Monsto Brukes Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 I've been so caught up the last . . . YEAR AND A HALF . . . just playing with my tits. I've been so focused on body meshes w/bbp and all that shit that I've not seen jack in the way of real game mods. Personally, I consider body meshes/outfits/bbp, perk and skill fixes, spells, missions/dungeons, Tropical Skyrim, SkyMoMod, stuff like that . . . they are enhancements. You play the game, they enhance the game... but they don't truly 'change the game' ...literally or metaphorically. So I was playing around the other day with "Home Construction and Decoration" (links later) and the author mentioned "Tundra Defense" Hmm... what's that. It's a tower defense sub-game with your standard Real Time Sim game elements. Apparently the author built the precursor to this in New Vegas (Wasteland Defense maybe?) and this is a port-and-then-some. From what I've played of it so far (i'm probably breaking it with Ulitmate Follower Overhaul and other mods) it seems as if it falls in the category of "modifications" that use Skyrim simply as a framework. It's not intended to be a stand alone game, but you could absolutely start a fresh brand new game with 7 gp in your pocket and start playing Tundra Defense wtihout ever having sniffed the vanilla game. I may try that. There's a couple others that I saw similar to this... Tundra Defense: Defend against raids, loot the bodies, sell the stuff, make buildings, attract citizens, earn taxes, increase the difficulty. Rinse, repeat. I've had problems with the chars, but I'm probably breaking it with my installed mods. RTS for Skyrim Poket Empire Builder Skyrim RTS Realm Army Wars: Unfinished. I couldn't really see what the author was trying to do, but he seems to be going for an RTS between Imperial, Stormcloak and Thalmor, which could be an interesting rock/paper/scissors scenario. Home Construction & Decoration: Build a house, put some shit in it. Came out before Hearthfire DLC. So I can see this stuff sucking up all my time if i can get Tundra Defense working. First question: What other RTS mods are out there that you know of? And then the big quesiton:Are there any skyrim mods (besides these RTS types) that use skyrim as more of a framework and change the game without requiring anything of the character or the world? Mods like Helgen Reborn and the like are great, but they're still essentially addons/enhancements. I'm talking about beyond that. Along that line, I was thinkin about the ancient Apple 2 game Taipan and it's downline successor Dope Wars on mobile. They're basically travelling mercantile games. I was wondering how well a 'live action' version could translate to skyrim? I even wrote a design doc for it... Link to comment

redeyesandlonghair Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 I'm pretty sure you listed all the RTS type mods that exist for Skyrim currently. Best I can offer is Civil War Overhaul, though that technically doesn't fit you request completely. Link to comment

TDA Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 What do you call real mods? Is this - mindless slashing, endless houses and other trash? In my opinion the REAL MOD is branched quest for 15 hours of gameplay.Of course with quality voice acting and dialogues, as DoA for Oblivion: http://tamriel.ru/index.php?id=7roadsmod/7roadsmod For Skyrim no REAL MODS.

Shade115 Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 I forget the names of them but there are about 2-3 mods in development that match what you want Link to comment

He actually defined very specifically what he means by "real mods". Try reading all those words he typed. :| Don't worry, the thread title almost got me too excited as well... beware the impulse to post hastily! Link to comment

Try reading all those words he typed. :| Well, as I wrote, slashing and houses ... ... You just have not played DOA, this can be called a separate game, humor, quality of gameplay, quests, puzzles, voice acting, effects (and scripting) are even higher than that of Bethesda ... This is a serious work of educated people, not a pathetic odd job. I do not know, maybe I have excessive demands. but I am so always ... Link to comment
D_ManXX2 Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 I currently use RE Real Estate http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/37774 It is far from finished but allows you to role play buying real estate across skyrim. Link to comment
johnnyboy88 Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 You mean mods likeWyrmstooth and Falskaar? Link to comment

I went to that site but couldn't make heads or tales of it. Everything is in Russian. I found the mod on nexus but I think that's an old version. Have they translated into English yet? If so, could you give us the links we need to download? thx Link to comment

Hmm I don't think I ever finished Oblivion either and yep same reason . so for a few hours a week I play skyrim on the xbox. Link to comment
R0R0N0 Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Fine! You caught me, I was the one browsing the manhood accessories section for so long. Sue me! Seriously though, I think that's what threw me into modding in the first place, I wanted the get the same look as Elissa the ice elf from Oblivion. Link to comment

Monsto Brukes Posted September 28, 2013 Author Share Posted September 28, 2013 You mean mods like Wyrmstooth and Falskaar? Those are good mods, I've checked them out. . . But no (= that's not what I meant. Between those mods and what I'm talking about, it's kinda splitting hairs. They are however still RPG adventure games in the Elder Scrolls universe. Tundra Defense is a whole different game that depends on nothing from the vanilla game. Link to comment

Looks like they released the final version only this month so hopefully, they'll translate it. Just the text (not voice) would suffice. Link to comment
