SKYRIMLE Radiance

Radiance (Alpha) - https://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=15972

 

This is in alpha stage, but I can't refrain from testing it, because it adds just the sort of things i want, lore-wise:

Radiance is a simple mod with a big dream: make Skyrim more immersive by adding new world events and interactions to the Radiant Story system. These events occur based on what you have done in your playthrough, so that two different characters will leave Skyrim in a very different state from when they arrived. Now you'll feel it when you start a civil war or release a terrorist mastermind from prison. The game is currently in alpha, and I'm adding new events in my precious little free time. Please note that I am not a programmer by trade, so things may not always work right--and when they don't, I often won't know how to fix them. I'll do my best, and once Radiance reaches a stable point in it's progress, I'm happy to give this project up to any more capable modders who are interested. I'm making this project because it's what I want to see in game, and I just happen to be sharing it with all of you in spite of my limited abilities.

I would like to encourage you testing this as well and reporting to the author, in order to help him improving the mod and pushing it out of alpha stage.

Hey TC, you should check out the icicle textures from Real Ice and Snow.

The main file doesn't really compare to Thats Ice, but there are five icicle textures under optional files, I like the extreme watery version myself.

This is just the sort of thing I want in the game as well. Dynamic gameplay & the butterfly effect. I will run this once I have a stable setup. (still have not yet begun my STEP 2.1 install :><:>

Is this something that can be added mid-game ya think? I got to level 20 after upgrading to 2.1.1. If not, I may have to start a new game just for this mod.

I recommend sticking with your lvl 20 save, it can be added mid-came i think, but its in alpha stage and i would only test it for now.

Good idea for a thread TC. This way we can know what your considering for the next release, and gives us time to see if there are any instabilities etc with a STEP setup with the mod being considered. Hope to see many more mods posted here :D

Sir, I salute you. This is the kind of thing that would exquisitely round out a near perfect game experience, like Skyrim ;) Lookin forward to future updates.

I think opaj is alive since he just updated his mod.

[TheCompiler]

yep it has been updated to 1.02, just wandering if that fixes the issues reasn why we removed it from the guide.

I think opaj is alive since he just updated his mod.

His last update evidently, on the Bethesda forum thread he says he wont have time to do any more modding so hopefully someone interested can continue development on it.

Yupp:

Well, since the 1.2 addon removed the angry villagers which was the main problem with this mod, and since it seems to be totally compatible with the DLCs, i guess we can reintroduce it in the next STEP, what the other team member have to say about it?

I feel like Radiance enhances Skyrim while staying true to vanilla Skyrim enough that you might not realize content is from a mod. So, in my opinion, this fits STEP's philosophy: polishing up vanilla Skyrim without overhauling it into something new.

I totally agree with that and that's the reason i've introduced Radiance in a previous version of STEP in the first place. In v2.2 it got removed for a consistent problem with angry villagers and for the author declaring having abandoned the mod. But actually the mod seems to be quite stable to be reintroduced once again, i just need reports.
