The scope of this mod seems entirely to big...That's why its hard to believe that you did this.

You would need a team to come up with all of the things needed in this mod
-----Remodeled monuments and building
-----Dialogue
-----Textures
-----A Quest that leads to this location
-----Loot Lists
-----IMMERSION!! IMMERSION!! IMMERSION!!

But i won't say your lying because anything is possible. :tops:

From the WRYE Dictionary


Hoax Modder
Posters who claim to be working on some cool, interesting mod, but in reality are not. Generally when it reaches the point at which they should be releasing something or showing a screenshot, "their hard disk crashes, and they lose months of work, and are too depressed to try to resurrect it." Sympathy ensues. A notorius case on the gamesas forums several years ago was a poster named DarkFlame, who claimed for about a year to be working on a large expansion; he talked extensively about the mod in several topics and even posted screenshots. Turned out the whole thing was a fraud, and the screenshots were taken from a different mod. Hoax modders are distinct from http://www.uesp.net/wiki/User:Wrye/Somewhat_Acerbic_Modders_Dictionary#Tease_Modder, who actually do work but don't release it, and http://www.uesp.net/wiki/User:Wrye/Somewhat_Acerbic_Modders_Dictionary#Big_Plans_Modder, who may talk extensively about their big idea, but don't lie and claim progress that they have not actually made.

yeah the OP seems to fit the profile of a Big Plans Modder

FoxtrotZulu although I didn't expect it has been strangely showing signs of the Tease Modder...

Probably the saddest out of all of them is a variation of the Big Plans Modders. It's those people that gather a massive team of people work on a insanely huge mod for months and months and months. Then in a brilliant ball of flames it all falls apart as modders leave, progress is lost and people lose interest until its a smoldering pile of ashes. I know there was several big faction mods for oblivion that crashed and burned on the end, a thief faction and a dark brotherhood faction mod both very close to completion.

What?!?! The Dark Brotherhood one failed??? Oh yeah, now I definitely won't be reinstalling Oblivion. With Alienslof's departure and so many great projects failing, I don't know how long the OB mod community will be around...

From what i last heard it was like 90% complete when it crashed and burned. Then for some reason a group of people were insane enough to try to rebuild the entire thing again from scratch. Not sure how far they've progressed that's if their still going.

The problem with ALL of these TC's is the team is formed,
and everybody on the team has a "questionable" version of 3DsMax, at this point 99% of the team can do "Meshes" or "textures"

Step 1... an awesome Flash Website is created......and it's SO AWESOME that if 50% of the team put 25% of their efforts into
actually MAKING THE MOD, rather than making an AWESOME Website, the MOD would be FINISHED

Step 2 The "Meshes and Texture" team make 99% of the "Meshes and Textures"

yea yea "BOOYAH!!!!" the TC is going STRONG!!!!

Step 3 The team that is Organizing the project forgets that SCRIPTERS are needed.

Step 4 Close down the site, because "Nobody is Interested in the mod"

Sad to say but that sounds about right. I think the major flaw in big mods though is they expect everyone to work on it for 6-12 months and the people get to play it when its done. If they actually released it slowly in packs 1 quest every month or so we'd probably have four times as many faction mods. That's actually one of the reasons i've been suggesting just that kind of release for everyone with a large project that i've thought seemed interesting.

I've had experiences of both - one guy who said he'd put up screenshots in "four days" and then posted screenshots of precisely four days' work; and being on huge teams for huge mods that fizzled out after a month or two.

Then, of course, you get the odd one like Leeloo's Changing Faces when she showed up on April Fool's Day saying she'd been working on this mod for two years! Still giggling at this obvious hoax, people clicked on the download link and found ... two years' work. Good mod, actually. :)

Anyway, this thread is clearly going nowhere. To the OP, if you are a Leeloo and actually do have a mod close to completion, best to start a new thread posting screenshots of the substantial work you have done on it and show your genuine progress so far. This is especially essential if you are asking for people's help and advice on the matter.
