Any Xbox 360 mods?

[LeonitusAquilius]

hey guys, I play skyrim on xbox 360 and have never used mods of any kind. I was wondering if there are any decent ones about? I was thinking of creating a new account and giving the mod thing a go (I would be particularly interested in armor and housing mods) I've seen a few on youtube and such but have no idea if they are genuine nor how to download and install them - any help??

True mods can't be done on the Xbox version unless your Xbox was J-Tagged. You -can- alter xbox Saves on a PC version of skyrim via Console commands, but that's the limit.

I read something about saving the data to a penstick and transferring it to a console that way??

Yeah, it only works with console command edits though. You can't place things into the Xbox version that don't exist on it already. That would involve mods that can't be done easily (or following M$'s terms of use).

I see - cool - thanks for the reply

No problem!

Well, there is a way to actually put some Mods on an Xbox, with the occasional crash and such; but like Ivory said, your Console has to be J-tagged and I wouldn't sign into XBL; because this almost guarantees an instant perma-ban hammer.

The only mods you can do are from transferring your save to the PC, and then either giving it to a modder (one that isn't me, as I have a lot of PC mods on my Skyrim PC, and don't want to uninstall them) or extracting the Savegame.dat from the 360 file.

Then rename that to Savegame.ess (you can change the Savegame part to anything, but the .dat HAS to be changed to .ess).

Then you put it into your Skyrim PC folder (My Documents > Games > Skyrim).

Then just load the game, be sure that the PC version is at the same update that your console version is, and the current version for both is 1.9, torrent sites call it Update 12 (how would I know that ).

Then you can start editing your save via console, and this is SOME of what you can do:
-Rename (setactorfullname; setcellfullname (if I remember correctly), must have the Creation Kit for custom names, create a new plugin and create a new MESSAGE using the name that you want to use, as renaming can only use MESSAGES for the name)
--NPC
--Cell
--Creature

-bring up ShowRaceMenu (showRaceMenu)

-Use typically unused items and spells (must have the CK, create a small plugin that allows access to those items, spell are a bit trickier, but still easy)
--My personal favorite spell is called Bloody Grip, and it is basically Vampiric Grip (for Vampire Lords), but using it while not transformed is more fun
--Personal favorite item to use is the Elder Scroll that Serana typically uses. It just takes up the arrow slot

-Spawn static objects (placeatme; setpos; setangle)
--Walls, houses, barrels, etc
---You can build almost anything, but you can't create new cells
----What people do instead is rename a cell that isn't used, spawn its entrance, use MarkForDelete on almost every object in that cell, and basically build from scratch some kind of amazing area

Then there are the other ones that get used like:
-addspell
-setlevel
-advlevel
-setav [attribute] [value]
-additem
-setscale
-disable
-setstage

You can also use the commands to fix any bug that you come across.

Thanks for the replies guys, think i'll stick to playing the good old vanilla however as I do not have a J-Tagged console and computer programming/code and such is completely greek to me! Maybe i'll invest in the console version at a later date and give it a go that way...

I play on Xbox also. You can get console commands for Xbox, but it requires using a hex editor, etc.

No you can't.

There is NO way to enable console commands on a standard Xbox 360 console for any Bethesda game.
I remember seeing someone try to enable it by editing the ISO, but I think that just crashed
their Xbox 360s.

Hex editing would only edit the save (still wouldn't be able to open the console), and you would have to know what you are looking for (or at least have a basic understanding) to actually accomplish anything.

There are a couple Skyrim save editing tools out there (edit gold and general stats [not perks, skills, health, magic, stamina], and I think one let you add in a few items).

The most efficient way to mod any Bethesda game is to have the PC counterpart and just convert the save, and then access the console from the PC, then convert the save back, all really simple stuff, to be honest.
