Thanks for checking out the Creation!
We're working hard at fixing issues - the amount of variables in a Bethesda game is staggering, so it can take a few iterations and a lot of eyeballs to find all the problems. The first patch is already with Bethesda, just waiting for them to approve it!
Your experience with the Jarls has me adding to my list to go dig into the setup and make sure things are correct - I know at least one of them required Speech 100, but I don't think it should have been all.
Thank you for leaving a comment and I've already pinned it so other people can see that your team is working on it. Hopefully Bethesda will send out that update soon and good luck with your new Studio.
There is an update for this creation now. You need to go to your creations and download it manually. Check kinggath creations on twitter for patch notes
@@joeykeith
i think the only way payed mods is worth it is if it was based on a subscription via the service and so long as the player is subscribed to that system, they have all access to all mods without it feeling too greedy on either Bethesda's part or even the Modder's part.
they would probably get more people to opt into that as well if they did things this way.
but also no penalties to the people who only subscribe for a month to try it out, it shouldn't ever be something that forces people into a contract that lasts years, it should always be voluntary.
Nice to see you expanding into Skyrim!
I usually role-play starting off a play-through as a craftsman-tradesman, so this mod is perfect for the way I play Skyrim.
I was just happy to have more vendors to sell my wares. Having a steady flow of resources and someone to haul away my loot is a nice addition.
exactly. its really good for survival mode too. it changes gameplay for sure. thanks for the comment
I will gladly buy these mods. However, I wish these were all sold as creations rather than as mods. I want them to be "official", lore friendly and not disable achievements.
that's understandable
It is ok this new update disabled achievements. It broke a ton of things and modders do not want to fix their mods again do that others can make money.
@@acyour That's my point. The creations were all QA tested, balanced gameplay wise and lore-friendly to a point where achievements did not get disabled. I would prefer that Bethesda put out more content like that, even if it is paid.
There is A mod that re-enables Achievements as well,so,there is that,yes it would be nice if it was there in-game,it isn't PVP after all..
Kinggath has a video on his YT channel explaining the plans for this and his team. Including the announcement of this now official game studio. So if I were going to be buying any creation, it'd probably be this one. With his track record i'm more than comfortable with it. All revenue goes towards funding this new company, which means he gets to pay his team as employees, which in turn means he can keep paying staff and VAs to make more mods. I'm not going to go into detail, he does a great job at that in the video(s), just go watch it if you haven't. 👍
I agree 100%. when I see Kinggath I take look. They are awesome!
He also said he would not do this to Fallout4 because he knows how evil it is. I personally am in a unusual situation. Because normally I have a playthrough going un one of these games. But I made sure both Skyrim and Fallout was finished. That way I could concentrate on Starfield. What a bust that was.
So I have gone through all my mod load orders and have Purged it of all his BS mods. Yeah SS2 is great for what it does. But it uis just as fun building the settlements by hand. It was just a lazy way to do settlements. Part 3 was not so great. Considering I always destroy the Brotherhood. How and why would they come help with raiders. Made no sense. Nah King can go fvck himself with the rest. Go make money on Starfield leave the older games alone.
"All revenue"
You mean, 30%, right? We did our research, correct?
Not so long ago people were bashing a modder for charging money on his DLSS mod...
Great work on this video! Seems like a really cool mod.
Thank you
I bought and downloaded the mod but the Khajiit won’t meet me outside when I clear a dungeon. Is there anything I can do?
I did buy it. And had a very similar glitch. But it was the quest line. After I was suppose to follow him back to camp, I lost him. And the game was not showing were to go. But after reloading It was there. But overall, fun mod!
I enjoyed it and I'm glad you were able to get past the glitch. unfortunately reloading didn't fix it for me. It really wasn't that big of a deal though. Thanks for the comment
Kinggath would be someone I trust to put a high quality product worth buying.
Same. I was confident saying it was worth it. Thanks for the comment
You did a nice job Joey,
thanks!
I'm just gonna say, after Sim Settlements, I'll put money toward anything with Kinggath heading the mod.
