Another question: do you mean 29.5 square km or 29.5 by 29.5 km? The difference is huge.

Is that so? Could you maybe link to the mod page?

Ok, so I've been wandering what the technical limits of a map size in the Creation Engine are. For those of you who dont know, creation engine is the engine powering skyrim, so to rephrase my question: what is the map size limit in skyrim? I haven't seen many mods that would actually add map area outside of the current skyrim boundaries. Save for mods like moonpath to elsewyr, which basically make new dungeons, and dont add to the open skyrim world. If someone was to put their mind and time to it, how big could a map actually be made? Could it span the whole of tamriel? Even larger? Could someone create the whole of westeros in creation engine? How does creation engine handle the open world? Is it divided into cells, which load when a player approaches them? If so, is the only limit the number of cells? If anyone could explain this to me i'd be grateful. Cheers!

Ah, so basically this whole latest patch required is just a bethesda's fit, and has no actual good reason aside piracy prevention. ok, thanks for clarifying this. :) cheers!

Requires Skyrim version 1.8.151.0.7 or higher. NOT SUPPORTED ON OLDER VERSIONS!!! or REQUIRED DAWNGUARD These messages greet me on many and more mods.So I'm interested what happened in this last patch and with dawnguard. Did bethesda add some scripts? New code? New creation kit apis? Why do so many mods require the new patch and/or dawnguard? Or is this just so that all people use the same version and modders dont have to ensure backwards compatibility?

Hey, I installed a bunch of mods that modify looks and now there is a problem with long distance textures and models. For example there is no whiterun model, but only the window textures. And the mountains in the background use wrong textures. Another example would be that there is no bleakfalls burrow.. And objects fade too soon, in my opinion. http://imageshack.us/a/img832/1566/tesv2013020320441795.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img824/5311/tesv2013020320451693.jpg What could be the problem? Maybe open cities?
