WIPz CEO and Hearthfire Conflicts List

Hearthfire has some conflicts with my work-in-progress mod Crafting Enjoyment Overhaul.  This is a list of those conflicts and some ideas to resolve them for the Hearthfire version of my mod.

Retextures:
Hearthfire includes retextures of most of the soups and stews.
Apple Cabbage Stew
Beef Stew
Cabbage Potato Soup (uses same n-map as Apple Cabbage Stew)
Elseweyr Fondue
Horker Stew
Tomato Soup
Vegetable Soup
Venison Stew (uses same n-map as Beef Stew)
Notes: Cabbage Potato Soup uses an n-map that doesn't match.  Cabbage Soup is not retextured at all, nor is the stew in the Cooking Pot.
My plans:  My retextures will be released in an optional addon.  Cabbage Soup and Cooking Pot retextures will be part of the main mod.  Create proper n-map for Hearthfire's Cabbage Potato Soup, probably don't need one for Venison Stew since it is nearly identical to Beef Stew.

New Foods:
These new foods duplicate ones that I have already created.
Flour (mine is an ingredient)
Milk
Butter
Clam Chowder
My plans: Remove these changes to the CEO esp file.  My meshes and textures can be an optional addon.

New Recipes:
These are new recipes that conflict with recipes that I have created for the same items.
Apple Pie (this pie is the one USKP renames Meat Pie, I have recipes for both kinds of pie)
Bread (this is bread01A the whole loaf bread)
Clam Chowder
Flour
Sweet Roll
My plans: Change Apple Pie recipe to make my Apple Pie.  Keep my Meat Pie recipe as is.  Remove the rest of the changes from the CEO esp file.

New Crafts:
Conflicting new crafts.
Milling
My plans: Remove this from CEO esp file.

New Crafting Stations:
Conflicting crafting stations.
Grain Mills
Butterchurn (Hearthfire's churn is Flora, rather than Furniture)
My Plans: Remove Grain Mill changes from CEO esp file.  Replace Hearthfire's Butterchurn with my Butterchurn.

Other Things:
Not necessarily conflicts, but things to consider anyway.
Salmon Steak (now there are two kinds, you can now only cook the Hearthfire steak)
Baking Oven (for Hearthfire version of CEO, I will need to change some recipes to Baking craft)
Grain Mills (non-Crafting station type, found as Activators in vanilla Skyrim)
My plans: Make the old Salmon Steak craftable, maybe rename it (Smoked Salmon?).  Change my baked goods recipes from Cooking Pot to the Oven.  The non-crafting Grain Mills, if not being used by the game for any purpose then I will replace these with the crafting Grain Mills.

DLC Hearthfire released!

Skyrim's new DLC Hearthfire has finally been released on PC for only $4.99.  I'll be downloading it in the next few minutes.  Soon we'll see what conflicts between Hearthfire and my mod CEO there are.  UESP has already given me some ideas on their list of Hearthfire Items.  It isn't just new items, they have retextured most (if not all) of the soups and stews.  So far the retextures, some of the new items, and new Milling craft are all conflicting with CEO.

The plan for CEO is to do a vanilla and a Hearthfire version.  The vanilla version will be for players that do not have Hearthfire installed, since it will conflict.  The Hearthfire version will resolve those conflicts.  I think that for the conflicting retextures, that maybe I will release an optional retex-pack to let players pick their preference.

In the near future, I will post a list of conflicts and how they will be resolved for Hearthfire.

Milk Drinker

Phew!  I am still able to model and UV map.  Here is the Milk Jug.  Almost done, next step is importing it into NifSkope.

Modding Once Again!

The result of one of the new recipes:

Roast Dog Ribs
Better than eating them raw!



After not modding since March, I needed to figure out where I left off...  So here is a basic update, in depth details are now on my website.  Honestly, I wasn't going to start modding or playing again until after finding a full-time job, but I can't put it all on hold forever.  I'm still job hunting and just had a promising interview today.  Hopefully something good will come soon.  In the meantime, I must mod!

Done:
New Craft: Milling
3 new Milling Recipes
1 new Alchemy Ingredient
1 new Raw Food
5 new Cooked Foods
10 retextured pre-existing Foods
1 retextured pre-existing Alchemy Ingredient
14 new Cooking Recipes for pre-existing Foods (not able to cook previously)
5 new Cooking Recipes for new Foods

Pending:
More (at least 4) new Foods
More (at least 7) new Alchemy Ingredients
More (at least 1) retextures of pre-existing Foods
Ideas: Milking, Brewing, Cooking morbid ingredients, Food effect changes/balance, Add staples to vendor list... ???

New WIPz Page for CEO

Crafting Enjoyment Overhaul now has its own webpage.  I can keep track of what I'm doing easier and so everyone else can see the mods current progress.  Currently working on food, check out my progress.  Hope you like what you see.

Yummy Food for CEO

Crafting Enjoyment Overhaul's food textures are coming along nicely. Thanks to Scot for Alternative Soup Textures - Modder's Resource for providing most of the default soups. The only ones left are beef stew and horker stew. I might do a cheese fondue instead of chocolate for the Elsweyr fondue since the recipe uses cheese.

Any other textures either I will find free images online or take pictures myself. I've completed two food textures tonight. Added Scot's soups and my two foods to the mod. I have a couple more food related ideas that I plan on adding, just need to figure out implementation. One of which will be a craft, easy to do. The other quite a bit more complicated, but will be so rewarding if I can pull it off!

Skyrim Food Truck in Seattle for PAX 2011

The Skyrim Food Truck stopped by Seattle during PAX this last Summer. There was free food, free plush helmets, and lots of fans! I had fun waiting around with a crowd of mostly men and a few ladies (I was probably the only one there in a long skirt.) Everyone was chanting for the helmets and food. So without further ado here are my pics:

The most awesome truck ever!














The Holy Skyrim Napkin. (I have saved it in a ziplock, used my long skirt as a napkin as a proper nord lady should.)














Lunch: Dragon Leg, Whiterun Corn, a Solitude Sweetroll... and a bottled water.














Two helmets, one to wear and one to save for eternity.














Me having fun with my buddies at Gamestop. I wanted to see if they'd recognize me.














Nerd alert! Give a girl a permanent marker, a Daedric alphabet, and her online Elder Scrolls name. What do you get?
