Skyrim - No Spider Mod

Post » Mon Jul 18, 2011 10:18 pm

Well I am really hyped for skyrim but i am deeply arachnophobic, I assume so but just want to confirm, will there be any "no spider" mods that replace spiders with some other creature? How long after release do you think it will it be until a mod that does that comes out? Or if i were to make it myself, how hard/long would the process be?

I can pretty much guarantee there will be a mod like this.

And if the new Creation Kit is anything like the old Construction Set, then modding it in yourself won't be that tough.

i don't think there will be any spiders in the vanilla version. oblivion had no spiders at all, except for the spider daedra that lived almost exclusively in the realms of oblivion. even they never reminded me of spiders.

Uhh, there is a whole scene where the player is fighting a spider in the gameplay video. Have you been keeping up?

I don't see why most people would want to take spiders out. It will probably only be done if a large amount of people are interested in doing it...and I don't see it happening. It must be YOU my friend. Who knows how long it would take, nobody knows what the creation tool set is like. If it's anything like Oblivion's tool set, you'll have to get feedback from an experienced Oblivion modder, which is not me! :)

Are you kidding me? There have been so many of the anti-spider threads on these forums since that picture was shown....

As I said, I can pretty much guarantee there will be a mod to take out spiders.

Personally I am happy to see spiders back :P. I hope they can be on the ceilings of caves.

There will be "shelob" like spiders in Skyrim, both in appearance and size. You can see them in the game-play videos

The thing that worries me about it being tough is in oblivion, the mod was quite simple with only one type of spider (Daedra spider) but from the skyrim footage we have seen, there is several, like the one in the trailer, and the one in the picture. If spiders are involved in story missions, is it still possible to mod them out?

Won't killing them be that much more satisfying?

If you really can't stand them, then assuming Skyrim has companions, you could just send your bud/slave/pet at it when you spot one.

This is Skyrim, not Oblivion :shrug:... Spiders will surely be an integral part of Skyrim's fauna...

I'm super arachnophobic and I will NOT be modding spiders out. I like fighting monsters that scare the crap out of me... And besides, it's just a game...

Should be pretty easy to mod out, just editting a few creature forms into mudcrabs or something. Of cource, it would be odd to see mudcrabs in their webs :biggrin:

I don't see why not. You could simple remove the mesh and fight that missing mesh sign.

I lol'd. I'd give you a fishy stick, but I don't have one on hand right now.

Oh really!? I'm new to the forums so never saw the "spider threads." That surprises me that so many people are against spiders being in the game. I've always come to accept all the creatures created for TES games and others. Besides, giant spiders have been a mainstay in the fantasy world since, well, "The Hobbit"...which is as far back as most people alive can remember.

I don't understand this.
I'm afraid of heights, but you don't see me asking for a mod that removes every drop greater than 4 feet.

The truth is that if you are still able to play and stuff, you are not a "true arachnophobic", just someone who fears spiders

I'm glad to see your asking about mods. The two or three guys before asked for Bethesda to completely take spiders out or they would miss a total of one whole sale due to it.

Even though i admit it is completely unreasonable to ask the devs to take spiders out of the game, I think it is pointless to put them in.

Spiders are something that will truly prevent arachnaphobic consolites without access to mods from buying the game.

Nobody sees a game and says "damn, no spiders, definately not buying it" but even though it is probably about 1% of the gamer population, there are people that would say "damn, loads of spiders, definately not buying it"
