May fortune favor the bold.

It's been an interesting discussion here and I can already see the divisive potential this issue brings. I think perhaps some folks here are looking modding for money vs modding as hobby a little too narrowly. The first point I'd like to make is that if modding Bethesdas' games for personal profit becomes a thing... it will be Bethesda making the real money and everyone else getting some table scraps. Secondly, there are more hobbies than street hockey. Yes, street hockey is played largely at personal cost to the players wallets. Other hobbies include knitting or bike building where the products are often sold, even if it's just to cover the costs of more materials. Quilting is a hobby that many women have turned into a very profitable side business but that doesn't mean that the women would stop quilting if it became illegal to sell quilts. All of these hobbies are things folks love to do, and many get paid to do them. When people start showing up at the local burger joint to ask "would you like fries with that?" over and over and claim they'd do it for free given the chance we'd have some serious ethical issues, and those issues would sit squarely on the burger joints. Really, the greed isn't in modders hoping to earn a few extra bucks while doing something they enjoy, it's in the corporations hoping for people to work practically for free while pumping up the corporate profits by enhancing or bug fixing games the corporation has already moved on from.

I think you meant MCM, which was actually created for New Vegas. I suggest reviewing Gopher's Mod Clinic videos. https://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLF6F122CB27A4C085 And I also used this STEP page to learn about modding NV. http://wiki.step-project.com/User:EssArrBee/FalloutNewVegas I heavily modded Skyrim and these 2 sources got me off the ground.

Adding my voice to the chorus. I've been waiting 3+ hours for several mods to finish the virus scan. I appreciate & support the objective to improve security for the user base, but reliability and availability shouldn't be sacrificed this much. If you were told by the provider of this virus scan service that files should be available in 10-15 minutes, then they either grossly misrepresented their service, or didn't adequately analyse your requirements. Bottom line, someone didn't do their job. I'm sure you're already pulling your hair out trying to resolve this. But I would suggest rolling back the virus scan until the issues can be properly addressed. Blair
