[WIP] GameToMod

[Mator]

Available on Nexus Mods

 

 

IN-GAME MODDING!
Now you can generate mods from your saved games!

 

Have you spent hours and hours making your player home just the way you want? Now you can easily share it with others or use it in another play through!

Jaxonz and MatorTheEternal have teamed up to bring you this exciting new tool, consisting of an exporter mod and importer xEdit script.

Mods you create are just like any other. You can load them in your game, edit them with Creation Kit or TES5Edit, merge them, or share them via Nexus, Steam, or other sites.

Use with Jaxonz Positioner and Jaxonz Renamer for the ideal GameToMod experience!

I'm not sure if this is real or not. April 1st has been and gone here in Aust. but you guys in Nth. America are still in that time.

 

Is this a hoax or some amazing scripting trickery?

It looks real, but so did those bigfoot videos!

This being released on April 1st is a coincidence.  It is a real, working tool.  :)

Then I am further impressed by what you mange to accomplish with xEdit scripts.

My thoughts are we might see a bunch of lame mods on the Nexus as everyone becomes a modder

That's a rather pessimistic viewpoint.

 

Sure, there'll be bad mods, but there'll be good ones too.  It's just a tool like anything else, so it'll be used both by experienced modders as well as by newbies.  I think it's a great way to introduce more people to mod creation and get people who otherwise wouldn't share their design skills to share their work with the community.

I'll try to keep on open mind, but honestly if I am reading something wrong, it sounds like a mod that lets people create a new mod out of whatever player home they created. Lame. Why not create your own player home? Kinda like putting your player character created with Race Menu of on the Nexus for use. I am not saying it is a bad mod to create. Modding is about whatever floats your boat. You know how to do it and it is fun for you, more power to you.
