player.setgs fJumpHeightMin X - Modifies min jump height by the player.
player.modav SpeedMult X - Modifies the base speed of a player.
TIM - Immortal Mode. I'm sure this was posted, but I use it for now due to no safefall spell.
player.setgs fJumpHeightMax does not work as far as I can tell. Whenever I modify my jump min it looks/feels like I jump up and hit a ceiling no matter the variable change. Does anyone know if there is a way in Skyrim to modify the height max so it creates a seamless jump no matter how insanely high?

"The creation kit isn't even out yet and this guy wants to remake entire games already. What a looney."
Yes I know how the title sounds, but I am here to give you a logical explanation of my findings and interests. I don't expect this to get past discussion by any means, but I have complete faith in the community to see the opportunity that lay before us. There have been mods such as Morroblivion (that caused a stir last time I checked. Apparently people didn't like combining games) and so forth that allow you to travel to different games. There have also been total additions of provinces that have gone past little but area design. MY favorite mod is Elsywer and I remember having a mod that added valenwood and skyrim. Both of the later hardly had any content and no NPCs. Still amazing feats of creation that I loved every moment of.
I remember modding in Fallout 3 and trying to make whole new areas outside the border areas. After many talks with various modders, we came to the conclusion that adding new areas entirely with transition points in the vanilla world was not only easier, but much more compatible. I find this a shame though as any addition areas are so obviously modded projects and create a disconnection to the main world.
Where am I getting at in all of this? Skyrim has the resources and framework to add on other beloved provinces. By no means a small feat, but the attention to detail Bethesda has shown gives us the opportunity to think big. I now draw your attention to this Youtube video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PlbA2qiXsf0&feature=player_embedded
For those that cannot watch this or do not understand where I am going with this...let me explain. As a background design, Bethesda has created hallow landscapes for the surrounding provinces of Skyrim. Now this is so those who venture to the farthest mountains in the game have a sense of direction. From what I see, it may be possible to see the white tower from a mountain in Skyrim. But what does this mean for the modding community? From what I can see in this video alone, there is a full framework for talented modders to recreate areas of Tamriel. Again, no small feat.
What I take out of this video is not - "There is land! Someone add some buildings!" Instead I see it as Bethesda has made the engine support a much larger area than the game contains. We are shown that we can easily remove the barriers provided by the game and continue building where Bethesda took off. It doesn't need to be Tamerial, but the opportunity to expand is there before we even have our hands on a creation kit.
TL;DR - Skyrim is jam-packed with detail. Every part of the game is hand crafted and it shows off. We don't have huge empty space like in oblivion nor do we have the "simplicity" of morrowind. For those teams dedicate to larger projects, please consider expanding this beautiful game instead of trying to cram more content into an already filled province.

I'd actually be fine with just Arladris's werewolf the awakening ported over to skyrim.
Oh god yes this. I personally would change some things, but man that mod had everything.
Use Ring of Hircine - werewolf on/off switch.
Here is how to get it
The whole werewolf thing should be fixed or should I say updated.
Transformation your race => werewolf is cool but werewolf => your race kinda sucks.
I expected more immersiveness, some decent visuals, maybe bonus strength/endurance for a few seconds (you were a werewolf just a second ago)...etc.
Strategy guide lied to me and said the ring would only allow 2 transformations a day. I'll just make the ring do something else then.
-
I was PMed a very interesting idea. When you shapeshift back from a werewolf you should have a "sickness" that lasts about a minute. Not sure how I want to set it up, but the idea is that changing back isn't a painless thing.

Already a thread about this. TL;DR - I am going to make a werewolf mod that does all that and more when creation kit is out.
-
It's just a spell you get that you can use once per day. Once you're a werewolf you do have to kill in order to remain a werewolf. Personally, I'm not a fan of this system (liked it more when you were forced to change at night).
Maybe future mods will fix that

Why would you want to join the Silver Hand? THEY ALL NEED TO DIE FOR THEIR IGNORANCE.

Go play on a console then. It is that simple.

While it is fun to have corpses fight with you....the ability to spam atronachs makes it less effective. I always forget I can raise corpses when I can summon elemental demons to fight for my side without needing a reagent. The zombie effects this time around are a million times better than Oblivion however. If there was to be a necromancy mod, I would absolutely want the ability to raise more than one corpse. Diablo 2 necromancer raises to my mind with the playstyle.
-
Hmmm, considering the whole Werewolf thing, any chance we might get a first-person optional perspective? Could it be done without severe issues once the modding tools come out?
Hmm never tried anything like that before. I would need to look at the script. Probably could make it first-person, but the animations would probably look wonky.
-
Oh and I'f you wouldn't mind doing one more mod involving werewolves, I would love one where you can tell the imperials/stormcloaks to bugger off or not care that your a werewolf when taking a fort, I so wanted to run in there and slaughter everybody but those wa Kees on my side kept attacking me
I notice that your companion does not attack you if you turn into a werewolf....unlike my wife. It could probably be done, but I am not a fan of the idea. Werewolfs should be seen as vile creatures that must be purged. If you have a whole faction decide to ignore your "condition" it really throws away the whole "nobody can know I am a werewolf" when an entire army knows about it.
I will look into it though when I get ahold of the creation kit. Most likely I can just add a script into the part where you join a faction to change that faction to be friendly with werewolves.
The Ring of Hircine provides similar functionality (unlimited shifts per day).
I mentioned something along those lines in an idea thread of mine, but it went beyond that, including a way to actually do something worthwhile with the Companions.
I see a lot of these ideas to expand factions. The problem is that if you further the quest line you will have no voice acting for those parts. So it goes from a full beth questline to a modded part where everyone talks in text. Not a bad idea by far, but I do not support non-voiced quest mods. Ruins my precious immersion.

