icecreamassassin Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 (edited) So I have this massive mod I have been working on for months: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/52248/? It's basically a large expansion pack which centers around a museum in solitude, has a large main quest, several smaller quests, breadcrumb quests, new fully voiced NPC's over 50 community contributed unique relics not in the original and many many other things. So far those who have been following it have been raving about it and LOVE the mod. Problem is that there is enough content for this to be classed as an expansion pack, but there is no such category. It's also grown far beyond the original "houses and buildings" category and I currently have it in "collectables, puzzles and treasure hunts" which also doesn't quite fit the bill but is closer based on it's display focus This is easily THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE display mod on the net, not a single other mod which I've heard about has such a broad scope from what everyone is telling me... So here is the question, how the heck do I get the word out AND what would the best way to categorize it be? Lastly should I name it something more generic such as "Skyrim Museum (legacy of the dragonborn)"?

Oubliette Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Getting the word out: Nothing really. If your mod is that great people will find it, download it, endorse it and recommend it to other players. Category: you could put it in quests but you'll have steeper competition to be noticed. Right now you're already appearing on the first page for Treasure mods but move the mod and you'll have to start gathering endorsements again. I wouldn't rename it either, it'll make it harder on the people who are talking about the mod. One thing you could do is trying to release a few more mods and posting screenshots of your mod in the image share. They're both a way of getting new eyes on your work.

icecreamassassin Posted July 14, 2014 Author Share Posted July 14, 2014 hey cool, thanks for the input.... btw changing the category doesn't reset your endorsements, I moved it from buildings to collectables and it kept them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
postal001 Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 I would ask some of the youtube mod reviewers to look at your mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkasha Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Fix that description. It's not very clear or appealing. Having said that I'll try the mod out, must've missed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nivea Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Not enough naked chicks. But really its all about what people want, your mod is going to appeal to the completionist crowd for most of people just having a house to display a few key items is enough. So really having a museum dedicated to themselves and accomplishments may not appeal to most people.That said getting someone to do a video walk through of the museum when its fully completed show casing and talking about your mod will help alot, you will want to post that on your front page. You have SO many pictures is very overwhelming, and none of them have any text description so I have no idea what I am looking at. Another thing is that I am unsure about is this a house mod or not? I see something about a "safe house" and even children beds, make sure you elaborate on that because if its a house mod and a museum it might appeal to more people. It might be the difference on if they download the mod or not. So pretty much you need a video, perhaps better descriptions with your pictures and I would suggest taking "epic" pictures and putting them in image share section. Even if you can not play at high settings turning it up and perhaps even putting in a ENB just to take a picture can really help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattiewagg Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Fix that description. It's not very clear or appealing. Having said that I'll try the mod out, must've missed it. I think the description isn't all that bad. It's dramatic, but also fairly clear in the second paragraph about what it does. It could use a bit of improvement, but overall, it's pretty decent.
