Planning a Large TTW mod

[NILLOC 916]

He travels back in time to save the japs he knows almost nothing about (other than that one of them helped him fight aliens) and then helps the guy who he meets in the future because of the aliens, escape the aliens ?

I always love the idea of new mods..   Reading your OP i'd suggest starting by dividing your DLC sized mod up into much smaller items..  Maybe build a lair for your NPC and armor..  get all the basics (and get to learn how it all works and fix any compatability issues),  then make the outdoor area,  then the new villians to populate the area  etc...

this will let you test as you go, and get feedback, and space out such a large project.

Well, there are some Japanese stuff on the mods of Oblivion,  may be, with the consent from the original modder, you may port their stuff for your mod.........

 

But still, it is a big job and it is very likely ended up unfinished. A smaller mod like shogun armor /kimono mod as a start of point may be more manageable.

Totally agree.  There are too many unfinished Grand Unified Mods on Nexus already.  Start with the smaller components that could be useful on their own, and build up.  That way, when you get tired of developing this thing (and I promise, you will get tired) and want to move on to something else, the work you've done is still useful and appreciable.  

And as others have said, it'll give you the advantage of incremental feedback.  Release early, release often.
