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

[doomkiwi]

Glad this shit with the mods is sorted, hard to believe that anyone thought taking shit from the community and then pricing it to sell right back would be a good idea. Also kinda hard to believe that they would OK any of that freeware mobile tactics crap.

[QUOTE=eatdembeanz;47615840]What mod loader does everyone use for [B]Oblivion[/B]? I've been using OBMM out of sheer apathy, though I hear BOSS and Wrye Bash are also good.[/QUOTE]

I use a mix of OBMM and Wrye Bash. OBMM for the few OMOD only mods, Wrye for the rest, and BOSS to manage the load order.

Well there's still the matter of all the joke and protest mods clogging the workshop.

Alright I fucking give up. I've got Brhuce Hammar installed and he gave me the [sp]alien waifu[/sp] quest and I have [b]no fucking idea[/b] where I'm supposed to be going. I need someone to put an X on the Skyrim map for me.

"The area around Whiterun" doesn't tell me jack shit. I think Trainwiz expected me to have played through some of the shitty mods he's parodying but since I don't install stupid shit I don't have this knowledge.

i'll be honest, if I don't get an answer soon I'm just going to open the ESP in the Creation Kit, find the RefID, and player.moveto

i'd just rather not have to go through all that just because the mod expected me to have played bad mods

If I recall correctly, it's a short walk from the Whiterun stables in the direction of Whiterun's guard tower, where you fight your first dragon. It's just the big open field area.

[Ganerumo]

I've been trying to use Real Shelter for quite some time now but I can't get the patcher to work. It gives me an access violation error every time and says "editing is disabled".

I'm not sure what causes it but it's definitely on Tes5edit's side. It just doesn't want to access files and runs into an address violation every time.

And ever since I tried to run it, Skyrim has stopped working entirely and I get stuck on the loading screen. Welp.

[QUOTE=Daemon White;47614494]So... is Valve still evil or is that Bethesda? Or are both currently cleared but on probation?[/QUOTE]

Bethesda's been amoral as fuck for years.

[QUOTE=Daemon White;47614494]So... is Valve still evil or is that Bethesda? Or are both currently cleared but on probation?[/QUOTE]

Valve was never evil to begin with, they wanted to give something new to the community but the fact of the matter is monetizing Skyrim mods won't work the way they implemented it, but they did not know that.

If they wanted to start putting money into Skyrim modding, Bethesda should be the ones to pay modders, essentially buying out popular and/or promising work and working with the creator to make a paid version. Basically Bethesda would invest in a modder and provide support to make the mod better in some way and do things that are otherwise not possible to do due to modding limitations. Havok Tools support would be a good example, or some degree of code access to make new weapon types possible like what they did with Crossbows in Dawnguard.

I would absolutely pay for a Bethesda sanctioned Spear mod. There's a huge number of things that could benefit from official support, even if Bethesda is unwilling or unable to give it to everyone.

[QUOTE=Pvt. Martin;47615768]Also, are there any mods that change how the arrows look? I'm downloading the Real Bows mod, but I want some interesting looking arrows to match with those bows. Not new bows, just model changes.[/QUOTE]

I'm probably going to make some arrows this weekend, I'm gonna be busy with animation for most of this week.

[QUOTE=VincentVanGoat;47615711]Dunno if it does but I found a mod that might help out.

Thank fuck.

[Ganerumo]

Anybody got info on why Tes5Edit would have address violation errors ? It's really irritating because I really wanted to try Real Shelter.

[editline]28th April 2015[/editline]

Also, for some reason, whiterun has become inaccessible in its entirety. Game CTDs the instant I try to enter it from any possible angle.

Don't know what causes it, I didn't install any additional mods. I really hope it's not TES5edit that fucked me over. Even running vanilla causes CTD.

Wasn't the next update of SkyUI supposed to be behind a paywall ?

I wonder what is his next plan, now that the paywall doesn't exist anymore.

either he'll return to releasing them for free

or

he'll still try to get money out of it and someone will just upload it on a mirror link

[DIOBRANDO]

I just think he wont even bother doing it, money was the only reason he came back.

Requesting a mod that allows you to ask for directions and have npcs point towards the quest marker.

Are all the Imperial camps supposed to vanish upon completion of the civil war? (I sided with the Imps.)

[El Fonz0]

How would you guys feel if they add in more races to play as in future games, and are there any in particular you would or wouldn't like to see?

At least a few of the other Khajiit races, pls. I want to play as a ginormous cat-man.
Also ESO introduced nagas as a race that may or may not be a breed of Argonians, though I'm not sure if you see them ingame. Not sure what one would ever be doing outside of Black Marsh, but damnit I want to play as a snake-carp-man too.

I'm loving all the drama, it's great.

[El Fonz0]

Similar to my question on the previous page, what old or new weapon types would you like to see in future games?

I'd like to see spears and other assorted polearms return, and I'd like to see hand to hand weapons, like in Fallout.

[Durrsly]

I'd like all the ranged weapons from Morrowind to return as well as hand-to-hand weapons.

Let's see some Nexus stuff:

Is there a mod that will let me do the Civil War without starting the main quest?

Is there a mod that allows easier forced leveling up instead of messing with the console for an hour and a half?
