Everyone is saying porn mods, but I know several friends who just load the game with so many mods in general that it's an unstable mess that constantly crashes

The 'game' is playing with your mod load order until you find a combination that doesn't crash.

Then you add more mods and play the 'game' again.

Wait, you can actually play Skyrim? I've always thought it was just a modding simulator. At least that's what I do

Day 18: I have finished installing environmental mods. Skyrim looks majestic. Every NPC is T-posed. I must return to the mod manager. The patches are so far away. I fear for my sanity.

I played on the Xbox 360.

That was the experience without mods.

10/10. Would crash again. Never really felt the need to play a Bethesda game since. Which is handy because there's only been like two.

I feel this. I was in college when Skyrim came out and my gaming PC was in the living room next to the TV so my buddy would play Skyrim from the couch and I'd be on my PC. The 360 version crashed more and took like a solid minute to load any new map. If you entered the wrong building, 2 minutes gone and a small chance of a crash that would take like five minutes to reboot.

I had a roommate that only console gamed, and I just couldn't understand it. how tf do you play Skyrim for over 600 hours with a controller? I'd go nuts from input restrictions.

same guy only played Minecraft that way. blew my mind.

How do you play 600 hours sitting up in a chair? That's not play. That's work.

This is typically my issue. I do the same thing with Fallout and Starfield too. Bethesda makes some really crazy mod installation simulators... It's almost as if there's a regular game in there. Maybe just one more mod and I'll finally be able to play it!

They're creating their mod list, fixing bugs, add mods they forgot, re-ordered the mod list and have to wait 10 minutes for the game to even load after each change. And in the end they don't even play the finished modpack.

Maybe I'm odd, but I related heavily to this meme without thinking of porn mods. I've played hundreds, probably thousands of hours in Skyrim across various platforms, almost all without mods. Even the creation club nonsense in the anniversary addition I find annoying and half-baked- I wish there was a way to revert back to plain old Special Edition.

To me the feeling of loading up Skyrim for 15 minutes at a time several times a day means.... I'm not doing well. It means that I don't have the mental capacity to seek out or learn a new game. That I'm probably looking for something comfortable and familiar to make me feel better. And while Skyrim is that, sometimes I load up a save and see that I'm about to start a dungeon and the prospect just seems overwhelming. Or I'm over encumbered and need to spend a bunch of downtime crafting, trading, and organizing inventory.

It's the kind of behavior that, over an extended period, could be a sign of depression.

Control. “This big tiddy companion exists only because I will it. Whatever in creation exists without my knowledge exists without my consent.”

porn is noninteracting. what the people who use sex mods are lacking is intimacy and basic human interaction.
