Please read the FAQ, i won´t answer a comment if the question is already answered in the description.
Once the mod is installed correctly, you can find two new spells at Farengar
in Whiterun or you can travel to the west of Skyrim to a new location:
The Lord of the Rings world choice
Use the doors you can directly enter the individual worlds. Of course, neighboring areas are also interconnected.
FAQ:
1. How do i enter Middle-Earth?
- Farengar in whiterun has two new spells for you. These speels teach you
how to teleport into Middle-earth and back to skyrim. Alternatively
there is a door placed i the west of Skyrim. Fast-travel to it and enter
2. How do i start the battle of Helms Deep?
- Look behind the long wall. There are 3 glowing teleport stones on a
platform. They will bring you into the different phases of the battle.
3. How do craft new things/spells?
- Look at Elronds library, there is a desk where you can craft new
things, but you need different resources or books about the new spells
and items, so go and search them.
4. Will you update the mod and include more worldspaces?
- I have plenty of ideas for new locations, but i decided to stop working on
this mod. There are several reasons behind this decision.
I spent years on this mod and it was a really great time. But i´m not
done modding. I bought a brand-new computer for modding the game
Ark-Survival Evolved.
5. Are there any quests?
- Nope. ... Well i really wanted to include quests. At some places i
prepared scenarios for different quests. But over the years i lost the
interest in creating quests. Don´t get me wrong, i followed a first
tutorial and made one mini-quest. But that felt so time consuming, even
without the voice-lines....
I came to the conclusion, that my modding skills and interest are far more in level-design.
