[QUOTE=Lium;41230567]Some guy's trying to make Skyrim "child safe". By removing most of the features. You say Nexus ain't fulla whacked up weirdos? Explain this. [url]http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/37714/?[/url][/QUOTE] Like my compatriot poster Drasar, it'll be a joke mod. I hope.

So, thinking about getting dragonborn finally. Worth it? Does it invoke strong feelings of Morrowind? Is the playable area more interesting to explore then the regular skyrim world?

[QUOTE=Bloodshot12;41232731]So, thinking about getting dragonborn finally. Worth it? Does it invoke strong feelings of Morrowind? Is the playable area more interesting to explore then the regular skyrim world?[/QUOTE] I fucking hated Solstheim. YMMV, but I found it to be the epitomy of "Let's make an area which is cool, but then restrict players to only being able to take one route anywhere". I ended up having to fast travel everywhere because of it.

Has anyone gotten the glitch where after [sp]Kodlak[/sp](spoiler I guess even though the game's been out forever) dies, Aela goes fucking batshit insane and starts murdering everyone in Whiterun who isn't you or a champion? She even went and started slaughtering the battle-borns.

I've had Aela disappear off the face of the earth, everyone stare at me and do absolutely nothing for weeks after Kodlak was killed, Vilkas never returned from after a quest, the training section causing all the companions to aggro me... Companions questline is royally fucked up, and poking it with a mod that attempts to correct it makes it lose its shit even more.

Man, I wish nights were a bit darker. [t]http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/594755968081783749/74338CA9B4E83B34C8E0387701196380136662DF/[/t] I've made a terrible mistake.

Let it be marked that today, June 28th 2013, I finally finished the Main Quest of Skyrim after owning it for about a year and a half and played for approximately 250 hours. Rejoice.

I notice that "Schlongs of Skyrim" is voted the second most popular file of this month on the Nexus. Why.

is there anything out there that is more horror oriented like that Gates of Asgaard mod for Oblivion?

[QUOTE=The golden;41233616]Not even going to lie it wouldn't surprise me if one of these days the entire Nexus chain of sites is taken down. (Most likely by their payment authorizer refusing to take payments) due to how fucked up the content is becoming. With every new TES game the porn content just becomes more numerous.[/QUOTE] Why don't they just filter it out like steam does? Besides, wouldn't it be glorious if one day all the porn mod makers logged on to find all of their content removed, and the posting of it banable?

If so, I'll probably need to fix that one at some point.

I don't know what I was expecting when I bought "ABCs For Barbarians", but I still feel like that Bookseller in Balmora ripped me off. [sp]It only has A, B, and C.[/sp]

[QUOTE=Daemon White;41231734]Updated [url=http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/30450/?]Realistic Lighting Overhaul Weathers[/url]. Beta stage now.[/QUOTE] Whats changed? Also, any good ENBs that work with this? Mostly for the ENB effects like light shafts and IBL, rather than for ~filters~

[QUOTE=KorJax;41234197]Whats changed? Also, any good ENBs that work with this? Mostly for the ENB effects like light shafts and IBL, rather than for ~filters~[/QUOTE] Rain Density increased, I messed with ambient lighting for nights, I believe most of it was ambient light increases (If a bunch of people comment about the darkness, I'll brighten it up more), more weathers edited, cloud colours for daytime were changed a bit, ambient light changes for all main weathers (clear / partly cloudy), and possibly some smaller bits here and there I've forgotten about. As for an ENB, I have one that is strictly FX Only, unreleased so far.

I'd love it if you posted the ini in pastebin or something. I'm looking next time I go in and play to go with a vanilla skyrim look but use mods like realistic lighting instead of relying on the ENB to do it for me for a better, less performance intensive result. But yet i'd still love to have some of the effects that ENB does.

CoT has very little frame drops, correct?

If they absolutely had to, with the alternative being that the entire network shuts down entirely, they probably would, but unless that happens, they'll be as hands-off when it comes to what content there is as possible.

This made my night.

Just reinstalled skyrim finally, now time to customize my install with music from Daggerfall, Morrowind, and Oblivion! This one is definitely going in, my absolute favorite from oblivion: [video=youtube;vUik0WMhZHo]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vUik0WMhZHo[/video]

Is there a mod which makes these corresponding to actual controls? [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/wY5Njml.png[/IMG] I've remapped some keys so that they would be Oblivion-like and I keep pressing wrong buttons.

I hated that, reinstalled it and I still do - I used to use a mod that made them default to that no matter what last time I played. Anyone know of any really good armor and weapon mods? I'm looking at immersive armors right now and the skyforge weapons, though I might try using the requiem overhaul so I'm not sure if they'd work right. Also what about helmets? I loved closed face helmets, especially with horns, but on the nexus searching for that stuff is kinda hard and sifting through all the pages takes forever.

Some problems with mods that I think aren't called out nearly as often as they should be is a) the tendency of modders to make darker nights mods that are just pitch black and unplayable and b) the tendency to ramp up the difficulty in certain areas to mental levels paying no heed to any structure, ignoring the fact that as a freeform game the player can go anywhere at any time. Even Bethesda do this, such as with solstheim which was full of super powered enemies despite you being able to go there at any time
