📋 About This Mod
Expansion pack for Character Traits Framework with many new scripted backgrounds.
Boons and Burdens - OpenMW Background Pack is a gameplay expansion for the Character Traits Framework, adding many new scripted backgrounds. With 23 endorsements and 3,378 downloads, it's a niche mod for OpenMW players seeking deeper character customization.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Fresh take on character creation with scripted backgrounds that actually change how you play.
- Solid download-to-endorsement ratio (3,378 downloads, 23 endorsements) — people are grabbing it, even if they're not all leaving feedback.
- Recently updated (August 2026), so it's likely compatible with current OpenMW builds.
⚠️ Cons
- Tiny endorsement count (23) — this is a niche mod for a niche framework, so don't expect a huge community around it.
- Requires Character Traits Framework as a dependency, so it's useless without that base mod.
For OpenMW players who already use Character Traits Framework and want more variety in their character backgrounds. If you're into roleplaying and want scripted hooks that affect your playthrough, this is a must-try. Skip if you don't use the framework or prefer simpler character creation.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have Character Traits Framework installed first — this pack is an expansion, not standalone.
- Check the mod's page for any load order notes, as OpenMW mods can conflict if not ordered correctly.
- If you're new to OpenMW modding, use a mod manager like OpenMW Mod Organizer to keep things tidy.
