Looking for an ownable town mod

[havda5]

Ok so I've been searching the Skyrim nexus for awhile now and I haven't found a mod that allows you to control and develop a town/city of your own. I know there is the RTS mod but I can't get used to it and the construction side; this is why I'm looking a mod that is a static location but with a building system like "build your own home" mod. To give you a better picture of what I'm looking for I want a mod that allows you to take charge of a plot of land and develop it into a thriving town where you: build the housing and shops, hire people to work for you, and upgrade not just the town as a whole but each individual building to improve: the looks, cash flow and what they can sell/do.

 

If you know of a mod that does this or is similar please post it below. thanks for taking the time to read this and hopefully you can help in my search.

Nothing like that exists yet. In the meantime however, I would recommend you try out these mods.

I am working on a couple of mods concepts and i think your idea may fit into it very nicely.

 

But from what i can see from the modding side, it may be a lot of work.

not so much the modelling side of things, but more the extensive scripting that it will involve.

Now, dont be afraid to correct me on anything i type, but you may be waiting for a while before something like this comes out.

 

The mods i am working on is about creating a mercenary company that you can control, take contract jobs etc and i rekon that your idea of setting up a

village of your own would be a great base of operations for a budding mercenary commander.

 

If anyone wants to help me make this work, dont hesitate to add me through skype (Name in my profile), pm me or reply back here.

I could really use any help and will welcome everyone.

Thanks for the feed back guys. I thought there might have been what I was looking for as I've seen similar mods but they are still in development. Oh well I'll have to wait; but at least I'm not the only one that wont's this to be done, maybe someone will read this and go out and make it :P

It's nowhere near the level of choice you're looking for, but I have a playerhome and town mod HERE that gives you a few choices as the new owner, most notably what faction you want as the town's guards, a few aesthetic details related to that, and some other choices relating to the player home.

 

I might make something a bit more in depth on the "choice" front at some point. It's actually not very difficult at all to do most of what you're asking for, just immensely time consuming.

I understand that making a mod like this would be very time consuming but I'm sure that it would be worth making as it would feel like an expansion of the game and I personally feel that a mod like this would be very popular. I'm not forcing someone to make a mod like this by any means I just thought it was a brilliant idea.

Oh it is no doubt, just confirming why it doesn't already exist! :thumbsup:

 

And actually when I say it's not very difficult, that depends on exactly how it's made too - if you include the likes of being able to pick where the buildings go etc (instead of just what they look like/how they're decorated/what kind of merchant etc) then that IS difficult...

What i write next i am thinking about Helgen and how to make it easy to make but rewarding to play the quest line.

 

What if, by talking to "*****" you can select what building you want rebuilt, but the requirment must be met first.

You pay X amount of gold to have said selection built. With each building that is built new npcs appear to occupy selection.

 

I know it aint the best way to describe it, but i hope you get the idea

 

EDIT: a good example of what i was thinkning is along the lines of what was done in Build Your Own Home.

I was thinking more they had a slot where they would be built; and for upgrading them i was thinking maybe making them bigger so they can store more stuff or increase the size of a mine so they have a bigger output. for hiring people i was thinking that you hired the person for the type of store, so the stores are always in the same locations, and you can hire more depending on the upgrades you have for the store/facility.

 

for example when you upgrade the mine it gets bigger which means there are more ores to mine; but to get the best output you can hire more workers to mine the new ores. this would be the same for all the different shops/facilities; but obviously before you can hire anyone you need accommodation for them
