I wanna play skyrim, but I'm bored of it, what do I do

[Souls]

I've been playing skyrim for a while, and I like it, it's very fun and keeps me entertained for hours, but every time I try to play it I just get bored and stop, I don't know how to make skyrim completely fun and interesting anymore. Does anyone know of any mods that like completely change the game in some ways? Like I know of mods that add new places and new quests but I want mod(s) that change a lot of stuff, something like changing how you escape helgen or adding a ton of new, super intriguing quests. So I guess I'm just looking for some game changing mod suggestions... Anyone have any ideas?

Play Oblivion for a while; usually does the trick for me

I tried that, but I wasn't able to do anything, when I tried to move it wouldn't let me. I did have my controller plugged in but I don't know if that was the problem. Maybe I'll try playing oblivion again, and I might try playing morrowind as well.

I came up with a challenge yesterday. Try getting the 1:1 timescale mod. Then whenever you load into the game, press T and wait until the time is close to the actual IRL time. Then just play the game without fast-travelling.

Good luck, have fun!

That seems really cool, but would the time stop in-game when the game is no longer running? Meaning I would have to readjust the time by waiting to make it real-time again when I start up the game?

Yeah, that's the only way to do it at the moment. I guess it would be possibe for someone to make a mod that syncs the game to your computer's time, but no mod like that exists yet. Maybe I could throw together a mod like that at some point.

That would be pretty cool

I'd suggest the Alternate Start mod. The ART race mods also helped me get back into the game when I was bored. When combat started getting boring I added a few combat oriented mods.
If you REALLY know Skyrim well, challenge yourself by playing with the monitor turned off. Though there's prolly a mod for that too.

I mean, I'm the kind of guy who beats a game, and restarts and plays it again, but differently. Which is why I like Fire Emblem: Awakening so much. I played vanilla skyrim for about 400 hours on steam, only because I would beat the game then restart with a new race & class, and then I finally started using mods which brought me up to almost 900 hours. If you just browse on Nexus or Steam WS (oh please, there are plenty of good mods on Steam WS) you'll find something interesting. Just don't download mods that have little to no ratings cause those can't be trusted to work properly. If you use Skse, a mod I would recommend to you is the Tavern Games mod.

What does that mod do?

Fallout 3?

You really don't need to use a mod for that, especially since you can only have a limited number of mods. Just use the console...

set timescale to 1

Ya, play Oblivion. After 10 minutes you'll wanna play anything else!.
BTW..
They say syndicates of wizards have led a boycott on imperial goods in the land of the Altmer..I'm done talking to you!

I'm not a huge fan of fallout, I liked skyrim because it had a medieval-ish style, dragons, caves, bows instead of guns, swords, greatswords etc. Fallout is more post apocalyptic type deal, and I don't like that all too much. I really like games similar to zelda and skyrim.

Try an immersion run. Thats what I did. I gathered a whole ton of mods to make the game revolve less around my player character and instead making me part of the world. I'm as limited and as powerful as NPCs go.

Most of my playthrough is attributed to Skyrim Scaling Stopper and Skyrim Scarcity which stops level scaling and lowers the amount of loot. So instead of having bandits level with me, often times they are 10-15 levels above me and sometimes even 20...same goes for other enemies. It makes the world a lot more dangerous. Loot is also unleveled, I once saw a Daedric Mace being sold in a store at level 10, but it was worth about 7000 gold because I use Trade and Barter to fix the enonomy and make merchants more strict with their prices. Scarcity works well with it because it reduces the amount, so I wont go into a dungeon and see like 5 Daedric swords in a chest or something. Scaling Stopper also uses percentages for items. Iron and Steel weapons are a lot more common and typically the only thing that merchants carry most of the time.

It sounds really difficult, but its a lot more fun and imo what Skyrim should have been like from the start. You no longer feel like you aren't getting more powerful as you level up. You start really weak and become more powerful. Kind of like how Morrowind is.

Then I threw in a bunch of immersion mods for when I dont feel like getting my ass handed to me in dungeons. Already saw Tavern Games mentioned. Thats one of the mods I use. I also like iNeed.

You can buy that daedric mace with a few hours of chopping wood, and then (with requiem) you end up dropping it somewhere by accident fighting some wolves when it tires you too much, and you can't find it in the grass.

Haha only reason I dont use Requiem is because of all the other stuff that is added. I have 211 plugins active, but the game is still largely vanilla. Its just unleveled and more immersive. Hell, I dont even use SKY UI (I use SKY UI Away so that I can use the MCM menu, without changing the vanilla UI). A lot of the mods are overhauls to NPCs and stuff. Like everything added in Immersive Citizens should have been in the game from the start. Same with Civil War Overhaul.
