A developer of Oblivion remake Skyblivion, which rebuilds Bethesda’s beloved Elder Scrolls 4 using the Skyrim engine, says they have experienced death threats.

The skyrim modding landscape has got so much worse in recent years, so many mod users are so self entitled, dumb, and very demanding it's so disappointing seeing this niche area getting so much worse thanks to more and more people flocking to it
Why was it ever SO hot though? I was always blown away that so many people build and use 10k mods for a 15 year old game.
Was it like an Android customization thing? Making your perfect game? I played modded Skyrim a few times and at a certain point it just got silly.
I will plug modded Morrow-wind though. What an amazing game if you can get the graphics a little more up to par.
It's hard to say tbh, Skyrim offers a great base to mod off of, the scripting system is very strong too(only held back but slow refresh times) and tools are freely available and easy to uae to create these mods, I assume aswell the fact there's not been another TES game to pull people away and the general state of gaming over the last decade, people are going back to it
Also tons of people myself included make mod lists but never play
That unfortunately what happens when a game with mod supports gets a bit older. There's a sweet spot in modding, easier than that; dumbfucks arrive, harder than that; nobody mods and scene dies out incredibly quickly.
Minecraft sits right on the spot for example. Not too easy that any idiot can do it, and it isn't hard enough to require a CS degree to mod.
Ah yeah the modding tools being very new user friendly is defo a big thing that has lead to this, I think the lack of a new TES game and the insane explosion of high quality popular mods has brought more people into the scene too
Oh I couldn't express myself very well. I'm not complaining about the great tools; but the extremely easy installation of mods. Developers are great either way imo.
You say easy installation of mods, but an alarming large amount of people still fail to install mods correctly
Sorry, I didn't read your message as a complaint about the tools be easy, but making things accessible will defo bring in larger numbers of people, sadly :(
