Bridges Overhaul - Update

So it looks like the bridges overhaul is slowly becoming a complete roads overhaul.

I created another model for a smaller bridge which you can see here, near Hillgrund's Tomb. In this case, I've replaced a large vanilla bridge with two smaller ones for variety. The textures you see are originally from https://www.texturecan.com/. I've edited them a bit in GIMP and am using them as a placeholder for the momen...

COTN Winterhold + Realistic Nord Ships patch

Finally made the long overdue patch for COTN Winterhold and DK's amazing Nord ships. Enjoy !

Berserkyr ENB - Release

Here it is, and a bit ahead of schedule !

Thank you guys for your support and feedback concerning the ENB. I hope you will love this release version and have fun seeing Skyrim through the eyes of the Berserkyr.

From now on, my modding time will be entirely devoted to the bridges overhaul. I don't have a release date yet, as there is still quite some work to do, but as always I'll keep you updated.

Cheers !

Berserkyr Misc

Taking cool shots around Skyrim, to be used for the Nexus mod page. 

I've only 6 minor weathers to tweak, while I make small corrections to the other ones. Expect a release in the first half of February.

Also, if you guys have taken good shots while playing with the beta version, feel free to send it to me ! I'll publish them on the nexus page on release, with proper credits of course.

Cheers !

COTN Whiterun Layout Test

As promised, here is a little something to thank you all !

This is a concept for COTN Whiterun, based on the early concept arts made for Skyrim. You will be able to see what I have in mind when it comes to scale for this overhaul : nothing too crazy, but still substantially bigger than vanilla Whiterun. 

To use this file, I recommend that you start a new game with USSEP, Open Cities and nothing else. Just "coc whiterun" on the title screen and walk around the city. DO NOT INS...

2022 Roadmap

Hey everyone !

A bit of news concerning what is to come this year. 

- Berserkyr ENB : will most likely be the first 2022 release, early february (if you tested the beta, I would love to hear your opinion !)

- Bridges Overhaul : will depend if I end up using vanilla textures or creating custom ones, but I'm confident it will be released before summer.

- COTN Dawnstar 2.0 : complete redo of Dawnstar, with new 3d models, added buildings, a new layout, eventually ques...

Happy Holidays !

I wish you all happy holidays and a merry Christmas ! This year was absolutely great for the Skyrim modding scene and the next could be even greater. 

Thanks again to all the patrons for your support which is highly appreciated ! See you all in 2022 and until then take care.

Cheers !

Berserkyr ENB - Beta Release

Berserkyr ENB is almost 100% done. I've decided to release a beta version on this page before the Nexus release, until I've finished tweaking every weather. I would love to hear what you whink about it after playing for a bit !

The following mods are hard requirements :

*NAT.ENB - ESP PLUGIN v3.0.1 : https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/27141?tab=files<...

Wooden Bridges

I'm almost done with the wooden bridge kit. This is entirely modular (fences, floor, arch are separate pieces) and thus allows me to create different designs. It is still using vanilla textures for the moment but I will create new ones for the final version.

Let me know what you think about it in the comments !

JP's Style - Smooth Cam Preset

A little something for you guys to thank you for your support :

https://mega.nz/file/BhtDzCKa#p9KblZcHFQK1At18TUCv-TeXLVDKk0lIC6JNlRswuNo

I've been working on this preset for quite some time and I'm pretty satisfied with it. It's designed to be used with True Directional Movement and SkySA, but it should work well without these.

If you want to see how it looke in game, you can check these two vi...

Abyssal Apocrypha

Berserkyr ENB is nearing completion ! I will post a beta version here in a few days before the Nexus release. At the moment, I've completed 32 out of 45 weather files and the ones remaining are not too common (e.g. the Bloodmoon or the Eclipse weathers). So let's say the current version of Berserkyr ENB is playable.

I've also created an add-on for Beyond Skyrim : Bruma, and a compatibility Patch for Lux, which I recommend using with the ENB.

Thank you all for your support. I know ...

[UPDATE] JK's Skyrim + Wares of Tamriel Patch

I've just uploaded version 1.4 of the JK + WoT patch. It has been remade from scratch and should work flawlessly with the latest versions of both mods as well as the Anniversary Edition.

Rorikstead Basalt Cliffs 1.2

Version 1.2 of Rorikstead Basalt Cliffs can now be downloaded on the Nexus. I fixed a few landscape issues and the mod is now compatible with CC's Farm. Enjoy !

City Entrances Overhaul - Whiterun

This is the unreleased "City Entrances Overhaul - Whiterun" I worked on a while ago. Never finished this one and then moved on to other projects (I started working on COTN Dawnstar at that time).

There are no interiors but the exterior was ~80% finished. 

Enjoy ! 

