Let's be honest, gaming is a pretty scummy hobby.
My wife tells me this all the time.
Let's be honest, gaming is a pretty scummy hobby.
nexusmods offers me a good service, without it I'd probably just keep my mods to myself because it would be too much of a hassleThat's genuinely sad. The pitiful social mentality used by sites like Facebook applied to mods I mean. I can see it being true for all those bethesdard mods putting shitty large boob characters into the game, because certainly it's more about their visibility than actual content, but thankfully there are games thriving with mods like Rimworld that get along just fine without them. Nexus is the Walmart of mods. Fuck them sincerely. A good mod will find it's way towards the players one way or another.modders don't realise is that the Nexus is more important to them than they are to the Nexus

takes me like 3 clicks and a description to submit a mod
I realise it's not. Been modding it since A10. Both their forums and reddit heavily supplement it. Workshop adds ease of use, but then, nobody takes money for it or dictates some bullshit ownership over them, which is kind of the point when it comes to fan made free content.but thankfully there are games thriving with mods like Rimworld that get along just fine without them
ehm. you realise that's just because they use the workshop, right?
I don't know what the rimworld modding community is like, but it's possible there aren't so many egotists and prima donnas as many of the nexus hubs.
If the modders in those hubs weren't such fuckwits then rules about deletion wouldn't be required, but the fact they throw hissy fits whenever their authoritah is challenged makes those rules necessary.
Imagine if authors had the ability to completely remove their books from the world because they got one bad review on goodreads.
Probably can be attributed it to rimworld mods requiring some C# knowledge therefore it's more likely programmers will be making the mods than randoms.I realise it's not. Been modding it since A10.

The Rimworld modding community is of the "cathedral" mentality as described by the Morrowind modder Wrye. Lots of mods build upon each other, and many modders create mods for the specific purpose of serving as a shared resource for other mods.
Fewer modders that act like primadonnas wanking off over how awesome they are for making a single mod, more modders that consider their stuff a contribution to the overall community.
Never really considered it as such, most mods are still quite standalone even if there are a few common library mods, but this sounds reasonably accurate when I think about it.The Rimworld modding community is of the "cathedral" mentality as described by the Morrowind modder Wrye.

Overwhelming majority of Rimworld mods is done via XML manipulation. As long as something falls within the bounds of the games robust behaviors (or C# lib mods) it's a matter of adding it's definitions and/or modifying existing ones, which the game also accommodates really well through XPath. C# mods are usually reserved for few core library mods adding or expanding said behaviours, and a bit of others doing some completely new stuff through overloading some of the games functions (decompiled source code is available, though outdated a bit), but even those will still likely have a good part of them written in XML. To sum it up - Rimworld modding is easy as fuck, and the statement is far from true.Probably can be attributed it to rimworld mods requiring some C# knowledge therefore it's more likely programmers will be making the mods than randoms.

I am patiently awaiting Arthmoor's response.. Nexus actually pays out money to modders now based on Download counts and that's really all Arthmoor cares about so I'm wondering if he's going.. to.. actually.. put all his mods on ModDB in protest..?
RedditUserA said:I knew he'd wait until the last day to make the largest shitstorm possible.
RedditUserB said:He also made sure to exract as much $$ as possible from the Nexus before leaving.
RedditUserC said:Pretty crazy to expect upholding of legal rights when he filed a false DMCA-claim out of spite.
RedditUserD said:Arthmoor has intentionally dealt in lies and misinformation to oppose Wabbajack and other forms of modlist creation for years now, and now that he's finally lost that battle, he's taking his ball and going home. Of course he made sure to stay on the Nexus until the last possible moment for that sweet, sweet DP.
RedditUserE said:Starfield will be nice without having his idiot self around.
RedditUserF said:Oh well. (sic.) Time for others to take his place and hopefully they aren’t as angry and sad as he has always been.
Final day for deletion so I look forward to these morons having no recourse but submitting illegitimate DMCA requests going forward.
Why does Skyrim in particular attract the worst parlor modders imaginable?
Arthmoor has already outed himself as scummy asshole back during the original paid mod fiasco, so that's thoroughly unsurprising.Final day for deletion so I look forward to these morons having no recourse but submitting illegitimate DMCA requests going forward.

