Vortex is Nexus’ mod manager. It used to be called Nexus Mod Manager.

That’s not far off, lol To me, modding in general is a bit of a vortex. I spend so much time testing mods for a game that I can’t really get into an actual playthrough before my interest shifts to another game. Round and round I go. Curse this ADD!

Organic Factions I like this one a lot. It added a much needed dynamic to Factions. I felt like the fact they only progressed/changed when I made them do so/joined and participated was very unrealistic and immersion breaking. This mod opens them up to feel much more organic and alive.

QUOTE(Pseron Wyrd @ May 28 2021, 07:32 PM) ... Modding IS the game! There is some kind of rumor going around that making a character and doing quests is "playing the game", but those of us who open Bethesda's editors before we even start our first character know that this is not the case. We know the real truth: we know that Construction Sets and Creation Kits are the only true games Bethesda has ever released. Quoted for truth.

Modern dollhouses is what my better half calls it when I start rearranging yet another interior. I do like to play with it inside the game afterwards though.

QUOTE(TheCheshireKhajiit @ Sep 15 2021, 09:20 AM) Does anyone here play with a “class” mod? I’m thinking about getting one.
Hmm, let me think. I do have Character Creation Overhaul. I don't remember exactly how it sets classes up, but it does include Classes, Starsigns, more comprehensive racial stats, and so on. There is also Third Era Attributes, which a few of us got excited about a few years back, but it's really buggy. Don't use that.

It’s not really worth having a mod for it. A class is typically a set of restrictions, whether they are “this class can’t …” or “only this class can …”, so you can just limit your character without a mod doing it.

Yeah, I was disappointed with such mods available for PS4 (which is where I play Skyrim), so I made my own, just for my character. It's a lot of work to make a generic one! It's more than just restrictions though - I tried to replicate Oblivion mechanics with some skills increasing quicker than others, depending on your class - major skills, minor skills, attributes, that sort of thing. It worked out quite well, but I only did it for the one class I was interested in - a battlemage/assassin cross. This post has been edited by Lena Wolf: Sep 15 2021, 05:24 PM

I don't really see classes as restrictions, I see them more as definitions. I like defining who and what my character is, right out of the box. Skyrim just doesn't give me enough, up front. The perk system is great for defining who our characters are to become, but I want to see more background. Some characters start off stronger, others smarter, others more crafty, and so on. Edit: Now if we're talking about the way TES 1: Arena structures classes (for instance, a Warrior cannot cast any spells for instance), or the way Elder Scrolls Online or World of Warcraft approach this, then I agree classes can be very limiting. But the way Beth's earlier single player games allow us fixed classes, or (my favorite) making our own class is what I am talking about. This post has been edited by Renee: Sep 15 2021, 10:55 PM

I've downloaded the Character Creation Overhaul with the intention of using it when I re-install Skyrim. CCO reminds me of the Daggerfall chargen.

I may have to look at that one you posted though.

Yes, I used that one on PS4 (the original version). My problem was it didn't have the class that I wanted, but it's Ok if you want to stick to one of the official classes. The mod I made for myself was based on these ideas, just for a different class.

What I was wanting to do for a particular character I’m working on was make a sort of stealthy “shadow cleric”, or basically just a tweaked Nightblade class. I used the custom class creator and it seems to work pretty good for my purposes.

I don't think there was a custom class possibility in the PS4 version, may be this is an extension for PC. I remember I had to choose an existing class... This makes all the difference.