Some news

Hey ! So I've posted a bit less this last month as you may have seen. We're nearing the end of the semester and I have quite a lot to do regarding my studies. However I'm still finding time to work on my mods, mainly Berserkyr ENB. I'm focusing on it and I hope to release it before the end of the year.

The bridges are taking a bit more time but it's coming along well. The 3d models are fine but now I need to improve the textures.

I will be able to show more soon, so stay tuned. An...

Skyrim SE |4K| - Berserkyr ENB - Dungeon Gameplay

New video showcase of Berserkyr ENB, showing off dungeons atmosphere. Ruins and forts will be dark, so you better bring a torch with you !

Berserkyr ENB - Orcs of the Reach

More progress for the ENB, and a new video is coming soon. 

Also, NAT 3.0 has been released on the nexus so you can go check it right now !

1st Bridge Completed

I consider this model 100% finished. This is a standard stone bridge, quite long and not too damaged. It won't be tied to a specific region but rather found all around Skyrim.

I don't know yet how many different models I'll create, I guess it will depend on my inspiration. Next one will be a wooden bridge, a bit smaller than this one. 

Bridges Overhaul - First Look

Have a look at a few images showing progress on the bridges !

I've been working on bricks textures, playing with specular and environment maps. Next I will work on wood and custom roof tiles. Once I'm done with the texture sets, it will be time to design the other bridge variants.

As always, please let me know what you think about this WIP. Cheers !

Clans of Skyrim

So this is a project I worked on two years ago. The goal was to make the different clans (like Gray-manes, Battleborns, ...) joinable. There would also have been a small questline involving rival factions and more. I always felt the clans were underused in the base game, passed the few interactions in Whiterun and maybe the Silver-Blood or Black-Briar.

I worked on several banner and shield designs which weren't implemented, but you can check the loose files to see them. 

As i...

Berserker Stone custom asset

A quest item which will be featured in a future mod. It's the first time I create an item from A to Z, including textures. This was the occasion for me to learn how to use Substance Painter. I'm learning Designer as well to make tileable textures ( those will be needed for the bridges overhaul).

That Berserker thing was just a small thing I made to add new creatures but it is evolving towards something bigger. The goal right now is to create a small quest as well as assorted clutter/sta...

Skyrim SE |4K| - New Berserker Enemies + Combat Gameplay

A quick demonstration of a new type of enemies I've started working on a while ago. These berserkers live in small groups far away from settlements and will attack any intruder on sight. Gameplay-wise, they will turn into werebears when their health goes below 50%. The script isn't 100% perfect yet since they don't turn back into their human form once the combat is over. 

This video's goal is also to show the combat setup I'm working on. I will certainly create a guide for those in...

Berserky ENB - Mountains & Forests

I've started the second pass on every weather/.ini file for Berserkyr ENB. Here you can see some foggy and sunny weathers. Those are the first two to be 100% finished. Still no release date but it's getting closer !

Concerning the bridges, I've had a few issues with getting Substance Designer to work on my PC but it's been resolved this evening. This means I'll most likely start working on textures next week. The first bridge 3d model is already finished, so once I'm done wit...

Skyrim SE |4K| - Berserkyr ENB - Riverwood

New showcase for Berserkyr, focusing on Riverwood. The weather shwon (ID 10e1f2) is the one I'm most satisfied with, really managed to get the look and feel I wanted. 

Also, good news : Rudy kindly allowed me to use his files, which means I will be able to publish Berserkyr ENB on the nexus once I'm done !

Next project - You decide ! + Patron benefits

Hey ! 

So now that Falkreath is done I'll start my next project (after the JK's Skyrim patch is done, that is). I have a few ideas and all of them sound equally interesting to work on so I'm asking you what you'd be more excited about. All of these options are overhauls which will come with new 3d models.

Of course if you have other ideas feel free to share them in the comments !

Also note that you can choose more than one option.

---------------------------------...

Cities of the North - Falkreath RELEASE

Finally, here it is : Cities of the North - Falkreath has been released ! 

Thank you all so much for your support and trust. There are a lot of things to come in the future and I hope my work will keep meeting your expectations. 

Happy adventuring to you all !

SKYRIM SE - Berserkyr ENB : Northern Shores

Here is a trailer I put together to showcase Berserkyr ENB. It focuses on the - you guessed it - northern shores of Skyrim. As always, feedback is extremely welcome. Enjoy !

Berserky ENB - Dark Rain

Some more images of Falkreath but the focus is on the ENB. I'm pretty satisfied with how this weather turned out, let me know what you think !

COTN Falkreath - Gameplay

Some gameplay footage of the upcoming COTN Falkreath. It was all recorded in vanilla Skyrim, the only plugins used were USSEP and COTN. Enjoy !
