Please don't delude yourselves. This need for mod users to feel as if they're as important as the mod authors is absolutely insane. I've never created a mod for Skyrim. I've downloaded hundreds and endorsed many, but I would never lie to myself that I'm somehow contributing that way. I have contributed absolutely nothing of worth to the Skyrim modding community, and that's true of everyone else who's never made a mod. For me to think that by downloading and using mods I am somehow contributing to the community would be the height of arrogance. I would love a way to pay modders for their hard work. I spend a decent percentage of my income on gaming as it is. To buy a $1400 gaming PC and then turn around and refuse to pay for mods would be very shitty of me. Donating is not something I'm interested in, because when I pay for something, I want to receive something in return, just like I do with my Steam library or my record collection.

Having the same problem.

Not working for me either. edit: More specifically, I'm getting "File does not exist" for every file try to download.

Whenever I try to start Skyrim, the little "preparing to launch" window just flashes a dozen times or so and then nothing happens. This is right after quitting the game after playing and it was working fine. It has also given me some message about the cloud not working a couple times, but not every time. WTF is going on?

I had this same thing happen and I don't use Deadly Dragons. Might be related to Wars in Skyim or some other mod.

Good times.

The point would be 'fun'. This is a game, right? For fun. But I thought Skyrim was Serious Business?

When you date a girl who literally believes she was Jesus in a past life (oh and also a vampire, a wolf, an alien, the list goes on) and is the current incarnation of some new-age goddess figure, you start to get pretty skeptical. Those are pretty clouds, though.

The whole interracial marriage thing was a great opportunity for Bethesda to work in some real quality writing, characters and moral questions. I'd like to see a mod that tackles that. Not because interracial marriage itself is something I'm super into, but I like it when games throw something at me that's actually at an adult level.

Except Witcher 2 assets fit into Skyrim pretty well, seeing as they're both medieval fantasies. If you didn't know about the Witcher, you might think they were part of the game (albeit with way better art direction). A flying saucer would be interesting if you were to actually tie it in with a story about aliens from another planet and s***. I actually play with the Cybertron moon because I think it helps give the game an atmosphere of unknown - imagine living in a world like Skyrim, and seeing this weird machine-looking planet floating in the sky. There is also theoretically some historical precedent - Cowboys and Aliens was loosely based on an actual theory posited by Zecharia Sitchens (sic) regarding ancient alien visitors called Anunnaki. Carvings of spacemen in Mayan temples, monuments like the pyramids or Ankhor Watt in Cambodia or the strange carved monoliths of the coast of Japan, etc. That said, running around in Skyrim with a gravity gun in an HEV suit seems random and pointless. Just my opinion though.

Yeah I'm down for some tentacle-faced monsters and s***. Didn't Bethesda actually develop a Cthulu game a few years back?

Yeah that seems pretty weird and unintuitive to me. You'd think the "Top 100" link would take you to a list of 100, not 25. If you have to choose one of the other options to get a list of 100 mods, then it should be called Top 25 in the menu IMO.

What?

I agree with you in that there are a lot of people who seem to think the CK will make modding Skyrim as easy as rearranging furniture in the Sims. I predict a lot of very confused and disappointed threads when people discover this is an industry tool designed for and by people with a ton of experience and expertise, not the modding equivalent of iMovie.

I think most of the problems in these scenarios are from CPU bottlenecks. Too much AI to handle all at once.
