    Very well said. I agree 100% with you. The exact same thing I think, when I have to read those kind of bullcrap like the one from the OP.
    If he doesn't trust the Nexus, then why he is even here to comment or on here at all? There are people on this planet, who don't think before they talk...

    " have no reason to excercise that power..."

    Guess what : Even the media popularized numerous cases of cops exercising their power without any reason recently (things like cops shooting a homeless guy in the desert with shotguns and assault rifles, cops shooting a maybe 11 years old kid with a toy gun not even 2 second into having arrived at the scene or a cop chocking someone to death who sold cigarettes...)

    It happens that people who got absolute power get corrupted absolutely.
    (doesn't mean I've seen the Nexus staff doing something like this thus far, but if I could I would prevent abuse of power preemptively...)


    @gnhtd
    I have to agree with you about the power and corruption. It's sad that people who have power think, that they can do anything to everyone.

    But I also have to agree with one thing Demonikone said: Try not to break the rules and everything should be fine.

    Peace!

    I completed the survey and I'm a female gamer, 60 years old and started out with the Commodore 64 way, way back in the dark ages of gaming.

    It doesn't surprise me that a section of male gamers would like to think that females only play casual games, and couldn't possibly like anything with challenge or a sense of danger. It seems to me that some male players become defensive when the subject of female gamers comes up, especially in the domain of FPS, adventure, RPG or horror games.

    My favourite games of all time are the Gothic series which don't hold your hand like many recent games, most other RPG's, Resident Evil, Silent Hill, and more recently Dark Souls and Dark Souls 2:Scholar of the First Sin.

    I've played the original Dark Souls 2 and Scholar for over 1000 hours combined according to my Steam profile and will continue to do so even though I'm taking a break and revisiting Fallout 3 and New Vegas while waiting for Fallout 4. Tell me those are casual games.

    I modded for Oblivion, played the game to death and still have it installed. I also recently replayed Morrowind and thoroughly enjoyed it. To be perfectly honest though Skyrim was a big disappointment to me for many reasons. I have a lot of hours played in Skyrim, but many of those were starting over for one reason or another.

    On the subject of skimpy armour and nudity - I don't mind either considering the history of art, ie painting, and sculpture etc and human history in general. I don't see a reason for me to block them. I use body replacers in my games after all. As someone else mentioned blocking these mods can also lock me out of more good ones by the same authors. I don't even really care about the prostitution mods even though I don't use them.

    I am however offended as a female by the obvious porn mods, here and elsewhere, that make a mockery of the female form and in some cases reveal the creator's hatred and fear of women as equal humans. After all, how many of these mods do you see ridiculing males to the same extent, and I wouldn't want that either. Mods like a certain "Nympho" mod on the Skyrim Nexus is a "fine" example of this, not to mention others like Estrus.

    We've been told these mods are not going away from the Nexus at least, so my opinion as one of those "rare" female gamers who visits here doesn't matter. :sad:


    Great comment! Kudos! :)

This hobby as become all inclusive and more and more diverse over the years. I, for one, and happy as hell women play these games with us as it has helped to destroy the myth that only 'kids and little boy's' play video games.

    It's when you take all games, including casual ones, you get a score closer to half.

    Women tend to play different games, and before anyone gets mad or something, tihs doesn't mean that casual gamers are inferior. Casual gaming is quickly becoming the biggest right now. Walking simulators/handheld games etc. are becoming more and more popular.

I wanted to say that maybe women don't mod as much as men do but I've download (and loved) a lot of mods created by women. A big thank you to them all (and the men modders!) who have enhanced and extended the lives of our much loved games!

    BTW sorry I missed this survey. I only log in occasionally and did not see a notice about a survey.

    I'm a female and play mostly PC games aka Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter Nights, and many other not casual types of games. Although do own some consoles. Although whether it's a casual game or not, it's still a video game, and that market is obviously no longer just for men but women too.

    Also, not everyone on the Nexus responded to this poll. Though with how much skimpy armor mods inhabit the website here, I'm amazed you act like it's a surprise that the percentage of females here is so low.

    Heres another poll that says that 52% of the gaming community is now women. http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/sep/18/52-percent-people-playing-games-women-industry-doesnt-know

    QFT. By all means I don't disrespect nor discard the hard work of every modder out here, but the Nexus is literally flooded with skimpy armor/clothing/whatever mods that are always getting to the hot files just because players want to see their female waifu wandering around butt-naked. In the meanwhile other mods meant to improve the gameplay experience, immersion simply stay in the dark, which I find kinda sad.

    Is it possible to create a "sexy hot files section" of some sort?

