Farewell my friend
The blog exists since november 2016. This experience has been very enjoyable and constructive for me. I have devoted a lot of effort, love and passion into this personal place and this blog makes me incredibly proud. Yes, i am.
The goal was always to create a unique presentation, quality images, writtings (less quality😅), a feeling. Skyrim deserves that isn't it? Because mods are an experience too, my goal was to share this experience.
I built this place piece by piece, page by page, image by image and the result is what you got here since several years. On a side note, I believe that I made an enjoyable place even though I use Blogger as a plateform...a bit oldish isn't it? But the most important is the wine...and not the bottle😊
I hope you liked the frequent uploads (almost daily), the effort on the image resolution and the attention to details.
Unfortunatly, this becomes simply too much work for me, too much time as well.
Trying to reach a good balance between uploads, decent presentation and writtings is more and more difficult for me. This is also the core of the blog.
If I cannot run the blog as I wish, there is simply no reason to continue.
According to the frequentation of the blog, you like this way of proceeding but I simply cannot bring you this content anymore.
I refuse to decrease the quality and the quantity.
So, the blog stops right there.
No worry, my friend! Conversions continue!!! You'll find all the content you like and your favorite modders on all websites and social medias you already know: Nexus, Loverslab, Facebook, Tumblr, blogs, Twitter, Flickr, etc, etc, etc..... A lot of peoples are doing showcases!
I would like to thank all visitors who came here.
About my english writtings, I really tried to do my best😄, with my own knowledge and without Google traduction. I really like this language...it's smooth and delicate. Really like it. I'm going to improve it in the future.
A special thanks to all peoples who have commented since several years. These comments always helped me to have motivation, to continue and to bring more and more content. Thumb up!
A very very special thanks to David who gave a generous donation to the blog. With this money, I was able to buy storage for my (heavy) images. So, it was just essential and it allows the blog to be alive these last month. I also used some coins to buy a slightly better mouse. Thanks a million!
Last thanks will be of course for peoples on websites who shared generously and frequently the address of the blog and helped the blog to grow:
LoversLab members, Eiheispot, 4Chan "TES General" members, Skooma.com, Nexus members, Furb's Adventures and Syls Amusements.
Well, as a conclusion, thank you for your presence and for the fidelity all over the years. You definitly helped me to live this unique experience. The blog will be delete in 1 week. The time for you to download what you want.
Thank you
Marmotte
Bonne continuation, Enfant Des Dragons !
ReplyDeleteTaking a break before Elder Scrolls VI? Either way, you are a legend that will be remembered by many including me. Enjoy your long cup of tea on the beach.
ReplyDeleteSo sad you are going! But many thanks for all your work, it has been very much appreciated. All the best for the future!
ReplyDeleteThansk Marmotte for your wonderful blog, I'll miss it, it is still the best for at least a week!
ReplyDeleteTake care my friend. Drop a line every now and then.
ReplyDeleteWill defiantly miss seeing Idye.

ReplyDeleteFirst of all let me thank you for your incredible work you did with this blog!
For the last year I came here almost daily and enjoyed the content you presented here. I think I already visited this website three times already this weekend to look for an interesting outfit for one of my story entries.
Based on my own blog I have an idea of how many hours you put into this blog every week. I understand that this can sometimes feel like a burden because you want to keep up the content, not necessary for the sake of the audience, but for the sake of continuation and for your self.
This is especially true in times when other things in life matter more and there is simply no time and energy for such a time consuming hobby like this.
But I don't see a reason why you can't just leave the blog for a while, or forever.
If the lack of time (and motivation?) is really the only problem there is no reason to delete the blog.
You'll be able go back to this blog regularly and have a proud look at all the work you've done in the past years, even if you don't want to continue.
Even if you still have all the screenshots stored on your computer, seeing them published and nicely presented is something completely different.
And how sure can you really be that you don't feel a tickle in your screenshoting hands when a new really exciting outfit is realeased by some modder?
You never know.
Don't do something you'll regret later and delete something you have "devoted a lot of effort, love and passion into this personal place" as you write yourself. I know the decision is more final this way, but in my opinion you're not doing anyone (including yourself) a favor with this.
Judging by your high quality standards you're a very ambitious person and demand a lot of yourself, this is probably the reason why you don't want to decrease the amount of content to post on your blog.
But maybe some time in the future you find that one or two entries a week are perfectly fine and the blog doesn't feel like a burden and but more like an enjoyable hobby that you do when you have time for it.
Don't take the option away from you by deleting it now.
There was probably something you enjoyed when you started this blog in the first place and kept it running over the years.
Nonetheless, thanks for all your effort and the work you've done over the last years.
I wish you all the very best for the future.

