the two best things about Skyrim:
-
an amazing modding community, still active after more than a decade
-
that said i didn't need mods to be a catboy, this is just built in

I have been playing The Forgotten City, which used to be a Skyrim mod and is now its own thing, but one aspect it kept in transposition was "every interactable object is fully modeled and can be rotated in your inventory to be examined from all sides". like why don't more games do that, it fuckin rules.
modeling every item independently is key to the core gameplay mechanic of Skyrim, which is walking into people's houses and FUS RO DAHing the good china
also to the supplementary minigame of picking a category of world object (e.g. skulls, gemstones, cheese wheels, meat) and collecting every one you can find in a heap in your house until the game breaks
a THIEF? you dare accuse me of theft? to that I say: yes, but, bear in mind, I can shoot lightning out of my hands
I occasionally think I want to play Skyrim again, but then I remember the nightmare of creating and maintaining The Perfect Load Order and it becomes much less appealing.
I still miss the goofily animated digitigrade Khajiit of Morrowind, but yes, cattos are the best.
I use Vortex, it makes figuring out load order pretty straightforward, although I only have about 20 mods
..."only," but, well, Skyrim.
Ooh, is Vortex good now? I remember it being pretty rough right after it was released.
I'm a maximalist when it comes to modding. My load orders for Bethesda games always ran in the triple digits. It's so hard to say no to cool things.
I haven't tried it before, I used to load mods through the Steam Workshop like some sort of rube, but it's been working fine for me.
(Er... working fine except the game crashed without warning just a couple times, but Bethesda games are like that. Also there was an infinite loop with the launcher that took a few tries to sort out - the solution was making sure the launcher exe was "run as administrator." But, you know, other than that.)
Ha. I'd completely forgotten that Skyrim has Workshop support. Apparently I'm still subscribed to Fall of the Space Core. And only Fall of the Space Core? Weird.
And yeah, Bethesda games gonna Bethesda game.
Crap. I think I'm going to start on a load order. There goes all my free time. First step, figure out if SE is still the bad one as far as modding goes.
