If you want to know why this based retard deleted all his mods here's what he posted on reddit:Ok so against my better judgement I've decided to write up a short explanation about why I canned Wyrmstooth and my comics. I didn't think it would be necessary to say anything simply because I didn't think many people out there would give a toss. First and foremost though I have to thank and apologize profusely to the people who lent their vocal and musical talent to Wyrmstooth. I just wish I had it in me to have been able to make something that they would've been proud to reference as part of their portfolio.Long story short, I lost my job and I guess the bitter realization is that some of the thousands of hours I sunk into these pet projects probably should've been spent on slightly more important things, like keeping my qualifications up to date so I wouldn't find myself in this situation. But hey, lesson learned (insert Dark Souls 'You Died' sound here). To me, making mods and comics was like that one good thing in your life that stops you from jumping into your car and driving it. I love making mods and comics, so much so that I don't trust that I'll have the self restraint to simply put them aside even in a situation like this.

The Stannis Baratheon choice had to be made (yes I know how he ends up) and even now I'm finding it difficult to resist the urge to just start again from scratch and begin working on a huge mod for Fallout 4, but thinking about where my life will be in the next 6 months if I do is also kinda scary. I didn't enjoy deleting something I spent so much time working on but I know that if I didn't I'd probably be sitting here either working on Wyrmstooth 1.17 or the next chapter of the comic instead of job searching and I'm in absolutely no position to do the former.Next stop Centrelink, all aboard the welfare train. Choo choo!TL;DR: Lost my job, need to get my life in order, deleted everything because I don't trust I'll have the self restraint to just leave without going back to the thing that I love doing. Modders like jonx0r are what's wrong with the modding community. Accidentally hurt their egos with constructive criticism? Maybe they're having a bad day? Trump won the election?
Too bad, bye bye mods. Goo goo gaa gaa!!! This is why cathedral modding is far superior to parlor modding.The sheer fact that the mod author doesn't let caretaker reupload this to nexusmods only serves to prove how much of a self-entitled spoilt child he is.Go and get this mod from instead and show some support for the people that actually care about sharing mods.Much love.
Don't be misguided by these loathful reviews.This is a great mod. A new worldspace, beautifully crafted with extreme attention to detail, with good ties to the mainland Skyrim, so you don't feel like it's a separate part of your game.
A simple utility that allows you to monitor the inbound/outbound data from your Mac Wi-Fi/Ethernet connection. In particular, the application is useful for those that use a mobile connection with a daily/weekly/monthly limit of traffic (GB bundle) that should not.
I play on a heavily modded game that has mods like Falskaar, Vigilant, Bruma, Moon and Star, The Forgotten City, The Grey Cowl of Nocturnal. And Wyrmstooth owns its place there along all those great mods. It is, and will be forever a classic of Skyrim modding.While I respect everyone's opinion, I can't help but read a mean feeling behind so many people taking time to leave the really negative/depreciative reviews I'm reading here. It's not like you're helping people by discouraging them from trying the mod. It seems to me like you guys either have bitter feelings towards the mod author, or you're bitter people yourselves. The internet has too many trolls like you. Pros:.
About 2-3 hours of new content. The new island included in the mod is fairly well detailed. Lots of new locations and hidden easter eggs to reward players that choose to explore.
New ambient music tracks are pretty well done and fit in with the main game.Cons:. Boring main quest. Huge winding dungeon crawl just to kill a dragon, something the main game is oversaturated with. Very few side quests. I could barely find anything else to do once the main quest was done.
Too much copy/paste from existing locations in Skyrim. Landscape is very generic, looks identical to Skyrim, nothing new. Poor voice acting, poor audio quality, poor writing. Buggy/unstable, potentially savegame corrupting. Uninstalling this mod will require you to reload an older save. From what I've heard, this mod has had a long history of technical issues. Author is a selfish asshole that took the mod down from Nexusmods in a hissy fit.I'd recommend trying Beyond Skyrim, Vigilant, or Falskaar first.
Maybe if you've already tried everything else and still want new content. Just back up your save game first before installing this. Wow look at the last 2 reviews.

Never since this mod came out for LE many years ago have I had one that I traced to it (yes I know how to find the mod causing the problems).learn to mod. It helps.To the one before it (which was thorough and took some time) Please remember.these mods are FREE. Your review looks like something you PAID for.
Also of note Wyrmstooth was his FIRST mod. I challenge any of you to put your keyboard down and create your own first mod of this size AND make it into the realm of classics for a major title. Right up with Falskaar and others. If you are such accomplished modders that can take the time to write these kinds of 'reviews', try your 'skillsets' at doing what Jonx0r pulled off many years ago.and pulled if off to perfection on a modders budget which is nothing considering mods are FREE. So voice acting.really?
Send them money to be able to afford these luxuries that you so easily cut down. Just came across this page and unlike the useless comments below decided to write an actual review.World Design - ● ● ● ○ ○While the island isn't flat as a pancake it is still quite bland and empty. Author tried and failed to give the island a Morrowind/Far Harbor flavor as it still looks too much like basic Skyrim. Very few custom assets were introduced and the visually appealing locations like the swamp are places the player is unlikely to ever see as they are completely uninvolved in the main story.Level Design - ● ○ ○ ○ ○Author copied and pasted vanilla dungeons together. Even house interiors. I'm sorry but you get an F. There is one completely dark dungeon that was quite eery.
Good concept I guess but again it's completely uninvolved in the main quest so most players will never see it.Sound Design - ● ● ● ○ ○Some new ambient sounds expecially along the coast. Most of it is stock or royalty free from, I highly doubt the author took the time to record actual environmental sounds.
New ambient sounds should've been added to dungeons to make them seem a bit less generic but that would've required some effort.Music - ● ● ● ● ○Probably the only redeeming feature of this mod. Not quite sure I understand why the composer got involved in this project in the first place, but sure. A pity there were only a handful of tracks.
There are lots of mini-dungeons that could've used their own unique track or two. Day and night could've used a few more tracks as well but the composer probably realised the mistake he was making and booked it.Voice Acting - ● ● ○ ○ ○A bit of a mixed basket. Don't get me wrong, I don't think the voice ACTING is particularily bad per se, but the audio recording quality on the other hand is a different story.
The NPCs you spend time with the most also have the worst audio quality. And yes, there is a difference between voice acting and audio recording quality.Writing - ● ○ ○ ○ ○Some lines made me cringe so hard I actually felt pain in my chest. I'm not making that up for this review either, I actually did feel genuine pain - the kind you get when you hear somebody scraping their nails down a chalkboard. I feel sorry for the voice actors. Pro tip for mod authors out there: if you can't write, don't.
Bring somebody else on board to write the NPC dialogue and journals instead.Story - ● ○ ○ ○ ○'Go to new island, take the longest route possible to get to the dragon's lair, kill said dragon. Still a better love story than Twilight.Stability - ● ● ● ○ ○Unlike some of the horror stories I've heard about this mod I never encountered any save-game corrupting crashes. I encountered a few CTDs, some were self-inflicted by my own stupidity, but some occurred while I was just walking around the island. I know the performance optimization for new worldspaces is completely broken in Skyrim's Creation Kit and mod authors are forced to work around it so I don't know what to suggest here.Overall - ● ● ○ ○ ○If you like basic no-mod Skyrim, a boring 2-3 hour dungeon crawl copy/paste and can stand crusty voice acting reading painfully bad lines of dialogue then this mod is for you. For the rest of us without autism, I would suggest trying Vigilant, The Forgotten City, and Beyond Skyrim Bruma instead for their quality and attention to detail.20k views to 7 likes says all that needs to be said about Wyrmstooth. You took down your mods and obliterated your online presence because modding was taking over your life and you didn't trust yourself, and then you suddenly upload a 'newer' version of your mods on some backwater archive, going against the reason you removed your mods in the first place.How can we be sure you're really Jonx0r?
How do we know you're the real deal and not some jerk using that name to avoid punishment or steal credit?If you really are Jonx0r, then prove it! Unban you r Nexus account and post these newer versions there. Send them to the Care Taker if you don't want to support them. Until you put these on a well-known mod site, we have no reason to trust that you're really Jonx0r.