Hi sad to see you go to..Marmotte i love youre blog and beautifull screenshots.. and i have to agree with Alter Native..
DeleteBut Thanx for all the yearsa of providing all the content and all the work you put into it!
Wish you the best!!
Thanks for all you work!
ReplyDeleteHi there Marmotte. This blog kept Skyrim alive for me. I used your retexture articles and that worked out excellent.
ReplyDeleteI even started to use bodyslide.. But above all you strike me as being a friendly person. A quality I like above all other. Hope to 'hear' from you again somewhere somehow. Take care. Au revoir!
Greetings from the Lowlands,
Bits01
Marmotte, your blog was imo the best showcase of armors for Skyrim. The style, presentation, and your attitude always made the posts enjoyable to see, and your links were always the best you can find, always reliable quality.
ReplyDeleteHopefully this isn't a goodbye, but more of a, "see you down the road friends". Maybe for ES6 you will find a team of people to help you who are able to present quality like you have, then maybe you will not be burnt out or have so much pressure to present content at such a rapid pace.
Keep enjoying games! Maybe the next game with a modding scene that pulls you in will get you back into creating excellent content like you have here, but hopefully at a relaxing cadence that does not wear you down.
Take care!
I am sorry and I'll be missing you, Marmotte. I did enjoy all your little articles and tips, and got many, many nice outfits for my ladies.
ReplyDeleteMy screenshots got a lot better with your help!
I would also say, do not delete your lovely work, at the very least, preserve it for yourself. You might not know it, but you are a true artist and you would be heartbroken, I think, to lose some of the things you made here.
It's always been great with the excitement to see what your next post was going to be as the site bounced up. Definitely one of the sites I visited often, if not daily. I wih you nothing but joy in whatever direction life takes you. Your efforts have made a big impact on my skyrim gaming, along with many others. All the best Marmotte!!! Thank you for all you've done and contributed. We all owe you.
ReplyDeleteMarmotte without your hard work and Diana my skyrim adventures just would not be the same. I thank you for all that you have done and wish you the best for the future.
ReplyDeleteNever commented but thank you for all the time you've put into this blog. A lot of mods I've found have been through you. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteSorry to see you go and delete. I very much enjoyed and looked forward to seeing what Diana would be showcasing. As you know, Diana caught my attention early, as you and I both have the same taste in women. Good luck my friend, hopefully we will meet again for TES6.
ReplyDelete안되~! 가지마세요~ 나는 매일 마모트 당신의 스크린샷을 보는 즐거움에 시간을 보내왔습니다
ReplyDelete좋아하는 친구를 잃은것같은 슬픔이 전해진다
ReplyDeleteA site for patricians, top level presentation and talented BS work from the many mods showcased here. I wish you the best of luck brother!
ReplyDeleteThank you for all your hard work; I will greatly miss your blog
ReplyDeleteThank you for everything Marmotte, your dedication and effort for this blog are admirable.
ReplyDeleteI found so many outfits in this site so I really can't thank you enough for giving me the change to know them :)
Good luck and take care!
You've done a great job! You will be remembered, friend !
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing all of this work with us over the years. It is appreciated. And best of luck in your future endeavors!
ReplyDeleteI'm really sad to see this. Thank you for your great work.
ReplyDeleteWe will miss you.
Good luck for your upcoming journey.
And take care friend..
Thank you for all your hard work. It is always much appreciated. You will be missed.
ReplyDeleteGoodnight Sweet Prince.
ReplyDeleteI'm quite sad to hear that the blog will disappear, I have found many obscure outfits here, that I never would have known existed if not for this site, I would urge you to preserve it as others have, as it seems silly to destroy such a lengthy period of creativity, but that is your decision to make, I hope you will reconsider.
ReplyDeleteWishyWooshing you the best, and farewell.

