Delte's immersion mods

[Ovennamedheats]

Does anybody know what happened to this guy? Great resource but the last issue is from 2009.

 

I wonder if a lot of these "experts" would continue their work if they were paid, especially some of the professional modders. If everyone who endorsed a mod just gave a dollar would they be willing to keep the project going?

Most likely. I mean if you were getting some money from it why wouldnt you keep going? All well though.

How do we donate to the individuals making the mods?

[DoctorKaizeld]

you go to their mod page and hit the donate button. some modders dont have it active though.

Right on, Thanks

All I coud find about that "Delte" one were mod lists. So he/she just made some mod lists? Or was there more to it? The one list I stumbled upon, over at Bethsoft forums, just listed some "immersion" mods made by other people.

 

Of the sleep, eat, stamina, bedroll and stuff, here would be some ideas. Also overhaul and bugfixes. All the mods are here on Nexus. When I get to my laptop, maybe I could try to elaborate somehow:

 

• Unofficial Oblivion Patch, Unofficial Shivering Isles Patch, Unofficial Oblivion DLC Patches - to fix bugs, obviously, and yes, fewer bugs should improve the gameplay experience?
• Basic Physical Activites by Maskar features sprinting, speed changes relative to movement type and environment, and stuff like that. I use it, and have not had any issues.
• Basic Primary Needs, also by Maskar, has things like thirst, hunger, sleep and everything you need for them (like fillable bottles of sorts). It is the best needs mod I have found, absolutely.
• Camping, this one also by Maskar, has portable tents for everyone! Magnificent, definitely needed with Basic Primary Needs for sleeping.
• Maskar's Oblivion Overhaul, by Maskar again, has backpacks and other items to go with those mods, which is why I put it here with them. But it also has a TON of other things and I can absolutely recommend it.

Generally, though, getting a list of recommended mods is as easy as posting a question somewhere like "any good immersive mods that make gameplay more interesting?" with maybe some conditions to focus the query. Chances are people will be all over it with various recommendations, maybe even explanations as to why those mods specifically would fit your criteria. And the Internet should be full of mod lists in general.

 

Also, donating does not automatically mean that someone is going to do something. Some people do things for fun, and maybe want to give something back to the "community". For example I make mods for fun, and by sharing my petty works I am trying not to be a pure parasite of sorts. I would say making mods is a hobby of mine, and it makes me feel better about using mods that other people have poured their hard work and free time into, when I know I have also done exactly the same thing, instead of just downloading free stuff. But that is just me. Everyone probably contributes in their own way. And most people contribute nothing, but they seem to be fine with it, and it is not for me to judge. :P Anyway, donating so that someone would do something still sounds a bit... ethically problematic. At least currently, when mods are free, paying for someone to do something is something I personally consider extremely problematic. Anyway, it is all off the scope here, and I will not write more about it. :blush:
