Hi Skyrim Modders,

I have gained permission from the moderators to post here so I hope I don’t take up too much of your time and thank you for letting me post. As part of a Ph.D. research study, we would like to invite individuals who are 18 or older, and who are active modders in either/both Stardew Valley or Skyrim to participate in an interview to understand your experiences of and motivations to mod. The interview will last between 45-60 minutes and will take place at a mutually agreed online format (either Discord, Skype, Zoom or another). You will receive a random Steam key for a random game as an appreciation for your participation. If you are interested in taking part in this study or if you have any questions, please email me at [email protected] or follow this link https://app.acuitysc...?owner=18891563. We can set up a meeting time online. You will be provided with further detail prior to participating to ensure your decision and consent to participate is fully informed.

Thank you so much!

Please Note: If you could share this with others who mod Skyrim or Stardew Valley who might be interested it would be appreciated.

Ethics Number: 1900001069

Easy we are all crazy! Even if you were normal to start with after a few weeks working with papyrus you will go a bit nuts ... :P

I was hoping for more nuanced statements through the interviews. I want to really know what you love about modding, what you are passionate about, what you are working on at the moment and if you feel you are facing challenges with using papyrus. Please consider doing this interview I would appreciate it :).
