📋 About This Mod
What is OMEGA?
In the vein of YASH, EnaiRim, Requeim, and more... OMEGA's design goal is to offer the best and most versatile gameplay overhaul available for SSE. OMEGA is the starting point for any mod build that at its core changes Skyrim into a challenging, difficult, and balanced experience.
OMEGA combines several mods into one in order to save on ESP's while removing conflicts. And it's modular, offering multiple compatibility patches so that you can pick and choose which mods to use.
This page is currently a WIP as I prep for v2. 0+ releases.
What's the TLDR version of OMEGA?
I'm so bad at "short versions" of anything...
The original design of OMEGA was to take the incredibly impressive Encounter Zone design from SR with it's increased difficulty multipliers to spawn higher level mobs and roll all of that into MLU, the best loot overhaul I'd seen, with it's recommended Weapon AF changes. However the result expanded and grew to become an All In One Mod forming the cornerstone of the best modular gameplay overhaul on SSE.
However before we delve into specifics understand that an underlying goal of OMEGA was to make combat both interesting and fun. I was sick to death of rerolling to a new character when I got into my 30's or 40's because the game got too damn easy. OMEGA includes multiple combat mods, a complete enemy overhaul mod, dragon overhaul mods, and many game mechanics overhauls as well. OMEGA isn't a Loot and EZ mod with a guide. OMEGA is THE overhaul for SSE you didn't know you were waiting for.
OMEGA is also a Mod Framework in addition to everything else. And unlike an expansive guide such as Nordic Skyrim or Lexy's LOTD, I wanted to offer something smaller yet equally useful. However offering a Modular Gameplay Overhaul while also offering AIO Mods could potentially pull my design goals in opposite directions.
To resolve the potential pitfalls of my design, I decided upon a course of action with 4 core tenets:
-
[]Offer a tight Mod Framework allowing users customization options to swap mods in and out.
[
]Offer a core group of mods/patches in an AIO Mod format that would be essential to any user.[]Offer patches since there would be incompatibilities.
[]Offer more than one way for the end user to get the full OMEGA experience.
Sorry, but OMEGA, MLU, and SR isn't for me...
I still got you fam!
The Mod Framework is Solid and doesn't require OMEGA, MLU, or SR at all. And it offers a proper L
