Skyrim modding in 2015 still not as good as oblivion modding in 2010?

There is nothing in skyrim that comes close to what OOO alone does, and if i'm wrong please tell me what comes close.

Even if this is true (I was never a fan of OOO anyway, so I haven't gone looking for Skyrim equivalents)...what does this have to do with boobie armors?

That wasnt a reply to you, it was a reply to lofgren.

AH yes, the "you're modding the game wrong. How dare you mod the game in ways I don't agree with!" argument.

 

Thats always a winner.

 

I mean, its sure is good that Oblivion didn't have any boobie armor mods. If it had, then you never would have had OOO, Frans, OMOBS, etc.

..wait...

 

 

Nephenee13, its pretty well known that the problem is way worse in skyrim, as the only person that seems to make them for oblivion anymore is you and Nailflan. Also, when i want to find good new mods for oblivion, its easy to do so by looking at most endorsed recently added files, or files of the month, since the mod submissions are pretty sparse nowadays.

I know just look at all these skimpy boobies armors on the front page of Skyrim Nexus

3 of which are retextures, and one of them a booby armor companion. :/

[Nephenee13]

For a random grab from teh front, one decent sized quest, one small quest rewarding a brand new hammer complete with a custom mesh, Two vanilla weapon/armor retextures, one environment retexture and a companion (who will look like whatever body mod you have installed) is a pretty decent variety.

The only one that comes even close to "boobie" is the companion, and again she'll look like whatever you happen to have installed.

Again, you are conflating two entirely different issues.

The people who maintain this site have gone out of their ways to make it as easy as possible for you to find the sort of mods you like. If after that you still believe Oblivion to be the far far better game then by all means play Oblivion. I fail to see the possible merit of the discussion.

- Not crashing every 15-30 mins

- Not having bugs

All of the TES games have bugs and all of them have crashing issues. Skyrim is no worse than the other. It's perfectly stable if you don't overwhelm your system (with graphics, scripting, or AI load) or install a bunch of incompatible mods. I've had far fewer crashes with Skyrim than either Oblivion or Morrowind. But it has taken longer for people to learn how to make mods that keep Skyrim stable because most instability in Skyrim comes from combinations of mods while the instability in earlier games was usually triggered one mod at a time. (A poorly written script in Morrowind or Oblivion would freeze the game right away. A poorly written script in Skyrim usually won't cause visible problems until it interacts with other scripts or it finally generates so much garbage that the game finally collapses under the load.)

- Richer lore, skyrim seems to care about being an action and people game than a game about its worlds history, like a lot of oblivion felt like, being able to go near other provinces and having it feel a little bit like those provinces it borders, aylieds and all that

Yes, Skyrim is a different game with a different focus. Cyrodill is the heart of the empire and connected to all of the other provinces, but many of us actually considered it rather bland. Skyrim is concerned with its own history and its own issues but each of its main cities is at least as varied as the cities of Cyrodill. And Blackreach with its Dwemer and Falmer is surely a sufficient replacement for the Aylied ruins.

 

Looking at your list I see a common theme. It's clear that your biggest issue is that Skyrim isn't Oblivion part 2. They're the same type of complaints that Oblivion got from long-time Morrowind fans. And many Daggerfall fans thought Morrowind was an abomination too.

 

Comparing the games and their mods is really a futile activity. Each game is different in so many ways and the mods that get created for them reflect both what people disliked about the base game and changing perspectives on what constitutes a good game experience.

Well maybe someone could help me? everyone seems to disagree with me so maybe there are some mods i'm missing. For example what are the 4 skyrim mods that are comparible to OOO, MMM, Frans, and Warcry as lofgren says there is?

 

EDIT: btw this comment was made before i saw the one above me ^

Why do there need to be 4 specific mods that have the same effect as FCOM?

FCOM was developed specifically to address Oblivion's (perceived) weaknesses when it came to enemy variety and general difficulty.

Skyrim has different (perceived) weaknesses, and will have different mods addressing them. If you are looking for "FCOM for Skyrim" you will of course be disappointed.
