What about game devs that use cultural icons in their games. Should I politely ask Beth to redo Fallout 4 because I live in Boston and don't like the way it is depicted in their game? Or maybe because I am an American, it is enough for me to claim that I don't like the portrayal of the Minute Men in their game and ask them to use something else? Do you see where this leads?

Cultural icons are used in mods some times and are enjoyed by the people who download and use it like an american Indian headdress, or a certain kind of tattoo, or Viking axe, or a Spanish bull fighter, etc. However, some groups of people may decide that the use of what they consider is "their" cultural icons is offensive to them and ask or demand that the mod author remove it from their mod. Should the mod author comply? Should mod authors- and artists for that matter- be allowed to use what could be considered cultural icons at all so as not to offend anyone? And who would decide what is a cultural icon or not?

I know, I know. I spent several more posts trying to explain why and how patches between mods are made and merging mods. He was just being obtuse and I stopped.

Oh man, I LOVE IT when another "experienced modder" comes along and tries to make my advice to a new Skyrim modder look stupid by saying things like "I don't know why he is saying to use a merged or bashed patch? My game has always run fine without them!" !!! Yeah jackass, that's true if you're only running a handful of mods. For most other people that run more, those patches are essential to having a more stable game!!!! Not to mention all the things that you can edit with X-edit.

Love what you guys are doing! Maybe by the next installment in the series, CC will stop screwing things up for SSE and the script extender.

The first time I opened the CK to try and do something for Skyrim, I was lost. I didn't understand the layout or where to find the files I needed or anything. So, I looked up tutorials on how to do some things. Tried doing some things and made a lot of mistakes. Felt really good when something I did or made (kinda) worked later. Most people are respectful of authors. There are those few, though, that come along and because they know how (or think they know how) to do a few things- they start telling other users and mod authors how they should "fix" their game/mod and stuff. Like I said, doesn't happen often (especially now that everyone can be blocked access and their obnoxious post hidden). But, man when it does happen........I feel like Ralph- "POW!! To the moon, Alice!!" Modding to me, is about constantly learning something new. The more that I learn- the more I understand how much I don't know and maybe never will. :geek:

I agree- whether the mod works well or not. You reward the effort.

I made a "mod" vs "I read about making a mod for a minute and it ain't that difficult!"- what you would like to tell them.

Maybe take a look at Colorful Magic and see how the author handled magic effects- they came up with some that seem very similar to what you are describing. Not really sure other than that.

I like that mod, but, it is very "buggy" for me. Check the bug section for it and the list goes on and on. My advice would be to try and get what you want out of it this play-through and then take it out of your mod list when you start another new game.

Nice!! I use ZZjay's mods for FNV and love them. So glad she is still making content.:)

Yeah, people keep telling me to start a Youtube channel, but I have no idea what that would be about. Maybe I could get permission and feature mods or something- I would call it my mod spotlight and feature mods that are good, but, didn't get that many downloads for whatever reasons.

I'm currently looking for another job and am seeking something like data entry and customer service or anything that let's me work from my home really. This is new to me as the type of work I usually do is not at home and not really with computers. From what I have seen, there are many online jobs to choose from, offered by many different companies. My question is what should I look out for when choosing to work for a company online? Are some of them scams? One that I applied for this morning requires me to download and use their AV software- but, I already have AVG. I'm just looking to make some money without getting tricked is all. Is there a website that reviews online jobs perhaps? Any advice would be appreciated.

From what I have read in a few places, transferring your files and data from one drive to another is not that difficult and if both use the same OS you should be golden except for some tweaking and cleaning. But I can't say that with any certainty since I haven't had to do it yet. Like many ppl here, I have modded my games extensively and don't want to start all over again because I would lose so much.

Find and use TESVEdit and Wryebash to make needed patches for your long load order. TESVEdit is your friend and will help you track down and patch many problems. Bad scripting or just too many scripts in your game will cause your game to implode after so much time and corrupt your saves. It's a pain in the ass to track down because of this. Try Crashfixes to help solve your save corruption problem. Other than that pay close attention to user comments and bug reports on mods so you can better know what to avoid in the future.

That's a lack of patience and initiative for ya. God, if I could count how many times I had to dig to find answers or just figure things out for myself. :dry:

Seriously, why can't they just do both? I prefer 3rd person myself- I like to see the animations of my char doing stuff and how they look in clothing/armor while doing it.

Lots of people complain about Win10 and I do agree with some of it. Still, I don't seem to run into the problems that they talk about which makes me think they just are blaming Win10 because its simpler than tracking down and fixing the actual problem with their game/mods. :happy:

It would be a very uplifting event for all humanity- to finally live somewhere besides Earth. I mean it is the "final frontier" and I feel like I missed my calling as an explorer. "Steady as she goes Mr. Scott!" :cool:

I said typically most people don't know that much about every profession related to building. I would love to take you to a construction site and test your knowledge, Sweety. You don't know nearly what you think you do. :happy: You've come just short of calling me an idiot and I don't appreciate that one bit. This is a freakin thread about a bunch of what ifs and maybes about a game- as in NOT SERIOUS!! So back off there champ and save all that hot air for something that matters. :thumbsup:

I noticed this is always running in the background for me and wanted to find out more. Makes me wonder how many other things are running in the background that I don't need and are slowing me down.

I think a colony on the moon is possible in the next 10 yrs or so. Mars will probably take a helluva lot more money and I'm not sure who would want to finance that venture.

Super Mutant fire fighters- "GWAAAaaah! Gotta be some stupid HUMAN that started this fire!" Ghoul kids that are eternally trick or treating that like to prank "smooth skins" and throw rotten tomatoes at them when they don't get any candy..... Maybe an Elmer Fudd Super Mutie that hunts "wabbits"(any small furry wasteland critter would do)? A "Men at Work" Synth construction crew that sit around eating lunch all day and like to sing "Who Can it be Now?"..... I would have spoofed so many things in this game it is not even funny. Beth didn't make very many things funny in this one. :happy:

I've done some clothing and armor conversions for CBBE and actually overhauled many of the characters to make them more unique. I asked for permissions to upload, but never got a response. :huh: I'll ask again and see if they respond this time.

Yeah, stealth boy and a very high sneak skill if you're being honest. Console commands if you're not. :tongue:
