Skyrim Modder's Resources - What would you like to see?

[InsanitySorrow]

There are a lot of modder's starting to build their houses, quests ect in the Creatiion Kit, but one thing they're lacking is ... RESOURCES .. yep we don't have much available right now. To give our artists a few ideas I thought it'd be a good idea to make a thread where we can all list the things we would love to see available for us to use in our mods

If you have a suggestion please post here, make sure you give a good description and I'll add it to the list.

Architecture:

Additional parts for existing Tilesets - Meo already started on Farmhouses

Outhouse toilet

Fences

Walkway tiles, cobblestones

Bridges

Islamic

Hindu

Elven

Akavir

A retexture of all dragon architecture so that it looks the same, but every part of the texture should bear inscriptions in dragon language

Armor:

Mythic Dawn armor in its various versions (visible/oscured face)

Retexture of all ebony equipment to look like this texture scheme

Clothing:

A necklace version of the Celtic cross resource

Clutter:

Environment:

Flowers/Plants - Potted/Non potted

Painting/Picture Frames - square, rectangular, oval, like the ones we had in Oblivion. And maybe a palette and paintbrush too?

Glass fish aquarium

Dried & Fresh fish for hanging/displaying

Dragon nest and eggs

Planter box

Separate Iron brackets

Decals (Blood, vomit etc)

Gargoyles

Statues (Antique Statue)

Textures:

Desert, Forest-floor, Volcanic, Beach, Grassland groundplane textures

Rock retextures in brown, ochre, sandstone colours

[Hanaisse]

More variety of lamps! That horn gets old after awhile.

[Tamira]

I'd really like to have more flowers. They even may be statics (this is how I imported flowers from Oblivon for my personal use) to decorate the porch and the garden outside of my house.

Then I'd like to have a variety of different frames for paintings: square, rectangular, oval, like the ones we had in Oblivion.

And maybe a palette and paintbrush too?

To be continued...

[camaro_69_327]

Things we need...some you have already givin us..

More and varied food...cooked and uncooked

Small out house...potty..with crescent moon on door...lol

Glass fish aquarium

Tools...hammer, nails, hatchet, saw

Better choices for exterior houses

More /different fish for hanging , more dried food for hanging

single flowers for a vase inside house

plates, knives, forks spoons

bedding, blankets

Fences

walkway tiles, cobblestones

Bridges

Could use any of the above and I have just started. Once i get past the Basic's and get started with the graphic part , am sure I will look back and laugh at this post...heheh

[InsanitySorrow]

Wow

[camaro_69_327]

Planter box ...for under exterior windows.

Separate Iron brackets. (to make shelfs any size)

Well, to make a dungeon mod more interesting and exciting, I think a dungeon tileset retexture is the ticket. I remember this working like a charm in Heart of the Dead for Oblivion. A retex can really brush off the player's blindness to the familiar, and make you feel like you're dicovering something new.

In the same vein, retextures and new models of outdoor rocks, ground, buildings, etc. to suit entirely new climates and environments, like that sand dune ground retexture you were experimenting with. That would really open up opportunities.

Edit: Okay, specifics:

Desert, Forest-floor, Volcanic, Beach, Grassland groundplane textures

Rock retextures in brown, ochre, sandstone colours

Islamic, Hindu, Elven, Akavir architecture

For the dungeon retextures, I don't have any specific ideas. Oh, wait: Ice cave to sedimentary rock cave.

The general gist is to create resources that allow modders to craft environments that we don't get to see in vanilla Skyrim.

On a slightly off-topic note, I'd also love to see some tutorials specifically dealing with creating custom static world objects: I wanna contribute too!

[lilith]

I think I will refrain, you certainly don't need my input after camaro posted

Splendid ideas everyone!

[InsanitySorrow]

Keep posting, this is for all of us, not just me ... if I was ever handed a list like this mah head would explode

[darkstone]

Dragon nest and eggs

[lilith]

Somebody mentioned this is the shouty quite sometime ago, I can't remember who it was... So whomever it was, if you see this take credit for your idea!

Kids toys - We've kids and no toys?

EDIT:

Hand crank ice cream machine (I can make a bowl of ice cream, but from where did it come?)

[donnato]

Yup...kids toys...but I think I`d like to try my hand at knife fork and spoon...ummm..just to clarify...what kind of kids toys..?... Ok a ball and bat...maybe wooden soldiers..?

[lilith]

And hobby horses too!

[Arion]

Could use a nice Dwemer style nutcracker.. Sort of pull a handle and a piston slides along a rail and cracks the nut at the end.

[DarkRider]

I'd like to see some Hist Sap please, in bottle or bowl, or pitcher, my Argonian is missing it's sweet piquant flavor

[Meo]

The statics will come. Be patient.

[ub3rman123]

I'd like to see a tileset that looks the same as Solitude's castle, but more modular than the one as it is now. Or just any castle exterior tileset in general. They gave us plenty of interiors to go with it, just not enough exteriors.

[Maddox]

What I would really love to see and believe wouldnt be too hard for person with enough knowledge - posing existing creature models, adding some sort of pedestal and turning them into stone statues. Tried it myself but didnt have much success, just couldnt get believable textures going

If I recall correctly someone requested more fishing gear while ago, which would be also nice to have. Fishing nets / traps etc..

Also there is plenty of hair mods but I have yet to see additional hair for children, who have 3 hairstyles across both genders.

And what about some decals ? ( not sure if im calling that properly) Stuff like blood splatters placeable on ground / walls.

And of course Skyrim needs some lava.

Glass fish aquarium

+1

and should be Multiple sizes and shapes of fish aquariums.

-----------

More fish, based off of real fish. We need more color in those rivers and hopefully aquariums.

Eels (if possible with the animation)

Stingrays

Sharks

Fresh water and Salt water (and mixed fish that can go in to Fresh or Salt water).... I can help with getting the images for the fish and what type they are (fresh or salt) and they names!

------

Other stuff:

Lizards

Snow Sled

Antique Style Music Player (Dwemer style. its possible because of the centurions,spiders and sphere's they built)

---------------------------------------

Yup...kids toys...but I think I`d like to try my hand at knife fork and spoon...ummm..just to clarify...what kind of kids toys..?... Ok a ball and bat...maybe wooden soldiers..?

Toy Box for storing these toys

Wooden Building Blocks

Wooden Swords (different styles for the different holds)

Wooden Rocking Horse (would have to be large enough for a small child to play on... or the crazy adult)

Wooden Boat

Wooden Top (the spinning thing)

Teddy Bears

Dolls (like the old China Dolls)

Edited April 23, 2012 by DsoS

[Artisanix]

Wow

Deal with it! You just opened the Pandora's Box

[lilith]

To go along with the fishy stuff:

A creel (fish basket - we've got poles)

Fish net (which could be adapted to a personal request... butterfly net)

I like Pandora's box!

[syscrusher]

Here's my response. I will note for the record that I intend to *make* some of these (not sure which, yet) as soon as I can reliably export from Blender into Skyrim format without vast gyrations. (IOW, I'm not trying to dump work onto others, but rather to contribute to the "to do" list.)

• 
  
  
• I agree with those who have said "more lights", and would add that both "Fake" and "Off" versions are needed.
  
• Invisible Activator objects in various shapes (flat disk, convex "lens" shape, rectangular) with editor markers. I know how to make the Activators but have never had any success using NifSkope to add editor markers.
  
• More variety of invisible collision objects, again with editor markers.
  
• Booksets that can be used as containers (some have been created, but more variety is always good).
  
• Desk/office clutter (static!)
  
• Alchemy lab clutter (again, static)
  
• Door stones, like the ones in Oblivion
  
• Some flat stone platforms in various textures and shapes, for use with outdoor craft areas, shrines, etc.
  
• Retainer walls with and without embedded staircases, as a tileset, with attached flat "land" on the uphill side (these exist in vanilla as "terrace" pieces, but limited in variety)
  
• Standalone water statics like the ones Washington (?) did for Oblivion. Maybe these exist in vanilla, but I haven't found them yet.
  
• Wall decorations that are not pelts or flattened basket weaves (booooooorrrrrrring!)
  

[Si-Shen]

Don wanted me to post here so I shall, a childs toy that is part of nearly every classic RPG and the weapon EVERY child begins his/her adventure to save the world with!

Wooden Sword!

[DsoS]

hey, Si-Shen... no taking my ideas lol jk... Glad to see that others want Wooden Swords

[DarkRider]

Standalone water statics like the ones Washington (?) did for Oblivion. Maybe these exist in vanilla, but I haven't found them

There are several under Activators
