I have to ask, that gif at the top of the page - is that from a movie and if so which one?

Ahhhh crap. I just downloaded the Open Cities mod from the Skyrim SE mod thingy thinking "oh cool open cities". So this one has those stupid gates and crap?

Improbable Lobster posted:

Doesn't his open cities mod gently caress up a ton of quests because he just copy + pasted the city interiors?

iGestalt posted:

I think there's a trap door somewhere in the city to go to it's "interior" cell so technically there are two cities on top of each other.

Bethesda modders are stupid, narcissistic fuckheads, Bethesda somehow allowed that to keep happening but now for money, and then everyone screamed a bunch and it didn't happen
Honestly it was such a complete non-starter and so much of the 'debate' was just brick walls screaming at each other in not-really-funny ways that it's best left as a lovely historical curiosity.

Pretty much this. The community had a pretty good thing going on wrt/using other people's assets until Valve and Bethesda came along and threw a gigantic poo poo-covered wrench into it.

Whoever made this seriously needs to spend less time on DeviantArt. Like, bravo for putting the work into a mod with custom followers and quests and such, but the mod description is killing me.

Rectus posted:

I'm guessing a lot of that is level designers wanting to do something, and not wanting to bother with the turnaround time of asking a programmer to implement a class for it.

wasn't new skyrim even buggier right from the get go??

As a random tangent, is it even historically accurate for German planes to have swastikas on them? I thought the military/luftwaffe had its own emblem.

IIRC there used to be a Skyrim mod that would let followers actually walk beside you instead of 30 feet behind, but it was buggy as poo poo.

On to another topic, this isn't an awesome/awful mod, but I just ran across this: https://www.moddrop.com/app/ . Is anyone familiar with it? It seems to be a new modding program that's supposed to make installing and sharing mods easier.

Oh, how loving creative Bethesda - the BCC mod files are apparently .esl files, which are just renamed .esm, which means there is literally no effort made to combat piracy.

m2pt5 posted:

No, here's the deal, from what I've been able to piece together:
- Whether you buy them or not, you get the .ba2 files for all the BCC mods on your hard drive.
- When you buy the mods, it installs and activates the appropriate .esl file.
- Reportedly, the .esl files can also be found in the .ba2 archives. So if you extract them and rename to .esm (keeping the file name the same as the .ba2) you can activate them in the launcher, and thus get the mod.

There was, but those in support of it are often far too aggressive for their own good and it backfired as expected and resulted in more protectionism, not less. That was the natural and expected response though and it's amazing nobody realized that.

For example, Grimy, a criminally underrated mod author made a written review pointing out how useless and misleading the mod and description of Duel Combat realism was here:

Beyond the abstract layer of some numbers, there is a world of interaction where the Feedback form a whole that is greater than all the elements that compose it.
Although in a unitary manner the components of this mod does not seem to do anything, the fact is that the user experience is there and proves, at least, that some reviewer have still much to learn before they understand what actually made this mod.

I got reminded of the Creation Club existance when someone posted on 4chan that their favourite "sexy" mods got taken down from the Nexus by the author. The author did it cause Bethesda asked him to "purge" his portfolio before agreeing to host his non-sexy mod on the CC.

But it's a 4chan rumour so yeah.

Dwesa posted:

It's interesting that it's ok for some companies to port their armors or whatever into other games (like Witcher armor into Skyrim), but you cannot port stuff from one Bethesda game into another. Why is that? Maybe beacuse they want to do remastered versions themselves?

IShallRiseAgain posted:

I think you also have to consider that Bethesda now just sees mods as another revenue stream. They can't sell mods with content they don't have the rights to.

The inconsistency over Tale of Two Wastelands is what's confusing. Did they just let that slip and decided not to go after it or something?

This came up in another thread, but the modern stock market is pretty much just bots trading with bots at this point. If social media, all of it, is talking about a certain company in what the algorithm determines is a positive way, stock price goes up.

Not me. Pillars of Eternity forum was teeming with them. I remember a guy just losing his loving mind about the moral fiber of Today's Kids because someone went "Hey, it would be nice if we could change our party composition in the main city in general instead of having to find an inn."

I don't really consider it ripping off, really, it's more along the lines of "incorporating the features from a well-regarded mod."

Location: England.

My wife left her laptop on at a party at a friend's house. One of her friends, apparently, booted up Skyrim and he discovered that my wife has installed quite a few NSFW mods on it.

This includes non-human enemies, such as wolves, attempting to non-consensually mate with the player.

The police seized her laptop two days ago, and this morning, she has just received a request to attend an interview at the station. They have advised that her laptop will likely not be returned until mid-2025, but if she complies with the investigation it may expedite the process.

Should she attend this interview? Is it okay for me to go with her to offer support?

My wife has quite a few rather unusual fetishes, but these arise from childhood trauma, so I usually just let her do her thing.

Additionally, the "friend" who found the Skyrim wolf stuff has been posting about it on Facebook, TikTok, Twitter, and emailing my wife's employer (who he doesn't seem to realise is actually another relative who doesn't give a poo poo.) Is there any action that can be taken against this individual?

Turpitude II posted:

didn't the uk make laws banning porn with a bunch of really common/mundane fetishes, like spanking? that aspect of this scenario strikes me as pretty believable.