    Thanks for that info. Don't know, why I didn't knew that. :) But still, I think skimpy mods have nothing to do on here. They should move to the LL site with that kind of stuff. And even if I block those kind of stuff, really good mods will be still unseen and way back in the list of mods, because of all that stupid skimpy stuff and I find this very unfair. There are a lot of amazing mod makers, who are working their butts off to make their mods, but they will not seen as much as these dumb skimpy mods. I hope this will change one day!

    Keep the Nexus clean!

    So yes, the skimpy stuff has a place here. Despite your moaning. Filter adult and NSFW content in your content filtering page if you don't want to see it. Didn't tiwa44 just say that?

    It has nothing to do if I have an issue with nudity or not. It has to do with REAL mod makers and their REAL mods which are overseen because of all that skimpy stuff flooding the Nexus.
    I have nothing against nudity, I only find these mods ridiculous, because, let's face it, at the end of the day, these are only nude pixels and I don't know why people are so crazy about them and I will NEVER understand that. I play computer games since I was 14 years old, thats 28 years ago and I NEVER used those kind of mods, because to me they are senseless. It's okay with me, if people are using these kind of mods, but when I see that simple made mods were voted for file of the month or are in the hot files and other mods which were made with love and a huge amount of time, but never made it to the hot files, then this makes me mad, sorry, but that's how I am and I think in my age, I can't change that.
    tiwa44 wrote: Westside, I think this is a UI issue, not a content one. If Nexusmods banned skimpy content, they'd probably halve their traffic overnight!

    It seems skimpy mods receive too much attention because many users don't find the content filtering options nexusmods provides, despite these options being one of the cool things of this site and working perfectly well. So this is a UI issue, not a cultural one.
    Lisnpuppy wrote: The filtering is also, only as good as the tags. You are supposed to mark something adult or not adult right from the get go. Adult typically means nudity (not just skimpy-but showing ya know, stuffs) extreme violence and other adult theses that might get a R rating or above. If the mod author or someone else puts adult images on the mod then (if reported) they should be taken off or the mod remarked as adult if it was not. Then there is an option for tags which are like, female, lore-friendly, NSFW, armor,etc.

    Now there are many things that are NSFW that qualify as skimpy but not really needing an adult tag. For example you probably wouldn't look at a provacative bathing suit issue of a magazine, even if all the appropriate things were covered up. There is a cultural difference when talking about nude/skimpy things this is why if reported things are reviewed by the moderation team. If you think something isn't marked adult then report it. If people did not like the "skimpy" mods then they would not be so popular. You can set your preferences to weed out nudity and and other tag.

    Again I would like to see more mod authors tagging their files so that the filter will work not just to exclude mods but to find ones also. You can still find great obscure mods by using the advanced search function witch allows searching by dates uploaded, category and keywords in the description. I almost wish there was a tutorial on this as soooo many folks don't know about it or how to use it.
    BlindJudge wrote: Quite a lot of replies were to do with seeing Adult content, nudity and the like.

    But there is a section on your user profile where you can block seeing these mods. A lot of people didn't even know this part of the site existed, so as part of the redesign it's obvious we need to make the user profile section a bit more intuitive.

    As far as removing it altogether, that won't happen. We are a mod site at the end of the day and people have worked hard on their mods no matter what the content. Yes, it is also quite a popular category.

    Each person has their own likes and dislikes, our job is to ensure that you only see the files that you would like to download.

It doesn't bother me that this stuff exists, so I feel no need to filter it out of my browsing. I just wish that certain trends weren't so predominant. I've seen countless quality mods that didn't get nearly the attention that they deserved ("Modded Loot" is a good recent example), meanwhile every mod created by a popular author gets tidal waves of adulation and each of the latest panty and nipple pasty outfits receive one endorsement after another.

    Everyone's entitled to create what they create, and to like what they like. To each their own. I just wish that quality, legitimately game-enriching content took priority over uploader favoritism and stripper armor.

    perhaps it's a language issue, but the simple fact that you refer to other mods as : "REAL" mods, means the skimpy ones are not "REAL mods" which is in fact sort of discriminating, in my humble opinion.

    The thing is : not everyone is looking for gameplay improvements

    @miketheratguy
    While I can understand where you're coming from, again diversity of opinion is what it is ...
    For example I don't particularly like that "modded loot". In theory it's a good one,
    In practice it adds another layer of scripts running constantly all through skyrim (noooooooo)
    When you can have dynamic patchers doing the leveled lists for you (Lootification for example might be a good replacement for modded loot) which is more work to setup the initial mods & load order, but less hassle afterward.
    That said, that doesn't mean modded loot is bad. It's a good one, for "not script heavy mod setups" I'd recommend it for ease of use/install probably.


    I think a few things that should be retained for the design of the website:
    -ease of filtering out skimpy/adult stuff in a pinch but also ease of watching it again (tabs ???) (I know it's currently possible in the search attributes just slightly not exposed enough for some people ?)
    -maybe some sort of "rising popular mods" ( most endorsements in the last week/last month)
    -"latest unrated mods" (mods that went below the community radar, have very few endorsements and are rather new, last month or so)

    Okay, sorry. I really don't wanted to discrimate any mod makers or mods. I only meant with "REAL" mods, mods that needed a huge amount of time and effort to make them, which is not the case with these skimpy mods, at least not many of them.

    Thanks for that info. Don't know, why I didn't knew that. :) But still, I think skimpy mods have nothing to do on here. They should move to the LL site with that kind of stuff. And even if I block those kind of stuff, really good mods will be still unseen and way back in the list of mods, because of all that stupid skimpy stuff and I find this very unfair. There are a lot of amazing mod makers, who are working their butts off to make their mods, but they will not seen as much as these dumb skimpy mods. I hope this will change one day!

    Keep the Nexus clean!

    So yes, the skimpy stuff has a place here. Despite your moaning. Filter adult and NSFW content in your content filtering page if you don't want to see it. Didn't tiwa44 just say that?

    It has nothing to do if I have an issue with nudity or not. It has to do with REAL mod makers and their REAL mods which are overseen because of all that skimpy stuff flooding the Nexus.
    I have nothing against nudity, I only find these mods ridiculous, because, let's face it, at the end of the day, these are only nude pixels and I don't know why people are so crazy about them and I will NEVER understand that. I play computer games since I was 14 years old, thats 28 years ago and I NEVER used those kind of mods, because to me they are senseless. It's okay with me, if people are using these kind of mods, but when I see that simple made mods were voted for file of the month or are in the hot files and other mods which were made with love and a huge amount of time, but never made it to the hot files, then this makes me mad, sorry, but that's how I am and I think in my age, I can't change that.
    tiwa44 wrote: Westside, I think this is a UI issue, not a content one. If Nexusmods banned skimpy content, they'd probably halve their traffic overnight!

    It seems skimpy mods receive too much attention because many users don't find the content filtering options nexusmods provides, despite these options being one of the cool things of this site and working perfectly well. So this is a UI issue, not a cultural one.
    Lisnpuppy wrote: The filtering is also, only as good as the tags. You are supposed to mark something adult or not adult right from the get go. Adult typically means nudity (not just skimpy-but showing ya know, stuffs) extreme violence and other adult theses that might get a R rating or above. If the mod author or someone else puts adult images on the mod then (if reported) they should be taken off or the mod remarked as adult if it was not. Then there is an option for tags which are like, female, lore-friendly, NSFW, armor,etc.

    Now there are many things that are NSFW that qualify as skimpy but not really needing an adult tag. For example you probably wouldn't look at a provacative bathing suit issue of a magazine, even if all the appropriate things were covered up. There is a cultural difference when talking about nude/skimpy things this is why if reported things are reviewed by the moderation team. If you think something isn't marked adult then report it. If people did not like the "skimpy" mods then they would not be so popular. You can set your preferences to weed out nudity and and other tag.

    Again I would like to see more mod authors tagging their files so that the filter will work not just to exclude mods but to find ones also. You can still find great obscure mods by using the advanced search function witch allows searching by dates uploaded, category and keywords in the description. I almost wish there was a tutorial on this as soooo many folks don't know about it or how to use it.
    BlindJudge wrote: Quite a lot of replies were to do with seeing Adult content, nudity and the like.

    But there is a section on your user profile where you can block seeing these mods. A lot of people didn't even know this part of the site existed, so as part of the redesign it's obvious we need to make the user profile section a bit more intuitive.

    As far as removing it altogether, that won't happen. We are a mod site at the end of the day and people have worked hard on their mods no matter what the content. Yes, it is also quite a popular category.

    Each person has their own likes and dislikes, our job is to ensure that you only see the files that you would like to download.

It doesn't bother me that this stuff exists, so I feel no need to filter it out of my browsing. I just wish that certain trends weren't so predominant. I've seen countless quality mods that didn't get nearly the attention that they deserved ("Modded Loot" is a good recent example), meanwhile every mod created by a popular author gets tidal waves of adulation and each of the latest panty and nipple pasty outfits receive one endorsement after another.

    Everyone's entitled to create what they create, and to like what they like. To each their own. I just wish that quality, legitimately game-enriching content took priority over uploader favoritism and stripper armor.

    There was a post on the Steam discussion forum quite a while ago regarding the age of Skyrim players. The youngest player claimed to be 7 and there were few others in the 11 -13 year bracket, however the majority of the users that responded to the discussion were in the age bracket 30 and upwards. There was one gent who admitted to being 72 and quite a few female users in the 40's to 67 bracket, including me.

     

    While quite a few Steam users will visit the Nexus for mods they seem to be more active in the Steam discussion forum. I also like the fact that when you place the cursor on the Steam post's title you get more information without having to open the post, saving you time if you cannot add anything constructive.

     

    I found the Nexus forum sites confusing at first and avoided them for some time, I particularly hate all that graffiti stuck under a post, it's so distracting but I know others love it. The best part of Nexus (beside the mods of course) is the prevention of other users being harassed in any way and also the open findings shown when users get banned.


    Nice post and I agree with you 100%.

    I am male gamer (42 years old) and I hate this behavior of those guys you were talking about!
    It is bad for females and it's also bad for normal males, because it's hard to make friends with female players, because of this stupid behavior, many female players think, that all male players are like that. I had a lot of discussions with females about that topic and it was hard for them to trust a normal guy like me, because many of them thought that I would act like this, too, sooner or later, but that's not who I am and I would never do something like that. I respect females more than I respect males, because women are the better people and that's a fact! I respected my mother (R.I.P.), so why wouldn't I respect other females?
    Fact is, that these guys are immature and their brains are NOT in their heads and one can only hope, that this changes sooner or later and I feel very sorry for females who had these kind of experiences, because I can imagine that it's not nice for them to get those kind of messages and I want to say SORRY that many many males are like that, but please keep in mind, that NOT all are like that. There are a few males out there, who have their brains in their heads and not in their pants.

    There are some mod authors that are going pull an Anita Sarkeesian and chastise our entire community because of a very small amount of very angry comments, but if you go back and look at comments, you'll notice most of them are people just saying they're disappointed and unendorsing.

    Amen.
    Most of the comments I saw were reasonable criticisms and/or remarks of disappointment, not frothing rage and threats of death and venngeeeaanncceee as all these white knights would have you believe.

    Its actually a pretty decent mirror of the real population, except real people only say the s#*! they do on the internet in RL when they dont think they can be identified or held accountable. Or you know, what the internet allows.

    Everyone should try and tune out all the rage and insane s#*!.

    Same here, Midas Magic was by far one of the most popular mods in Oblivion, i have a hard time believing that he only received enough donations to barely cover fraps as he said.

    I just meant the quality of the expression of the anger, not that the 90% were the only ones angry.

    I just don't like the way he treats mod users asking for help. Even if it's a stupid question that's covered a thousand times in the description or FAQ, a mod author isn't entitled to insult and abuse the people who are doing him a favor by testing and playing with his mods.

    Now he's certainly not the only mod author like that. There are a lot of top-100 mods on here I won't use on principle because their authors are total jerks, and again, that has nothing to do with the past 5 days. Their propensity to belittle, condescend and arrogantly patronize mod users over the years is 1000x times worse than the chastisement mod authors have received in the past week.

    The point here is that abuse works both ways, and many high-profile mod authors have gotten away with it for far too long, standing on top of their pedestals of superiority. Well, hopefully one of the positives that comes out of this mess is that perhaps mod authors will have a little more appreciation for the mod users who made them famous, and recognize the fact that those same mod users can make them infamous just as easily.

Some of the modders did get to show their true colors, and some of those colors weren't so great. If they decide they don't want to come back to the Nexus, well good luck to them, and we thank them for what they have done before all of this.

    Modding is a labor of love. People do it because they enjoy it. Some people do it as a stepping stone to acquire the skills to get a job at a game company. But the bottom line is if you want to get paid for your "work", the modding scene is not the best place for you. Sharpen up your skills and try and get a job at a game company. Most of us have given thousands of dollars to Bethesda over the years. With Skyrim they really dropped the ball--they released an unfinished and buggy game that actually required the modding community to fix it. Trying to squeeze more pennies out of us Elder Scroll fans was a bad idea. If anything, Bethesda should be the ones paying the modders for finishing their game for them.

    But frankly, if Beth and Value had handled this correctly I doubt there would've been so much drama. Some hate, sure- I mean, after all, this is the internet.

    But the way Chesko was handled was shocking and downright wrong.


    @phantompally76
    Very well said. I too have noticed this behavior by mod authors more than one time and I thought that they should be ashamed of themselves. Who are they, to treat people like that? They are making mods, they are no gods!
  18. You really should use BOSS, to sort your load order and it also tells you what master file is missing. Crash to desktop on startup is most of the time the reason because a master file is missing.

    EDIT: Sorry I've over read that you already use BOSS. Still, this load order looks not really good. RoyalElvenBow for example adds a new bow, right? So it has to load before the Reproccer.esp. I think there are many Mods which BOSS not recognized. You should try to disable all mods and start the game, to see what happens. If everything is ok, you can enable one mod, start the game, look what happens and so on.

    Sorry for my English, it' not my native language.
