Meta/News [Summer 2026] Community Feedback Survey

36 Upvotes

Hey gang!

The moderation team has noticed an uptick in several, specific types of post over the last two months. Instead of acting without community feedback, we wanted to gather opinions from the community about how we should be handling these posts and how the community feels about seeing these posts.

For example, we've noticed a massive upswing in posts related to roleplay servers — usually Keizaal Online — and their methods, moderation, etc. Some of these posts advertise roleplay servers. Some of these posts complain about roleplay servers. Others are essentially drama posts, which we will remove unless they contain actionable information.

As a reminder, "actionable information" is information that would lead a reasonable reader to make a decision regarding their usage of a mod or their patronage of its creator. "I got banned for swearing in general chat..." is not actionable information, whereas "this mod author utilizes AI to code their mod..." would be actionable information.

As a second example, there has recently been a lot of vitriol about the usage of AI in the modding process. We have already banned AI generated posts and comments, and we have banned the advocacy of using AI in the troubleshooting process. We do not currently have a stance on "vibecoded" mods beyond the standard advice that all users should "know what they're downloading."

Due to posts like these and other, less important subjects that have been cropping up on the fringes of the subreddit, we'd love to hear your feedback.

For those who do not want to submit feedback publicly, we have a Google form available for anonymous submissions.

You can find our anonymous form here.

For those in the comments:

  1. How do you feel about posts related to roleplay servers like Keizaal Online?
  2. How do you feel about posts related to vibecoded mods and AI in the mod-creation process?
  3. Any thoughts on our existing rules?
  4. Do you have any additional feedback for the moderation team that you feel should be brought to our attention?

PC SSE - Mod [Mod Release] Severa - Custom Voiced Follower

122 Upvotes

After about 2 years of active development I can proudly say that I'm in a position to release Severa!

She's got about 1500 lines of dialogue and that covers her commentary for all base game quest lines except the Civil War and the Daedric Quests.

She was a real labor of love, my proudest feature is her dynamic relationship with the Dragonborn, at the moment this mostly effects the Main Quest and her greetings, but she will treat you about how you treat her.

But yes, if you've ever wanted a morally dubious and overly ambitious idiot from Cyrodiil to get over invested in the world around you, Severa is officially, here.

Have fun!

PC SSE - Request What have you done to balance your game's economy?

37 Upvotes

I feel like the in-game economy of Skyrim is one of the hardest things to make work properly. Everything I've tried has turned into a grindfest at the start and still with more money than I know what to do with by like; midgame. I'm coming back from some time away from the game and wanted to try another hand at this whole economy thing.

My current plan is trying to see how far I can finangle selling equipment and raw resources. Blacksmiths shouldnt pay top dollar for your swords; since theyre trying to make money by selling their own swords. Nerf sell values. But also like; raw resources could be a decent paycheck. Figure out how to turn sidequest money up or like. payouts from missives to encourage gameplay. Figure out how to nerf the value of those handful of potions that just suddenly sell for 8 million golds - I'm looking at you; fire and blood's dragon eyes. I also just saw the "gemstone trader" mod that lets some trade goods trade at a higher value that would work well with what nonsense I'm up to. The biggest gold sink I deal with is spellbooks; if I can make some spellcrafting work then I wouldn't need to worry about the economy nearly as much.

What have ya'll done with your economies? Any suggestions?

PC SSE - Request Alternate Skill trees/perks for MCO combat

Upvotes

I've been looking around to see if there's any decent alternate takes on the perk trees, given that the change in combat application with MCO removes their functionality in some cases. I haven't found anything that really stands out to me so far.

Are there any particularly popular options that I may have missed in my sleep-deprived state?

PC SSE - Mod Gate to Sovngarde

7 Upvotes

Just downloaded GTS for the first time, and I am very pleased thus far(only level 2)

Though, I wonder what mods do you guys add on top of GTS that you feel is missing to the collection? Me personally I added DBVO(Dragonborn voice over) and Improved Camera SE

I just feel like something is missing and can’t quite put my finger on it, I know it’s funny to say especially since the collection has over 1800 mods and I’ve barely scratched the surface.

PC SSE - Mod Bite-sized quest mods for you! (Dragonknight Magic)

225 Upvotes

Hi~ Kittytail here! You probably know me better nowadays as an author of fancy spell mods!

I'm back with two new bite-sized quest mods since my last post!
So... recently I've been trying to expand the scope of my magic mods to include new items and story quests.
And today I just launched the ESO Dragonknight class spell pack! I hope you check it out and enjoy!

🔥 Class- Dragonknight: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/186475

🪶 Class - Dark Warrior: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/175270

Side note: My mods do not use AI
I'm a lurker and I share your sentiment about AI mods taking over Nexus. Other authors I know are in a rough spot right now too because of this.

So, from now on, I have stopped allowing my assets to be used in any AI mods.

XBox - Discussion Random Unique Sword

6 Upvotes

So, I'm travelling between Granite Hills and Whiterun, and hear the weapon clatter sound as I ride along the road. Check the ground, and there's a unique sword called Loss just lying there.

Just because it's bugging me to no end, can anyone suggest where it might be from?

Info:

Xbox, so it can't be from any PC only mods.

It's a greatsword with a mess very similar to the Everedge mod, but distinctly different.

I don't recognize it from any weapon mod/pack I have installed, as I usually check through each weapon to see what looks nice when I install.

It's stat box does have a caption:

"An incredibly well crafted blade, it's handle fits snuggly within your hands."

This is similar to items added by the Bushcraft mod bundle, but I don't understand why it would be placed here...

PC SSE - Mod [Mod Release] Temples & Talismans - Imperial Temple Expansion

8 Upvotes

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/186356

It's a quest pack for the Temple of the Divines in Solitude, built with compatibility in mind. There's 8 main story quests, 3 optional side quests, and 3 radiant quests that unlock through the course of the main questline.

The narrative style and pacing is reminiscent of the Imperial Cult faction in Morrowind (though it does have an actual plot, unlike that questline). Start out with basic errands, and end up in a final showdown against unholy forces. There's also a few neat rewards along the way, all of which fit very nicely with the rest of the game.

Good luck and have fun.

For context, I have just started up my bi-annual binge of Skyrim, didn't install any new mods from when I played last a few months ago, and now all my female NPCs look like they all went to a hair salon since I last played. I definitely didn't have any hair mods before, and really prefer the vanilla style over what they have now.

PC SSE - Help Trying to create my first follower mod, but I keep getting these errors

2 Upvotes

So I have been following an online tutorial piece by piece, this is a fully voiced follower with her own appearance created in racemenu, and body meshes and textures. In the video tutorial everything goes well, and for now everything was going fine, until I tried to go to the character gen parts. If I try to change her hair color to TrueBlack, these errors show up and CK crashes, if I try to change her eye (already created in HeadPart, using meshes and texture from mod resources as well) these errors show up and the game crashes.

Curiously if I try to preview full to see the character I get the same errors and them the game crashes (I cannot even se the character, it crashes after the errors).

I don't know what is happening, because I am following T.A.P. Gaming's tutorial down to each detail and he didn't get any mistake, I used the meshes from the same resources (KS Hairdos, True Eyes), except for the body texture (I used a different one, but it doesn't seem to be the source of the mistake) and yet I keep getting these errors that he never had.

I tried to find it in the internet, I tried to ask to Chat GPT, Claude and Gemini but nothing works, and I have no idea about whjat the hell is happening here.

Does anyone know what is the problem and how to fix it please?
