That's hideous, takes far too many clicks to get right.

She varies a lot. Sometimes it's only half an hour, other times it's 2 hours. She's great in the mornings too. We're not really sure what time she wakes up but she's happy to play/talk to herself in her cot til she gets bored and starts talking to us.

 

Today on my first day off for Christmas she woke up at 8ish but went back to sleep. I didn't hear her again til 9:53 so had a lovely lie in :D

Ha. I was just sorting some stuff out upstairs and I heard her open the living room door. She ran out the hallway when she saw me coming downstairs and tried to open the front door. Good thing it was locked or she'd have been outside running up the road :S

Wow, she sounds like a great sleeper!

 

William had a fairly long spate of getting up around 7 and amusing himself with whatever was in his cot, it just didn't last - now anything over 7am is a lie in for us!

 

I was hoping he'd inherit his mother's sleeping ways - when she was a nipper she would stand at the bottom of the stairs demanding to go to bed. (nod)

She normally gets us up around 8 so today was very late luckily for me :) When she gets tired she goes to the bottom of the stairs and says "nigh nigh." We don't always listen to her if it's too early, she normally goes to bed about 8.

I got up at around 8am yesterday, but only because that's when the shops in Markarth opened.

:) Do they have any Christmas/New Year sales?

 

I keep getting random dragon skeletons appearing at Winterhold College. I keep shooting them away with my firebolts but they keep coming back.

Maybe we're putting the boy to bed too early - his normal bedtime (to go to sleep) is around half 7. :/

I think there's a quest that involves clearing out the skeletons from the basement levels of the college, although I've not undertaken it myself. Might be worth doing to see if it clears them up?

As for offers, I really would love to see the traders offering "buy 5 get one free" offers on arrows, "All potions 25% off today", "Spend over 200 gold and get 6 gold per kilo off your next purchase of horse food". That'd be awesome :)

I think it's just a time she would normally fall asleep when she was younger and we've stuck to that. And if she sleeps til 8am then I'm happy with that :)

 

She's a nightmare at the moment though, climbing up on the cabinet we have next to the sofa and TV. She's just started climbing up on the table we put in front of the glass cabinet to stop her getting in there and no amount of "NO!"s will stop her. Grr.

There are dragon skeletons beneath the college? I will check that out to see if it helps. I'm still on the original unpatched version which probably doesn't help either.

Sorry, normal ones. I missed the "dragon" word before :-$

Ah, nevermind then :) I now have a dragon stuck in the archway into the college. It has it's head and a wing stuck in the building above so won't move when I fire at it.

 

No doubt this thread will see more activity in a couple of days.

Are there any suggested mods that should be installed?

I think the only one I have installed is the high resolution sign posts, not that I read them often anyway. There is a better inventory but that didn't work with my unpatched version. Maybe I should update it. Hmm.

I have one which makes horses sprint a lot faster. Then via a console command, you can increase the level of your horse so that it can actually sprint for longer than 17 seconds before becoming knackered. The result is that horses are actually useful and you can realistically play without using fast travel. Also, another mod makes horses cowardly. They'll still engage in battle, but if they take a bit of damage, they'll flee to a safe distance. REALLY useful as it does stop the infuriation of watching your horse charging off into a group of bandits only to get killed.

My horse squares up to dragons and survives, I think you need to talk to your dealer.

I haven't travelled on a horse yet but I'm sure if I do I'll be using at least the cowardly horse mod.

Indeed. There's two versions, one of which makes the horses "essential" so they don't die. Of course, the best mod would be one that just makes the horse stay where you fucking park it instead of sprinting off into battle all the time.

As for running, my beef is that in normal running mode, the horses are barely faster than running on foot, and when you sprint, the horse gets knackered within seconds. Combining it all, vanilla horses are slow, stupid and die all the time. And I tend to prefer playing by avoiding fast travel as it does make you think a bit more about expeditions and the like.
