News from The Elder Scrolls Nexus

Morrowind is turning 20 today! To celebrate this anniversary, our good friend [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/users/19250]darkelfguy[/url] is running a special edition of his yearly Morrowind May Modathon and we're also giving away fabulous prizes in our Morrowind quiz!
[line]
Did you know that our site started out as a fansite for The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind? That's right, and that was back in 2001 when the site launched under the name "Morrowind Chronicles" in anticipation of and leading up to the game's release exactly 20 years ago - 1 May 2002.

Ever since, Morrowind modding has been a staple of our site and the community for this classic RPG is going strong to this very day. It's because of this fact that we're today celebrating the 20th anniversary of TES III: Morrowind. As part of the celebrations, we've come up with a short quiz which is suitable for everybody regardless of whether you've played Morrowind or not - as long as you know a thing or two about Elder Scrolls lore!

Morrowind May Modathon[/b]

But that's not all, like every year [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/users/19250]darkelfguy[/url] is running another Morrowind May Modathon and, given the occasion, you can bet it's a special one. Please, [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/users/19250]darkelfguy[/url], take it away:

[quote]Morrowind's 20th anniversary is finally upon us, and to celebrate this momentous occasion, today I'm once again announcing the eighth annual Morrowind May Modathon Month Modding Competition, one of the biggest annual modding competitions in The Elder Scrolls modding community. Returning on May 1st, the Modathon will once again run throughout the entire month of May, and as always, participating Morrowind mods will have a chance to win a slew of prizes and unlock any of a number of new achievements as they try and become the ultimate modding champions of 2022!
 
The last few years have been absolutely massive for the Morrowind modding community, with over a thousand new mods released each year, including over 1200 mods released just in 2021! And about 236 of those were from last year's Modathon! But of course, for Morrowind's big 20th anniversary, we're looking to beat that record, and to that end, we once again have over 70 achievements for modders to unlock, for everything from overhauling a town, to building a cozy little house mod, to creating entire new gameplay mechanics, and much, much more! Unlock as many as you can!
 
In addition to achievements, this year we're also introducing optional themed weekly challenges that will run alongside the Modathon. Can you make a mod to match each theme? New achievements and prizes await for those who take up the challenges!
 
Participation is simple, any Morrowind mod released in May can be entered into the competition, just remember to include a tagline "Part of the May Modathon Month" (or the [url=https://i.imgur.com/QCrTidp.png]Modathon logo[/url]) near the top of your mod's description, or use the Modathon 2022 tag to enter your mod as part of the competition. You'll be automatically entered to potentially win one of our weekly random-drawing prizes, and of course unlock achievements!

Mod your way to fame and glory in the biggest modding event of the year, and help celebrate one of the greatest games ever made! The best games never die, so get out there, have fun, and build a ton of mods to make this great game even better than ever before!

The competition runs from May 1st (12am GMT) through to June 2nd (12pm GMT), and you can find out more about how to participate, along with a complete list of achievements, [url=https://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/11354453-morrowind-may-modathon-month-2022-celebrating-20-years-of-morrowind/]over on the official announcement thread![/url] [/quote]
[b]More Nostalgia![/b]

If you're now thinking "an anniversary quiz and the modathon are great, but I want MORE Morrowind" then [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/users/1233897]Danae[/url] has got you covered. Over the last few months, Danae has [url=https://www.reddit.com/r/Morrowind/comments/sbm78x/20_years_of_morrowind_20_years_of_memories/]collected many stories from avid Morrowind players[/url] - you may call them memories - and, with the help of [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/users/109130978?tab=user+files]XeroFoxx[/url] who did the visual work, combined them into an equally impressive and nostalgic booklet.

Here's a sneak preview, but if you want to see the full thing then keep your eyes peeled on [url=https://twitter.com/nexussites]our social media[/url] where we'll be posting the link to the entire booklet once it's finished.

