sladehunt29 Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Alright, so i know i cant be the only user on here who thinks the skyrim modding has become something of a joke for a while now right? Literally every day you log in to nexus to check mods, your eyes are bashed in by dozens of new nude mods, whether skins, breast physics, sloot armors, or sloot followers, etc and so on. Its getting to be a bit disappointing hoping to see quality content like the old days brought us, like Falskaar and Immersive Weapons and Armors or dare i say it, another inigo or sophia level follower. Its getting a bit ridiculous. Im not a modder on here but i do make them and i have hundreds downloaded across multiple games as well as being in game design college. Is it an issue of imagination? Are all the best mod ideas taken or something or is that just what skyrim is is a new 'Honey Select" adult game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tritonforge Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 My own personal opinion, comparing Nexus from 5 years ago to today is that most people satiated their skyrim needs and modders don't have very much incentive. Also nexus culture is very unbrave as you'll see mods here focus on creative use of existing assets or improvements upon the base game. Try searching up non-Nexus mod communities, even the asian ones; they are still building worldspaces and creating models from scratch. I think Nexus focus is geared towards improvements (realism, detail, immersion, etc) not invention. The idea of coding is also very solidified, you'll commonly see modders say 'you don't know what it takes, it would take forever, the engine is busted, the foundation isn't there' meanwhile even places like LL and other mod sites are cracking it wide open. The biggest downside of nonNexus sites is their super inconvenient UI/UX and also language barrier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sladehunt29 Posted April 28, 2020 Author Share Posted April 28, 2020 Thats some great feedback thank you tritonforge. Ill have to do some research on the other sites. I dont know, im still an enormous Skyrim fan and play regularly and i guess mods have kept it alive for me so it was a bit disappointing to see the attention to mods going in other directions. Its entirely selfish but there you go lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tritonforge Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 (edited) Yeah not all hope is lost though. Nexus isnt dead just deader; we get great stuff like Combat Overhaul coming out recently so it's just a scarcity not an extinction haha. But also, I'll leave something like this here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_MbEoM-u6A&feature=emb_logoOnce you realize what non Nexus places are doing, yeah you'll understand Nexus is just for base game improving, not innovation at the highest levels Edited April 28, 2020 by tritonforge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
