I’ve recently managed to setup a modded Skyrim install. Wanted to setup and play for months. And now… Zero. Same thing happened with bloodlines a while back.
During the day the spark of wanting to play comes. But as soon as I get home. It just disappears. And end up doing other things. It feels like wanting to play the game is more appealing than actually playing it.
How do y’all manage it?
Take a break, go do something else like take a long walk or work on a project, then use gaming as a wind-down reward.
More practical advice how I finally finished Skyrim is to simplify. I started a new game with only 2-3 mods, only did the main quest line, and didn’t pick up anything valued under 100 gold IIRC. And only carried one set of armor and weapons.