[i]UPDATE: The site hosting the [url=https://mw.thenet.sk/]full booklet is now live and can be viewed here[/url].[/i]

Moreover, Danae has been putting in an incredible amount of work into both a [url=https://danaeplays.thenet.sk/]mod author interview series[/url], as well as [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kXMC2wI9IOw&list=PL_JwI1LLI9f-ROQIvNYoIzM9_ZUsCCVa-]a podcast on YouTube[/url] - talking to various mod authors about their experience with Morrowind.

A huge thank you goes out to you both, Danae and darkelfguy, for showing and sharing your love for Morrowind to this day. It's not only the game that really put our site on the map, but we're also proud that even in 2022 the Morrowind modding community is still going so strong.

Thank you to all the mod authors and everyone who is still wandering Vvardenfell, in other words, playing and modding Morrowind even two whole decades after its initial release!

As some of you may already be aware, the [url=https://bethesda.net/en/article/2RXxG1y000NWupPalzLblG/sunsetting-the-bethesda-net-launcher-and-migrating-to-steam]Bethesda.net launcher is being shut down next month[/url] and players are being offered the chance to migrate their games and other content to Steam. 

The Creation Kit - the official SDK for creating Skyrim and Fallout 4 mods - could only be acquired exclusively through this launcher which would of course be a problem for new modders once the service is taken offline. 

Luckily, Bethesda has already made both the [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1946160/Fallout_4_Creation_Kit/]Fallout 4[/url] and [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1946180/Skyrim_Special_Edition_Creation_Kit/]Skyrim Special Edition[/url] versions of the Creation Kit freely available on Steam. You can add them to your library by clicking on the banners below. 

[url=steam://run/1946180][img]https://staticdelivery.nexusmods.com/mods/2295/images/26/26-1650965321-979059667.jpeg[/img][/url]
[url=steam://run/1946160][img]https://staticdelivery.nexusmods.com/mods/2295/images/26/26-1650965316-232923150.jpeg[/img][/url]

I have been able to confirm with Bethesda that both of these Creation Kit builds are compatible with the Steam and Xbox (PC) versions of their respective games. You should not need the Steam version exclusively to use these tools. However, it is unclear whether the CK will work seamlessly with the Virtual Reality versions of the games as modding for Skyrim VR and Fallout 4 VR is not officially supported by Bethesda.

The Fallout 4 Creation Kit appears to be much the same as the version offered by the Bethesda launcher, however, the version for Skyrim SE has been updated from 1.5.73 to 1.6.438.0. The update includes the following changes:

[quote][list]
[*]Now able to save an arrow's weight at 0
[*]Memory leak fix
[*]Now able to change weapon form's "unequip sound"
[/list][/quote]
This, unfortunately, means that the new version is no longer compatible with the fantastic [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/20061]SSE CreationKit Fixes[/url] by [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/users/4995023]Nukem[/url]. I spoke with Nukem earlier today who said he doesn't currently have the time to update CK fixes but is welcoming any assistance from contributors on the [url=https://github.com/Nukem9/SkyrimSETest/tree/master/skyrim64_test/src/patches/CKSSE]project GitHub page[/url]. 

If you're using this addon, make sure to make a backup of the current Creation Kit files found in your Skyrim game folder (listed below) or use the [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/67096/]Creation Kit Downgrade Patcher[/url] by [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/users/17252164]Halgari[/url]. 

[list]
[*]Tools (entire folder)
[*]Papyrus Compiler (entire folder)
[*]lex (entire folder)
[*]Data\Scripts.zip
[*]CreationKit.exe
[*]CreationKit.ini
[*]flowchartx64.dll
[*]p4com64.dll
[/list]
Kudos to [url=https://nexusmods.com/users/615835]Otellino[/url] for the list. 

It's important to keep in mind that this is [b]not an automatic update[/b], so there's no reason to overreact! If you have the version from Bethesda.net you do not need to download the Steam version. However, if you ever need to reinstall Creation Kit, Steam will be the only option from 11 May 2022 onwards.

