SSE Two mod requests based on the Fable franchise

[Zahnrad]

One of my favourite game series has been the Fable franchise, and I've been feeling nostalgic for it as of late, so what better way than to bring it into Skyrim?

 

The first and most easy of the two requests is an OST replacer or track replacers, replacing Skyrim music with music from the Fable games.

 

The other request is for weapons or armor from those games in Skyrim. There already exists some mods for these, but they're for Oldrim on the Steam Workshop in the links provided.

Additionally, these are models from the original "The Lost Chapters" version of Fable 1, and not the remaster of the game which came out later called Fable Anniversary.

 

If I can make one more additional request, if the latter mod is done, would there be any chance for eventual integration into Legacy of the Dragonborn after V5 releases?

First request will get the modder banned for uploading copyrighted music from another game.

But doesn't Immersive Music or whatever it was called use Witcher tracks?

EDIT: That's why I thought it was okay to ask, I mean.

I see, I apologize.

I did a bit of looking around, and it might be okay to use Fable's music. I'm no lawyer, someone with a keener eye than mine may want to look at this.

 

I came across this https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/79289

According to the Description, and the posts, this mod is allowed. I'm unsure if that's true or not, but it has been allowed to stay for 3+ years.

 

If you don't feel like checking it, here's a link to the Rules that Microsoft have in regards to using their content.

https://www.xbox.com/en-us/developers/rules

 

If, again, too lazy. Here's some points my not so lawyer-savy eyes noticed.

 

"In order to make sure we can continue making games we love to make and you love to play, there are some Rules that apply to our license grant for your Items. It's tough to predict everything people will do, but there are some things that you can and can't do."

 

• "Except as described here, you can't sell or otherwise earn any compensation from your Item, including through advertisements in the Item. This means you can't charge money in exchange for your Item, post it on a site that requires subscription or other fees to view the Item, or post it on a page you use to sell other items or services(even if they have nothing to do with Game Content or Microsoft). You also can't use Game Content in an app that you sell in an app store."

• If the Item you create and distribute is a free app, then you must distribute it for free (you can't charge for it), and you also can’t earn any money from advertising in that app.

• You may use the Item on a page where you ask for optional donation requests.

• Once you've made and distributed your Item, anyone else using it also has to follow these rules.

• If you want to use the soundtracks or audio effects from the original game, we often license those from or to third parties and don't always have the rights to pass them on to you. If we do, we'll let you know. For example, we might mention on the community website for a particular game whether you have these rights, so you'd do well to check. If we don't let you know, you need permission from a third party, especially for games with licensed music. But we'll confirm right here that the music from Halo 3 is available for your use in non-profit ventures thanks to an arrangement with O'Donnell/Salvatori, Inc., composers of this iconic theme.

• In addition, your Items may not use the name of the Microsoft Game in their title to give the impression that Microsoft is the source of the Item, or authorized or endorsed the Item. Items that make referential use of our titles are fine, for example, “Let’s Play Forza Motorsport 5” or “Tips and Strategies for Halo 5.” Using the Game title to tag your Item on social media is fine. We also don't object to "Red vs. Blue" or "Operation Chastity". But we may object to "Halo: Covenant Strike," for example, if it could be confused as something Microsoft produced or licensed, or if it could be mistaken as an official part of the Game. We just want to make sure consumers don't get confused.

 

I've also checked who were behind the music for the Fable series.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_of_the_Fable_series

 

Majority of it is made by Russell Shaw and occasionally Danny Elfman

Label owned is "Sumthing Else Music Works" or "Sumthing Distribution"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sumthing_Distribution

Which closed down/became Defunct on the 3rd of January this year.

Again, I'm no lawyer, this is just the stuff I've personally tried researching myself.

That Menu Replacer and music might fall under "Fair Use", however, the entire Soundtrack will not.

I see.

which means you would need permission for it from Microsoft or whoever owns Fable to do so. And I dont think one would get it and even more so if they thought someone would make money off it.... which is a no no.

past that, personal use is another matter, but personal is just that. you make it for yourself and nobody else and it stays off Steam and Nexus.
Now I could be wrong too...
to lazy to go check up on laws and what not myself. sides they change from state to state and from country to country world wide...... S

Can't help but notice the only way for a post in these forums to get noticed is if they are controversial. I really wish that wasn't the case and people would use these forums more seriously.
