Got a source on that? Not doubting you, I'd like to know more.

Besides the mentioned Serana mod, a Yennefer voice pack for DBVO was deleted / taken down (not sure which), a Fallout 4 mod that added more voiced player lines had the author remove them all(voluntarily according to their post), I saw mention of a Mass Effect mod for Jack (same VA as Fallout 4 Nora) was taken down. I don't have any links on hand besides this one for the Fallout 4 mod.

Saw the There Is No Umbra mod on the hot files and thought I would check it out because having a floating sword fight with me seemed like a cool idea. Was not expecting the sword to get horny and turn into a flesh and blood woman never change modders.

I found myself pot committed because I had installed the mod and then played for 10 hours before actually starting it and then was hours deep before I thought hmmm this is weird. So I ended up just pushing through because I didn’t want to roll back my save that far. The writing around the characters and romance is pretty bad but there is some interesting thoughts around the periphery about the player and their actions in Skyrim and their relationship with the world. Pretty basic bandits have feelings too stuff but I remembering finding some of it interesting.

Mechanically it had a lot of things I hated about player made quest mods. Trying to get too complicated with the story they are trying to tell when their programming of it doesn’t live up to their goals. Often incredibly vague instructions with a real lack of quest markers. Someone will tell you a location once in dialogue and it will not be marked down in your journal at all and no quest marker. Encounters relying on very specific events that easily break. Quest objectives you are not told you need to do but are mandatory. I had to reload a ton to get the mod to work these issues were almost all in chapter three which just came out. Chapter one and two was far more polished. I would have dropped it a long time ago without the author having a walkthrough with common issues listed along the way so I guess good on them for that. I will say riding on the sword like a hover board is cool.

Like when Morrowind gave you a quest there was no quest marker true but it had the journal that said where it was and what landmarks are nearby and how to get there.

meanwhile fallout 4 modding is people adding bespoke guns

It's crazy how barebones and basic Fallout 4 modding is. The tools just don't exist. Skyrim SE has so many addons that exist just to support further modding that open up so many possibilities and Fallout 4 has barely anything.


Back to Skyrim, anyone used https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/19924 "Complete Alchemy and Cooking Overhaul"? I started getting into survival gameplay using Sunhelm and Campfire(gently caress off for including an outdated PapyrusUtil SE DLL inside your mod what the gently caress were you thinking) and this looks pretty neat. I'm wondering if anyone has used it and if just nerfs alchemy into the ground or if it's less heavy handed. I kind of really want it because of a mod that goes with this mod to add coffee recipes. Looked on Nexus and saw a real lack of mods to let you use tobacco which is kind of shocking. It's even a canon plant it was in Oblivion.

Instead of caco consider using the simonrim alchemy mod. It has less compatibility hassles and doesn't try to change the alchemy tree outright but just rebalances alchemical reagents and even has a food module.

Yeah, but can I brew coffee with it?

The coffee has nothing to do with survival mode.

It makes very little sense that you have to do all four things every time but at least it's something you have a bit of control over (without doing something like a cheesy "fortify speechcraft and personality 100 points for one second" spell anyway)

I always appreciate the nsfw modders because they do sometimes push the general modding tech forward and do have a lot of talented people working on them. Sure this mod might give you bouncy tits or it could also give you a cloak billowing behind you.

I concur, the users are easily the worst part. Nexus has strangely not been completely enshittified and they occasionally do good things moderationwise by not letting bigotry creep in.

I'm just waiting for when they're going to stop honoring the lifelong premium I bought waaay back when.

I've had lifetime stuff that keep honoring the lifetime in name only and then introduce new premium tiers above that that sorry the lifetime doesn't apply to this. Hope Nexus never does this.

Calling it native ultrawide is being extremely generous. They added the ability to the launcher instead of needing to edit an ini. The UI is still stretched out unless you mod it with a Sky UI ultrawide patch.