As a reminder, you will also be able to migrate any games from the Bethesda.net launcher to Steam starting tomorrow (27 April 2022). You can read more about the migration process on [url=https://bethesda.net/en/article/2RXxG1y000NWupPalzLblG/sunsetting-the-bethesda-net-launcher-and-migrating-to-steam]Bethesda's website[/url]. 

Without mod authors sharing their creations our modding community wouldn’t exist. As you know, many mod authors put countless hours into their mods, maintaining documentation for users, and supporting their mods. It’s because of this fact that, over the years, we’ve added a number of ways for users to say “thank you” by donating to their favourite mod author - be it through our [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/about/donation-points/]mod rewards system[/url], the donation options we provide (donation button on the mod page), or by allowing mod authors to link to a (monthly) subscription/donation service (such as Patreon or Ko-fi) on their mod pages and user profiles.

Lately, we’ve been seeing more and more mod authors linking to such monthly subscription services on their mod pages. While that - as far as we and our rules are concerned - is not a problem in and of itself, we do ask mod authors to adhere to our [url=https://help.nexusmods.com/article/77-donation-options-guidelines]donation guidelines[/url]. The gist of these guidelines is that if you want to link to your Patreon (or similar monthly or one-off donation service) then it must not advertise monetisation of modding or modding related content/services in any way.

At the same time, let us be clear that we are not the “Patreon police” - if you want to go ahead and attempt to monetise modding on another service then that is up to you. We cannot and don’t want to stop you. However, in that case you must not link to it on Nexus Mods and neither may you link to a Discord server (or similar) where monetisation of mods is discussed or advertised. 


[b]Why can’t I monetise and link my Patreon/other service and advertise it on my Nexus Mods page?[/b]

Now, some of you might be asking “why?” and it’s the purpose of this news post to answer this. 

We are not in principle against the idea of mod authors earning money through their work if it’s sanctioned and deemed legal for example via the game’s EULA or statements made by the game developers.

However, what we have increasingly been observing recently and what we are concerned about is the way some people are trying to monetise modding while operating in a grey area, sometimes abusing our site and their Nexus Mods mod page as a stepping stone towards profiting off paywalled content. 


[b]What do we mean by “monetising modding”?[/b]

[list]
[*]Offering mods, files, updates, or technical support in exchange for donations
[*]Early access to files, updates etc. in exchange for donations/payments
[*]Stretch goals for the creation/development of mods (“I’ll make XYZ when we reach $1,000”)
[*]Allowing donors to request mods/files/updates in exchange for donations
[/list]

We think that this sort of monetisation is ultimately bad for the modding community as a whole because it incentivises withholding the best content (for example, significant updates) while keeping a Nexus Mods page to advertise the paywalled content. The mod page on our site would then only serve as a repository for outdated versions and to lure in people who are willing to pay to get access to content that the mod author may deliberately be keeping in a perpetual beta state (early access).

Introducing paywalls, commissions or any other form of monetisation can very quickly lead to creators resenting each other ("why has his small mod made x when my superior mod only makes y?") and encourage dubious practices such as misleading users into paying before they can even see the "product". It can further fragment the community into those who can afford to pay for exclusive content and those who can't, and it may even encourage mod piracy when those who cannot or don’t want to pay turn to theft (similar to software piracy in general).
 
Moreover, if the monetisation of modding got out of hand, there is the concern that developers, or more likely their legal teams, may start cracking down on mod authors, us, and modding in general. If you think this is a doomsday scenario that will never happen, please consider that this exact thing did in fact happen in the GTA 5 modding community, when the cease and desist letters started flying in to put a stop to overly aggressive monetisation of mods.

We don’t want to get entangled in a mess like this, and I’m sure neither do any of you. 


