HeyYou

Are you staring the game with SKSE_loader?

Did you install them with vortex?

Thank you for the response! I haven't been able to find the mod elsewhere yet. Also, Im not asking for the mod to be pirated, just if there is an existing reupload anywhere. Also Im curious, what policy changes has Nexus made? Have not been active here much until fairly recently. In support of their future 'collections' (a tool that would download and install a list of mods), Nexus has decided that mod authors can no longer delete their mods from the site for ANY reason. Instead, they are archived. That doesn't sit will with a fair few authors, and opposed to essentially handing over their work to Nexus, they are removing ALL of their work from the site.

Hardware is good. As for the bloatware, every manufacturer installs some. I just uninstall the crap I don't want, and make sure there isn't a bunch more starting with windows.

Mod authors come and go in any event. Some stick around. Some seem like permanent fixtures. :) Others, are just a flash in the pan, upload a mod, then disappear. Nexus is likely counting on new modders coming along to replace those that left. Will they have comparable skillsets? Remains to be seen.

Thuggy left????? Wow. That's gonna hurt. I am still seeing files for Thuggysmurf.....

Yep. Not like they are going to get many more page views, with automated tools doing the downloading... So, it will be premium subscriptions that line their pockets.

The users are going to be affected in a negative manner in any event. Several authors have left, taking all their work with them. Some of them, but not all of them... will upload their work elsewhere. For the users, instead of having one central repository for mods, they are going to have to go searching for mods from authors that were once here. Other mods are simply going to vanish from the landscape. Never to be seen again. And all for the convenience of list curators...... For the users that collections are aimed at, none of this matters. They weren't (probably) using mods in any event, so, they won't miss what they are not aware of. Won't bother nexus either, as most of the major mods will remain here, along with their authors...... and other folks will be along to upload more mods. So, they tolerate some hate and discontent for a while, then, life goes on. Their revenue stream increases, and everyone on staff gets a raise. Mod authors get the stinky end of the stick, and everyone else benefits. Sure, mod authors will get more DP.... That and 2.50 will you get a cup of coffee.....

Mod authors need simply stop updating their mods here and post those updates elsewhere. Nexus may claim infinite rights to the binaries in their database and be able to use them in the modpacks, but it we stop updating here and post updates elsewhere, those binaries are now different AND they are not on Nexus servers, so they will have NO rights to include them in their modpack lists. And if they do use them, we have legal ground to do something about it, because they refused us the means to opt out and removed our ability to remove our mods, and then to go and circumvent all of that to use OFF-Nexus mods hosted elsewhere, that are not within their "rights"? No no.. that would be very bad for them. Mod authors actually do have the power here and we can exercise it. Nexus may win round one with all of this stuff, but in the long run, they've shot themselves in the foot. Literally. Users follow mod authors, not the site. And if the updates to their favourite mods are elsewhere... not hard to intuit what comes after that, right? Wabbajack has the ability to interact with many different websites, to download mods. I do not know all the ins and outs of the system, I am just aware that it has that ability.

If a file isn't deleted then nobody has to update anything. And what do you mean by "hostage". That makes no sense in any context. And mod creators still get the DP from any downloads. So the answer to lazy ass mod pack makers is to take control from mod maker? What percentage do they give back to mod creators? I'd be impressed if it was more than 5%. Also, modpack makers won't share anything with the creators when they plaster the modpack section with Patreon begging. If I read it right, Mod list curators (collections) won't be getting Donation Points for their list.

If a file isn't deleted then nobody has to update anything. And what do you mean by "hostage". That makes no sense in any context. And mod creators still get the DP from any downloads. And again, authors update mods for a reason. Why is the onus on mod authors to make sure some list curators list doesn't change? Do we really WANT them distributing mods with known bugs??? That's just idiotic.

Black voters overwhelmingly vote democrat in any event, so, that isn't really any indication of how much they like him. The dems are the ones that like to hand out the gimmes....... So yeah, they tend to be popular. But democracy DOESN'T work. :D It's good for the short term, but, in the end, democracies tend to eat themselves from the inside. Once they run out of other peoples money to spend, they collapse. Which is what I expect to happen here in the next couple decades. :D

Coincidence. Skyrim, or mods, cannot delete files, or change anything on your machine. Something else is going on. Either a drive is thinking about failing, bad SATA cable, bad port, failing controller, etc. Now, playing the game certainly puts more of a strain on your machine, and may be responsible for prompting it to bad behavior, but, the game itself CANNOT do what you are blaming it for.

What? Do you think they are betting buried in requests? Or maybe they are just waiting for this all to blow over, and go about their merry way, archived mods included.... Not like there is a lot of trust at this point.

His profile shows 0 files. So, that would be a 'yes'.

Ok, so, what you are looking for is something that reduces the distance your compass shows points of interest? That should be a simple game setting...... Looks like for 'survival' mode, its fSurvivalCompassLocationMaxDist = 20000 which is pretty close. I would expect that for the other game difficulty levels it's pretty much the same thing, just substitute Survival, for whatever diff level you play on, and tweak the numbers as you please.

I'm not finding anything in appdata for NMM...... Drive space has gotten dirt cheap. :)

I am sure MacArthur and Patton are sharing drinks somewhere, both exclaiming "I WAS RIGHT!!!" Mac on China, and Georgie on Russia. (soviet union at the time. :) )

adding sexy/skimpy tag to blocked content, then going to her profile, user files, I still see 158 files, spread over 5 pages...... but some of them have the 'blocked content' notification, yet are still in the list.

I am using firefox 89.0.2, and Alienslof shows 158 files, spread over 8 pages. I don't think I am filtering search results by any tags. Security settings are pretty much the default, but, I am not accepting third party cookies.

I would think they already have their system in place for that kind of thing. No idea on the level of 'user involvement' that is required for things like merged patches, and such.

I suspect wabbajack will have the same functionality......

For the first one, that sounds a lot like standard behavior of the game, right out of the box. You got nothin' on the map when you first come out of the vault, ('cept maybe sanctuary) and you have to get pretty darn close to a location before it becomes a permanent marker on your map. No idea on the second one.

Indeed, they could tank our economy in a heartbeat. Win a war without firing a single shot. They are already trying to just buy us out of our own country. Chinese land ownership in the US is friggin' staggering. At one time, they were trying to purchase several of our major ports. US gov. nixed that idea......

I am quite certain there isn't going to be an opt-out option. A few key players (authors) would most certainly tick that box, and essentially break collections right out of the gate. Putting the onus on maintaining a viable collection on the collection authors though, that seems perfectly reasonable to me. That's how it currently works for everyone. Is it 'the best'? Probably not.... but, whether you are making a list of mods to install manually (a guide), or putting together a collection, the curator should be very much aware that things change. Mods get updated, or deleted. It's just part of the territory.
