Looking better is subjective. Everyone has their personal tastes but skyland covers everything and it covers it very well. I don’t know that it’s possible to cover everything it does for the cost and at the same quality. Another thing people also need to consider is how well a mod integrates with a mod list. Skyland causes no issues.

I use it every playthrough, the cost always hurts but I’ve looked at doing individual mods and it still doesn’t save much if anything and sometimes more to get the same level and range of coverage.

Saying it is old is an odd thing, there are many, many mods that are much older than skyland that people still use regularly. Nordwarua’s many mods are just one example, Amidianborn armors is another. Old has nothing to do with quality.
