What...? Does it even do anything in-game like the annoying "Karma" for Fallouts 3 and NV? Or is it just a bunch of wasted empty hardrive space?

Y'all N'wahs don't even skooma!

click "~" in order to obtain CHIM

Tekassassin96 has just achieved CHIM.

OH I GET IT. THIS MOD IS AN EMPY FILE THAT DOES NOTHING.

Ok but how to you achieve CHIM in game?

Look dude, I don't care if you like CHIM or not. I just want my god powers.

Ive seen many comments on how the Chim are a race but if you actually know the lore this doesn't hold true. Chim is what for example Vivec acheived as well as his 2 fellow tribunal memebers that had also reached Chim as he had. But anyways in all reality the Chimer where a race not chim (Chim = Kim Chimer = Ch-eye-mer)

.obecalP

The Chim were a race, CHIM is a form of enlightenment.

the chim are in skyrim there the dark elves just cursed by a daedric god

Love the idea behind the mod. Great stuff man.

CHIM ALSO ALSO BE LIKE:ashlanders ashlanders everywhere

CHIM BE LIKE: scribs scribs everywhere. CHIM ALSO BE LIKE: dummer dummer everywhere CHIM IS ALSO BE LIKE: striders striders everywhere

All these people who don't understand CHIM. Keep up the good work Dorgarr.

Great mod, it turned my character into the sex-death of language.

you guise didn't do sht DIS MOD IS A FAYKE

This is an empty file :O

What does this MOD do exactly?

It's fucking CHIM it ain't gotta be explained!!!

I know what CHIM is and all, now tel mel just what the hell this mod actually does.

The duality is rather one sided
The confusion is clarifying

Achieves CHIM:
Sits (all the while not sitting)
quietly (while being too loud)
in (while being everywhere else in the universe) the Sleeping Giant Inn
reading, re-reading, and having already read, written, and inspired the writing of the unread book, the Firmament.

FTFY

Source: Towers and Wheels

Achieves CHIM:
Gains infinite health, magicka and stamina
gains the ability to rupture the universe at the snap of my fingers
Sits quietly in the Sleeping Giant Inn reading The Firmament.

Chim is love, Chim is life. I spread my asscheeks for Chim. (Why am I doing this.)

Ummmmmmmm
CHIM!

k i get it now

Haha is that Giorgio A. Tsoukalos ?

CHIM is a school of magic that binds things like slowing-down time and floating. Chimer is the race of the exiled elves that are now known today as the modern dunmer.

if i remember the lore right the dark elves are the chim after being cursed by one of the gods. so you half right. just throwing that out there.

So if I killed Vivec, I brought about a dragon break?

This is fascinating.

Chim is like a mix mathc elf, half chimmer half darkelf if im thinking right lol

really dosent matter to me

is it supposed to mean chimer or what?

Your metaphor misrepresents my own.

If you told me that you hit my foot with a hammer,
and I didn't see it,
I didn't feel it,
I wouldn't have noticed if you had,
and time itself was re-written so I was born without feet, did you hit my foot with a hammer?
No. I would say you did not.
You are implying theres a cause and effect, but the effect is impercievable and the cause is unfalsifiable.

The only time CHIM is ever used is to retcon developer oversights.
When Vivec said something immersion-breaking: CHIM.
When someone got rid of a jungle where there was supposed to be a jungle: CHIM.
When you need Lorem Ipsum for esoteric texts: CHIM.

It's the cheapest way to address confusion since the Dragon Break.
But the difference is, the Dragon Break was explained and it was experienced by thousands of in-game characters. There are multiple reports about what happened in Daggerfall and why.

"Nothing requires someone to experience it for it to exist. For it to have happened."
But if nobody can ever experience it, how can you know it's truly there?
The answer is you can't.
There's no way to tell if CHIM is present in Skyrim, Oblivion, Morrowind, Daggerfall, Arena, Elder Scrolls Online or any other game or mod. Because CHIM, by it's very definition, is un-knowable. It's unfalsifiable.

You vastly misunderstand my arguments and probably CHIM itself.
In order for you to zero-sum, you must lose all identity, becoming one of everything, while simultaneously maintaining your sense of self. If you can zero sum and still want to use CHIM for your own personal amusement, you haven't zero-summed. That's the fallacy.
The reason people can play video games despite it not being "real" is because the world of Tamriel is an established place for them to escape to. It has certain things that are constant and "immersive". You know what breaks that immersion? Being told it's just a game dreamed up by game developers by some two-toned lunatic.

If I hit your foot with a hammer, and it made you feel the same as if I gave you a foot massage, did I give you a foot massage? *Psst* the answer is no.

Nothing requires someone to experience it for it to exist. For it to have happened.

If a tree falls in the forest but nobody is around to hear it, does it make a sound?

Of course, the answer depends on the person's definition of "Sound" but you get the point. Adding the "CHIM experience" as you put it, is NOT the same as adding CHIM. The effect of CHIM does not matter. Whether or not this mod adds the aftermath of CHIM does not make it add CHIM. CHIM being "pointless" (besides that being a matter of opinion) does not matter. The result of CHIM does not matter. This mod claims to add CHIM but it does not. Plain as that.

I may never want to taste that water but that doesn't mean it is or isn't there. The experience of CHIM isn't the definition of CHIM. Even if you're right and CHIM cause's nothing, that doesn't mean that adding nothing is adding CHIM. Granting the experience and effect of CHIM doesn't equal adding CHIM. If you're correct in that the vanilla game already had CHIM, than this mod does nothing because CHIM was already there. This mod doesn't add CHIM either way. You're contradicting yourself. You can't add CHIM twice. It's not something that can be placed on top of itself. CHIM ISN'T NOTHING. CHIM ISN'T ZERO!