[b]What is and isn’t allowed?[/b]

[list]
[*]Linking to your Patreon/Ko-fi/similar service is fine as long as you’re not violating our [url=https://help.nexusmods.com/article/77-donation-options-guidelines]donation guidelines[/url]
[*]If you are monetising modding, you cannot link to your Patreon/Ko-fi/similar service anywhere on our website, our forums, or Discord servers
[*]If you are monetising modding, you may also not link to a Discord server/Twitter/Facebook/other social media where your monetised content is advertised or discussed. This is to prevent skirting the rules by essentially indirectly linking to your monetised content.
[*]In the interest of fairness, even if monetisation of modding is sanctioned by the game’s developers/EULA, please do not link to it on our site
[/list]
[b]
“But mod author so-and-so is doing this and you’ve not taken down their mod page!”[/b]

Please remember that when it comes to moderation, we operate on a reactive basis. That means if something has not been reported yet, our moderation team might not be aware of a rule transgression taking place. If you come across content that is violating our rules, never assume that “it must be fine then”, instead, report it through the appropriate channels providing conclusive evidence, and it will be handled.

Due to the sheer amount of content that is being uploaded to our site on a regular basis, we have to rely on community reports, rather than proactively scan the site for (possible) rule and guideline violations.

So, please, never assume that just because there is something that is against our rules that has not been moderated/removed yet, that it must be an indication that it’s fine or that we don’t mind.


[b]If you are running a Patreon account/similar service and you are monetising modding according to our definition…[/b]

Please take this news post as an official reminder of our rules and guidelines and remove any link to your Patreon etc. (or Discord server/social media indirectly linking to the place of monetisation).

Alternatively, you are of course welcome to instead adjust the way you’re running your donation service and bring it in line with our rules.

[line]

We’ll give it a bit of time for this reminder to reach everyone who may need it before starting to moderate mod pages that may be going against our guidelines (until 9 May). Please keep this in mind when/before raising reports.

At the same time, this deadline is not an invitation to now aggressively advertise monetisation until then. If we are made aware of mod pages/users violating our donation guidelines, we will be getting in contact with the mod author in question in order to get any links removed etc.

Thank you all for understanding, and please keep supporting mod authors who are playing by the rules!

Starfield, the first game in a brand new series from Bethesda Game Studios, is coming to PC and Xbox in November and while that may seem to be a long way off yet, we're already excitedly preparing for the release. 

[b]Update 12 May 2022: Bethesda has [url=https://twitter.com/bethesda/status/1524721132720566272]announced on Twitter[/url] that Starfield has been delayed until the first half of 2023. [/b]

If you haven't heard about it yet, Starfield is going to be the debut entry in an entirely new franchise and marks the first single-player RPG released by BGS since Fallout 4 all the way back in 2015. The details of the new game world and story have not been fully revealed yet and we've been eagerly following the "[url=https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLSHdOA4o6T_dcf5tYDjJJ6S-nukKFrjxj]Into The Starfield[/url]" video series as it teases more and more information about the upcoming title. 

What we do know is Starfield will be using an updated version of the Creation Engine which has been used to power Skyrim, Fallout 4 and Fallout 76 (which is in itself an evolution of the Gamebyro Engine used by older titles). Todd Howard has also [url=https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/qr1f5c/comment/hk3xl24/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3]confirmed in an AMA on Reddit[/url] that Starfield will have full mod support, which is great news for our community!

So what are we doing to prepare for Starfield? Glad you asked! We're slowly ramping up our efforts to create a community space for Starfield. This is comprised of a few parts:

[list]
[*][url=https://discord.gg/6R4Yq5KjW2]Starfield Modding Discord[/url] - We could have simply added Starfield channels to our main server, but this time around we felt it would be far better to separate the Starfield discussion into its own server. There are already some interesting conversations happening there, including early planning of a Community Patch for the game. If you're interested in modding Starfield, please do check it out. 
[*][url=https://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/forum/6928-starfield/]Starfield Modding Forums[/url] - We've created a new forum category where you can talk about the game, modding or even share your ideas for mods.  
[*][url=https://modding.wiki/starfield]Starfield Modding Wiki[/url] - While it's pretty barebones right now, we plan to use the Modding.wiki site for Starfield to serve as a hub for important information about modding which would otherwise be lost to obscurity in forum posts, Discord servers or Reddit threads. 
[*][url=https://nexusmods.com/starfield]Starfield Game Section[/url] - Coming November 2022. We'll be opening the doors on the site section to share your mods, images, videos and collections for Starfield.
[/list]
That's not all, we're also actively engaging with our friends at Bethesda to learn more about the game and get more modding-specific information that we can share with mods authors, tool developers and the community to allow us to work together to create a modding community that could rival the ones for their previous games. 

