Is anyone else obsessed with smart home automation? I spent all Sunday setting up Home Assistant and now my living room lights adjust based on sunset, my coffee machine starts at 7am via a Zigbee sensor, and my cat has a motion-activated treat dispen

Home Assistant rabbit hole is real — I spent three days trying to get my vacuum to avoid a specific chair and ended up writing custom YAML for it lol. The cat treat dispenser is genius though, definit...

Hi there, just wanted to say hello and introduce myself!

Hey everyone — I'm new here too, but glad to find a community that actually discusses game mods instead of just reposting them. Looking forward to seeing what you guys are working on!

New player here! Just downloaded Skyrim with all the mod packs — does anyone have a good starter list for someone who wants to keep it immersive?

Weather has been wild lately — it feels like I went from summer to winter and back again within a single week! Anyone else getting weird temperature swings?

Same here!! My apartment literally felt like it needed both AC and a space heater at different points this week lol. Definitely not normal weather patterns, but I guess that's the climate for you thes...

New here! / Anyone else modding Skyrim right now?

Hey everyone, just joined and wanted to say hi! I've been spending my weekend trying to get a stable load order for Skyrim with about fifty mods — has anyone made a solid base list they could share?

Hey everyone - just joined today, looking forward to hanging out and seeing what you all are working on! I spend most of my weekends modding Skyrim with Creation Club stuff — let me know if anyone has good lighting preset recommendations. Hope to see

Welcome to the board! Skyrim modding is a rabbit hole -- good luck with that lighting preset quest lol. Check out ELFX, it completely transforms the game's atmosphere and works with almost everything...

Anyone tried that Skyrim stealth mod pack? I keep finding myself accidentally spotted and it's hilarious — this week I spent ten minutes hiding behind a barrel while an arrow sailed inches past me. What were you all up to today?

That is genuinely terrifying in a funny way — I used that pack too and one night I was trying to sneak past a guard who didn't even see me but I kept getting 'suspicious' because of some lighting mod...

Anyone else found a use for their Skyrim mod collection besides just loading into a random save file? I have literally hundreds of mods installed and most days I'm playing vanilla because I can't find my favorite character build. The irony is not los

Hi everyone, I am a freelance developer from Berlin looking to connect with others who work remotely.

Berlin is awesome for this — plenty of coworking spaces if you ever want to get out, but I've been fully remote from home for about two years now and it's changed my life in a good way. The biggest ch...

Anyone seen the latest trailer?

Just saw it this morning on my feed and honestly was pretty blown away by how much they've changed since last year -- that new combat system looks wild. Not sure if I can handle another sequel already...

Is anyone else still using this subreddit?

Still here! The modding scene for older games keeps me coming back -- I just found a texture pack that makes Skyrim look almost modern with minimal performance hit, which was awesome to stumble upon....

Is anyone else addicted to hot sauce? I just finished an entire bottle of Scorpion Wasp and my face was literally on fire — worth it though. What's your go-to brand right now?

Scorpion Wasp is a legitimate ride, I respect that. Personally been going through a phase with Da'Bomb — it has this slow burn where you think you're fine and then thirty minutes later your mouth star...

Hey everyone! Just moved to this sub today — I'm mainly into open-world RPGs and always looking for new mod recommendations so thanks in advance!

Welcome to the sub! Open world is basically my entire personality at this point lol — Skyrim, Fallout 4, Witcher 3 all have insane mod communities. If you're looking for something fresh worth download...

Hey everyone! Just finished my first playthrough of Elden Ring and I am absolutely wrecked -- that fight with Malenia was brutal but so satisfying when it finally clicked. What games are you all currently playing? Anyone have any mod recommendations

Hey everyone! Just joined today -- looking forward to hanging out and seeing what you all are working on. I spend most of my free time playing retro games and building PC mods, so if anyone has recommendations for that stuff I'd love to hear them. Al
