Fun With Modding!

In my personal experiences with modding, I know it can be quite frustrating. I'm not even talking about the actual modding aspect of creating something from scratch or re-texturing things although that in itself is more difficult that adding mods to a game. Sometimes though it's easy to get frustrated with adding mods to a game. Take for instance Elder Scrolls: Skyrim. I've recently gotten into adding mods to the game, which is quite easy thanks to a handy little mod manager. Trying to get all of them working properly is a nightmare at times as well.

Don't be discouraged though, a monkey could add mods to a game, it's simple! For instance, yesterday I spent half of my day compiling the best textures into one huge texture mod. I got the biggest, best looking textures all together and it came to be 5 gigabytes of data. Holy crap. The thing is it looks BEAUTIFUL. Here are some screenshots of my modded Skyrim.






Although there are times where you get something unexpected when you mod a game... like this.

Don't worry everyone, he's alright. He's be excavated and is out chopping wood and working for Belethor again. Also, this is just one part of the game that most everyone is quite familiar with. This is all in and around the city of Whiterun. Such a beautiful city in my mind, still doesn't beat Solitude though. Since recently I've packed up my stuff and moved to Solitude. So all in all, modding isn't a scary thing to do and it can greatly increase the fun of any game. I'm looking forward to what wonderful things people will make with the Torchlight 2 modding tools that should come out pretty soon. Maybe later today or tomorrow I'll post a few more Skyrim screenshots that one of my friends took, if he lets me of course, but for now I'm going to get back to the land of Skyrim.
