About this mod

Practice mindfulness with rewarding stone stacking for your adventurer's work-life-balance.

Permissions and credits
Stone stacks invite you to take a break from stressful adventuring and to practice your patience.

Since my Snow People were found to be not lore-friendly enough for some players, here's a more subtle addition to your game:

You will find inconspicuous stone stacks spread across Skyrim along the river banks and at the lake shores. 65 of them.

You will see three stones stacked on top of each other. Why not take a moment and add another one on top? And another one?

You can interact with the stacks, ignore them, add stones or decide they are perfect the way they are. If you decide they are perfect, you will be rewarded a little gift for your patience, your effort, maybe your frustration, but mostly for appreciating the little joyful things in life.

The more stones you manage to stack the more valuable the gifts will be - always matching your level.

  • 3 stones will gift you a bit of gold - this is a cheap loot as you don't even have to stack anything
  • 4 stones may give you gold or a rare ingredient
  • 5 stones will give any one of: gold, rare ingredient or a potion
  • 6 stones will give you two gifts of: gold, rare ingredient, potion, scroll
  • 7 stones are the master level. You will get three gifts of: gold, rare ingredient, potion, scroll, weapon, armor

New with version 1.1:

The stones will also grant you a blessing spell, "Tranquility of Stacking Stones", which fortifies health, stamina and magicka for a period of time:

  • 3 stones will fortify by 20 points for 2 hours
  • 4 stones will fortify by 20 points for 3 hours
  • 5 stones will fortify by 20 points for 4 hours
  • 6 stones will fortify by 30 points for 6 hours
  • 7 stones will fortify by 50 points for 6 hours

The blessings will not stack but will replace each other. So don't rush it with a 5 stone pile if you still have a longer blessing active.
Take your time, take it slow.
Optional file for version 1.1: Stone Stacks Gift Remover

Install this after the main mod (version 1.1 only), making it overwrite the main mod. This patch will prevent the material gifts from being given and only grant the blessing spells.

Have a break, have a kit-k... stack some stones!


Special thanks to SilverDragon437 for the awesome scripting. I would never have managed this.


Oh and please don't vandalize the stones ;-)



PS:
  • May conflict with other mods which add stuff in exactly the same locations, but at worst the stones will be inside other objects, no big deal. They are small, and there are enough of them. There's no way for me to check every possible landscape-altering mod on Nexus.
  • Yes, can be installed during playthrough - No, probably not a good idea to remove during playthrough. Just leave them in, they don't do harm.
  • They come with their own textures so they are independant from any texture replacers you may have installed.
  • ESL-flagged to not take up any ESP-slot.
