I'm really excited for this. Moreso than with the rumored remaster. Does anyone know if it will be a standalone install or if it will need to take over the Skyrim install?

According to their website:

In order to play Skyblivion you will need to own a legitimate copy of Oblivion GOTY Deluxe (ALL DLC) and Skyrim: Special Edition. Our installer will not install the mod unless it can find a non-cracked copy of the original games.

and

Skyblivion will work the same as most other complete overhaul mods. Simply install the mod via the installer and press play.

So you'll probably need a pure unmodded version of Skyrim for it to install onto, but we won't know for sure until the actual release date.

Its likely what we'd get would be a tool to create a normal mod. The tool checks for their requirements and when satisfied, rips oblivion files and repackages them.

So a clean skyrim installed to create the mod with the tool, but once the tool is done, you could remove the clean install and use it like any other mod.

This has been my experience with other "created from copyrighted works" overhauls, like rollercoaster tycoon for openrct2.
