So, I have "sort of" decided to return to modding scene after a short break, however I am facing difficulties on deciding what would be the first project I'd start.

I have the skill, (Some of the)time and patience to do these things, it's just that I can't decide where I would start.

 

Here's a short review of the things I am planning:

 

1. Fort Restoration Project

Most of the forts in Skyrim seem to suffer from damage that the civil war has caused to them, in all simplicity this addition would fix almost all of the walls of forts (minus the ones that are barricaded by certain quests, I don't want to break anything), and generally add some more "Castle-like" feel to those forts. (Flags, torches and such)

Quite simple, just takes some time to go through all forts and see if there's something "Fixable".

 

2. Racial Diversity

There's just some things that annoy me, one of those is that there's so few "uncommon" races around.

This could somewhat break immersion, but idea would be to replace some of the townsfolk with different race. Dialogue etc. would stay, only race would change. In addition to that I'd create some variants of current races. (example: really old looking elves)

 

3. Clutter Up Skyrim

Second mod I had already made, however my own stupidity when I was creating it kinda ruined it. I made the mod kind-of messy so it would have needed some tweaking before release. (It was working and all, but I should have added some line in the beginning of every new thing I created so it would have been easy to re-use the new stuff)

Anyhow, the idea was this: In old RPG's there's tons of clutter you can't steal, those only add ambience and nice, scenic views. Mod's purpose was to make many places look much more "stuffed"/Cluttered.

Easy work when done right, but takes just helluva time to go through all the interiors I want to adjust.

 

4. Spell pack

Okay, Skyrim used to be boring and the amount of spells was lame, nowadays there's tons of spell mods thus spell pack is not maybe the "best" option. Though, I still do have some unique thoughts I have not seen anyone else use. *giggles*
Ideas:

Ice armor, adds literal pieces of ice around your characters. Fancy.
Stomp, slam the ground around you, staggering all foes and dealing damage. (Possibly disarms as well?)
Tentacly- stuff. a lot of tentacle stuff.

 

5. Enemies Enhanced

Just new idea. I hate couple of things in Skyrim, and one of those is the lack of spells and abilities for enemies.

Surely, there's mods that give enemies perks and spells, but some won't work and others are just "limited".

What I'd plan is to make certain spell casters unique. For example, Marcurio would be powerful fire mage, and Brelyna Maryon could be Ice/illusion.

Also, couple of spell types that would be perfect around the world:

> Paralyze

> Invisibility

- Imagine hagraven that turns invisible and then closes in for melee kill. It's something that would just fit their nature.

So mostly this would be something I personally prefer and love, but in the other hand it'd be lore friendly. So no ash spells where those won't belong and so on.

Also, abilities for different races. Resistances, new diseases. Variety in creatures. Rat's could be real plaque carriers. (Just look at them, those things are like falling apart already)

 

 

Answer to poll, and throw in your ideas! This works as sort-of request as well. For example, if the 7. is the one I start working on, I need much more ideas for unique "artifacts".

I know self-bumps are not allowed.. But I guess it's better than making new topic on same matter?

So, my military service ends in couple of weeks, I don't feel like playing anything, but Instead I feel like making mods for Skyrim, thus, I am asking you fellow Nexus users what would you like to see?

It seems that I am missing one idea from this topic, which is now added.
Also, edited original post a bit more.

Make an armor piece based off the jarl clothing fur. A piece that is just the fur. Provide a few different color variants, make it free to use.

 

Make a longbow that looks like this or this. Provide a few different color variants, make it free to use.

 

Replace the Candlelight ball of light mesh with a Navi from Zelda mesh.

 

Retexture the mage robe texture so it's something fitting of a Conjurer. Give it a pinkish-purpleish color to match the summoning color. Make it free to use.

 

Thank you for your time.

The Fort Restoration is what I voted on, seems like a simple enough of a mod and something people would like to have, I remember Oblivion having a mod that restored the Forts around Cyrodiil and filled them with guards. Think it was called something like "ImpeReal Forts" or something along those lines.

These all are something I want to finish at some point. Currently at Gf's house so can't start doing what I want. *sigh*
Sadly, the poll seems "useless", due to the lack of answers.

Anyhow, I might start working on my personal favorite, "Unification patch", maybe a bit risky, as it changes alot of things and people might not like it, but still, it's my favorite. (http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/images/204379/?)

Just wondering, would people get mad at me if I really throw stuff around? Like, "new" spells as well and such?

Crossbows and new armors are absolute must, but DLC's also add new fancy spells, it'd be fun to give some of those spells for your allies/enemies.

I'll probably make up some fancy name for the series of my mods.
Maybe "Skyrim Restoration - DLC Integration", and so on.
:laugh:

That would be kind-of great, as then people could choose from what they want. Restored forts, more clothes around, fancy stuff and so on. Probably biggest and most complicated mod is the dlc integration patch.

Added new option, altered text slightly.

 

I'm trying to pull myself together and start modding (again), I just kinda lost my interest due to lack of any kind of support on this topic and on my Magical equipment mod.

 

I'm not sure if it's that my mods suck, or if it's because people can't see the "Quite open for requests" policy.

 

Anyhow. G'day.

@Darren

My modding skills are limited, when I look at that mod I just feel like complete piece of crap.

 

Anyhow, picking next stuff to work on, gonna start working on my magical equipment as well, but I want to work on something else when I am not working on the items.

 

Edit:

 

Integration patch maybe?

Only issue is that I can't really remember all the things what I was supposed to add with that..