That team is great!
I'm doing a run now with this as a key mod
so basically vary slow skill leveling and trainers can train more then 5 times gold now has wight and i can by property and invest in them so in short gold in now exp
This seems like a really excellent addition to Skyrim, but as a Stormcloak enjoyer it feels kind of traitorous and immersion breaking to allow the East Empire Company to expand across the entire province in the middle of their civil war.
It'd be nice if there was a Stormcloak version of this or at least a way to properly justify why the Stormcloaks would allow this.
Wow I didn’t think of that. Good thought
The Stormcloaks aren’t at war with The Company that literally operated in Windhelm in Vanilla.
I'm subscriber #1000!
OMG thank you soo much! I've been waiting for that for a while now!!
Hello! can someone help me with my issue I’m having. I purchased the PS4 Skyrim Anniversary Edition it won’t let me complete the download and I went to creation section and it doesn’t show everything like this creation the east Empire Expansion and the Gun creation. I hat am I doing wrong. Thanks in advance
You’re not doing anything wrong. PlayStation doesn’t allow any creation that include new assets that didn’t ship with the game so some won’t be allowed there unfortunately. I’m not sure why it wouldn’t let you complete the download though. Try reinstalling and if that doesn’t work then get in touch with PlayStation support
@@joeykeith so I purchased the ps4 Skyrim anniversary edition (CD)and I try to play it and there’s a upgrade button (square)for Anniversary Edition at home page but when I press square and it’s telling me that the content can’t not be selected at this time
Is the creation club East empire expansion for and that Katja and gun mod for ps4? Anyone please
Anyone know how to claim a dungeon? Google has no results :(
yes. just put the pendant in a container. once all the enemies are gone, the dungeon will automatically get claimed. make sure it's a clearable dungeon by going to the local map. by the name of the dungeon, it should say something like cleared or clearable.
How big in mb do u need free to be able to download this mod? I can not see it prior buying. 😢 in xbox
I am not sure about that. I feel like you should see it even if your space is full on Xbox. If I hear anything I'll let you know.
@@joeykeith well i see it on the creation store, but just the fact that is 700points.i wouldn't buy it if i can't use it with my mod list. Or are paid crestions free in terms of mod space? Would be weird though.
I don't know if these are similar to how C.C. mods operated,but they used to have heavily discounted sales, sometimes certain mods would be free,if you download them within A timeframe,still this one adds A while new dimension to Adventuring in Skyrim, and being the creator (s) of Sim-Settlements,you know they spent time and effort on them..
Yea it’s great
Does this work with mod-added Dungeons? Anyone know?
That’s a good question. I’m not sure. It should though
Did it inyerfer with the grat city of solitude?
I didn't notice anything wrong in solitude but I didn't have any mods installed either.
I bought the mod but I can’t even use it.. I followed the cat all the way back with all the items I gave him and the items aren’t there in the box and I can’t continue the quest because of it
Try fast traveling away then back
@@joeykeith thanks! It actually fixed it
@@workablesmiles4517 no problem
OK, but my question is what if the items don’t spawn in for Xbox or PS4, I’ve been having problems I waited an hour and spawn and I waited 24 hours and another 24 hours didn’t spawn in that stupid chess
I’ve seen someone else say this too. Kinggath creations has a website and I think they have a discord too. He posted on X that he submitted patches for the creation to Bethesda but they haven’t released them yet. If I hear anything else I’ll try to comment about it here
A for-profit company charging money for its product? Seems completely normal. I wouldn't think twice about the case for my cell phone having a price tag. Both companies are piggy-backing on the success of another product, so what? Now you might say that the amount charged is not reasonable compared to value received. That's a valid opinion and reason not to buy it. Personally, I would treat this more like a Kickstarter, where I feel like I'm paying to help the studio, not necessarily for this product. If I get free expansions and bug fixes, great!
Agreed. I maybe dedicating time to showing people the value, if any with these creations moving forward. It depends on how well the videos perform of course but hopefully they will be helpful for people. Thanks for the comment.