Are you as excited as we are for Starfield? What kinds of mods would you like to see? Join the discussion on the forums.

Two weeks ago, we launched a [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/news/14653]donation drive to raise funds and support the Red Cross[/url] in its mission to bring medical aid to the people of Ukraine suffering the consequences of an unprovoked attack on their country. 

We’re very happy to say that the community came out strong in support of Ukraine raising over £6,500 (~$8,474) in direct donations, with some individual donations as high as $100 or even $1,000 - which is just incredible! Thank you so much for your donations.

On top of that, many of you contributed through our mod rewards system and we’re especially proud and grateful for all the mod authors who allocated their [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/modrewards#/store/item/103]mod rewards towards helping the people of Ukraine[/url], adding another £9,950 (~$13,000) to the donation pool.

As promised, we have now donated another £10,000 on top of that to bring the[url=https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/nexusmods-ukraine] total amount raised for the Red Cross[/url] to [b]£26,478[/b] (~$34,580) as of right now. That means we’ve surpassed our fundraising goal of £20,000 by quite a lot - our sincerest thanks go out to all contributors. 

This money is going to the Red Cross in Ukraine to support them in bringing medical aid to those in need. We hope that this will help to alleviate at least some of the pain and suffering caused by the war in Ukraine.

With that said, please note that we’ll keep the [url=https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/nexusmods-ukraine]donation drive on Just Giving[/url] running until the end of the month (31 March), so you still have time to contribute if you want to.

Thank you all so much for coming together as a community and for showing your support for the people of Ukraine in this time of need.

Decide for yourself by joining the Closed Alpha of [b]Elegos[/b] - a moddable RPG - playtesting now!

[line]

We’ve partnered with Perpetual Games who are making an open-world RPG with modding at its front and centre! Today, [b]Elegos[/b] is moving into the Closed Alpha playtesting phase. With this comes an open invitation to anyone in the community who would like to try out an early build of the game, so that your feedback can help guide their development. Here’s a bit from them:

We’re [b]Perpetual Games[/b], a new UK based studio made up of a concentrated team of developers, designers, artists and more working to develop our first title, [b]Elegos[/b]. We are passionate about modding and many of us have a background of working within the modding community. Our debut release will continue the great work with this community by creating a game that is designed with modding and community in mind from the ground up.

[b]Elegos is a game crafted to be fun to play and fun to play with.
[/b]
That’s why we’ve [b]teamed up with Nexus Mods[/b] and why we want you! You know modding, so who better to get involved? Our Closed Alpha is only the beginning of what will be possible with modding in [b]Elegos[/b] as every system, mechanic and feature is being designed with modding in mind. 

We wanted to enable players to shape the world of [b]Elegos[/b] in any way they desire. Our modding-first approach from early on in our development ensures this, paving the way for the community to have direct involvement with innovations in creativity, accessibility and inclusivity. 

Breaking down the entry barriers to modding is also important to us, which is why we’re designing tools that are easy and fun to use for the player, even when they don’t have a technical background. 

All of this does take time, and we will be continually updating the capabilities that are available to the player. So for now, you can see the skeleton of our modding system, Primodial, in the game menu of the Closed Alpha and you can also find our modding roadmap [url=https://modding.wiki/elegos/roadmap]on our wiki[/url].

