Basic Description:
Replaces the main menu screen with one of 67 (for now!) different images from the Nexus community, along with a different accompanying musical score for each. Many of these tracks are beautifully played renditions of popular Skyrim music from Youtube!
Each time you play the game it will choose one randomly! Hooray!
"Why should I use this?"
After all, there are already many different menu replacer mods, right? Including Hellstorm102's insanely popular "main menu wallpaper replacer HD 1080p now with randomizer" upon which my mod is based.
Well, that mod is indeed excellent, but it does NOT change any of the music. It's still the same "Dragonborn" theme we've all heard a million times. This mod uses many different musical tracks from the Skyrim game itself, other Elder Scrolls games, as well as different covers from Youtube talent on the net!
A more reasonable question would be, "why shouldn't I use this?"
"HOW do I use this?"
Just download it! The rest takes care of itself. The mod uses an skse plugin file (thanks to Helltorm102!) which will randomly insert a different main menu screen and music every time you start Skyrim!
More savvy users can even add their own custom menu screens and music!
