johnni Posted May 30, 2016 Posted May 30, 2016 If I buy Skyrim via Steam, and then install mods, will other people with whom I'm friends on steam be able to see any of the mods I have installed? I am friends with relatives and coworkers on Steam and I don't want them to see that I'm installing sexy mods from here- it would be embarassing!
JobiWanUK Posted May 30, 2016 Posted May 30, 2016 Pretty sure all they see is 'yourname' is playing Skyrim.
Guest Posted May 30, 2016 Posted May 30, 2016 No. Mods are not visible to your Steam friends. Neither DLCs. Only the amount of time played and the achievements are.
bjornk Posted May 30, 2016 Posted May 30, 2016 Doubt it, but don't want to speak too sure, as there's always potential security holes and one of them might expose the mods you're subscribed to on Steam Workshop. Probably not the case for locally installed mods, such as LL mods.
Arthacs Posted May 30, 2016 Posted May 30, 2016 Just make sure u dont share any screenshots that pop up in a Steam window if u hit F12 or INS or whatever the hotkey is
Kaz Aanh Posted May 30, 2016 Posted May 30, 2016 Don't forget to turn off broadcasting, otherwise someone might jump in to see how are you doin and find your darkest fetishes instead.
myuhinny Posted May 30, 2016 Posted May 30, 2016 Mods no they can't see them but they might be able to see screenshots though not sure as I have no one in my fl.
chestcraft Posted June 1, 2016 Posted June 1, 2016 If you use a ENB be careful. To disable and Enable it using hotkeys you need to press F12 which is also the key to take screenshots unless you change it.
BlueLight Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 You will be safe. The only way they can know what mods you're using, is if they have your computer/HD or possibly by checking on mods you've subscribed to on and only on steam. The solution, don't use steam's horrible mod system. When you "subscribe" to a mod on steam, i believe it adds you to a public list of people that subscribe to that mod which your friends can look at. However this only applies to mods gotten from steam(which you shouldn't do). There is no public list if you go to a 3rd party site like Lovers or Nexus and your friends can't see what mods are in your data folder.
windu190 Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 If you use a ENB be careful. To disable and Enable it using hotkeys you need to press F12 which is also the key to take screenshots unless you change it. iirc people won't even see your screenshots unless you upload them.
youbetterwork Posted June 13, 2016 Posted June 13, 2016 When you subscribe to a mod on Steam, you can zip it and then load it into MO or NMM, and then you should immediately unsubscribe on Steam.
Kuロi Posted July 11, 2016 Posted July 11, 2016 The only danger is them being annoyed at you starting up Skyrim 40 times a day because you're testing mods and the message of you playing it keeps popping up.

zlota Posted July 12, 2016 Posted July 12, 2016 I have encountered different issue.I bought Skyrim LE few years ago, but I have never instaled even played it. I have cracked wersion, mostly because i don't like launchers and steam file structure (steam/steamapps/...). Since then I haven't bought any other game until November when I bought F4.A few weeks ago I noticed that Steam records how many hours I've played in Skyrim. Game is marked as not installed, no achievements are recorded just playing time.How is it even posible?PS: Sorry for my english.
Guest Posted August 18, 2016 Posted August 18, 2016 Make soon three years i use mods now on Skyrim and i has never been annoyed by steam and no one can see your sexy modded skyrim excepted of course if you upload your screenshots.

Guest Posted August 18, 2016 Posted August 18, 2016 ayyyyyy be like me.. i have no friends hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

winny257 Posted August 21, 2016 Posted August 21, 2016 ayyyyyy be like me.. i have no friends hahahahahahahahahahahahaha no friends??? the joke is good! I count 9 friends in his list.
miharuhops Posted August 27, 2016 Posted August 27, 2016 This makes me laugh a bit, no to your answer but, BUT if you do make sure you turn off the streaming broadcast or EVERYONE can watch you play lol. also read steams info on that pretty sure they dont like anything lewd on any public stream
CongenialVirus Posted September 23, 2016 Posted September 23, 2016 If I buy Skyrim via Steam, and then install mods, will other people with whom I'm friends on steam be able to see any of the mods I have installed? I am friends with relatives and coworkers on Steam and I don't want them to see that I'm installing sexy mods from here- it would be embarassing! They can see your time played. But your load order is not visible. HOWEVER. Do not upload a screenshot of anything embarrassing. They COULD see that IF they looked. So, don't hit confirm when prompted after you screen shot a picture of a woman with shitting dick nipples. EDIT: Someone also mentioned not subscribing in the steam workshop. Fuck that crap. Use MO if you aren't already, or are starting a new play-through. I migrated, and it was the best idea ever. http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/1334/? And a guide. I really don't think this violates any rules. Gamer poets has really been a boon to me when I first started using MO.
Backupfly Posted January 11, 2017 Posted January 11, 2017 Well, I was just playing today, and a friend writes "careful you dont make your eyes bleed in skyrim there". I instantly go to Steam Settings, open the 'Broadcasting' tab, and what do you know? Friends can watch my games. Did this friend see me gameplay? Dunno. Technically I should have gotten a request notification. The comment just seems like too much of a coincidence. So do yourselves a service, and be sure to disable broadcasting. Probably go offline for good measure. Avoid a bit of embarrassment.
