There is already a method to go about "updating" your old mods to work with the legendary patch using TES5Edit. Assuming you already have the old Unofficial Skyrim patches loaded, just load the mods you want to 'update' unto TES5Edit and change the required master files to the Unofficial Skyrim Legendary patch.

Having played Immersive Creatures, Monster Mod Reborn, and the original Monster Mod through many playthroughs, I've gotten bored by the lack of adrenaline I once had upon coming across the creatures of these mods in my adventures. The monsters are no longer surprising to me, and mods like the ones mentioned only seem to add more creatures and required disk space as the main 'meat' of their updates. While I am looking for mods that give my game a dark-fantasy vibe, dogtown's Monster Mod presents creature models that, in my opinionated observations, break immersion too much for me to take combat seriously. Immersive Creatures had that spark of variety in the first several playthroughs, but after a while the encounters become stale and adds no new element to the game's encounter mechanics. I would like to see a monster pack whose creatures respond to the follow events: Death Rather than just having corpses disappear into thin air, why not entertain a little backstory to their removal? So when you either (1) kill a humanoid/mammal or (2) come across a fresh corpse, there is a chance a creature will spawn nearby who will rush at the scene to devour the dead corpses. If it senses you within the vicinity of the corpse(s), the scavenger will try to ambush you with the intention of killing you. A flight or fight situation, you can either fend off the fast creature or run away; if you choose to run away, it will chase you for only a short time before running back to the source of death to clean up the corpses in the given area and ultimately disappear (that is, if you are fast enough to out-run it). If you decide to fight it, prepare for many cheap and deadly swipes as it is a very agile and relentless creature. Excluding cities, these creatures will make their appearance in forests, roads, snowlands, small towns and abandoned areas. I think this event adds an additional element of fear and surprise when in combat, since you have a sense of uneasiness even after killing your foe. For the models in question, I would models that make use of the existing models in the vanilla game. Here are several concept pictures that I hope will assist in the creation of the models. 1. A draugr-falmer hybrid: I think the body of the falmer and facial model of the draugr would make great candidates for the creature for this event. For animations I can imagine heavy use of falmer, draugr, werewolf(the feeding animation), and possibly gargoyle resources. http://img10.deviantart.net/643c/i/2012/220/c/1/crouching_creature_by_rhyshaug-d5a7w5y.jpg A savage posture. http://mystsofeyr.com/images/10953643_1536025030000777_1443923047_n.jpg Glowing eyes that pierce at you! An ear-splitting scream! http://i.ytimg.com/vi/7aiHrk0us1I/hqdefault.jpg Blinding speed! Notable references: The girl ghost from The Grudge movies. 2. Small and feral aerial creature: apart from dragons, there aren't really any other threats in the sky. The alternative to the first beast could be a small bat-like creature that really tests the timing and dexterity of your aim. Another agile and aggressive monster, it will attack you by flying within a small radius around you. It can perhaps shoot projectiles of venemous spit. The easiest class to deal with this would probably be mages, as they can just spray-and-pray their spells at it while it flies swiftly around you. This creature can be practice for archers in shooting at fast moving targets, and, for swordsmen, practice the timing of their strikes. I do not have a particular model in mind but I think this image resonates well: http://www.strangescience.net/enlar/en_pter.jpg Rain Storms Perhaps during storms certain creatures have a chance of spawning around you. Here are a few references I think will suit well for this event: http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20141018145951/cryptidz/images/e/e9/Moddey_Dhoo.jpg. The black shuck of English folklore, according to some references, is said to be a vicious bringer of omens, in which witnesses experience events of lightning, thunder, darkness, and hailing upon setting eyes on the beast. Wolf and hell-hound models will prove useful in this. Perhaps an aquatic-humanoid like this scary looking naiad can roam about on rainy days? Similar approaches can be made to snow storms, dust storms, etc. Fog I can't think of any models, but creatures that use illusion and alteration mechanics would fit well into this scenario.

I'd also like to know this.

Upon searching, I also thought the same thing. There isn't much of a foundation behind the sword ind terms of action play because of it's lack of active incorporation in the Middle-Earth system. This is also why the concept art is close to being puke because of the lacking distinctiveness. I just wanted to see if anybody could generate a better background of it.

I do not know if a mod with my request exists, but this is a follower system that only activates when the player is in combat. This mechanic only limits the player to a maximum of three followers (they will player dynamic roles in combat) The hotkey Commands for each follower can be assigned by a row of numbers on the numberpad (Follower 1 has 1-3, Follower 2 has 4-6, Follower 3 has 7-9) The 0 key addresses all three allies Before Combat Function Before heading into combat, you are able to recruit a maximum of three followers, and assign each one a unique class from a list (for the sake of brevity I will only address one class in-depth): Healer- As name states, this follower will serve primarily as a healer. Non-magic Healers need to keep a good supply of health regen and/or stamina potions to replenish the team during combat. Magic Healers need to keep a good amount of MP potions to self-sustain healing,warding, and paralysis spells. Since offensive tactics are not the priorities of the healer, they will be weak in attacks. Before combat, you can give them simple commands like "go and fill up your stock priest" and you give them some septims for them to stock up. They will go away for a short while (to add immersion effect) and return with their support supplies restocked. Healer in Combat: During combat, using hotkeys, you can call out the healer to heal, which the healer will focus on aiding teammates based on lowest HP. Non-magic healers will run up and hand you some HP pots and move on to the next. Magic healers will use healing spells. You can also request the healer to shield for a member- Non-magic healers will use a shield and cover you from the battle, eating arrows and deflecting blows. Magic healers will use the ward spell to guard you from enemy spells. And so on. the 0 key will set priorities for the followers during combat. You can order one (or all of them) to focus on enemy archers/mages first to quickly gain the upperhand of the battle, or have your illusionist/rogue ally sneak behind the bulk of the enemy and ambush. You can yell at your team to spread out/scatter in which they will seek cover and fight off the enemy defensively. Let's say you and your team are facing a draugr group and a dragon? Order your ranged attack to focus on the dragon while you and the rest fight out the zombies (assuming you are a close-combat character). The intention I am trying to get across is the make both the player and followers rely equally and heavily on each other rather than the followers leeching off the player for help.

yes they can. depending on your system though, because if you cannot run Skyrim on it than it could be a pain to do. Okay, it runs skyrim very well though with some progressive heating issues (as expected from a laptop). How would you say is the feasibility of the racial recognition of an npc?

Its a sword called Gurthang, Turin Turambar's epic sword that he used to slay Glaurung the Dragon. ~Lore:http://lotr.wikia.com/wiki/Gurthang ~Concept Art: http://www.deviantart.com/?q=gurthang I'd say its a cool sword for roleplaying.

Okay, I am considering pursuing this potential project on my, I just need one question: can mods be created on a laptop? Of course it depends on what system I have but I just want to know the relative comparisons between modding on a laptop and modding on a pc.

And besides, if there is an arrangement that is questionable when using LOOT, you can set specific load order directions that LOOT will remember the next time you use LOOT's organization functionality. So if you want to make LOOT as reliable as possible, I suggest going through each of your mods' load order instructions and set LOOT to remember them. That way, you wont have a suspicious load order and will have the most updated master lists.

And if you want to integrate lore into character interaction, there is a method that I think will be acceptable while also giving off some nostalgia: For example, you encounter a orc patrol (an indication that there is a orsimer stronghold nearby) and the head scout stops you with a forced- voiced- dialogue "You there..." or "Hey" (any available generic script) and then from there the rest of the conversation is all in text. The only issue I guess with this is to make the language and text immersive and interesting enough to maintain the player's reading attention span.

1. Very Sorry for my negligence. 2. I guess that basically sums it, though with a few more enhancements similar to Immersive Patrols and the Wearing Faction Armor Causes Aggression. Covering this issue should revive some of the aspects that made TES games worth revisiting because of the endless and random possibilities. 3. Unfortunately, that is it at its basis. However, it brings more realism and immersion to the gameplay. I was reading through J.R.R. Tolkein's "Unfinished Tales" and I guess that got me thinking at how much impactful character relationships can be on the overall plot.

Edit: Switch info of posts with like title names. First/oldest version has the intended info. It seems that my internet was lagging and posted twice, so I will edit this repeat something worth a glimpse of pardon. In terms of dialogue, it is there a mod that changes the text of the Dragonborn to something more appropriate to its time era? For instance, the dialogue tone of the Dragonborn towards a Jarl is perhaps too casual/rude in my opinion. Expanding on this, pehaps dialogue tone and structure should be dependent on the race the Dragonborn chose.

Changes: Switched info of the posts with similar title names. I would like someone to consider on a NPC mod that focuses on the gameplay consequences of racial identity. Not on stats and skills, but more focus on AI behavior towards a race. I was reading up on lore(and a few books by J. Tolkein :D) and realized that in order for a game/lore-based novel to have a prolonging "wow" factor, there must be a dynamical direction for a player/character to take while also being open to possibilities. Since Skyrim is under major political instability, it would make sense that neighboring kingdoms(both enemy and independent) would want to involved in Skyrim's affairs in hopes of gaining and establishing some sort of benefit/gain. There are only two mods that,when used together, sort of achieve these parameters ( Immersive Patrols and Wearing Faction Armor Causes Aggession) but only on a small and limited scale. I propose to expand on this concept by including the allies of the Aldmeri Dominion and those of the Empire. For instance, Towards the west of Skyrim there should be a increase number of Orsimer strongholds (since High Rock is on the west of Skyrim) and Breton people with their respective patrols. Whenever you are nearing an Orsimer stronghold, be aware of a Orc patrol nearby. Since the Thalmor largely(if not all) comprise of High Elves, they are fine, however I think that Bosmer and Khajit races should be frequent appearances since they are diplomatically united under the Aldmeri Dominion. Bosmers, as skilled hunters and marksman, can be integrated as scouts for Thalmor regions/patrols/camps while the Khajits can serve as spies and watchman because of their keen eyes and prowess. I will not expand on this concept in its entirety for fear it will be a tl;dr. Another important aspect that should greatly enhance density is by integrating racial relationships among diplomatic factions. For example, while High Elves are inconsiderate towards many of the other races, they should be somewhat familiar and comfortable around Bosmer and Khajit beings because of the diplomatic alliance between their nations. While this is the case on paper, I wish this to be actually implemented in gameplay. Using the racial relation mechanic, the Dragonborn be MORE cautious of what race he/she wants to pursue depending on what type of initial relationships he/she wants. Of course, later in the gameplay the Dragonborn can either increase racial relationships by doing quests from a racial representative (vanilla has some quests that marginally enhance/neutralize racial relationships of some races) or worsen racial relationships by killing/doing some hostile-negative action towards a racial representative (a racial rep. is a being of a particular race that the Dragonborn wants to impact). So, for example, a orc patrol will either let you pass or act hostile towards your presence depending on what race you chose. Thank so very much for your time. Please share with me your input on this.

Oh, and to make it less memory intensive, the Dragonborn will have a limited time to chase down the retreating enemy before they disappear. If they disappear, then that means they have successfully retreated and are in the process of gathering reinforcements.
