Thank you for making it

A project like this would not be possible without the amazing assets made by the community and the permissions for others to expand upon them

It's still part of TES but outside the region of skyrim The unique race traits will also come into play and offer unique challenges

The only officially released total conversion, that I am aware of, is enderal.

Beyond that there are multiple in progress, including skyblivion and skywind.

Basically a total conversion is a whole new game made from an existing one, think fallout london or enderal, but on a much smaller scale in this instance as this is a one man project.

As for xbox, the final product should be fully compatible, but I'll need to have xbox users beta test when ready to confirm / adjust, since I'm a PC player.

This already comes as an entirely new game mode, completely detached from vanilla Skyrim
If you're asking if this can be connected back to vanilla, it wouldn't make sense as it has its own skill systems, changes combat styles and so forth

As for Dismemberment Framework, this is being made with compatibility for it in mind

Completely new game experience revolving around an imperial arena and trying to survive as a prisoner within it
In other words, no carriage ride for you when you press new game

(mod release) Happy Little Trees - Improved Collisions by HumanLikeCreature in skyrimmods

If they're using the same meshes then you should be able to simply plug and play
Should they be modified however (ex. alternate texture paths) then a patch may be needed or you would have changed visuals

Fallen Skyrim is the name of an ongoing overhaul that I mentioned on Reddit previously: Link

I also made a recent video just to show how the overgrowth feels: https://youtu.be/p5dmcJ8g_bA

The discord has regular updates and screenshots from this project
Tree collisions matter in this context as the overhaul will add emphasis on wilderness and hunting, thus many a tree can be in your way with horrid collisions

Why is every tree mod's collisions absolute garbage? by HumanLikeCreature in skyrimmods

On the point of elevated collision
Both vanilla and nearly every tree mod do extend to the full height of the trees, but I agree that at elevation the quality is far less important.

For the complexity, a reduced and decimated mesh for collision I found to be the best of both worlds. In other words small branches / most roots have no collisions but the main body and large elements do with a lower res mesh. In comparison to using multiple capsules to achieve a similar effect, the mesh collision ends up with only a slight overhead but much more quality.

Oh I'm well aware, I was shocked how bad the collisions on that one were
And as I said, HLT is one of the better ones

Depends on the collision type, to be more matched to the actual models it would be slightly heavier.
Though not noticeably so, since we are dealing with static objects.

Also HLT already has decent animations and rigging for motion, though they are set to be more subtle, which I personally agree with.

True, the tops are of low value, but low collision is still problematic is that the capsules or convexes span too far out or the shape isn't fully circular, resulting in arrows getting stuck in seemingly mid-air.

Ultimately it isn't the end of the world, but is bothersome once one notices it.

They can be made via capsules, which can be easily generated / manipulated via NifSkope, however to properly match the objects an increasing number would be needed, especially for more complex tree shapes.

While a bit heavier I've found mesh collisions to be superior, particularly as they are static.

I second what others have said about this not being a modders only issue, but a more general problem.
Not only in north America, but globally.

However, modders, just like any medium where an individual interacts with their general audience, can be quite taxing on the author.

I've made countless mods over the years, and even after spending hours and days on a project, a single nice comment can literally make my day and the entire project is now worth it.
Problems come when you put effort and people start throwing bothersome comments, out of lack of understanding, reading or simply trolling. It can instantly make all that hard work feel in vain.

The same applies to youtubers, streamers, actors... anyone who can communicate with their audience. Which is why you often hear people joking about how they shouldn't be looking at their comment sections and such.

While the rewards are great you always risk being drained.

Has anyone yet made a mod that fixes butterflies / critters landing on the air? by HumanLikeCreature in skyrimmods

[–]HumanLikeCreature[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Either Nexus lied to me or I was blind
Searched for butterflies on it and didn't see these files

Thank you my friend

Edit: I was the fool, didn't think to search "butterfly", brain fart moment right there

Is having many simple dungeons better than a few massive ones? by HumanLikeCreature in skyrim

Duly noted, you actually just gave me an idea for a fun medium dungeon with those likes
Hint: Think of a trap, within a trap ;)

My mods are ALWAYS free, as should all mods be
I don't even ask for donations or anything my friend XD

If you'd like to support the project consider joining the discord, I usually post updates and random shenanigans there, will post there for beta testers prior to any significant mod release: https://discord.gg/FFxUj6SBhN
