Every case I saw last I was actively brea-er, playing Skyrim, the mod devs eventually ran out of steam either because a game update broke one tiny thing that shattered everything to bits, or because they'd wound up spending more time coding the game than playing it and lost the drive to continue. Similarly, polyamory mods in Skyrim have been tried, but with varying degrees of success, for the same reason: the original system in place is tied to so dang much in the game that changing what's there is 10 times harder (and more potentially damaging) than cutting it out and replacing it wholesale, and that requires building a new system from scratch, and dealing with all the potential gremlins that could arise there.
Perhaps when Storm is more fleshed out and allows for adding/altering dialogue and scene events, a mod could be put together that would functionally allow such a thing, but it would have to either be a massive undertaking, or incredibly limited and buggy.Īs it is now-and this is entirely conjecture based on what I've witnessed in modding communities over the years, particularly from the Elder Scrolls series-with how the relationship system works, the only way I could see it being possible to make a working, not-skeletal-and-buggier-than-Florida-in-July polyamory mod would be to code an entire new relationship system for the eligible NPCs and effectively hook all of their internal calls to the relationship system out to said new structure, a la the Civil War Overhaul mod for Skyrim (which required disabling large portions of what was literally load-bearing code in many cases, as the main story quest structure was tied to several civil war elements). Such a mod would doubtless have to handle elements such as Abigail's inherent jealousy (IIRC she gets angry and loses relationship points if you even talk to other marriage candidates after getting hitched, though I don't know if other bachelor/ettes do as well) and the way the game handles adding on their respective house extensions, but it would certainly be an interesting thing to have. tl dr is highlighted down at the bottom if you don't wanna read it all.) (Translation: I wound up discussing the issue with myself while I was writing this and it kinda got out of hand.
Tarry not, fair reader, lest thine eyes cross with the wide-ranging swath of my meandering monologue.
Warning: thou shalt encounter conjectural pedantry ahead.
