I’m genuinely this desperate. I’m a working dad going to college, I just started double classes, and I’ve just spent all of my free time for the last 4 days trying to figure out how to get modded Skyrim to run on my computer. I’m not good at this, nothing I do works, and all I want is to relax and do something fun for myself.
I’ll PayPal the money, it’s not much but it’s literally twice what I paid for Skyrim itself. I’m just so desperate to have something comfortable and newish.
I’d say the main reason to spend the money is simply the sheer number of mods available. For example, say you want to improve the graphics to bring it closer to today’s graphical quality. How many mods do you need to install? You need mods for models, textures, animations, and you need them for characters, enemies, animals, buildings, terrains, etc. Then you also need ENB or Community Shaders, and all the required mods. That’s easily tens or hundreds of mods just to make the game look prettier. Are you going to investigate what all mods you should install, and then download, install and configure everything one by one? With a modlist, that’s 10 euros and one click, and you get more than just prettier graphics.
Fair enough. I don’t usually bother with graphics mods, I tend to stick with gameplay mods, which aren’t that hard to configure correctly. But if I decide to give Skyrim a fresh coat of paint I’ll definitely look into mod packs more.
That is entirely valid reason to not using a modlist. Little reason paying 10 euros to install couple tens of mods.
