Think I'm on my 4th character atm.
Installed a bunch of cool mods and I'm playing as a normal guy who have just
arrived to Skyrim looking for a new start.
Main mods I'm using:
Frostfall - Hypothermia mod. Checks the weather and area you are in to see
how cold you are. Fires warm you, clothing matters and also if you run around
in rain or go for a swim your clothes get wet which drains your "exposure points"
quicker (you can dry up around fire).
Imp's more complex needs - Basically it adds the need to eat, drink and sleep.
But under the hood, it also keeps track of nutrients, proteins, alcohol %, coffee
and all that good stuff.
Alternative start from Solitude - Game starts from the Solitude docks,
it also disables the main story. You're only carrying your clothing, nothing else.
Very much enjoying it this way. Did some farm work around Solitude first to
get enough money for better clothing (tends to be cold around Solitude
).
Took a day and half (in-game, TCx5) to get enough money for a decent bow
and sword, after which I went hunting for animals so I could sell their hides
(using some mod that boosts the prices for those a bit).
Once I felt confident to travel, I headed all the way over to Riverwood by foot
where I have the
Riverwood Hunter Cabin as a home. So now I'm there,
living a life of a hunter, selling the hides I get and stuff.
Been thinking of building a home with the creation kit and paying it with my
in-game money. For example the empty house would cost 5000 gold, adding
walls to make rooms would cost x amount etc.
