📋 About This Mod
Climbing is now its own skill that levels through use, allowing higher-level characters to reach farther ledges, climb taller surfaces, and handle difficult climbs with greater ease.
Climbing levels when you start a climb and while you are climbing.
Climbing is governed by Agility and is a Stealth Specialization.
Higher Climbing skill allows:
-
[]Reaching higher ledges
[
]Initiating climbs from farther awaySome additional rebalancing of the original Chim Climbing mechanics have been done to allow for bit more freedom to climb as well even at low levels.
I would like to add trainers and continue to refine the leveling system, i.e. the bonus you get for being higher level, and the leveling pace. I cannot promise swift updates, but I will return with more when and if I'm able.
In order to not detract from the work done by S3ctorOMW and encourage further development on the original mod I am providing this merely as an optional patch hence the requirement for the original mod.
If anyone would like to develop this further, please credit S3ctorOMW as this would have been impossible without their original work.
Mild Disclaimer: I am a novice so I apologize for any unintended bugs that may arise, and lack of future compatibility with OPENMW - Chim Climbing if it is updated. This was built as a patch for OPENMW - Chim Climbing 0. 5
A remix of the classic OPENMW Chim Climbing mod, this adds climbing as a skill that levels through use, letting higher-level characters reach farther ledges and climb taller surfaces. For players who want a progression-based climbing system in Daggerfall Unity.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Turns climbing into a proper skill with progression, so you actually get better at it over time.
- Built on the classic Chim Climbing mod, so it inherits a proven foundation.
- Small but active community (27 endorsements, 764 downloads) — niche but appreciated.
⚠️ Cons
- Only 27 endorsements — still a niche mod, so expect limited community support.
- Requires the Skill Framework mod to work, so you'll need to install that dependency.
- No detailed instructions or feature list beyond the basics — you'll need to figure out the specifics in-game.
For Daggerfall Unity players who want climbing to feel like a real skill that grows with your character. If you're tired of static climbing mechanics and want a progression hook, this is for you. Skip if you prefer vanilla climbing or don't want to manage extra dependencies.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the Skill Framework mod installed first, as this mod hooks into it.
- Since climbing levels through use, practice on small ledges early to build your skill before tackling tall surfaces.
- Check the mod's forum or comments for any known issues with other mods that alter movement or skills.