The arquebus is broken on Xbox for me I get a big white box with a white arrow on my left reload hand.
thanks for letting us know. I'm in the process of reviewing that creation now. I haven't seen that so far.
I know paid mods are a touchy subject however since most of the money goes to mod authors I’m ok with giving them money if the content is of sufficient quality and in this instance I think it is.
right now I'm planning to review other creations as well to see if the price is right. we will see if they live up to the quality of this one. thank you for the comment
Paid mods are 100% against the spirit of Skyrim modding. There's a reason no one was charging money for them over the last twelve years.
@@justinfowler5761sounds like you feel entitled to other people’s labor and creativity
I thought Bethesda gets 70% and the mod authors get 30%.
Im not getting any money from them. Anyone know what im doing wrong? They have loads of my stuff, and ive got 2 jarls signed up, and a half dozen dungeons claimed.
Look up kinggath creations there should be a discord you can join to get support. I saw on X that they submitted some patches for the creation but were waiting on Bethesda to put them in the game. I hope that helps and good luck
I recently bough the Anniversary Edition, and I was surprised by all the new content added to game. Ive never played this version, only the old Skyrim with mods. I dont understand and dont even know the best way to start modding again this version of the game, alongside with all those official creations and paid mods, but I know that at least it will make thee game more fresh and alive in a way. My only issue is with the overrall state of the game, Bethesda doesnt really care about solving all those bugs, and even with simple and important mods like The Unnoficial Skyrim Patches it will mostly break my game .-.
I feel your pain. Are you on PC or console?
@@joeykeith PC. Is way more easy than the console versions. Still, Im not going to downgrade my game yet to play with some mods, at least not yet. Gonna see what the future brings to Skyrim lol
@@lucanhenrique7457 I like using mod collections on the nexus. “Immersive & adult” and “immersive & pure” collections are some of the best supported through discord. They might have it taken down right now because of the update but it will be back up soon. Collections are one click installs and it installs hundreds of mods for you if you didn’t know
I just recently got back into Skyrim, seeing as I never beat its DLC, the dragonborn one or the Vampire one, and I own it all on PC. I installed the Nolvus modpack, and its insanely rich with mods and new content. Considering how much Nolvus adds for FREE, I won't be bothering updating or paying for anything Skyrim related. Never going to pay a penny to Bethesda trying to monetize mods. Nolvus alone is like an entire new game, like a HD remaster, I'm finding entire new NPC's quests, fully voiced, with all this new equipment, weapons and even camping, and new abilities and perk trees. ITs WAY more involved than East Empire mod, and its free.
I genuinely had no idea how insane the modding community was for these games, I even have Starfield using like 150 mods now, and will eventually look into Fallout 4 again (since I never beat that either).
That’s awesome it’s good to see new people getting into modding. I’ve been modding Bethesda games for many years now and it’s awesome. Have fun with it but if you can please support the mod authors through patreon at the minimum. They put a lot of hard work into those mods and they would appreciate your support. Personally I enjoy paying the creators for their work but you do whatever you can. No problems from me either way. Oh and have a wonderful ready of your day.
the glitched quests will be patched soon
I'm sure it will be. Kinggath is really good about that.
Thanks for this!
No problem It was fun to do and I hope it helped
Will this be coming to PlayStation 🥺🥺🥺
Unfortunately I don’t think so. From my understanding, PlayStation doesn’t allow any assets to be added with creations other than what shipped with the game.
