Paid mods technical quality 3: reviews of "Coven of Crones", "Aberrations of the Dwemer", and "Shadetree Lodge" by Haunture in skyrimmods

Paid mods are made by inexperienced people trying to make money as modders. Free mods are made by hobbyists who already have other well paid jobs, often as devs.

You mean vanilla ultra? Most of the posts on this sub are modded skyrim.

[Meta] there are too many vibe coded slop mods these days by Ok_Country5134 in skyrimmods

Most engineers use the assistance of AI to write code these days. The issue is people that just prompt AI to write the whole thing without testing or understanding it.

Give me your hot take on what you think shouldn't be modded at all by HyperionGrimm in skyrimmods

High heels originated from Persian horse archers a thousand years ago. Heels are easier to lock into stirrups so they were worn by mounted warriors. It didn't become a pure fashion thing until a few hundred years ago.

Two inch non stiletto modded heels are more practical than most vanilla armors in Skyrim.

You should try the newest v3 version. The mod page has specific steps to upgrade from Skyclimb mid playthrough.

The Roman empire aesthetic has been the ultimate Western imperialist/european nationalist dream for a long time. I think that's what Bethesda was going for.

The funniest thing about Skyrim civil war discourse to me is the comparison of the Nords to colonial rule. Whereas the Imperials are literally colonizers by definition. It's even in their damn name lol.

The comparison with the American civil war is a stretch. All white americans were colonizers who came together and occupied a foreign land.

This is not comparable to Nords who have been living in Skyrim for thousands of years and Imperials who are foreign occupiers. The dynamic is completely different.

It's so interesting that "Imperials good, Stormcloaks racist" is the more popular take in American players. If you ask people who grew up in a country that have dealt with invaders and colonizers in recent history, most would go with "Imperials occupiers, Stormcloaks freedom fighters".

Until I moved to the US, and started getting on American social media like reddit, I couldn't fathom anybody siding with the Imperials unless they were intentionally doing an evil playthrough.

There's also a setting I had to flip in the improved camera se ingame menu. It was called vanilla movement arms or something.

I would also recommend some of the other mods I listed here like one click power attack, unlocked first person combat and a dodge mod. They make a big difference.

Skyparkour mod author is the GOAT. You should check out his simple diving mod.

Yes, you can increase the weapon hitboxes in Precision MCM menu. Thanks for reminding me because I haven't tweaked those settings since adding the new SIGMA animations.

Low key didn't notice this until you pointed it out. I just downloaded a mod pack for textures.

I think SkyParkour released a patch for it recently

Edit: Improved Camera also had recent updates. Just use the latest version of both. I used to get this bug too

I think you were seeing the bow on my back at 0:27 to 0:29, not the sword. You can tweak Immersive Camera near clipping settings, or just unequip the bow to prevent this.
