TWMP Skyrim Alive

This mod fills in the province of Skyrim. This project started because I wanted to replace a few trees!

When events start developing, the hero will have to choose but one path. Make sure you don't miss your chance to choose, or that you don't dismiss the main quest altogether. Your choice will determine your path later on, as the story continues in the future installments. And that includes the lack of choice as well - the Path of the Undecided.

A video tour

MagicaAddict created a video tour of some of the sites of TWMP Skyrim using the excellent game footage from PsymonPrime. You can watch it on YouTube:

A game in Skyrim

You can play the whole game in Skyrim, starting from level 1. This mod is designed with starters in mind, you will miss out on progression if you start above level 5 or so. You can go to Cyrodiil at any point and play the Oblivion Main Quest too. It is not necessary to "train up" your character before going to Skyrim. However, Skyrim will generally remain somewhat more challenging than vanilla Cyrodiil. Bring your axe.

When starting at a level below 20, it is highly recommended to make creature spawn leveled with the TWMP Skyrim Less Scary mod from the Optional Files. Otherwise you may be overwhelmed anywhere in the wilderness. Equally, when playing at much higher levels, making creatures leveled would increase overall difficulty of the game and actually make it more scary.

If you want to start the game in Skyrim, use an alternate start mod - see Optional Extras below.

This mod builds upon TWMP Skyrim Improved by Haldar. I tried to make a seamless addition, so you would not be able to tell where one mod ends and the other one begins - they both build one land.

Lore

TWMP Skyrim is not based on TES5 Skyrim because it predates it. Yes, TWMP Skyrim is older than TES5 Skyrim. The land layout is based on the lore from Arena and Daggerfall. This is an interpretation of the older lore with a few elements from TES5 Skyrim, where they fit in with that older lore.

The story in TWMP Skyrim Alive is new. It is based on the older lore of Arena, Daggerfall and Morrowind but does not follow it to the letter. It may be in breach of it here and there, especially where the lore is already in breach with itself. Here too some elements from TES5 Skyrim make an appearance, as well as some winks and nods towards other stories and universes.

This story is not fixed in time. It may be happening around the time of the Oblivion Crisis, or it may be happening earlier or later, there is nothing specific to anchor it in any epoc