Using CHIM wouldn't be meaningless LORE-wise or otherwise. You just don't get it. The mere fact that I would want to use it proves you wrong. If you gave CHIM to my character in Skyrim, I would use it. If Skyrim was real maybe people wouldn't want to use it but it's not. It's a video game. The player would want to use it and that's what matters here. It's the same reason why someone would use console commands for cheating. Why do you think anyone plays any video games? After all, it's not real. None of it matters right? And furthermore, why would anyone try to achieve a vivid dream in real life? It's not like it changes anything. It's not like any of it matters.

Like I said, this mod doesn't add CHIM. In your mind it does the same thing as CHIM but that doesn't mean it actually adds CHIM. Like I said in an earlier comment, it would be more accurate to say this adds the lore-friendly effect of CHIM rather than actually adding CHIM. And again, I told you there ARE reasons for people to use CHIM. Prove that having CHIM removes the want to have it. You say that with no proof. Where's your reference? And even if having CHIM removes the want for it, it doesn't mean that this mod adds CHIM to the game. Who said people can't experience the changes done by CHIM? And you know what? I would know. Maybe I would be the only one who knew I had CHIM but I still would know. I wouldn't have to have convince others I had CHIM for that to be fact. Whether or not other people know or recognize it, that doesn't change that I would still have CHIM. THE PERSON WITH CHIM WOULD EXPERIENCE THE CHANGES!

You misunderstand my argument and claim that it is flawed.
The file may be empty, but an empty file can grant the player the entire CHIM experience because CHIM is pointless. CHIM is redundant.

If the mod is a glass and CHIM is magical invisible water that you cant taste but it doesnt matter because you will never want to, nor will you be able to,
the glass doesn't need to appear full to have the same effect.
And you didn't "prove" anything.
I wasn't claiming that recognition isnt the only reason people do good things, I'm saying if you are claiming to be able to do good things with CHIM, how can you prove that these things were done if NOBODY CAN EXPERIENCE THE CHANGES?
It's like if a tree falls down in the forest and Talos says there was never a tree in the first place, does it make a CHIM?

3rd off, it simply doesn't matter. You're trying to make some philosophical statement about the pointlessness of CHIM when it just doesn't matter. Look, I get what you're saying but there is no data in the folder. This mod doesn't add CHIM. I may not be the tech savviest person out there but I know this mod doesn't actually edit or add onto the game. CHIM may not be canon but this mod would still claims to add it. Falskaar isn't canon but the Falskaar mod adds Falskaar. Does Falskaar effect anything other then itself? No. Will anyone outside of Falskaar speak about Falskaar or acknowledge its existence? No. So the creator of Falskaar might as well have uploaded on empty folder like you have with this mod, right? Of course not! Can you not see all the holes and flaws in your argument?

If 1 has the same effect as 0
And this mod adds 0
Well then surely this mod adds 1?

Do you see the flaw in your argument?

1st off, recognition isn't the only motivation for people to do good things.

2nd off who said the NPC's would have never seen a world that isn't any different? If Talos did have CHIM, well, people certainly didn't forget him or what he did. If Talos did have CHIM it makes sense. Perhaps that's why he was so peaceful and political with most of his dealings. Because he hit a higher realization than simply men vs mer. He tried to unite people in the most peaceful way he could. It wouldn't make sense to simply make everything in his way disappear from this perspective.

"The player wouldn't be able to use CHIM, because achieving CHIM removes the want to do so.The player wouldn't be able to witness changes that other people with CHIM do to the world because those changes would have always been present. The player wouldn't be recognised as someone responsible for changes in the world because all NPCS would have never seen a world that is any different."

There are so many things wrong with the above statement. First off, I've already proven you wrong on the part of "achieving CHIM removes the want to do so" part. Second, the player would be able to witness the changes they made if they enter amaranth afterwards.

"The player wouldn't be recognised as someone responsible for changes in the world because all NPCS would have never seen a world that is any different"

You're using a logical fallacy.

CHIM = nothing
This mod adds nothing
thus this mod adds CHIM

the above statement is incorrect. Simply because CHIM adds nothing into the game doesn't mean this mod adds CHIM by adding in nothing.

Look no matter what, fact is this mod doesn't add CHIM. It doesn't matter whether or not CHIM is canon. Think about the mod that adds smurfs into skyrim. By your logic, that mod doesn't have to actually add smurfs into skyrim because smurfs weren't there to begin with. Mods don't have to be canon. Canonicity is irrelevant. LORE is all but irrelevant. This mod claims to add CHIM when it doesn't.

"The vanilla game doesn't have CHIM. This mod doesn't change that. It isn't even a mod as it doesn't actually modify the game."
I disagree. If CHIM is canon in the TES universe, then Skyrim would have to have CHIM. Just CHIM is not observable or useable in the game or the lore. This would leave one to believe that CHIM is not in the game, so this Mod adds all of the changes that CHIM would have on the game, which is precisely zero.
The player wouldn't be able to achieve CHIM.
The player wouldn't be able to use CHIM, because achieving CHIM removes the want to do so.
The player wouldn't be able to witness changes that other people with CHIM do to the world because those changes would have always been present.
The player wouldn't be recognised as someone responsible for changes in the world because all NPCS would have never seen a world that is any different.
CHIM does not modify the game. This Mod adds CHIM
