A game based on a universe that was created by a pantheon of various powerful Gods, many of which have extremely dubious morals. A game in which the mortal world was created through trickery, deciet, and manipulation? Surely these core things alone would be enough to make a christian run a mile?

Out of interest, as a Christian, why do play a game heavily based around things such as gods, demons, magic, religion? Surely these things are in direct contrast to your faith?

No, it's a video game for goodness sake. You might as well take out any violence, stealing, magic, shouts, and so on since the Bible goes against all of those.

Seriously, people, what do you care what the OP wants?
Dude came in here to request a mod. Whatever it is that he's requesting, it is none of your business what he ask, or to question why. This is no different from anyone requesting guns, or alchemy re-balance, or nvde models, multiplayer, etc.

Fact is, the game can be totally converted to something totally different on the same setting, and be highly entertaining, just like it was done with Oblivion.
What he asks for, it is not difficult to do, just tedious and requires the construction set.

Hi. I am currently attempting to locate mods for Skyrim that make the game more appropriate for Christian audiences and family. Does anyone know if any of the following exist in mod form or are planned to be made?

1) Mod to remove sixual innuendo in dialogue and references to prostitution
2) Mod to remove immodest clothing and partial nudity (male and female)
3) Mod to restrict marriage options available in game
4) Mod to remove positive references to demons and demonic influence in game
5) Mod to remove profane dialogue in game.

I enjoy this game very much but was shocked at certain aspects about it that I learned through research.

Thank you for your time,
Jonathan
1. There's not that much of that in this game. As much as you'd hear walking on the street.
2. There's not a lot of this either, unless you consider cleavage and legs revealing.... or you think a bathing suit is nudity.
3. This is why people don't like us. :facepalm: You don't like gay marriage but don't mind murdering people.
4. There are no demons in this game. Daedra aren't demons. Just like the nine aren't our Christian God.
5. No more than what you'd hear on the street. Seriously.....

Funny

I can't think of a more pagan friendly series of games.

And I don't mean pagan in the 'Christians just demonized my religion' kind of pagan either. I mean pagan in the sense of a pantheon of light and dark, ritual practice, ceremonies. pacts with these same entities. The hero is not some paladin but rather the one who will have the highest kill count. A game that has most of the guild quests involving you in anything but moral behavior [trying to avoid spoilers]

Thank you - thank you Bethesda for not making this game like Oblivion where what is seen as light versus dark is so childish (ooh watch out everyone hell is invading ... with battering rams that look like buildings ... if only a savior would sacrifice himself).

Thank you for making the pantheon make more sense.

Now if only they could distance themselves from Tolkien like they have from several Christian overlays.

The fact that the OP referenced same-six marriage (indirectly) but did not even bring up the issue of violence means this is a definite, if awesome, piece of trolling. Well done.

It is a Pagan game with Pagan Gods. Mods are going to be introduced to enhance game-play, add items/quests, etc etc. What you are asking for is taking things out that you (or other religious people) don't agree with or find distasteful. It is interesting to note that we don't see people from other religions (or non-religions) asking for the same, even as far back as Morrowind. I've seen the request before from Christians for Oblivion, but even that failed quickly.

Given that your changes very likely won't happen (other than the rare child-friendly mod), you should probably accept the game and its world for what it is, and move on. Religious-specific mods weren't done for Morrowind, they weren't done for Oblivion. Extremely likely none will be done for Skyrim. I cannot see anyone removing Daedra or their ilk for any good reason - it would utterly break the game's lore and back-story.

Perhaps a better suggestion for you would be: realize that you are playing a game, meant to suspend belief and place you in a fantasy realm where your version of reality doesn't exist. You need to place your religion on hold while you play, or don't try to immerse yourself in the Elder Scrolls world. There is no Christianity there, and there never will be.

Might be a good idea to lock the thread now too, since religious discussion in public forums rarely goes in a positive direction.

There are literally 0 demonic references in Skyrim. The Daedra are not anything like 'Demons' in Christian Dogma, neither are the Divines anything like 'God'.

Making Skyrim conform and become a 'Christian' RPG would be impossible, too many storyline elements are heavily based in real world paganism and the occult.

Why is it a troll thread? Because you say so?

Look, I am not even close to what anyone would consider religious, not even close, but I can see where the OP saw total conversion mods like Nehrim and Alderan for Oblivion, and thought it possible that Skyrim could be modified to that extent with certain preferences, whatever those preferences are.

Thanks all. I found somebody who is willing to help me out. I also learned the marriage issue is only a problem if I obtain a specific item which I don't need to get during the game, and I can avoid most of the swearing if I stay out of certain cities.

Is there a way I can cancel this thread?

Ask for it to be locked and a moderator will come and close the thread. I guess you just did that.

Thanks for not singling out gay marriage, by the way. The whole deal with marriage is very awkward in this game, and would've required parental guidance no matter how much of it you censor.

Moderators must be asleep...

And to contribute something...

Dialogue will be the most difficult to do as it is all voiced, so it would require finding those audio files and editing them. Too much work for a tiny gain. Someone once asked for such a mod in oblivion, and as you can imagine, it never was made.

As a game based on choice, why do you want a mod to remove some of these things? Don't agree with gay marriage, then don't get married to the same gender. Don't like demons (which arent really, but for the sake of the argument) kill them all whenever you see them and refuse to partake in their quests.

And what clothing is revealing? All I can think of is Nocturnal's thingie. But that is a Daedric Prince, so that goes along with what i said above.

this.
sorry op, but its very likely that you are a troll, they are common on the internet.
if you were serious i would take every response here and prove us wrong by making your 'christian friendly mod'
just remember that you will destroy this games lore, instead of doing the christian thing, acceptance.

Yes, with a small "!" button right under your name, report to moderators and ask for lock. :)

I'm a Christian, and none of these things offends me, but I can tell the difference between a game and real life. Too many "Christians" I've met can't. Maybe your proposed audience isn't intelligent enough to be exposed to radical ideas like men and women having six.
Exactly. It's a role-playing game, not reality. As a Catholic, I'm not bothered by Skyrim or any other game because that's all they are, games for fun.

But I do wish you luck in the mods you're searching for OP, that's the greatest thing about these games, you can customize them a you like.

I would like to say that the Marriage system is severely borked beyond anything to do with gay marriage. After all, basically finding the item and pointing to a potential spouse and saying "You're the one. Marry me" is not exactly courtship.

I don't think anyone will make a mod that removes daedra, gods, freedom of marriage, kid trying to contact murderers through ritual, tavern wench outfit, and other stuff. I believe there is a mod regarding the tavern wench outfit but it just makes it even more sixual.

TES isn't really a "christian family" kind of series.
