: Bert's Bits & Bobs/TutorialsBunny Toys by Garnet Catering by Lilith Curios by Lilith Ready Clutter by Lilith Lilith's Doilies Lilith's Tablecloths Modder Display Compendium by MrDanSG1 Scripts & Tutorials by Darkfox127 Food Containers by Blary Bath & Towel resources by InsanitySorrow at the TES Alliance Liam's Clutter Resources Alchemy Jars by Pheo3309 Rocking Horses by Tamira Sit And Read Script by Xaa/Jim Farris Universal Item Display Resource by Ashenshugarll & AmethystDeceiver Anyway, here is a brief walkthru. Enjoy!

In this video I'm trying out a port from old rim to SE of the mod Children Fight Back, Amazing Follower Tweaks, and Alternate Perspective (a must have for all my load orders!). I thought it would be fun to make the kids followers and let them fight it out in Helgen with dear ol' mom. Usually Josie partners up with Kaidan, but although I really love Kaidan, I HATE his horseback mechanics and the kids are so cute on the horses. So Josie is loving up on Gerrik (a butt ugly male follower I made). She started out as part of a Forsworn clan. Apparently after completing Helgen the clan will no longer be friendly to her. Oops. Anyway, have fun watching the kids fight. They are too cute.

Josie and crew were making their way back to Whiterun from Riverwood and noticed something floating along in the river. Naturally, I had to start videoing. It's dark so you have to look really hard to see it.

This is the quest from the Away - Come Away mod by Omesan and hosted at the Nexus for Skyrim SE. It's one of my favorite short quests and has an awesome reward at the end. https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/34360 Additional mods featured in this video are: The Great Forest of Whiterun Hold by Ro84 https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/3212 Vythica by Noxide https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/44909 Josie Bow-Maiden by LadyHonor (me lol) https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/52011 Kaidan 2 by livtempleton https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/19075 Improved Follower Dialog - Lydia by Roadhouse699 https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/38473 My personal Lydia head replacer (Please forgive the state of my trees. I recently installed the Great Forest of Whiterun Hold and *desperately* need to run DynoLOD. lol So ignore hideous distant trees and the sudden appearance of popping trees. :P)

I hate when I kill the dragon then do some dumb butt thing and die anyway.

Josie and Kaidan have a little fun at the inn in Helgen the night before the destruction of Helgen. I did this free-hand, so expect a few goofs. I'm not the most steady with a camera even on a good day. lol

I am loving the Improved Follower Dialog mod coupled with my Lydia replacer. Let's face it. That sassy mouth didn't fit well with the vanilla Lydia we've all come to love....or despise....lol

Love to rumble with swords, shields, greatswords, bows, or magic against dragons? Then you really need to try out Diverse Dragons. Dragon fights are among my favorites. This is just the first and mainly a test video to get a feel for rumble. If all goes well, expect more in the future!

Josie had some ink work done and decided to show it off with a little dance for Kaidan.