@@joeykeith o yea that’s right true was just thinking where it was added with creation o well thanks best of luck 🤗🤗🤗
after talking to a jarl you can go back and check a ledger for a 3rd way to unlock each free
Is this mod in ps 4
I don’t think so because PlayStation doesn’t allow new assets but I could be wrong
I might have to get an Xbox solely for skyrim.Because it seems like the definitive way to play It.Because for some reason sony won't allow any of the full creation up downloads to be enjoyed on their system
I hear you. I play on PC and if you can save the money, I would highly recommend going that route. Especially for modding games
Can’t seem to get the quest to start no matter what I do… SOS 😢
make sure the dungeon is clearable. some are not. you may need to be close to Whiterun as well. you can tell if a dungeon is cleared by looking at it on the map after you take down all the enemies. I hope that helps and good luck
@@joeykeith they were definitely clearable and were cleared when I left, but I’ll try your advice to do something closer to whiterun! Thanks 😊
good luck @@aaronkahn-bork1120
@@joeykeith still not working :/
is the post at Whiterun. it should be across the road from the carriage. if it's not there, make sure the creation is enabled. sometimes when you download a mod it doesn't get added to your load order. also try starting a new character and run straight to a dungeon and clear it. good luck @@aaronkahn-bork1120
..... Feel like I got ripped off.... Skyrim came out when I still had a thermometer sticking out of my ass it's been runnin for so long.... I'm pretty sure SOMEBODY felt like this game was a rip when they started changing shit around back in 2008 + 1 day after.
thanks for the comment and the view I understand if you dont like something and respect your opinion
Skyrim wasn't released until 2011.
microtransactions for a 12 year old game, POG!
they should release a skyrim mod that automates all of the game so you don't have to play this garbage
I totally get what you're saying. Thanks for checking out the video and commenting.
i don't like the idea of paying for mods individually, but i'm not against them if it was set up as a small subscription fee and just allowed the user unlimited access to the mods.
at least this way both the modder and bethesda get their cut and the player doesn't feel quite as scammed, like i get your thoughts on this game being 12 years old and all, but what you don't understand is this game is still popular today which is why they are constantly trying to capitalize on it's success, they would be idiots not to try something like this as addicting as this game is to people.
to be honest with you, they probably wanted to do this with skyrim from the beginning, but didn't know how to do it up until now.
Dont really see the point of trying to get rich when there’s not enough to spend it on.
Are you going to pick up this mod and which creation would you like to see a video on next?
NEVER
@@Hernan_Deyvi2023 I completely understand.
Well I have already downloaded this particular mod. It was glitchy. I found at least on my game, if I saved and restarted the game the missing creature or item would spawn. My late wife bought a crap load of creation club credits on our steam account many years ago. So I used them to get all the available new mods. Once I have used them up I probably won't buy more.
@@RedTBasco I’m sorry about your wife. Thanks for the comment. I’m glad you got around the glitch. That didn’t work for me for some reason.
Wish I could play it, it isn’t on console just computer 🙄 so eh
This should be on console. I'll have to check when I get home but in the menu click on creations. if its not there maybe you need to update? not sure
@@joeykeith thanks for the reply. But no it isn’t. Please check cuz I can’t get a straight answer. I straight deleted Skyrim and redownloaded it so it is updated. They only gave 2 new options and both houses. Nothing else 🤷🏼♂️ if you get an answer I would love to know what you find out. New sub by the way love Skyrim videos.
thank you so much. I have an Xbox at home. My kids mostly use it, thats why I didn't look. are you on Playstation? @@steve7189
@@steve7189 Sony doesn't allow the technology needed for many of the mods, which is why PlayStation only gets two houses and Xbox gets everything.
@@joeykeith yes Ps5. It updates it with the new scheme and everything however it just only has the 2 houses for sale nothing else. Well def not the East empire expansion. Would love to see a vid about why not. I’ve been googlin and looking everywhere to why not, nobody knows.
If you love Skyrim and don't want to spend half your game dealing with loot, buy this mod.
PS, there's some nice story and voiced NPCs in it too.
There is SO MUCH in this mod for 6 euros! And the way it handles loot offers a smart and lore-friendly way to deal with your inventory.
KingGath's team are famous among mod users because the quality of their stuff (and after support like bugfixing) is top notch. There's no way that 6 euros/player equates to any kind of salary for the modders.
A 6 euros, they are still accepting player enjoyment as their income!