“Want to overthrow the sovereignty or work to stand with them? Decide for yourself in Elegos, an immersive first-person RPG where every action matters. Designed with a flexible play system, forge your own unique path through a world where complex political forces clash. Take up arms, dabble in forbidden magic, pursue your enemies from the safety of the shadows, or try and talk yourself into the ranks of the nobles.”

Elegos is an immersive first-person RPG, being built in partnership with Nexus Mods. Set in an alternate history at the time of Alexander the Great, the world of Elegos is largely populated by intelligent mythological creatures, known as Mytha. Tasked with uncovering the mystery of your past while surviving to see the future, how your story entangles with Mytha and Man is up to you.

[size=4]How to get started with testing Elegos[/size]

[list=1]
[*]Click the above link and complete the sign-up form.
[*]Redeem your unique Steam code that will be sent to you from the Perpetual Team.
[*]Give Elegos’ Prologue a test, and leave us your feedback.

[/list]
By pressing F1 at any time in the Alpha build, you’ll be able to access a feedback page without leaving the game. This will send us your thoughts alongside a screenshot of whatever you were looking at when you hit the button - perfect for when you spot an NPC glitching into a wall.

The next best way to share your feedback is to join our [url=https://discord.gg/CepTaXdDCC]Discord community[/url]. There you’ll find our Closed Alpha category, where you can share thoughts, flag any bugs you find, and chat with fellow testers.

We’re excited to see what you think of Elegos and what ideas you’ll bring to the game when we’re ready to launch our modding capabilities. Keep your eye out for future playtests too,  as we're already excited to implement your feedback and improve the game.

With that out the way, you can head into Elegos and begin your journey.

The mod in question is called "[url=https://www.nexusmods.com/mountandblade2bannerlord/mods/3468]Life in Calradia[/url]" by the author [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/mountandblade2bannerlord/users/39380835]OneDrop[/url]. If you haven't played Bannerlord, it is a medieval-style action strategy game involving the huge world map of Calradia, several factions inspired by human history, hundreds of Nobles, and an assortment of beautifully created towns, castles, and villages.

However, those of you who have played will know that one tends to spend a lot of time wandering around the world map between settlements instead of thoroughly exploring each beautiful area due to the lack of actual things to do. If immersion is your thing, then this mod might just be for you!

[b]Thanks for agreeing to speak with us. Would you like to tell us a bit about yourself?[/b]

Hi. First of all, thank you for the interview proposal. I was pleasantly surprised by this request so I hope you would be interested to know a little more about this mod and about me. So to introduce myself, my name is Lionel. I am a web developer and I live in France. During my spare time, I love to create stuff whether it's in development, music, or drawing.


[b]What games do you usually play other than Bannerlord?[/b]

Well, I like games where you have to progress little by little, build things, survive, take time to chill, and have a lot of freedom of movement. So I play games like [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/7daystodie]7 Days to Die[/url], [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/empyriongalacticsurvival]Empyrion[/url], [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/spaceengineers]Space Engineers[/url] , and of course [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition]Skyrim[/url]! I also play a lot of strategy/city builder games like [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/xcom2]XCOM[/url], [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/civilisationvi]Civilization[/url], or [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/citiesskylines]Cities Skylines[/url].

[center][img]https://staticdelivery.nexusmods.com/mods/2148/images/118/118-1646839096-1140891190.jpeg[/img][/center]
[b]How did you first get into modding?[/b]

Often while playing, I think to myself that it would be great to have this or that feature. So instead of just saying it, I decided to try to make them myself. I started with 7 Days to Die and it was very hard! At the time, I didn't know how to code at all. C# is a complicated language to understand for a real beginner but that never discouraged me since I'm quite stubborn. I watched and read a lot of code tutorials and did multiple tests until my idea worked... or not! Now it's a little easier. With my job, I have acquired more knowledge and I understand how such things work much quicker.


[b]Tell us about your current project “Life in Calradia.”[/b]

It's a mod that allows you to buy, sell, rent, and upgrade houses and taverns. Each of the houses has 3 different quality levels and the more you improve them, the better the furniture and decorations will be. You have a chest to put your stuff in, a cooking pot to prepare recipes.  The village houses even have plots to grow vegetables and trees. 

