Now available (for 72 hours?) free standalone total conversion mods for Skyrim and Oblivion on the GOG site.

Enderal: Forgotten Stories (Skyrim)

Nehrim: At Fate's Edge (Oblivion)
Ok it appears both can be downloaded for free outside of GOG. lol

First of all: These are NOT FREE STANDALONE total conversions: They still require the respective base games.

Secondly, it's probably fair to mention the homepage of these mods, where not only they can be downloaded (free), but where you can find and download two free total conversions of Morrowind (Myar Aranath and Arktwend), too: https://sureai.net/.

Read the GOG pages before posting saving the embarrassment of being proven wrong.

'Skyrim Special Edition needs to be owned on GOG but it does not have to be installed to run the mod'
'Oblivion needs to be owned on GOG but does not need to be installed to run the mod'

Both have file sizes much larger then the maker's downloads.

Thanks for confirming my point. Both Nehrim and Enderal require a legal ownership of their respective base games. That these base games don't have to be installed in addition to their total conversions is correct, but it doesn't make the total conversions playable for everyone (or what does "free standalone" mean?).

You could have such an installation from the beginning, when Nehrim and Enderal were released: Just install the base game. download the total conversion from the SureAI site and run the installation procedure (it's what I did at the time). Moreover, the GOG offer is not available for all legal owners of the base game, but for the GOG owners only. Understandable, but the SureAI offer is available for all owners.
Finally that the file sizes are larger than the SureAI downloads is understandable: The total conversions need files from the base games to run, too.

Can we agree that Nehrim and Enderal are total conversions of their base games, free for all legal owners of the base games, that GOG offers standalone installations for the GOG owners of the base games, and that Nehrim and Enderal are available on the homepage of the developers, sureai.net, too?
Epic fail on making excuses for not reading the GOG mod pages first. lol

I didn't reply to the GOG mod pages, but to your misleading statement "free standalone total conversion mods". The GOG mod pages say clearly that the "free standalone total conversion mods" are free for owners of the base games on GOG only.

For example, I have Oblivion on GOG, but not Skyrim. The GOG product pages for both Nehrim and Enderal say "Free", and the products appear in my shopping cart when I click "Free", but checkout works for Nehrim only, checkout for Enderal fails because I'm not a GOG owner of Skyrim.
Lol! Still Epic failing on making excuses for not reading the GOG mod pages first. lol. Stop embarrassing yourself! haha

I did read them before replying to your post. And do you seriously say anything I said in my posts isn't true (you might disagree with my qualification "misleading" of your first post)? Then please elaborate.

Shall we go through this loop a few more times? :-)
