The Elder Scrolls Megathread XVII: Paid Mods? Not in My Community. - Games

So for Forgotten City to get into the abandoned palace you get on these coffins.. and then what from here? Can't jump on light because of collisions. [t]http://i.imgur.com/dzZGxiX.jpg[/t]

[QUOTE=cdr248;48969971]I can never get into quest mods I have very unrealistic standards for quest mods because any visual inconsistencies or shitty voice acting (or some dumb design decision that modders are notoriously known for) instantly take me out and it begins to feel like a chore to experience rather than a part of the game.[/QUOTE] but all those are in the base game too, i'm confused

[t]http://i.imgur.com/dzZGxiX.jpg[/t][/QUOTE] You do have to jump on the light. Not sure what the problem is, I only missed like once :v:

I've always used RND so I could play Fat Drunk Nord Simulator but since I've done a total reinstall I'm trying to decide on new mods

They both fuck saves, ineed is more compatible with other mods.

[QUOTE=lavacano;48970068]but all those are in the base game too, i'm confused[/QUOTE] mods don't have the certain kind of bad that the base game has

[t]http://i.imgur.com/dzZGxiX.jpg[/t][/QUOTE] It's kind of tricky because yeah, the collision's bad, but it should be possible with a bit of luck [sp]otherwise just tcl over like a scrub[/sp] Also, does anyone have the link to that mod which would let you turn your main character into an NPC for later playthroughs? It was something with a "hall of honor" with little alcoves for your characters and artifacts for the quests you completed [editline]aaa[/editline] nvm, found it: [url=http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/54509/?]Familiar Faces[/url] Anyone who played with this noticed any major bugs?

Works pretty well, though it's a bit fucky with how it actually spawns the NPCs onto the world. Once you save the data, you're better off looking up their name on console and then spawning them from there.

[QUOTE=Marbledemon;48971842] nvm, found it: [url=http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/54509/?]Familiar Faces[/url] Anyone who played with this noticed any major bugs?[/QUOTE] Its kinda finicky to use. The character saving progress can take a really long time depending on what mods you have installed and sometimes your spawned characters will just disappear when you change their settings. I've also had my old Dark Elf and Nord characters swap faces and armors before. Just imagine a man with the body and armor of a drunken-ass Nord but with the face of an always slightly pissed Dark Elf and vice versa. [editline]24th October 2015[/editline] Other than that its a really cool mod.

Worth trying out just for the novelty.

I could never get it to work right. My npc character would always end up in this pose and be stuck that way forever. [t]http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/705151691787236942/4DC2814E779FE96E6B59917649818CD42378FDF2/[/t]

Any good combat mods and mods that make leveling and the like more realistic? Also any mods which make stuff like cooking, fishing/hunting, and blacksmithing a bit more interactive/fun?

[QUOTE=JoeSkylynx;48984265]Any good combat mods and mods that make leveling and the like more realistic?

[QUOTE=JoeSkylynx;48984265]Any good combat mods and mods that make leveling and the like more realistic?[/QUOTE] The combo of Ultimate Combat and Combat Evolved seems pretty good.

On the Nexus front page is a HD mod for Meeko [t]http://static-8.nexusmods.com/15/mods/110/images/70779-9-1445491318.jpg[/t] [t]http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120207195605/elderscrolls/images/4/42/Meeko.jpg[/t] Nailed it. It looks just like him. Ironically it's called "True Meeko"

tbh I don't mind the many mods that change one of the vanilla dogs to a different breed or make them look very different; it was kind of odd to have all these dog companions but they're all identical. Though I do think that model would fit Vigilance better, and the mod's name is pretty misleading but the same can be said about most mods. also this is only tangentially related but I think it's cool that ESO gave us a name for the breed of dog in Skyrim; [URL="http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Online:Pets"]they're either Whiterun Wolfhounds or Windhelm Wolfhounds[/URL]. They introduced a lot of other breeds of dogs too; I hope some of the other pet animals introduced appear in the next singleplayer game. NPC pets are cool. EDIT: Actually the mod's name is fitting, sorta. It's just a modification of True Dogs of Skyrim to have the dog replacer from that replace only Meeko instead of all dogs; thus, True Meeko. Not sure there's really a point to the mod in that case though, since the dog model and texture from True Dogs of Skyrim is taken from a custom companion that's an optional in True Wolves of Skyrim.

Perfect example. At least he doesn't use the words better or improved though. [url]http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/30520/[/url]

my camera glitched out and got completely stuck in this position [t]http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/640994505193370750/53CD920DBA3EB92D0F95A5C59EF539DA283686C7/[/t] it's like i'm playing some sort of oldschool isometric game (that needs to be a mod)

[QUOTE=Mr.Moustachio;48968689]ESOs on sale for $20, wonder if its worth it.[/QUOTE] For $20, Yes. It's nothing like Beta now. And the mods you can have. Proper quest tracker, Mini map, Map icons, Even Quality of Life options, you can take that detrimental minimalist UI shit and morph it into something useful for an MMO

Saw HDT hair mod, doesn't work for males since MAH LORE, but then has shit like [IMG]http://vgy.me/ONH3u5.png[/IMG] which doesn't fit anything.

iirc at least some of those hair mods are using models ported from Sims 3 mods :v: (this may actually be the few hair mods out there for fallout i'm thinking of) There's only seems to be one decent hair mod out there, excluding Beards and Dread Tentacles which don't really count. It uses models ported from Witcher 2 or something, so they look acceptable. edit: reminded me of this [video=youtube;ypsOnDhu7pg]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypsOnDhu7pg[/video] HDT can be useful but it won't work well for hair

[QUOTE=Intoxicated Spy;48989671]photograph.[/QUOTE] There's one somewhere in there that's pretty much strictly a ponytail. It looks pretty good IMO.

Pictured here is a rare occasion where a mod companion sings and you can tell them it sucks and they don't guilt trip you [t]http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/640994505193842069/0414FD91217078C80C81EFE10E434D7F2516A4E8/[/t] impressive