[center][img]https://staticdelivery.nexusmods.com/mods/2148/images/118/118-1646838476-1780767795.jpeg[/img] [img]https://staticdelivery.nexusmods.com/mods/2148/images/118/118-1646838482-1193335256.jpeg[/img][/center][center][img]https://staticdelivery.nexusmods.com/mods/2148/images/118/118-1646838689-159133058.jpeg[/img] [img]https://staticdelivery.nexusmods.com/mods/2148/images/118/118-1646838696-1742530.jpeg[/img][/center]
Interactions with family members and companions are also a part of this mod. You can invite them to live in your house and once inside, they will have their own daily routine like eating, sleeping, cooking, talking to each other, and so on. New dialogues have been added to improve your relationship to level up skills by offering gifts or new equipment. Each companion has their own tastes and reacts according to them. So your interactions can affect your relationship for better or worse. 

[center][img]https://staticdelivery.nexusmods.com/mods/2148/images/118/118-1646839104-1261765665.jpeg[/img][/center]
I tried to make this mod as open as possible to be able to modify it or add things like text translation, crafting items, plants, or interior scenes. A lot of files can be edited in the ModuleData folder.


[b]What inspired you to start “Life in Calradia?”[/b]

When I started playing [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/mountandblade2bannerlord]Bannerlord[/url], I loved walking around towns or villages. The scenes are beautiful, very immersive and there are a lot of details with tons of models and assets. But after hours of the game, I realized that I was going there less and less because there was not much to do. I also spent some time chatting with NPCs and companions, but ran into the same thing, interactions were quickly limited. So everything started from that desire to bring more life to Calradia!

[center][img]https://staticdelivery.nexusmods.com/mods/2148/images/118/118-1646839118-528875668.jpeg[/img][/center]

[b]What are your current plans for the project, and what do you hope to accomplish in the future?[/b]

Many things are planned! There are plenty of ideas and the community gives a lot of them too! Fortunately, on this project, I was joined by Optio Miles. He handles the creation of new scenes for all other cultures and he helped me a lot on the new [url=https://discord.gg/R84xM8tKG2]Discord server[/url]. On my side, I would like to improve companion relation changes, tavern management, and add GUI to have a better overview of the state of the companions/houses. I have also started to develop the base of animal husbandry. That's very fun and I'm pleased to see the mod progression.

[center][img]https://staticdelivery.nexusmods.com/mods/2148/images/118/118-1646839111-1955311530.jpeg[/img][/center]

[b]Thank you for participating in this interview. Is there anything else you wish to say to the community?[/b]

Thank you all for your comments of support. The mod and I have been very well received so it gives a lot of motivation. [url=https://www.taleworlds.com/]TaleWorlds[/url] gives us great modding tools that are really easy to use, so the possibilities are endless. So even if you don't code at all, give it a try, have fun doing whatever you want, and share your creations!

I hope this makes you want to try this mod and enjoy playing with it.

When I started playing [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/mountandblade2bannerlord]Bannerlord[/url], I loved walking around towns or villages. The scenes are beautiful, very immersive and there are a lot of details with tons of models and assets. But after hours of the game, I realized that I was going there less and less because there was not much to do. I also spent some time chatting with NPCs and companions, but ran into the same thing, interactions were quickly limited. So everything started from that desire to bring more life to Calradia!

[b]What are your current plans for the project, and what do you hope to accomplish in the future?[/b]

Many things are planned! There are plenty of ideas and the community gives a lot of them too! Fortunately, on this project, I was joined by Optio Miles. He handles the creation of new scenes for all other cultures and he helped me a lot on the new [url=https://discord.gg/R84xM8tKG2]Discord server[/url]. On my side, I would like to improve companion relation changes, tavern management, and add GUI to have a better overview of the state of the companions/houses. I have also started to develop the base of animal husbandry. That's very fun and I'm pleased to see the mod progression.

