LE Do these mods exist?

[mauvecloud]

I initially asked about most of these in the "Mod Detectives" thread, but I was told that was the wrong place for it, so now I'm posting a thread here.

 

I'm wondering if there are existing mods to do the following:

 

1. Make the executioner at the beginning of the game move the first victim completely out of the way, so that a second prisoner actually has room to kneel at the block.
2. Provide a less-misleading name for the "Become Ethereal" shout (the current name makes it sound like a walk-through-walls cheat, which it certainly isn't)
3. Allow purchasing more than 20 logs at a time from lumber mill owners (Hearthfire)
4. Allow cutting my own logs without mill owner present if I already have permission, or if mill owner(s) are dead for whatever reason (Hearthfire)
5. Provide lockpicking UI textures based on what is actually being picked (so that picking the lock on a wooden door won't look identical to picking the lock on a dwemer chest, and maybe add graduations if my lockpicking skill is high enough)
6. Add sub-objectives for the "No Stone Unturned" quest (in case I want to keep track of which ones I've already found, even with quest markers disabled).
7. Add elven and beast-race children, some (or all) of whom have existing parents, so that they're not immediately adoptable.

I might take a crack at making a few of the simpler ones myself in a month or two (if they don't already exist, e.g. I find it hard to believe I'm the only one who wants #1, though perhaps it will turn out to be more difficult than I imagine to make such a mod), but if someone wants to beat me to them, that's fine.

1. No. It' so specific and irrelevant since most people use alternate start mods and the scene lasts less than a minute.

2. "extremely delicate and light in a way that seems not to be of this world." I think it's fine but it takes like 2 seconds to change something like this.

3. No idea.

4. No idea.

5. Not possible afaik. They all share 1 texture and that can't be changed. Maybe some skse function can change it on the fly but I have my doubts.

6. No.

7. No idea, look for children mods.

Thank you for responding.

For #2, there's also a meaning "lacking material substance : immaterial, intangible" (from Merriam-Webster online), which is where my confusion comes from. Additionally, "delicate" doesn't fit well with what the shout actually does. I'm having trouble thinking of a better name for it, though.

For #5, I was afraid that might be the case.

For #7, perhaps I should have mentioned that I have already looked for children mods, but the ones I've seen that add elven/beast race children only add them as orphans, which is why I was asking about one that gives some of them parents.

7. I can't imagine a mod like that without children mentioned somewhere in the file page so you would have found it if it was uploaded on to the nexus. I figured you didn't search some of these since No.6 would have been easy to find if it existed. You should have just requested the mods to be made, if they exist, people will point you in the right direction.

You could do almost all of these yourself in using the creation kit for just 5 minutes.

I'm not so sure about that. There are several things that will slow me down:

1. I haven't written any mods for Skyrim before, so I will need to find some tutorials when I have a chance.

2. I have some health problems that make it hard for me to concentrate long enough to deal with the tutorials.

3. When I try to open Skyrim.esm and Hearthfires.esm in the Creation Kit, it crashes after I tell it "Ignore" and "Yes to All" to the various errors and warnings that pop up. That will interfere with ideas 3, 4, and possibly 7.

4. I'm planning to upgrade my computer in early September (I'll post a message on the Tom's Hardware Forum so that others can review my plans before I order the parts), so it might make sense to hold off on doing any mod development until after I've done that.

7. there is little yet, but there is enough either to start, or at least to feel it exist, as for parent, the closest to it yet is.:

 

Skyrim Child Overhaul WIP

My little kitty Ma-Rakha-Khajiit boy

KhajiitChild Maisha

My little hatchling Ram-Ku-Argonian

Aymar and Friends

Little Caravans and More Children Wears

 

most are old, and the updated ones are all (yet) adoptable.

 

Ravenrock expansion has a wipp to add dummer kids at the cost. but in general, the best to expect is a new children overhaul.