But hopefully there's enough in this 6 euros to keep the team together making stories, and keep VA's coming back.
I honesty cannot understand why people expect 100's of hours of work (and continued support) for free?
Sim Settlements has an incredible expansive story. It's the reason FO4 is my favourite game. Its worth at least 5x Farharbor (which we were happy to pay for)
I want KingGaths team to do more huge story espansions across other bethesda games, how can I ask for so much without offering a payment to offset the TIME this stuff takes?
/rant.
Joke on you I am into that "dealing with loot", so this mod is useless.
You can pay Kinggath for all his hard work without helping Bethesda ruin the community. I dont understand why this is such a hard concept for some of yall to grasp. Unless your on console, then god bless your poor soul. Years from now after all the damage is already done mods are no longer free and it cost over $200 to play a Bethesda game, its gonna be too late to look back. Better hope its all worth it.
This creation is great. We will see what happens when Bethesda changes the price of credits but for now yes its totally worth it for $5-8 US. thanks for the comment.
Just stop picking up every little thing you see. Get married then use your wife/follower as a pawn shop. Cannot believe people are throwing money away so easily with inflation running wild.
The game has aged. We all know how it plays, what it does, all its mechanics. I won't upgrade due to these reasons. I refuse to spend any money on something this outdated (Bethesda did nothing to fix this game), regardless of the few mods that actually make it on the new Creations. I can always load up my old Skyrim with 150 mods free and get lost for a few days. And without any charge! It's bigger than just Skyrim, but Fallout 3, 4 and NV are probably headed this way. Starfield too, but that's dead on arrival IMHO. There's only so many coats of paint you can brush on this game, but it's the world & exploration that is fascinating. Not holding my breath for ES6 with Bethesda's History, but I am for the Witcher 4.
Totally understand. thanks for the comment.
I dont think it likes ryn's whiterun outskirts...
if that mod edits the same area then probably not. thanks for bringing that up.
I don't even want the AE creation club content
fair enough. thanks for the comment and I hope you have a wonderful day
a mod i would pay for is a "skyrim-turn based combat-mod" .
a mod which would switch to a isometric view when a battle starts and would play out like divinity original sin 1 and 2 or something similar.
because im really bored of that clunky combatmechanics and i play with every good combatmod combinations out there , its just crap.
turnbased would also make alot of sense with the rpg mechanics of the game.
Balder's Gate 3 is great for that! And it just won GOTY. For good reasons too! I still think Skyrims combat is fine for the time it came out personally, but I do hope it gets updated when the next game comes out. eventually lol
Why didn't you just buy a dragon age game then lol. Skyrim pretty clearly presents itself as an action game, so people who wants to play turn-based RPG wouldn't buy Skyrim.
@@hoangkienvu7572 dragon age isnt turnbased, just saying.
i have most turnbased games but skyrim and oblivion are special to me.
i think turnbased combat would fit perfectly to skyrim and even more to oblivion, which has even worse combat mechanics.
i hope that someone makes such a mod one day xd
@@horror11 it just sounds like you're comparing an apple to an orange. You don't have to play a Bethesda game, put your money and time into a game company that makes game you like, instead of buying a game you don't like and wait for modders to do their work.
@@hoangkienvu7572 dude chill , i have more than 10k hours in bethesda games.
thx for ur advice and i will hope a modder does what i like , ok ?
peace 🙂
Bought the mod, been playing....still have not decided if it was worth the money. What does irritate me is the amount of bugs. Even if they are fixed in the future that does not justify charging for a mod that has so many glitches. Design, test, fix, release.....releasing then waiting for your users to tell you what is wrong is so Microsoft. That said, I had a container in my house with a ton of stuff that I had been putting off selling. Dropped an EE thingy in it, courier came and emptied container. That was kinda cool. Clearly didn't wipe his feet before walking about in my home but whatever. Pretty sure I had a sweet roll on the table...wth!
You’re absolutely right. If this creation didn’t add as much as it did, I wouldn’t think it was worth it but if you play survival mode a lot this is great. Thanks for the coment
The video was great but missing mod 'features'.
