I do not claim to be a modding expert. I have been learning over the past 3 months that I have been interested, and eventually I got nexus. There always seemed to be an issue with certain mods, and a message unable to properly install, or something like that. With mods like the unofficial legendary edition mod for example, but this isint the direct issue I need resolution with. Recently an upgrade to Nexus came out, and I, after a few days, decided to get it. What happened? Most of my mods would not carry over, and now I cannot get them on Nexus at all. Every time I try, I get an incomplete message. So basically I cannot play at all anymore until I get answers, and I don't know how to resolve this issue. I don't know where something went wrong so if anyone does know, I would greatly appreciate some help on this matter. Thank you in advance if anyone can help me. I add to this message by saying that when I load Nexus it brings up a list of mods, and at the top of the page it says, it could not load the following mods. Though it doesn't say why.

You know I always wanted to see something that probley has nothing to do with your intentions for this overhaul, but I am going to put down my ideas anyways. Even as I type this I don't know excatly what I want to say, but here goes. I always liked the idea of having corrupt rulers in skyrim that would impose ridiculous rules, and regulations on the people. Or perhaps the idea that one could get on the bad side of a Jarl, or another of powerful influence that could make the players life miserable for crossing them. You could end up in jail for doing nothing wrong. They would look for any reason to arrest the player, and if they couldn't find one then they could do something to incriminate the player. Like reverse pickpocketing to plant drugs on the player, or planting them in the players home, and then getting a search warrant to search their home for evidence. Just because they enforce the laws doesn't mean that they obey them, but hey why would they want to be found out for their misdeeds. Why oh why when its so easy to point the blame at another, mainly you. Just an idea that came to my mind, if your interested. The idea could extend to corrupt guards as well, and could put the dovahkiin against the authority figures....

You could always set it so there is mandatory jobs that you have to do, or be punished severely for refusing of course, and then add in extra jobs to go along with your idea. Then again, an expanded idea is that if you earn favor with the guards, you wont have to do the mandatory jobs anymore, therefor angering the other inmates who have to pick up the slack for what you no longer have to do. Perhaps one of your new jobs, to earn favor, is to keep the other inmates in line. Basically, you order them around, and make sure they do the work. I also had another idea though, involving skooma. Because it is so addicting, say that once you do it the one time, your body reacts to it, and you almost cant live without it. There could be a lot of potential with being a skooma addict. The player could suffer many negative consequences that can only be offset by the further use of skooma. That would be made even more interesting if the players condition worsened the more they take it, that their temporary cure will be no more. The player could become paranoid for example that everyone is out to get them, and so their reality shifts into madness. Interestingly enough, they could channel the daedric prince of madness while on skooma in their interactions, for one possibility. Or they could surcome to complete paranoia that everyone is out to get them, and so the character would give him/herself to very irrational behavior, and potentially even come to see hallucinations to go along with their madness. An idea along those lines hits me. At this point, the only thing keeping the player alive, is the skooma, but as they continue to take it, their condition continues to worsen. That's not to say that there isint a cure, but what if the cure was a closley guarded secret that is not obtainable by the dragonborn, or the public at all. They will only cure you of your addition once you have been arrested.

As for the markarth reference.... I personally always saw the silverblood family as prideful anyways. That remark could just be written off as them thinking their better than all the other prisons around the world. There could be a small storyline added to that as a sort of competition where the prisoner suffers a great deal more at markarth because their prime motive would be to break the prisoners spirits with demands that cant be fulfilled, and severe punishments for falling short. Also I had a second idea (small idea) but I want to say all the same. What if you removed the option to use the bed, or to pass time by while in Jail. One thing that bothers me about skyrim prison is that you can simply pass the time by to speed along the process, but in the new system, you would only be able to rest to pass time by if the guard allows it, and only to the duration that the guard allows. Just a couple ideas I wanted to throw out there. ..... Or, you could keep the sleep ability, but if you attempted to, and they didn't allow it, you buy yourself additional prison time, and more punishments.

You know, a thought just occurred to me. In the main quest line the character goes to sovengard, so he has already walked among the dead. What if execution didn't have to be the end? What if the character were sent to sovengard, and maybe there he would go on a quest to return to the land of the living?

I personally love the ideas!

Matter of curiosity. Have you considered making the actual arrest when you commit a crime more realistic than the original system?

As I have been reading all of your posts, and reply's to others concerns as well as suggestions, I personally love the idea, and cannot wait to see it reach completion. I also feel like the original system didn't make much sense at all. Why have a system for crime, and punishment when all you do is activate the bed, and everyone forgets all about it. So boring, and unrealistic. It will give a nice angle to the game, and add in some nice new challenges!
