Categories Suggestion

[Ironman5000]

I was just browsing through all the Skyrim armour mods, looking for some to suit my characters body type, and I thought how useful it would be to set up the armours made for specific body types into categories as an additional menu;

 

Click Categories,

Click Armours,

 

Then you have another menu

 

CBBE

UNP

UNPB

ADEC

Vanilla Body

 

These are most recognised and wouldn't suggest making more to accompany future body models, at least this would create some sort of filter. I know there are ways around by typing the body type in the Armours tab or using advanced search, I just though this would be a handy feature if it's not too much trouble...it's actually how I have my mod folder structure :biggrin:

 

EDIT: UNPB could even go into UNP, and any other body adaptions would go in these 'main' sub-categories.

I'm inclined to agree.

if you didn't want to be specific to mods, you could categorize it by say...body type

ie Lush (curvy) would be cbbe i think and so on. Organizing it by the actual mods could get iffy, but this way it's pretty generic and can grow as more mods are made. (assuming they are, of course.)

The trouble is, that's about as subjective as is possible. At least with body type there is an established specific to go by.

There is generally a consensus, though. I was pretty much saying the same thing you did, just with different - probably not as clear - words. Lol.

I don't think more options would be needed than the short list I made. I'm not even sure about ADEC whether it relies on CBBE or not I never use it, if it did it would go in that category.

 

As the vanilla skyrim categories stand a few don't even reach 100 file, Vanilla Dungeons = 12 files.

 

With these sub categories it would split the 2332 files available for easier browsing, but it all depends on if the staff recognise this thread and think if it will be a valuable enough use of their time (yes :tongue: ).

in a way that's why I was thinking seperate it by body type. That way, say CBBE is taken off the nexus (god forbid.) Even with it gone (theoretically) the category it belongs to would still make sense to newcomers etc. Sometimes it's hard finding a line between being *too* organized, and not being organized enough, tho - you're right about that. (Sometimes I find myself wanting to be too organized, only to realize I'm really just making work for myself. lol...)
