Man, now we just need more mod user girls since we have the author front covered! :Dcrazytaz wrote: all so there are some people who didn't take the surveyMotoSxorpio wrote: Yeah, quite a shock about the gender numbers. I was sure it was closer to 70-30 male dominant.
Looking forward to what the future brings for the sites. Looks like BlindJudge is jumping in with both feet.Niyogi wrote: Female user here. I'm super shocked by the gender numbers. I agree with Moto. I thought the gap wouldn't be so large. It does explain the lack of female tailored mods out there though. At least there are some! :)Tamira wrote: Yeah, took me by surprise too :DSolidusEkans wrote: Call NeoGAF!!!

You two and Tamira were apparent, but... the others? o_O And I thought I was on top of checking profiles to check gender to avoid such awkward moments...Thumblesteen wrote: I'm not that surprised, to be honest. I mean, let's face it, the gaming industry have spent the last ten years or so making every effort humanly possible to alienate women. It's quite tragic, really. To all the women out there who still haven't given up on gaming as a passtime, I must say, I'm quite inspired. To put up with all the sexist nonsense is a proper show of strength.AmiMizuno wrote: >.< Endangered species... lol more like just a dang rare sight. I was surprised too at this very skewed gender numbers!thesniperdevil wrote: I am sure all those skimpy anime mods on the front page don't help in attracting female audiences.EMS60 wrote: Hey, not every woman plays SIMS or how things like this are called. :pinch:
But if this is the reflection of the usership I'll never ever wonder anymore why half of the mods want to make your female Dragonborn look like some half nude kindergarten welp with the breast size of Chelsea Charms and the male ones like some watered down Final Fantasy toy boys. :laugh:

But seriously... I never thought that the female percentage and my own age range would be so small. o_Omadpaddy wrote: 3% of those females are probably men pretending to be women, its a bizarre internet phenomenon ive never understood.Elbethien wrote: I thought the same about women, pretending to be male.llamaRCA wrote: I "collect" girl modders (know who they are) because there are so few of us :)Signette wrote: Not surprised really, my guess that if such question would be put out on ANY gaming-only site/community at its core the numbers would be close to that.
Many women/girls are convinced that gaming is too childish or stupid and don't get involved in it or hiding it as best as they can, but tbh in more or less civil countries EVERYONE is a gamer even if that means some casual mobile or browser gaming.
Stereotypes rules minds these days.t3h0th3r wrote: I fact, 70% of the Top 10 adult mods are by a female modder ;)Zchu wrote: People are always surprised I am female. I guess I should add something girly on my user name??? I mean my Avy is my female OC... but still.
I am a mod creator also, I just don't publish my work. I horde my things all for myself =p
The only thing published publicly I helped with is the Fine Faces texture. I worked on the neck, ears and redid the feet textures for SAM body.
One day i will publish one of my mods that is not too personal (not one of my OC's is what I mean)
I also download tons of skimpy armor and have nude mods. Not for any pervy reasons, rather as an artist I find the human form beautiful. I want my characters to be perfect and customized, every bit of them.
That's my 2 cents anyway ^^Jeir wrote: I was also surprised by the gender results. I make no secret that I'm female (nor did Caliente, when she was still around). I also know of a number of mod makers and users who are female.
It could simply be that a lot of the ladies around simply didn't answer the survey. Many people just come for the mods, and may not pay attention to the news, so may not have seen it.nivea wrote: *Sobs* Well at least I know there are a few of us out there lol.
*Hugs Llama* :)lydiacat wrote: Wow! We are rare. Interesting.cavity75 wrote: I usually just ignore the skimpy mods, as a woman of course it turned me away from nexus mods for a while. But I've actually been working on creating mods, I've been into stuff like that since I was younger, and I've decided to start.

@cavity75 - Hi! Went to add you, but you'd beat me to it!

I am a female user and (very rudimentary) mod author AND in the 55 to 64 2%! It is damn lonely out here being a unicorn!
All the front page female mods are only annoying to me because they are not balanced by front page male mods. Fix that and it might help the situation.CaiusN wrote: I agree with Taerie that for me, it's somewhat off-putting to have few to no male front page mods to balance the female ones. I don't mind the skimpy clothing per se, but without male stuff to match it certainly gives me the impression this is a bit of a boy's club. It's not like the system cheats for this either, guys and gals often prefer to play dress-up with female characters. This is more a concern for managing people's first, second, and third impressions so they stick around to share and develop their talents.
So, thinking productively: "hide adult mods" is pretty narrow, but having a '-skimpy' tag setting as the public default for front page views would be a good test to see if it pulls more repeat users. Better tag integration would allow me to search for armor with meshes for both genders, but without avoiding skimpy.
Well I guess I'd better start contributing the sort of things I like in any case. That's the beauty of mods.akparkison wrote: Happy female user here. And not shocked the number for women players was so low. Honestly. ;)
It is amazing given how MANY modders are females. Seriously. UGH.
COME BACK SCHLONGS OF SKYRIM!!!!! THE NEXUS NEEDS YOUR HELP!!!!!!! -
Just tried that and it fixed the problem!
First, I would like to thank you for figuring that out. THANK YOU! :D
Now, I would like to bang my head against my computer since that fix is so simple and makes no sense whatsoever... :P -
Tried that. Didn't fix anything... :/

Sorry about that. Seems like the Filedropper link has expired.

Not sure if this will help anyone solve my problem, but here is a File Dropper link to what I have now:
http://www.filedropper.com/jzbaigenericchainmail
The armor can be found in game under "Chainmail Armor" in the console and is currently female-only. -
I've been working on a new armor mod, but I've ran into a strange mesh problem that I can't figure out for the life of me.
My mesh was skinned in 3DSMax and it looked fine in there. However, when I export the nif and see the model in game there are these strange black shapes that seem to bleed out of the mesh when I zoom out. In the shadow of my character, it looks like there are vertices that are exploding out of the mesh and are following the camera around. In addition, my mesh's textures seem to be bleed through anything that would normally cover the mesh (cloaks, backpacks, sleeves, etc.) Everything else about the mesh however looks fine (weight sliders work as they should, textures look good, etc.).Any ideas on what may be causing this problem?

Peeking at "Iomaungandr Rising," it seems that the work to convert to SE is actually pretty minimal. The major things that need to be done will be to resave the esp in the SE CK, to repack the bsa for SE, and (probably) run the new meshes in your mod through the SE Nif Optimizer. Pretty easy to do and in theory, most users could probably do it themselves if they wanted to.
Some users though may want an "official" conversion to SE. If you're too busy to do that, you could give permission for someone else to do it for you or just let users do it themselves. Either way, it's your mod and your call on that.
