LE Custom World Quesion(s)

[skymarin]

I need to know if i am able to create a really huge world with the creation kit, i have a picture below that displays the size difference between skyrim and my custom world,

I also need to know how high the world can be, my custom world will be 3.5 times even not 4 times larger in height them skyrim is from sea level to "throat of the world".

i can tell you that it will be larger them tamriel, but not by much.

The red lines separate the provinces and the gray lines out line the countries.

1 line crossing the gray lines = outer entrances to the countries, 2 lines crossing = the only way to and from country to country.

the arctic area(D1) is the highest place with large mountains, the Tundra Area(A1-5) is the lowest and near sea level.

This is all my design.

It is possible but highly unlikely you will pull it off. Just saying this from experience. Discworld is 2/3 that of skyrim and it will be a miracle if I pull it all off within the 2 year timeframe I gave myself (7 months left) And don't give me any lip about time, trust me, I've thrown untold thousands of hours into this. Secondly, anything larger than a 64x64 quad layout would require a lot of extensive testing and setup and all that jazz, you would probably be weeks setting it up just to get the terrain and LOD's to work inside those boundaries. I know 4x skyrim is possible, your's is a bit more massive.

 

From what I see that you have done, my recommendation is to not even start on this man. I would give it easily a million to one odds you even get 6 months deep. That level of landscaping and population is mind numbingly boring, as well as extremely difficult. Start a bit smaller, get a worldspace up and figure it out, from regions to weather to landscaping LOD etc etc, jumping to what you have up there is a clear path to burnout fast and frustration.

 

Good luck either way, you need it for smaller and a miracle to pull that off :)

oh i wont be doing all that until i get a powerful enough computer, plus im in the planning phase, storyline, main cities, towns, area terrain, factions, all that, im not putting anything together without knowing what i need to do lol, i wont be starting this for another 3 years maybe, i need powerful pc and time, if i can create it using the creation kit, then the only thing im concerned about is voice actors and some custom objects, im sure i can't just use vanilla stuff only, i would like to combined things from mods all over the nexus community, resources, weapons, armors, monsters/creatures/animals, i like doing all this stuff but i don't have the time at this point in my life, im just working to get money, i already have a lot planned out for the world it self, about 60-70% done, plus if it is required for some peoples pc's to be able to handle the large world, i could make a version that only loads single countries at a time, places invisible walls like the ones around skyrim, so they can only see the LOD of the other countries, a lot like the world spaces of the main cities of skyrim, but ya i just needed to know if the creation kit could do it, thanks for the info and the advise, but i might as well do something i love when im at least nearing the beginning of my retirement, i do hope to see the new elder scrolls 6 come out with skyrim to TES6 compatibility, i would not might having a lot more to work with :smile:

The worldspace size limit is +/-64 cells (128x128 cells centered around 0,0), pretty much the size of Tamriel worldspace in Skyrim. Doing anything larger is impossible due to havok engine limitations.

My advice is start small. Create a central area the size of a Skyrim hold, then expand from there. Going full ham and trying to make something the size ur thinking about is impossible. Bethesda had over a 100 people working and Skyrim still felt empty at times. Go for quality over quantity. Daren is right.
