About this mod

A highly customizable launcher for all of the main Elder Scrolls games (and now Fallout games too!). It allows for one-click launching for vanilla games, modded games, and even launching with DOSBox for the older games. It supports a secondary executable launched by right+clicking a game as well, handy for your mod manager, or anything else.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I use it?
This program is incredibly simple, so simple that a child could run it.  However, setting up certain launching configurations can get a bit more in-depth, so I've provided full instructions in the program's help file, so check there for more specific controls and instructions.  Help file can be accessed by tapping 'H' from the main interface, or from the right-click menu on the System Tray Icon.

Why is Todd Howard everywhere?
This program's primary purpose is to praise Todd Howard.  Starting Elder Scrolls games is a secondary function.  Seriously though, it is intentionally overboard and absurd.  It started as a joke putting his face as the program icon, and things just got out of hand from there.  However, if you don't care for it, the most extreme parts can be disabled in the settings.

Is the acronym supposed to spell toilet?
Yes.  In fact, great pains were taken to come up with an overboard, Nexus-buzzword filled title that spelled something funny.  I'm quite happy with the result.  Too long?  I affectionately call it Todd's TOILET for short.  Too immature?  Sorry, I don't plan to change it.  And really, what difference does the title make?

I found a bug, what do I do?
This was thrown together over a few days.  It is still being developed and I will probably be putting new updates up daily or even multiple times a day for a while now as new ideas come to me and bugs get fixed.  Considering how quickly it was made however, I am sure it is laden with bugs.  If you find one, please let me know.  However, if you do, please be polite and constructive about it. 

This is awesome/this sucks!
Neither is really a question, but hey. If you think this is amazing and awesome and the best thing in the world, by all means let me know! I made it for the heck of it, and I uploaded it for the heck of it.  If you think this is stupid and horrible, that's fine.  It isn't for everyone.  But don't feel the need to come here and say so.  Just don't use it if you don't care for it.

The UI looks like a 5 year old made it.
Again, not a question.  Believe it or not, I am in fact not a 5 year old, but a fully-functioning adult.  However, I am aware it looks bad, but it is a side effect of this being thrown together quickly with the intention of fixing it up later, which I am actively working on.  However, if it is so horrible then simply don't use it.  However, if you have constructive advice on how to improve it, please give it!

But Todd Howard didn't make all of these games!
Yes, I'm well aware, but does it really matter?  He was involved with a lot of them, and it is just a name, and a joke that got out of hand.

Now that you support Fallout games, the name Todd's TOILET doesn't really fit anymore because Fallout games aren't in Tamriel.
Yeah, I know, but renaming everything now would be very time consuming and introduce major complications I won't go into here.  If I feel particularly ambitious in the future I'll look into it, but for now, it will stay the same.  Fallout support is just a feature.

The likeness of Todd Howard's face belongs to Todd Howard and his mother/father alone.  I claim no ownership, nor responsibility for it.  
Anything else copyrighted in the program belongs solely to its creators, and I do not own it in any way.  The only part of this program that belongs to me is the actual code that makes it work.

In all seriousness though, Todd Howard, you are awesome.  Thanks for making these amazing games!!!
