There is already an ambient occlusion and texture mod (alpha of course).

What do you think, maybe 6 months until Skyrim is modded into a new generation of gaming?

Great work Beth - as usual you create a phenomenal template of a game, and this amazing mod community takes it to a new level (which time constraints preclude Beth from accomplishing, obviously).

Great design philosophy! It has led to 4 of the most cherished games of all time.

When the Creation Kit is finally released the number of mods will skyrocket like crazy...

I'm scared to open the CK this time around; I'll end up spending all my time modding.

someone make a mod to get rid of finishing moves!!!

Within 10 minutes of CK release ... F5 Skyrim Nexus into oblivion

I STILL don't know how to mod. T_T

Umm... Looks like it already exists (unless you made a typo and wrote "make" instead of "made"):

Install mods ... or mod?

Modding is a combination of learning texture / mesh / scripting / etc (basically 'scripty' quick n dirty game design)

Installing mods is just drag and drop folders. (or use the excellent 'mod managers' for each respective Beth game)


I would KILL for an apt-get style mod installer I've debated writing one myself.

What's the abient occlusion mod do, what is it?

It's not really a mod per-say; just forcing AO on in the Nvidia driver.

However AO is this:
