    I'm making this thread because one time I downloaded the Skyrim Romance Mod when I switched from Xbox to PC and realized I could mod my game now. I didn't know what it was, (they pitched it as "male players get all of these sexy follower mods so this one's for the ladies) and ended up being subjected to a follower named Bishop who mocked me whenever he wasn't sexually harassing me, a ball that shouldn't have been there and didn't work, and a bunch of bizarre NPCs that didn't fit the game. (Turns out they were from Neverwinter Nights 2.)



    Anyways, this is the king of bad Skyrim mods but maybe you guys have other experiences?

    President Keemstar isn't even the worst thing about this mod.

    For bad skyrim mods, I can always think back to Novajam. And as OP said with the Skyrim Romance Mod, Novajam covered an older version of it, one where Bishop's voice actor didn't sound like some creepy serial killer but instead a 20 something douche.

    Foulserpent did a good look at the mod BTW in seeing how it all went and knowing how not only Bishop was a sexually harasser but everyone making the player out to be a Mary Sue romance character while also being some flavor of sexual harasser. And it's good to see the video again in just how this whole "romance" was written.

    That said in bad Skyrim mods, I remember playing one years ago after watching Novajam play it.

    Even after knowing what to expect, the only good it was for was in a laugh. I still can't get over an Imperial soldier sounding like a 13 year old while trying to clear out a fort that literally was already under Imperial control.

    I haven't touched any Skyrim mods for a serious play-through beyond a UI overhaul, bug fixes, and something to make faces look less derp but I can never forget, back on the other site and on a Skyrim modding site that had a list of unrecommended mods, how some someone made a mod for horse vaginas, all for the sake of "realism." I know one could say something about how horses IRL would have their balls and the like showing and it could aid in immersion and realism but the idea of making a mod just for that just felt like "WAT" at the time.

    The one saving grace the mod might have is the team trying to unbork the game and make it functional. The best part of the game unironically was a graffiti that literally called out the head of the developer behind the game in not paying anyone that worked on it.
