DragonFire007 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 (edited) Hi all, now you might be wondering what I am talking about. Well I am going to Vo-Tech and I am enrolled in a class called E.A.S.T. (Environmental and Spatial Technology) which allows the students that are in rolled to choose their own Projects. This class is during school and last 3 hours which will give me more time to work on modding and also the time I will be modding at home. Now I want to do a modification over Skyrim (as the title suggests) but my instructor needs proof about the community need for a modification, the proof can be an article about it etc. Now there is where I need help on finding this proof. Should I just show my instructor the “Skyrim Mod Suggest”? Or is there an article/s that has the importance of modding? I’ve been looking through all the forums and goggling and I haven’t been successful. I know this is kind of a weird thing to be asking, but this will give me a lot more time to make a mod. If you have any more questions please ask. PS: Thanks everyone for your help. PSS: My Instructor doesn't know anything about Skyrim.

MofoMojo Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Define need. Define community, for that matter. I think the title of the topic is a bit misleading (and demanding) but what he appears to be asking for is that he needs an online article/topc that discusses a particular mod that the skyrim community (those that play skyrim) are asking for. I doubt you'll find anything that could be called "an article" unless one of the online gaming magazine columnists write an article about "What skyrim needs" discussing something in particular. Your best bet is to haunt the mod request forums on Nexus and Bethsoft and see if there are large/popular threads supporting a particular modding idea. -MM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axisdeath Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Well, i wouldn't say it's needed, however... Bethesda, like many other game company's do have deadlines to meat, and quotas to fill. Being such large games, that is why thy are so glitchy. Mod have not only been released to fix glitches, but have also been released to improve graphics or textures where the original game creators were not able to. Mods are also released that add new armor, areas, and even new quests to the game that not only show a persons own skill with modding, but also their creativity with creating story lines. Mods are a way to expand games like Skyrim way beyond it's normal boundaries and limitations, and show a persons own talent. While they may not be required, they are sources for great enjoyment, and responsible for not only allowing people to show talent, but also bringing a community of mod lovers and modders together. Maybe you could just tell your teacher that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes that is what I am asking for. I hope a gaming magazine does do something like that. Well, i wouldn't say it's needed, however...

Do you think this article could work in which Todd Howard talks about how they wish they could put mods onto consoles work?Link: http://www.ausgamers...es/read/3076322 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Transbot9 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 I would suggest two possible routes: 1. Find an article or review of Skyrim that mentions a common complaint or bug, and then your project would be to fix that bug. Some people are already working on their own fixes for the PC UI.2. Find a specific project for Skyrim that several modders are working on, like a DLC or Expansion. A lot of times they will have a list of what modders are still needed. If you can join them, you may be able to use their "want-ads" for the article you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theru Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 (edited) theres a big project going on here, they planning to make it possible to travelfrom skyrim do cyrodil and vardenfell, they started as soon as skyrim came out ^^ so yeah there is a modding comunity if this nexus comunity isnt refered to it, wich in my belives is very much alive and well ^^ i seen far better mods here then beths own things =P http://www.darkcreations.org/beyond-skyrim/wiki/index.php/Main_Page http://www.darkcreations.org/about/ just read thought and u get all the things u needand oh nexus is a modding comunity,we upload our stuffs here ^^ and some join team and create awsum mods =Pand besides why dont your instructor create an account and join to see for himself? " Now I want to do a modification over Skyrim (as the title suggests) but my instructor needs proof about the community need for a modification, the proof can be an article about it etc." this has nothing to do with modding community(refering to the quote "as the title suggest")thats is illegal to modify their code to make your own game, if this is what u planning to do then this forum isnt for you.

jimhsu Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 (edited) Nothing that google can't solve. Random articles: Business InsiderKotakuIn Entertainment I won't mention the amount of stuff on Oblivion/Fallout already. Believe there are NY Times articles on it also. Of course this too.
