So . . . how have you all been? It’s been a while since I’ve written a blog. How are you? Oh, how am I? Let’s go over some current events as recent as [checking watch] today and see why i am posting! I have been modding for several years now. My policy on mods has changed throughout the years but can be currently be seen as: Don’t upload my stuff on the Steam Workshop and please don’t upload anything on the Nexus site as I may do so myself in the future. Whether you like my mods or not, I’ve put in the effort to make them and it seems pretty reasonable to acquiesce to my wishes here. However, I have made a lot of mods and in one instance, I hadn’t updated the mod uploading stance. [This has now been rectified by the way - more to follow.] Then I got this Private Message from someone here on Deadly Stream today. Their identity has been censored. https://imgur.com/GelbR0v https://imgur.com/CxKKWW1 Well! Let’s go over this a bit. While it is true that in the original description of the mod it did say “If you use it in a mod, all I ask for is a credit. Thanks.”, I’ll note that there’s proper etiquette of how to go about this. It’s called “getting permission” or you’re less fancy “getting an OK” before uploading someone else’s work. I’ve been involved in the community for years. No one has seemingly had trouble getting in touch with me. So, I do have to wonder – what was the difficulty here then? Just to mention something else here: “Use it in a mod” means “use it in a mod.” It does not mean just upload the work unchanged all by itself. Interestingly enough, this unnamed person on their “guide” for BOS:SR includes links to other mods both here and on NexusMods. Why was uploading my mod to NexusMods even necessary in the first place? Lastly “unnamed person”, I am somewhat amused by your parting shot on modding etiquette. You see, I’ve had a reputation around these parts having taken a hard line on mod rules. I’m sure I can get some folks in the comments to say how much of a hard-liner I invite modders in this community to offer your input. Thanks for your attention. One last thing: Seeing as the unnamed person is probably reading this, the word you’re looking is “deprecated” and not “depricated.” https://imgur.com/nQYi6rz