Except you know...that whole "the engine will never support multiple players" thing that has been going on since arena.

Ive been playing around with the idea of making a city housed in some old dwemer ruins. I don't want them back, but I would love to see more mods and content incorporate dwemer machines.
But for the record these are what they look like: http://www.uesp.net/wiki/File:TR_Creature_RadacStungnthumz.jpg
I would almost think if you wanted a mod to add dwarves you should make a more traditional race called something else.

Ala Ring of Hircine.
Ring of Hircine? Where could I get this and what exactly does that ring?
I don't want to spoil anything in the forum yet, but I was referring to it because during the quest you have a chance to randomly turn into a werewolf. Then after the quest it gives the bonus of allowing you to turn twice a day.
-
I found the solution for this.
You need to use OBMM (you need Oblivion for this, it seems, since BSA Commander won't work), and you need to extract your "Skyrim - VoicesExtra.bsa" to your Data folder and then everything works just fine.
This works perfectly.
Just install OBMM to your oblivion folder just like normal.
Then go to your Skyrim data folder. Open VoicesExtra with OBMM. (Should already be the default application)
Say yes when it says "Can't verify version, open anyway?"
Now just hit "extract all" and direct it to your skyrim data folder.
Play!

Jump. Lithianlord needs jump.

Yeah, Basically out of everything that needs to be done, The toggle would be the most challenging as its set in stone to ware off over time, With time in mind it would be ideal to use that to your advantage, Set a spell to set timer to 0 to disable the werewolf form, But to keep the form active until you see fit is as simple as just adding a few zeros at the end of the timer, (" Thats just me making it simple, But if you wanted to overhaul it then it would be challenging,") As for abilities, Howl? you could use the same howl you hear when you press your ability button in werewolf form, Using Howl makes all enemy flee for a short time, Then for other abilities, the usual.... speed, strength, high jumping, ect ect, if you pull this off, it could be file of the month!
Lithianlord? Have a file of the month? Now there is a long dream I have had.
I also don't see the problem with a toggle. I wouldn't use the regular power functions as they would be using the time limit and have the problems you detailed. I could easily make a spell using the quest effect when you turn into a werewolf for the first time. I am not sure exactly how they did that, but to my knowledge that beast form does not wear off. Who knows? With no creation kit I am just guessing how everything works.
Update: I want to somehow make a function where if you haven't feed for X days, you have a chance to turn randomly into a werewolf. Ala Ring of Hircine.
Also I will be making more totems at some point. Like I said - I am going to focus on werewolf mods.

I like the support. The day the construction set comes out I am 99% sure I can upload a mod that changes it from a power to a spell so it can be cast any amount through the day, unless they changed the creation kit in some radical way. After playing as a werewolf for ten levels now here are some ideas:
-Werewolf form is as powerful as it should get. I can take on dungeons my regular form cannot with feeding and the stun-lock ability.
-I don't just want to scale damage. It would be lame to be a giant werewolf doing less damage than your sword because you haven't killed in a while. Damage will still be scaled, but on a smaller decline.
-What I really want to add is more active powers. I liked in oblivion how vampires lost powers and abilities from not feeding for a while. What I don't want is to make werewolfs play exactly like vampires. I though about this and morrowind werewolfs needing to feed like vampires, but I want a completely different playstyle than "I can go out in sun".
-Therefore I want to change the way werewolfs work in just combat. I want my "rage" system to act as more of a combat multiplier. For example: say you feed on three people and then you get a "X2 critical hit" till bloodlust wears off. Then feed on 2 more and get a "10% chance to paralyze". These are all hypothetical.
That way the combat of a werewolf works out like:
Bloodlust 0: Normal swing attacks -> Bloodlust 1: Chance to deal critical damage -> Bloodlust 2: You can now use the fear ability -> Bloodlust 3: 10% chance to paralyze
Goes away after 2:30 minutes of not feeding or changing back to your regular form.
Post active abilities you would like to see or ideas for this.
My big problem now is I want to make a toggle system just so I can loot a room and move on killing.

I'm going to take in replying to topics and instead make my own. This is my one and only request for a mod you will see me specifically state. It is simple, I want my jump spell back from morrowind. In the game I could jump from one side of the continent to the other with "Jump 400 for 3 seconds". Oblivion really felt pointless in it's acrobatics and spell creator when compared to my jump spell. Seeing as how all these wonderful things are removed from Skyrim, I am not sure how to do it. I want a mod that allows me to jump high into the air as a spell effect. That is it. That's is my dream. Help a Khajiit out - won't you?
-
Think I have that. On mine the dragon's flamethrower ability does the same thing.

The real problem is the cities are not open. You would fly at a city as a dragon and realize behind the walls is practically nothing. You would need a mod to open all the cities "walled off areas" like that before you even thought of a proper flying mod.
