Skyrim

Nexus modding competition, sponsored by Nvidia and iBuyPower

  • Comment


A few months back some folks from Nvidia got in contact with me. They were clearly impressed with the modding community and how many awesome mods there were. Last month I joined some of them for an interview while they discussed their tweak guide in detail with famous modder, Martigen. Nvidia are now one of two sponsors in a Skyrim Nexus modding competition.

The timing is perfect. The Creation Kit(tm) has just been released opening up a whole world of modding possibilities. To celebrate the impending influx of awesome mods we've teamed up with Nvidia and iBuyPower to offer some great prizes to mod authors on Skyrim Nexus.

Because I didn't want to stifle the creativity of any mod authors who wanted to participate in the competition, this modding competition is going to be slightly different to past themed competitions that we've run. Now there's no theme at all! We're running a completely open competition that all mods uploaded to Skyrim Nexus will be able to enter in to, even if you uploaded your mods before this announcement.

Prizes include a completely brand spanking new, Skyrim branded PC from iBuyPower, and some great video cards from Nvidia.

Head on over to our competition page for more details on how and what you can win!

    I hope the winners of the cards are less well known mods, it stands to reason that even although only mod author votes count towards the main prize, a mod with 5000 endorsements is going to have more mod author endorsements than one with 200. So since one of the long standing mods are taking the top spot for sure, it would be nice if an obscure mod won 2nd or 3rd place.

    Either way it's a great competition, really wasn't expecting anything so flashy as the prize ^^

    EDIT: @Thor.
    Remember the self shadows on Oblivion? Made all the NPC's look like they had two black eyes and a bad skooma addiction

    One thing thats not on the list is that terrible self shadowing on npc's and your character outside...

    I mean what where they thinking??

    Also hope the snow footprints gets modded into the game, i mean that was a big immersion killer..

    If they did those things then it means it's possible - so if they don't release them modders could try to make their own version of this mods.
