📋 About This Mod

Meet Miranda at night and discover her story.

Immerse yourself in this simple romance quest involving a girl working at The Rift's Rest (mod not needed, but highly recommended).

On Mondays and Thursdays, Miranda camps on the south shore of Lake Honrich from Midnight until 5 A. M.

Discover her story and see where it leads.

The Quest has two different endings based on your choices.

Sex Frameworks of choice are supported but not needed eventually.

Miranda is fully voiced.

The quest is best played without a follower

Miranda can be a follower at the end of the quests.

INSTALLATION

SKSE (mandatory)

The Rift's Rest (optional but highly recommended as the story of Miranda is related)

BTPS Better third Person Selection (optional but probably needed as I use an hack for a cinematic camera and this mod helps a lot in interactions)

SexLab, Ostim and FlowerGirls frameworks are supported via optional plugins (install only one)

Make a backup save before starting the mod, just in case,  to replay the quest if you want to check different endings.

SPOILER ALERT WARNING

I recommend you to play the quest as is first, come back to read this if you have troubles

Where is Miranda?

Where is the choice for the two endings?

Where is the stuff I need to search at some point?

I didn't mark the clues for you to have some fun searching and swearing..the clue is in a little island, follow the lake shore going south, near the slaughter fish eggs, on a rock