As of this notice, no more updates or new material will be uploaded by myself.
Per the standing agreements with the unofficial patch team members, the unofficial patches for SSE and Fallout 4 will continue to receive all regularly scheduled updates, but these will be the ONLY packages in my account that will be.
Here's to hoping that current efforts by several parties to launch sites that honor a mod author's legal right to delete their content take hold and provide some badly needed competition in this space.
I also want to make one thing crystal clear: No permission will be granted to anyone to upload any of my work that is deleted to Nexus or any other website. So don't ask.

Most assholes doing this has been minor modders, but this guy actually have a lot of good content for Skyrim, so that sucks I guess. But let the culling continue I presume, someone else will step up.
You can see his stuff here:

Just sort by unique downloads.
The whole modding scene was born out of people that put in work for the love of the game. They'd have to be delusional or dishonest to think that this minor change would kill the scene. If anything getting rid of all these grifters will only benefit it in the long run.This whole shebang is giving me a hard-on. The good guys winning for once, and all the whiners left sobbing by the wayside, crying that we’ll regret our joy when The Big Mod Drought sets in, which will of course never happen

It's Aug 06.. So if a Mod you love isn't gone from Nexus already.. it never will be.
In before "Muh Cease and Desist letters" - We have reached peak modding utopia - we can now begin to heal.

Expect a lot of seething from modders in the next couple of weeks when they realise the Nexus isn't going to fall down in their absence.

Even today I was looking for a few mod dependencies for Fallout New Vegas and couldn't find them anywhere.
I love clicking a Nexus link and it leads to a dead page with that orange bar saying "This mod has been removed"
It's surreal to me that after today, this will never be an issue again.
I can't wait - all the autistic screaming from the most unbearable people you'll ever meet is really just a side bonus.
I remember when modding communities laughed at ever making money off their work. They never took it seriously. The good days of Neverwinter Nights, Doom, Quake, HL and UT mods. People did things for passion. And they weren't so damn possessive over shit that didn't matter and no one important cared about.Final day for deletion so I look forward to these morons having no recourse but submitting illegitimate DMCA requests going forward.

But what if a modder wants to get rid of a mod because he no longer wants his name/username associated with said mod? For example, to prevent a libel situation one just realized could happen.Nexus archiving the mods does not affect the end consumer in any way.
This argument played out some pages back. Counter is that ''its pussy shit, as long as retarded modders are angry, I'm happy''.But what if a modder wants to get rid of a mod because he no longer wants his name/username associated with said mod?

Yeah unless you're getting sued. Or your searching for a job. (I don't care about the mod itself lol, just the fact that something is attached to your name and you can't get rid of it)This argument played out some pages back.

Show some personal responsibility perhaps? Don't post anything to a public forum that can get you sued. That should be obvious. If you make a mod that slags off a mate of yours (and I can absolutely see the juvinile smoothbrains who mod Bethesda games doing this.) and get sued for that it's on you for doing that to begin with. Why would you even do that?But what if a modder wants to get rid of a mod because he no longer wants his name/username associated with said mod?

You make a mod 6 years ago when you're still in public school. You have aged since then. You are more mature and you understand the world more, and now you can see that what you did in the past is a current threat.Show some personal responsibility perhaps?

Because you and your friend thought it was funny when you did years ago. 6 years later, your friend becomes your worst enemy and bam. Lawsuit. And note that their intention is to hurt you, with the mod just the means.If you make a mod that slags off a mate of yours (and I can absolutely see the juvinile smoothbrains who mod Bethesda games doing this.) and get sued for that it's on you for doing that to begin with.

And now people will correlate "Trans-FInancial-Man" as someone who uses insults such as "juvenile smoothbrains." (This is a public forum)I can absolutely see the juvinile smoothbrains who mod Bethesda games doing this.