Absolute waste of money. I just bought Skyrim AE for $16 on GoG, this useless mod costs half that and requires scummy currency conversion. Would not recommend for PC players, console jockeys likely have little choice as intended.
Thanks. Xbox has a lot of mods that are free. Pretty much anything that doesn’t require SKSE. PlayStation on the other hand doesn’t allow anything that has any different assets hat didn’t come with the game. Thanks for the comment
Why do you think everyone plays pc. I do not need this.
If bethesda is going to charge money they need to put out pc like game overhaul mod packs to consoles
Make Skyrim feel more modern with modern game mechanics graphics animations and physics all in a stable pack tested by professional bethesda members for the xbox series
I doubt they would ever be that ambitious but it would be cool if they did
I appreciate a not bought out person reviewing it. But i have to be honest, i will never pay for these mods on the sole basis that bethesda keeps trying this with the same game and never wants to try this on their new (less popular) games. 12 years and still breaking the game.
I totally understand. the way I see it, they are here now, and someone needs to take a look at them and let consumers know if it's worth their money. I think my criteria is going to be at least one of 3 things. these creations have to 1 be a gameplay changer. 2 add dungeons because IMO Skyrim is a dungeon crawler game or 3 add new areas with quests and new experiences with voiced NPCs that are lore accurate. this update should make it where when new creations are added, the game wont update anymore so mods should not break anymore unless they change something like the storefront. thanks for your comment.
ahhhh, so this is the part of the internet that defends paid mods, got it.
I think I got lost, so I go back to the normal pll.
Ooops, made a wrong turn.
yeah get this shit off my recommended lol
Thanks for the comment and I respect your opinion. I'm not supporting or fighting against "paid mods". they're here and I'm just trying to show people what they are before they spend money on it if they choose. I'm sure in the future my opinions wont be as good as they are about this creation but this one is good.
It happens to the best of us@@devindickens9321
This guy needs to quit smoking, ASAP
I don't smoke
do not buy paid mods. Support free mods by Patron or other direct to the modder support. You reviews are helping them succeed.
most of my reviews say that they are not worth the money though.
I've enjoyed Kinggath's work in the past, but I will not be purchasing any paid mods. Im really disappointed in him for being involved in all of this. I
That’s understandable
`Myeah , no thank you ! There are better Quest mods free !! I will never pay for mods !!
thanks for the comment and I totally respect your opinion. I completely understand where you're coming from and you have all rights to feel any way you need to about any subject. have a wonderful day
I will not buy any paid mods from Bethesda...never. It could add a whole continent to explore with an entire game's worth of content, I will not buy it.
Actually most of the 6 euros this costs goes to the MOD TEAM, not Bethesda.
I would happily trade a sandwich for what they have made here.
ignore them i think someone fed him some misinformation @@RandomWandrer
@@RandomWandrer,the problem is once you start paying others will follow.
Its not a matter of sandwich anymore.
Soon you will find PAID MODLIST.
IMAGINE A PAID 2000 MODLIST
Facts once I get my hands on Beyond Skyrim, I'll no longer have to worry about this nonsense. Shit I'll even pay for that mod, ON PATREON because I get some of these authors deserve some coin for their hard work. Fuck Bethesda.
Yes I want to see a little on the special side
It does not matter how good the paid mods are. It is Sleazy AF to set up a paid mod marketplace for a 12 year old game.
KingGeth in particular made a comment . Do not worry we will Not do this to Fallout 4. That is our playground but Skyrim we don't care about so we will practice there. So they know what they are doing is predatory and scummy.
There are a bunch of Skyrim modd author who fefuse to fix ther Mods AGAIN do to this "update".
Next will be Fallout 4. They are going to ruin it as well. Now there is a way around this Bull$hit. GoG has a version of Skyrim not connected to the Updates. So if you have the GoG version you are fine.
They should have NEVER touched Skyrim again. And save it for Starfield. A game that is by far subpar and needs help.
