The bag looks cools, but seems a bit flimsy. Might be better to use a closer weave, or a stronger cross-weave stitch, so the bag might be used like a handbag and can hold slightly heavier items without tearing. If possible, there can be thicker "bands" to connect the base of the bag to the top, so that many of the see-through weaves can be retained for the nice semi-transparent exotic look. Just my ideas, I don't know anything about weaving or crotchet-making. I also liked the flowers/leaves, the coaster and the potholders! They're cute! The way you mixed and matched the different weaves, is very efficient and seamless! Good work Illiad, and it is a very useful and peaceful hobby.

There are indeed quite a few mods that depend on or modify the Thieves Guild storyline, or its core characters and basic gameplay tenets. Here are a "few" that might interest you to take a look... Thieves Guild HQ - Unhealthy Competition and SF PatchThieves Guild DuesThieves Guild Add-onThieves Guild HQSNR Thieves GuildKvatch RisingThe Next Gray FoxBetter Gray FoxArmor of the Gray FoxBe A BeggarPlay as Hieronymus LexHieronymus Lex MakeoverHigher Thieves Guild Fence AmountsThieves Guild Heirloom Quick FixSome mods might be only little mods that simply modify an NPC's appearance, change the NPC outfits or add a few items in the Thieves Guild HQ, and these might remain unaffected by other new mods. But, any or all of the Thieves Guild mods, should be considered for possible conflicts, by any new mod that radically attempts to modify (or god forbid, remove!) the Thieves Guild storyline. Also, you should note that a mod that tries to arrest Gray Fox or subdue/destroy the Thieves Guild may also affect any mods that depend on Gray Fox and his cronies (or Hieronymus Lex and his cronies). The level of scripting required to make your storyline mod idea possible without causing disruptions in other related mods, is certainly not simple. What you are asking for, seems almost like the inverse of the Unhealthy Competition mod, on a grander scale. If you don't like Thieves, don't join the guild (or get the Gray Fox cowl and wear it while killing whoever you don't like - blame will ideally fall on the Gray Fox), that's my humble suggestion. Mind you, I am saying your mod idea is doable (maybe with some caveats), but you will need to do a lot of playtesting to avoid/resolve potential conflicts with other Thieves Guild mods, even in unexpected areas (such as the Thieves Guild introduced by Kvatch Rising mod, Reneer's Guard Overhaul and other guard mods, or any of the stealth mods). Personally I like Thieves, but only if they are NPCs. :pirate::happy:

Did you even take a look at Smarter Mercantile? It can work WITHOUT Living Economy. I hope you realize that every mod you use is actually affecting the "game balance", in some way or another. For me, easier and better selling through any one or more of the above mods is actually setting the "vanilla, clunky selling experience" into a better "rhythm" (if you don't want to call it "unbalancing"). Mercantile skills sucks in the vanilla game. You can do tons of quest, but not a single one as a proper merchant, AFAIK. The game is geared towards combat and magic, not really towards selling goods. Even the whole user interface is not friendly for bartering/sharing/training, etc. Personally I never bother about mercantile. I just use the console to get lots of gold to buy all the fabulous stuff from all the new mods. And I dump my junk to whoever I can sell it to or give away to companions/NPCs. "Realism" might work for any other skill. Not mercantile. Just deal with it or fix it with mods.

Looks like a good mod! Mark, thanks for sharing that useful link.

Here you go: Craftybits Remember what you need to do first. The answer lies within.

If you own such a sword, use a digicam to take a snap of it against a clean white/dark background. If it is something easily available, search for and find us a decent pic. Modders are always ready to help, but you need to help them visualize. And pics are better than verbose descriptions (though what you wrote was good info).

An Ents mod? It should be doable, though the character may be unwieldy. It cannot don any armor, would have difficulty entering buildings (due to its height and girth), and its branches/twigs/leaves would not animate (except for the limbs). I think MMM has Ents: Forest Ents and Twisted Ents.:cool: But if you want a tree that walks and looks like a person, then you already have them in your game! They are called Spryggans! :biggrin:

Always search the forums first. Your request is already WIP. Join hands with mod ideator Taurni.

Interesting thought. I always pitied Lex, he seemed to be universally hated by everyone, probably even his own guards. And believe it or not, when I played the game the first time, I was hoping that Lex would turn out be the Gray Fox! Something like how Peter Parker always captures snaps of Spiderman to land him in more trouble, even though Spidey is his own alter ego. But what you guys are proposing is going to be very difficult to script, and will break quite a few mods based on the Thieves Guild, even if the Thieves Guild storyline is not impacted totally by your mod idea.

SpiralUnix already maintains Huge Custom Race CM Compilation Part 1 and Part 2. Perhaps you can work with him, or add something unique that he doesn't intend to work on. Always try to be unique, so people will enjoy and appreciate your work more. Or create whatever mod you please. I always like new races and companions, so I will definitely support you. :thumbsup: Maybe you can add companions based on those Predators, Aliens, Halo Spartans, or other rare races/characters. There may be fewer people using them, but they will come running to you. :laugh:
