Skywind is coming to Nexus Mods

[rotwhip]

I wish there was something I could help with, but I do not have the skills, or the setup required.

 

I wish you all the best of luck!

I wonder what's going to happen with Skyblivion?

Out of curiosity, how does one need Morrowind if no assets are used from that game? I thought SkyWind was built from the ground up?

I mean it makes sense, because in my mind I was actually laughing at the thought of people being able to play a replicate of Morrowind with high graphics for free. Which led me to think how Bethesda would actually go about this and have accepted it.

I just can't fit in my mind how Morrowind is required if Bethesda specifically told them they can't use assets because it's against their EULA to port over assets from one game to another.

It's not a huge deal, because Morrowind is like 5 bucks during a Steam sale, and we'll be getting more than a few of those before Skywind releases.

It's something the team at TesRenewal has deemed necessary for the mod, not out of necessity, but out of respect for the title and possibly to prevent legal issues. You ARE, after all, playing a complete recreation and improvement of Morrowind.

My only worry is that you probably specifically need the GOTY version, which I nvr got because I had all 3 disks already.

I know it is cheap on Steam, but have ZERO interest in letting Steam EVER install ANYTHING on my box again, as every time I open the door for them they backdoor overwrite my TESV setup w/default crud that cannot be rolled back, but must be replaced piecemeal by hand as it is found incompatible. The last time I let them fix one thing they full updated my game and it w/n load until I fixed it after much work. Edited March 18, 2016 by Cliven

If you want to help Skywind, I think your time and skills is more valuable to them than money :). They do have a Patreon though iirc.

Maybe Endgameaddiction misspoke, but there is a key word in his post Im interested in:
HOW

I know how to set dependencies for skyrim mods to other skyrim mods. How does one go about setting a dependency for a different game? My question is purely on the mechanics of such a thing; I have no interest in any debates. Im just curious how you did it.

And please keep up the good work, it looks awesome!