ReplyDeleteMamotte-sama, I understand your choice to stop the blog, but, unless you have costs related to the web hosting of its contents, please do not delete the blog. Leave it as a beautiful memory of what you did with joy and fun, as a source of information on skyrim for those who have not yet seen it, as an example for those who want to make one. Nothing is really finished until someone keeps the memory of it. The period of Skyrim will pass, but your reflections in the articles, the beauty of the images, the thoughts of the comments, they will remain as long as possible for us that we have loved them, and for those who still must know them. Just as love, our thoughts, when we share them, are no longer ours alone, but of all those who have shared them with us. After all, it's a fantasy game, and fantasy never dies. It is not necessary to cancel something just because you can not carry it on. And then, is not it "dowell" and that's it? Not even an image? A poignant scenario. a memorial moment, a group of beautiful sexy heroines in elegant dresses seen from behind watching a wonderful sunrise (and not a sunset)? I wish you to live other wonderful adventures (true and fantasy), and that love and joy are always beside you.
As always, remember, adventurer, the choice is yours.
<3 <3 <3 With love, a lonely wanderer. <3 <3 <3
Adieu ? Non, au revoir. ;)
*typo* And then, this is not your style. Not even an image? A poignant scenery, a memorial, a group of beautiful sexy heroines ...
DeleteOh man, this are really sad news !
ReplyDeleteI can not thank you enough for the amount of information and entertainment that I, like all the visitors of this blog, have recieved and enjoyed. I can only imagine the time and effort you have put in this blog to achieve the quality and perfection that we all love. As far as I can tell, not even the creators of many of the outfits that have been showcased here, have the vision to create the kind of content that you have produce on a daily basis. Compare to the meaningless and low effort/quality pictures, every one of the posts of this blog is full of storytelling, creativity and sexyness.
Like others have already said, I think the deletion of the blog is a bit excessive. Maybe you don't want to keep the links updated and dont have the intention to track the files in case some of them get deleted as well ... Sadly, seems like you have make up your mind in this matter and there is no way around.
Please, be sure to know that you will always be remembered and praised like a true artist, and a helpful blogger eager to attend any questions and suggestions.
Bye now, take good care and good luck
(Ps. think I'm gonna cry)
I ask a favor of you, leave the blog up. Even if you don't update it anymore. Just please leave the blog up. This blog is very important to many Skyrim modders and i hate to see something that so many people enjoy and love be taken away.
ReplyDeleteadios friend
ReplyDeleteThanks for all of your work Marmotte, you site has been one of my favorites for quite some time and I really appreciate all of the time and effort you have put into maintaining the site in your own unique and stylish way.
ReplyDeleteI will miss coming here to see what you have done as I have many times in the past, wish you the best for what you do next but until we get another skyrim to obsess over it won't be the same.
Thank you so much for all the hard work, your blog is a joy to browse through. Hopefully you pop back in now and again.
ReplyDeleteI found your Blog like... well yesterday. And I sat here for 4 hours straight browsing through the images, entries and downloading lots and lots of outfits/armors. Let me tell you that even amongst all the modding websites, Blogs, tumblr accounts etc - your place here is one of the most enjoyable and unique I have ever seen in this regard. Please don't delete it, it's a magnificent piece of art that imo is beyond all else concerning the quality. Please let me admire this Blog once in a while, who knows maybe you will have more time in the future and start posting again. Nevertheless I wish you the best of luck and hopefully we'll see each other soon.
ReplyDeleteJoris
Please keep the blog!! :)
ReplyDeletePlease keep the blog up. Little update or no update is fine. It's an awesome blog and it'll be very sad to see it go away....... :(
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your dedication and hard work on this site. Please leave it up as it is very useful even if you are no longer updating. There are so many articles I come back and reference from time to time.

ReplyDeleteI hope you will keep the blog up.
ReplyDeleteWe thank you all for your great work and it would be sad to see all your work just vanish
Is blogspot not a free service, why shut down your blog if it's free? Removing all this without releasing a listing/index of the showcased mods and where to download them is a huge disservice to anyone who has ever visited.
ReplyDeleteWtf, no! One of the best blogs about TES 5 mods and you decided to shut it down with no reason? Why dont you just keep this blog alive because there are many of your followers, which loves what you doing?
ReplyDeleteMUCHAS GRACIAS!!!!!!!!!!! MARMOTTE HOPE YOU GET WHATEVER YOU WANT :D THANKS FOR ALL YOUR EFFORT, THIS WAS AN AMAZING BLOG!!!!!!!!!!!! dude you make us come to blogger to check every week xD

I'm glad you change your mind and decided to keep this blog up :) .
ReplyDeleteThanks for that!
LONG LIVE THE BLOG! cheers and thank you Marmotte for breathing new life into the game.
ReplyDeleteОчень сложно выразить мои чувства на английском, поэтому напишу на родном. Мне жаль, что ты решил больше не развивать блог, но я рада, что ты передумал его удалять. Благодаря твоим советам мой Скайрим стал намного красивее. Спасибо тебе за это.
ReplyDeleteThis is sad, I just discovered this blog
ReplyDeleteanyways, farewell my friend and see you next time
Thank you for wonderful showcases, farewell!
ReplyDeleteThank you
ReplyDeleteWell I just discovered this blog, spent two days reading and taking notes and downloading some files. The picture quality is fantastic ( captivating really), loved the hint sections wish there was more, had questions about SSS in ENBs.... and I read the goodbye (ughh). But I understand, work of this quality comes at a price. Thank you for all the effort and I'm glad to take away some hints and few pieces of armor.
ReplyDeleteI am a little late, busy month... But i want to register here my thanks for your amazing work, because of your blog i go back to skyrim many times. Thanks!
