   Hi there, It has been a while since I visited LE page, I like this set very much, and it has great story telling and images. I love the flamingo's shot, they look happy to see your group of travelers. The shot of the moon with dragons keep is really cool as well, and Wills loading screen is awesome!! I hope your New Year is a good one and I will remember to cross over to the Le Nexus pages more often
   
   Take care my Friend!!

      Hi! Thanks for coming over to this side for a visit, and I know how that goes... I don't often scan SE or FO4 imageshare myself, I just track a few special users. You know... the creators of Lucinda, Lacola, Amber, Jade... and a few more girls I can't remember the names of at the moment... but I love them when I see them!! (To clarify that a bit... I check notifications for postings of tracked users separately for each game... but I do try to check for SE and FO4 notifications at least once each day.)
      
      Glad you liked that one of the moon with dragons keep - I debated on that one, but I like it too. And those flamingos... they had not been visited in my game since September of 2019 when I added them, so they indeed may have been happy to see us!
      
      You take care too, my friend!

   Congrats on starting the construction project! :p
   And that bandit leader scenario is hilarious lol. Try to be cheeky by lighting the area on fire but when it doesn't quite do the job then comes the awkward part of actually killing them while half apologizing for lighting them on fire first.

      Thanks, friend! There are some very interesting changes in my game that is making the contruction project a bit more challenging. On the bandit leader, my biggest concern at that moment in time, was that I would be breaking a quest no matter what I did, but I think things are fine. Time will tell.

      I know I still owe you some images. I haven't forgotten, but I wanted to take one last attempt at some retextures first. Haha, my attempts last week will not ever be seen by anyone, ever!

      Thank you Frank, I really appreciate your kind words! I know you have a lot of interesting things in your game, which is part of what inspired me to add many new creatures to my game as well.

   That second bird in Falkreath is a peacock - and I remember one in RL at a place called Leeds Castle running up to a schoolkid who was with an outing with his class and it stole an entire packet of crisps out of his hand and ran for it.  I laughed so much.
   
   Nice set of pics and Lady Arkay did indeed look unamused in the inn, but she did in every shot.  What gets her happy?

      Thanks! Some birds are indeed very feisty... I have been snapped at by a goose in RL a few times, luckily I always stayed just out of range. They can be nasty! As far as Lady Arkay is concerned, also known as Lady Death, I think she was not happy with me because of the lack of action in this set. Maybe next time.

      Cool images and set CMH, I can see how easy it is to get distracted in your game !
      Getting 5000 gold at the start of a playthrough is harsh !
      
      In India, I believe the peacock symbolises the God of War, so they are allowed to roam wherever they like. To disturb one is bad luck for the town or village !
      
      I'm a HUGE fan of Lady Death, I would recommend looking up her story to anyone !   You wouldn't want what makes her happy

      Thank you, Saint! Getting that 5000 gold was just the start... other mods I have installed have changed how things work, and I feel like I am playing a different game. Of course, that was the idea... but, well... more on that in the next set.
      
      Regarding the peacocks, that is very interesting. And... it certainly brought bad luck to the vampires that killed them in a vampire attack later in my playthrough. I have no images of this scene, so this isn't a spoiler of things to come in my next set. Between guards, followers, and other NPCs in Falkreath, the vampire attack only lasted a few seconds as I walked out of the inn. I only got to kill one of vampires, but the vampires were actually attacking the peacocks too, and all 3 of the ones in Falkreath are now gone. The peacocks are supposed to respawn, but haven't so far. On a positive note... the peacock feathers I harvested were helpful! Yeah, I harvested them! And the vampires too!

      Thanks Lacola! Thanks RT! I think Lady Arkay just blushed, but she ain't gonna admit it!

      Hahaha, I can't stop laughing at that image of the girl adding oil to her engine! But I have to say... with that gorgeous long hair in that red outfit and awesome heels she does look fantastic doing it! Send her to me, and I will teach her a thing or two...
      
      
      
      Thanks, my friend... you just made my day!

   I'm really enjoying seeing your progress. 
   I envy you in a way; I almost wish I could go back and play Skyrim for the for first time but not really because I was never able to get my LE game to work well and I definitely don't have the patience and expertise you possess to setup it up like you have. hahaa
   Gorgeous sunburst in the intro and I love these game progress scenes.
   Lakeview Manor is easily one of my favorite player homes; I run Lakeview Manor As It Should Be which is the best mod for Lakeview Manor in my view.
   Enjoy your Skyrim experience; you certainly earned it with all the work you have done.
   Best wishes,
   Gurley

      Thanks so much, Gurley! To be clear, I did play to Level 100 back on my xbox 360, but this new playthrough is totally like playing a new game. Not just because of all the changes I have crammed into it... but also because my memory ain't as good as it once was, and it has been several years since the 360 playthrough. On creating my game... haha... I normally don't have patience with almost anything. But somehow getting into the geeky stuff for me is different, and helps keep me relatively sane. And it does take a lot of patience, and trial and error. And yes, occasionally, some cussin' too!

      Lakeview Manor was my favorite player home on the 360, and especially with Lakeview Extended, it could be my favorite in my new Skyrim... except that even with mods I don't believe it will support having six kids?? So I have decided to have Skyfall Estate as my main player home at some point. It is amazing too, and is located near Whiterun. And it supports 6 kids. And... other reasons too.  More will be revealed about that in the future  but Skyfall has already been a big part of my game and image sets.
      
      And Lakeview Manor WILL be an important part of this playthrough, especially early in the game.
      
      Now, while I totally need to use Lakeview Extended for the Exterior (and I thought you did too), Lakeview Manor As It Should Be can be used for the interior. And I really really love a lot of what it does. But I do have some problems with the mod. In part because the two kids rooms are designed for a boy and a girl, and at least early in the game I will have two girls, and later more than just those two. But I also had some other plans of my own for Lakeview Manor, and they might conflict with LMaiSB. I couldn't decide which way to go and needed to get this playthrough started, so I kept it out of my new game. Now... LMaiSB normally needs to be installed before building Lakeview Manor, but if you build it a certain way, and I think I am doing that, it might be possible to install it later. I will rethink that when I am done building Lakeview. Like you said, it is an amazing mod.
