The Awesome Mod Thread Options

[Colonel Mustard]

We have our thread for useful and practical mods. We have our thread for pretty mods. This is the thread to cap off the grand mod trilogy, and it is the thread for mods that are not necessarily practical nor pretty, but are instead awesome.

For me, these mods are:

Moonpath to Elsweyr - Where you can travel to Elsweyr. And it's so very pretty.
Here there be Monsters - A mod which puts what are basically Kaiju into the sea of ghosts for some ultra-hard boss battles, as well as adding some ship captains and traumatised survivors
Space Wiking Dwemer Exoskeleton - Because there's nothing more badass than beating up dragons in a robotic exoskeletons and if you say otherwise I will so fight you!
Midas Magic - Technically this one could probably go into the Foundation Mods thread as all it really does is add some new spells; doesn't seem that impressive on the surface, but it makes the cut because one the spells summons angry bees to attack the enemy, and that makes me think of both Eddie Izzard and Bioshock. Eddie Izzard and Bioshock are two good things.
WARZONES - Civil Unrest in Skyrim - Actually gets a proper Civil War going with randomly occurring battles here and there between Stormcloaks and Imperial Legionaries, with the option to tweak how often they happen.

That's all I've got for now (kind of have to run), but if you have any other really, really cool mods, be they fun quests, badass weapons, spectacular spells or anything else that you think fits the definition of 'awesome' stick them up here.

SubRosa, that armor does indeed look Divine. As if blood spatter dare not settle upon it!

I found a few mods to inject some seasonal cheer into Jerric’s Skyrim. I’ll deactivate the mods and delete all of the holiday saves after New Life Festival to prevent future issues, but I haven’t had any while playing so far.

The gang lives at Lakeview (Aravi ) Manor while they are staying in Skyrim, so trips to Whiterun are a frequent occurrence. Plus they have access to Breezehome in Abiene’s game. Normally I use Dawn of Whiterun to give the city a little pizzazz, but I’ve turned that one off for the holiday season in favor of Towns and Villages Enhanced – Whiterun Snow Beta. Then I installed Saturalia – Christmas in Skyrim which adds lots of decorative touches and some fun Saturalia goodies. While this mod does not mention Christmas except in the title, it is not for lore extremists. (Those little strands of lights are chips of Welkynd stones. If that makes your eyes roll, you should skip this one. )

I enjoy the decorations and seasonal cheer, but I will not be pursuing the “Father Saturalia” quest to the North Pole that is mentioned in the description. Instead my crew will likely take a leisurely trip around the province visiting friends and enjoying the season (with plenty of roadside slayage of course), also with me using the console command to make it snow on them pretty much all of the time.

Another one that adds simple decorations is Christmas Lanterns. I’m going to add it for New Life Festival to make the towns even brighter. Then when the hangovers have receded a simple uncheck of the box cleans everything up. In theory.

Oh, and the Saturalia mod offers a way to remove the decorations while keeping all of the goodies that your characters received over the holidays. We’ll see.

The above is probably more fun than awesome, but I didn't think we really needed another thread. Hope it was OK to include it in this one.
