NEW DLC SIZED MODS FOR FNV, FO4, AND SKYRIM SSE COMING TO YOUR COMPUTER, MAYBE?
by Rogdonlp
One
of the great things about Bethesda games is that the game can be
extensively modded. Some mods are very small and only change one
variable in the game. Other mods, such as Beyond Skyrim: Bruma, are as
big or bigger than some of the official DLCs. There have been numerous
ambitious DLC size mods announced in the past. Not that many have
actually been completed and released. At the moment (10/12/18) I am
aware of seventeen DLC size mods that are in various stages of active
development and two that have been released on Nexus.
SKYRIM SSE
Beyond Skyrim: Bruma was the first of the Beyond Skyrim projects to be released. Six more Beyond Skyrim projects are being worked on. These are:
Beyond Skyrim: Cyrodiil: The Seat of Sundered Kings Cyrodill Cyrodiil Nexus News
Beyond Skyrim: Iliac Bay: Tower of Dawn Iliac Bay
Beyond Skyrim: Morrowind: The Star-Wounded East Morrowind Beyond Skyrim: Atmora: Expedition to the North Atmora
Beyond Skyrim: Elsweyr: Sugar and Blood Elsweyr
Beyond Skyrim: Roscrea: Voices of the Deep: Roscrea Project Webpage Roscrea Video
Roscrea is the only one of these six projects that is nearing completion. You can also access Beyond Skyrim on Discord (Beyond Skyrim: Community Outpost).
FALLOUT 3/TALE OF TWO WASTELANDS
Fallout 3 is really one of Bethesda’s better games. However, the FO3 game engine is ancient and very prone to
crashes-to-desktop (CDT). Tale of Two Wastelands (“TTW)” allows you to
play FO3 as a mod of Fallout New Vegas. Using the much improved FNV
engine to run FO3 removes a lot of the engine caused problems. I have
played the older version (2.9.4b) of TTW twice and it makes FO3 so much
more fun to play. Version 3.2 is a complete rewrite of TTW and should
remove some of the glitches of 2.9.4b and allow smoother gameplay. The
conversion is being done primarily by one person, RoyBatty. The 3.2
version was released November 11, 2018. See TTW on Discord. The
official TTW site and download information is here:

FNV. The main quest can be played either as a legionnaire or as a
former NCR soldier. There are also side quests. As of 10/12/18 the
game is 80% complete. Release will be, hopefully, by the end of 2018.

is an FNV mod. It was launched on 10/23/18. The storyline is set in
2260 which is 21 years prior to the events of FNV. The questline starts
out in Vault 18 in Los Angeles. When the player character immerges
from the Vault there is a three-way war going on between the Survivalist
Army, the NCR, and the Super Mutants. A video trailer can be found

TESRENEWAL PROJECTS

games to run on newer engines. It currently has three active projects.

This mod is converting Oblivion to run using the Skyrim engine. No
alpha version has been released yet. See Skyblivion on Discord

alpha state version was released but has since been withdrawn. See

nearing completion. See Morroblivion on Discord (The Morroblivion
