http://www.moddb.com/mods/merp-middle-earth-roleplaying-projectMERP is a total conversion mod for Skyrim that would bring a 1:1 scale Middle Earth onto the Skyrim engine that was under works until Warner Bros put a C&D (Cease and Desist) on the project. The project was completely fan-made and free of charge. Warner Bros has been silent for a while as far as anyone outside the dev team knows due to a lawsuit between Warner Bros and the Tolkien Estate regarding slot machines.
If the Tolkien Estate wins against Warner Bros, the C&D will become invalid. But that doesn't mean the Tolkien Estate won't take action against the mod.
