Wrye Bash helps you get into the thick of things in terms of mod management by helping you access the parts of mods that might need cleaning or even file merging.
Modding is about fine-tuning games to suit your tastes, making changes and alterations to games based on whatever you and mod creators see fit. You could change something visual, you could change how your character gains power, or you could swap out the entire game soundtrack for a fan-made orchestral version. The most popular mods for the most popularly modded games tend to be aesthetic mods that tweak the look and sound of a game.
Take Skyrim , one of the most heavily modded games of all time, and take a look for some of its mods. But a picture is worth a thousand words. Click the images to enlarge them if you want to bask in all the improvements.
Audio mods are only popular in some games, but they can do interesting things. Some mods focus on decreasing visual quality, to allow games to run better on underpowered hardware or simply increase the frame rate for a more buttery feel.
Many competitive players reduce graphical quality just enough so that the important details are still visible, but the framerate can be as high as the hardware will allow it to be. Fixing bugs and enhancing system compatibility are the key reasons for technical modding. Sure, it may feel like every classic game is getting an HD remaster this week, but not all fan favorites are so lucky. A supportive modding community can help add a much-needed layer of modern polish.
Playing the older games on modern monitors results in ugly black bars surrounding the picture, or worse, visual stretching and distortion. Big difference, eh? Some mods take aim at player-discovered bugs.
Other games, such as Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic: The Sith Lords , may contain unfinished content, causing some weird dead ends in gameplay and storytelling.
Communities have banded together to resolve these in different ways, such as The Sith Lords Restored Content mod , which utilizes unused assets in the original game as well as original efforts to effectively close off the loose ends. Gameplay mods change how you play a game, covering aspects like difficulty scaling, character progression systems, control schemes, adding or removing certain mechanics, or even interface changes.
A perfect example of a mod that alters difficulty is Brutal Doom. This mod for the earlier Doom games—not the edition—effectively cranks everything up to 11 by adding a ton of enemies and giving foes new tactics.
It also greatly expands the gore and destruction that Doom is famous for. The first Dark Souls game on PC used a sort of emulation to effectively translate keyboard and mouse into controller actions, and generally lacked control options.
These mods ditched the emulation and added raw mouse input, mouse acceleration and sensitivity settings, and key mapping. These control mods not only provide options for PC purists, but also opportunities for gamers with disabilities who depend on custom hardware and button mapping to get their game on.
Many gameplay mods can complement each other that provide a fresh experience to a game. Sometimes, you just need more. Once your mods are installed, click on them and select the option to activate them.
Your mod will then be installed through the manager, and you should be able to access it the next time you boot the game. Not all games require the Nexus Mod Manager to work.
For instance, the popular DSFix mod for Dark Souls can be downloaded manually from the Nexus Mods website and installed by dragging the relevant file into your Steam game folder. The process for installing and using mods will vary from game to game, so be sure to read the mod descriptions carefully before attempting to install them.
Just imagine you're playing a mod that gives you a completely new ship that doesn't exist in the base game and you save the game. If you deactivate the mod and try loading the save in the base vanilla game, the ship won't exist and will cause the game to crash. The game simply cannot load something that isn't there.
We'll do our best to circumvent such problematic scenarios, but it's unlikely we can do that for all potential problems. If you run into any problems running a modded game, please check the comments section of the mods you have set as active.
If you're contacting us for support, either through the discussion board, or by email, please inform us if you're using mods, and what mods if possible. In a lot of situations, we'll have to test the exact scenario and we can only do that if we also use the same mods. We hope to see a bunch of high-quality mods on the Workshop and we're looking forward to trying them out.
