It is very nice, Are. It was the first housing mod I checked out when I got the SSE. It was my base house for my mod tester.

Yeah, and the only "advantage" item in it is the bow, which, I think, does indeed have the Elven level damage.

And one might argue that the advantage of the bow is offset by the disadvantage of not getting "Well Rested" from the bed.

I've always justified using it in competition on the basis that:
1. I don't use the bow in competition.
2. You have to do Embershard to get it, so you already have cleared a place with a bed and storage.

(snip)

Does somebody else get this amount of free time to build up a character, before even "starting," and then get higher multiples too?

(snip)
Why not? If the higher multiples are for increased difficulty...

Suppose that you (and everyone else) had the option to build a character and develop it for 15 or 20 hours of your choosing before the competition even starts?

I think we all have the ability to take screen shots, so at the end of your 20 hours take a screenie (or 3) of your level, skill set and perks, and quests completed. That way everybody would know you hadn't been doing the competition quests and such early.

It might be interesting to play higher level characters in competitions, instead of newbies every time.

It might be fun to play a higher lvl character.. to start out.

Of course to do it that way, we would have to start a bit later, Sah and Adella have their grudge match going on.. and it would not be fair to them.. I'm sure both have went past the 20 hr mark by now.. and might ( probably are) using more than the 6 allowed skills perked and 2 freebies. so couldn't save.

It need's the majority to agree...

Set up a poll? That's the way to be sure you have a majority ruling....

The other thing that could be done, along that line, is to use an alternate start.

If you used LAL's "own property" start, you'd still be starting at level 1, with no skills developed, but with a semi-complete house and some minimal gear.

That would give those of us with less time a chance to get a similar "head start," without doing any of the round's quests.

I just used LaL for the beginning of a test run. Another option for the start to consider is the one I chose; start as an inn patron in Riverwood.

I stop picking up the fur armor and the like after a while because of weight.

I tend to forget my ore ... ><

I mine every ore vein I see. Usually by the time it takes me to walk from one city to another, I'm at the carry limit with ores and ingredients.

I've got one of those compulsive miners right now. She started with an LAL "surprise me" dump into Solstheim, picked up that special ancient nord pickaxe, and struggled to earn her passage back to the mainland. That ore gets heavy, one lump at a time.

I used to have chars who were compulsive miners... but random "Ore Guardians" broke me of that habit. they're roughly like having a Storm Atronach pop up right behind you while you're digging ore... but instead of lightning, they have a lethal sandstorm effect.

My armor skills are never up. I don't get hit enough so I'd have to buy training and I'm cheap.

My current load order:
0 0 Skyrim.esm
1 1 Update.esm
2 2 Dawnguard.esm
3 3 HearthFires.esm
4 4 Dragonborn.esm
5 5 Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition Patch.esp
6 6 ApachiiHair.esm
7 7 ApachiiHairFemales.esm
8 8 Cutting Room Floor.esp
9 9 SMIM-SE-Merged-All.esp
10 a consistent sensitivity.esp (Fixes mouse sensitivity change while turning, moving etc, with an unsheathed weapon.. oversight on Beth's part imo)
11 b CRF - ShieldSpellFXS Restore.esp (Alteration shield spell fix. Hate the "new" cutting room floor version)
12 c Dawnguard Delayed - Level 50.esp
13 d IHSS.esp (horse footstep sounds)
14 e KS_Hairdo's_Lite_NoNPCs.esp
15 f Whistle.esp (Horse whistle. Not sure why it's in my load order because I never use it lol)
16 10 JS Armored Circlets SE.esp (Crafting materials require metal and gems. Requires perk to make. Sell value and protection equal to same helmet, just doesn't cover your head, which I hate helmets for and there's no toggle/invis helmets that I found for SSE. There's a vendor that lets you buy them but the prices are absurd.)
17 11 Realistic and Balanced Horses.esp (changes some of the mechanics, notably sprint duration and turn precision. I don't use horses in competition anyways)
18 12 IcePenguinWorldMap.esp (A quality world map - stone roads)
19 13 RealisticWaterTwo.esp (water graphics)
20 14 Proper Aiming.esp (aligns bows more with the crosshair.. seems to kinda suck in SSE for some reason. Still have to aim over heads way too much)
21 15 Skyrim Flora Overhaul.esp
22 16 Simple AUA.esp (auto unequip ammo when not equipping a ranged weapon. Does not auto switch ammo types when you run out like the auto unequip ammo one I used in SLE, that function would require SKSE)
23 17 VioLens SE.esp (Kill move mod)
24 18 VioLens SE - Book Menu.esp (Kill move config)
25 19 The Paarthurnax Dilemma.esp (kill or not kill Paarthy)
26 1a KrittaKittyHorsesForSSE.esp (Horse textures)
27 1b LycHairstyler.esp (lets you change NPC and self hairstyles. New hairstyle is a helmet. We don't use followers in comp anyways, can always just not use it)
28 1c ApachiiHelmetWigs.esp

Nothing that actually makes the game harder. If anything, it makes playing on higher difficulties tolerable without crafting. Still unsure what I'm going to use this time around if I go in.

Though I *can* get away with playing on a higher difficulty without mandatory crafting. Currently playing on Master.

So I was thinking.

2h
Light Armor
Alteration
Illusion
Alchemy

What to do for sixth? Was thinking possibly conjuration but I never level that anywhere worth a damn. :/

I'm struggling with a 6th as well... I changed my mind about heavy armor... fickle I know...

Light, 2h, archery, smithing... and that might be all I perk.. with Block so it's not a penalty and I was thinking maybe sneak.. for the same reason. ... cause just getting too a 2h weapon she has to use sneak a bit.

Conjuration is a good one, even if you only get enough skill ( and magicka pool ) to summon all three Atonachs... cause in an emergency get away situation...
