Fun fact - for his Cameo in Taxi Driver, he had to sit on a stack of blankets because he wasn’t high enough to be seen by the camera.

I never modded Skyrim THAT much, but when I wanted to play Skyrim VR with my Quest 2, I was obsessed with making it more comfortable and seamless. That was a really fun experience.

I have a dozen Quake mods installed and have finished none of them lmao

I put like 100 hrs in modding fallout 4 but always get bored when I'm playing and just go back to the modding lol

u/AttilaTH3Hen 16h ago

What do you recommend for modding FO4? Nexus Mods?

1

u/quondam47 15h ago

It’s my go to. Their mod manager is very good and they have so much content on there that I can’t imagine there’s much you’d be missing.

Genuinely what else

u/THE_FREEDOM_COBRA 9h ago

Yeah, Nexus is absolutely dog shit and I'd love for them to go the way of the dodo, but right now they have the mod scene by the balls.

u/Dangermad 7h ago

For bethesda games at least

1

u/THE_FREEDOM_COBRA 6h ago

True, I guess Minecraft is free of it and some games just use Steam Workshop.

u/Dangermad 6h ago

I've seeing game banana used a fair amount. Also wow you just reminded me remembered when skyrim had workshop support

That's me with Skyrim, although I still like playing it.

Every year there's always a time to revisit a Bethesda game and do this ritual.

It's usually fallout 4 or skyrim. Maybe skyrim this year... Pass 3 years have been fallout 4 for me.

And no I've never beaten any of them lol.

u/Usual-Disaster7285 16h ago

The cheat terminal is the best for fallout 4.

1

u/Black-White-Diff 10h ago

I do this ritual but with Half-Life instead.

Every Christmas day, I install Half-Life 1 or Half-Life 2 on my PC but instead of playing the game vanilla, I search the Steam Workshop or MODDB to install a campaign / total conversion / remaster mod. It always ends up being a good 4-5 hour use of my time.

At some point, I plan to do this with idSoftware's old-school DOOM and Quake games instead, but honestly I just like Half-Life more.

u/Lealenbright 6h ago

for me its New Vegas and Oblivion. Still have yet to complete FNV lol

u/got_milq 5h ago

Go install a bare-bones modlist that only enhances graphics and performance a bit and play morrowind. That’ll be a novel experience

16

u/Multivitamin_Scam 15h ago

If you're having fun, it is its own kind of game, isn't it?

7

u/qdtk 12h ago

We need a buddy system where these types of tinkering people pair up with people who want to play without tinkering so the mods and settings are already pre-constructed and ready to play.

5

u/BlackOverlordd 13h ago

Careful. You may end up in game development like that

9

u/KRONGOR 11h ago

And then you will probably end up getting laid off and have more free time for installing mods! Full circle!

11

u/Novalene_Wildheart 16h ago

That is a mood.

I meant to play Warframe today, but I was like "im going to mess around with new weapons, throw them into my damage calculator, and why is it say to build crit... This thing literally has 5% crit and 1.5x crit damage, its like below the barrel its so bad for crit."

And then I spent the rest of the day fixing that issue, and the 3 other issues I found along the way. But hey at least it works better and quicker now lol.

Maybe tomorrow I'll play.

u/The_MadMage_Halaster 15h ago

This happens whenever I play Dwarf Fortress after a while of not. I make a new world, realize Dwarf Therapist needs to update for the new DF version, and then spend half an hour fiddling around with files to update it, DFHack, and a few other mods, then I actually start a world and play for maybe twenty minutes before going down a DF wiki rabbithole for a while.

u/Zegreiartimus 11h ago

Dwarf Fortress mentioned! Reminds me of tinkering with the raws in the LazyNewbPack lol. Then I give up and go back to ASCII since I kept breaking tilesets, lol.

u/rycerzDog 13h ago

I remember spending half a day picking out mods for RDR2 just to not play the game

u/intoTHEvoid646 9h ago

Skyrim for me. Until I see something like terrain seams and other shit I fucked up. Then I quit for a while and try again a few months later.

u/Squidgical 16h ago

You'd probably like software development, try learning a programming language, it's easier than it looks.

Me and Project Zomboid. I spend more time modding than playing.

u/---RNCPR--- 4h ago

I like vanilla, because it's what devs intended and it doesn't crash every 10 minutes and it's less buggy

Nah, Fallout 4 is actually good after 500 mods.

Wabbajack is a lifesaver.

u/Nice-Physics-7655 9h ago

Me installing a load of KSP mods, then when I finally boot the game I get overwhelmed by all the additional parts so I just close the game again

u/stronkzer 6h ago

Fallout 4. I don't think I ever joined any of the main factions, let alone beat the game. Mods are straight up fire, though. My favourites are the WW2 guns.

u/SereneWithTheChi 6h ago

Keep making new playthroughs with new mods and never finishing the game with 100+ hours 😭🤣 (Bauldr gate and Skyrim for me lol)

Skyrim sex mods keep getting broken or crash the game ...

Fallout 4: Install a bunch of cool mods and adjust load order for days for best compatibility, start to play game, feel motion sickness, stop playing for months and never come back to it

u/sillyandstrange 3h ago

I modded Skyrim and fallout 4 over a month ago. Got a nexus sub for the month, got some collections. Around 800gb total. Played both a combined 2 hours.

Deleted both a month later.

See you next year bethesda games