[b]Thank you for participating in this interview. Is there anything else you wish to say to the community?[/b]

Thank you all for your comments of support. The mod and I have been very well received so it gives a lot of motivation. [url=https://www.taleworlds.com/]TaleWorlds[/url] gives us great modding tools that are really easy to use, so the possibilities are endless. So even if you don't code at all, give it a try, have fun doing whatever you want, and share your creations!

I hope this makes you want to try this mod and enjoy playing with it.

Many thanks to Lionel, aka OneDrop for speaking with us. Check out his [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/mountandblade2bannerlord/mods/3468]mod page[/url] or watch [url=https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCk1lfeg9PCNwSr0LopUQqaA]Artem[/url]'s video on the mod below.[/center]

I’m sure you’re all aware of the horrible assault on Ukraine that started on 24 February. Along with the leadership and people of the vast majority of countries in the world, we strongly condemn this unprovoked attack on another sovereign nation at the orders of Russian president Vladimir Putin.

At this moment the people of Ukraine are suffering the consequences of Putin’s war of aggression which is bringing nothing but death, destruction, and displacement to countless families.

During these troubling times, we, and I’m certain many of you, have been in awe of the spirited resistance the Ukrainian people have been mounting against the invaders, as well as the sheer outpour of solidarity across the world in light of a horrible attack.

Plenty of Ukrainian users are part of our modding community. In February alone, we had over 270,000 visits from users in Ukraine and now they are in desperate need.

Like many of you, we feel the urge to help and we simply cannot stand idly by while people are suffering due to this war. That is why we are now launching a [url=https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/nexusmods-ukraine]donation drive to raise funds and support the Red Cross[/url] in its mission to bring medical aid to the people of Ukraine. 

[list]
[*]To start the fundraiser off, we are paying in [b]£1,000[/b] (roughly $1,330)
[*]We are also going to double the total amount raised up to [b]£10,000[/b] (roughly $13,300)
[/list]
We encourage everyone who can afford it and wants to support the Red Cross in Ukraine to donate in order to bring at least some relief to those hurt most by this war.

[center][url=https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/nexusmods-ukraine][img]https://staticdelivery.nexusmods.com/mods/110/images/93729/93729-1646142157-1708731647.png[/img][/url][/center]

In addition to that, we have added [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/modrewards#/store/item/103]a new charity option to our mod rewards store[/url] with the same purpose. All donation points mod authors allocate to the “Ukraine Relief Effort” charity will be going towards the same fund.

We believe that we as a community can make a difference not just by donating, but by showing our solidarity with those hurt by an abhorrent attack and ongoing war.


[b]“But I don’t want politics on a mod site”[/b]

I don’t blame you, however, we unfortunately now live in a world where the first full-scale military invasion in Europe since World War II has become a reality, and shutting our eyes to this evil is simply not an option. If you don’t want to, or can’t donate, that is perfectly fine, but we don’t believe it is a matter of politics to condemn this war, and to want to support the victims of war.


[b]We won’t allow hatred on our site[/b]

Please note that we will in no way, shape, or form tolerate support for this atrocious act of aggression carried out by the Russian government under President Putin, nor will we allow users to make excuses and provide “justifications” for an unprovoked and unjust war. Please report any such actions to the moderation team for review, thank you.

At the same time, we do not want any of our Russian users who have joined the rest of the world in condemning Putin’s war, and who are now suffering the economic consequences of this aggression, to experience discrimination or harassment based solely on their nationality. 

We know that many, many Russian people are as appalled as the rest of us and we wish them the best during what will most likely be very trying times ahead.
[line]
We are hoping for a swift end to the armed conflict and for the people of Ukraine to be able to return to their homes. Thank you to everyone who is showing their support and/or donating to aid the victims of this war, and please note that you are of course free to choose a different charity or cause if you’d prefer.

If you’d like to support the people of Ukraine in other ways, here is a (non-exhaustive) list of alternative charities:
