Finland is a country. Being born in Finland does not make you a "Finnish" race person. That's called "Nationality", not race. Good try tossing out the race card because you have no valid arguement, though. You tried. Pat yourself on the back.

And yeah, it probably is cultural, though I don't know much about Finnish culture, so I could be totally wrong. Still, the Nexus is meant to be culturally neutral, and thus that kind of attitude isn't justifiable. :/

Though my contributions to Nexus may be small i am not a stranger to comments made by those that misunderstand the true definition of criticism and free speech.Criticism requires an included explanation and fix for that which one finds problematic in a mod.If one cannot help a mod author one should just report a problem and otherwise remain quiet.Free speech should be FREE of abuse,seems to me the word free is often misunderstood as,i can treat you anyway i want and you deserve no recourse, for, your objections violates my right to FREE SPEECH.Hehe,i don't bloody think so.

If one desires respect,my Zeus,be respectful.

Maybe, I don't know. do some research instead of being ignorant of the world? There is nothing racist about what i said about Finland, its a 100% fact, and even is written on Travel websites to prepare people for the culture.

Politically correctness makes people idiotic and ignorant.

I dont have any issues with her, or any other Finnish people, i understand the culture and appreciate the honest straightforwardness. Her mods are really amazing, I've been using them for years. Edited January 10, 2017 by LenaMarie

[moxica]

Many have said this, but I'm going to repeat- If you don't like a mod or the author of the mod, move on. It really couldn't be any simpler than that.

To me her comments are direct and to the point. That's how i like it.

Her descriptions show every sign of having been asked the same question a thousands times and she uses sarcasm to cut them off. I see no problem with that.

If I did, I wouldn't look at her mods. Easy.

 

I look foreword to the interview and hopefully, she doesn't do what i would do after seeing all this crying.

 

Edit- She may have done it!

Youtube channel, all videos gone.

Nexus, only mods remain and nothing else.

Well, you guys might not have to worry about how nice she is or isn't.

Good job...

THIS 100 times over seriously isn't this like the first thing they make you repeat in kindergarten!? sheesh it is such a simple concept yet, yet... *not saying anything*

If you guys chase her away i sure as hell hope you are prepared to live without her amazing mods and to live with the fact that you all denied other MANY users this privilege because of your bad attitudes.

[Sonja]

Undoubtedly, I am going to regret wading into the fray here, but what I see in this thread is a microcosm of real world politics... There are a lot of people on all sides shouting at one another, and nobody is hearing a thing.

I'm not a modder, I've only used and appreciated mods crafted for the Elderscrolls games for years; I honestly would not play Bethsoft's titles without mods.

Over the course of those years, I've seen more than a few asinine, self-entitled users, and I've lost count of those who seem too lazy and stupid to read a mod's description and/or readme. However, I have also observed poor behaviour from mod authors on occasion. Usually, I attribute this poor behaviour from the latter group to worn out patience (I've always placed Elianora in this category)... I *know* I'd become very terse and snarky if I had to answer the same questions over, and over, and OVER again.. when the answers are clearly displayed on the description page. Nonetheless, that said, I have sometimes witnessed behaviour from mod authors that is utterly unwarranted. Personally, I just avoid those individuals and their work, but I *do* think that perhaps all should be subject to the same rules and standards and that poor behaviour should be treated as poor behaviour, regardless of the source.

 

Anyway, all of that crap aside... I think Elianora creates some lovely mods, and I look forward to reading the AMA.

[GarnetSan]

I believe this comment from jim_uk deserves a highlight and a separate comment response

 

Mod authors are human beings, they're not machines who can keep ignoring all the crap some have to put up with.

 

Someone puts days, weeks or even months into making a mod, hundreds of hours of unpaid work could have gone into it, they upload it and what do they get? I want this, I want that, I don't like this, I don't like that, do this, do that, questions from idiots who haven't read the readme or those so thick they have to call customer services to get instructions on how to turn their PCs on.

 

Most of us will only get annoying comments under our files once in a blue moon and it's easy to deal with that, the major modders get a lot more and it's enough wear anyone down.

 

The rise of automated tools like NMM have seen a decline in the knowledge of the average user, they don't have to learn so they don't bother, they shove more and more stuff into their games until it breaks, then they blame the modders. There was a time when users could make simple adjustments to mods or fix mods themselves, these days they throw a hissy fit at the author and demand the author does it.

 

I'd like to add something to that last paragraph: The average uninformed user doesn't know how long the process of making a mod is, nor how long does it take to learn how to do it.

 

 

Let's break down the numbers, shall we?

 

Elianora has 85 mods in Nexus right now. Let's put that a mod takes around 36 hours to put together (6 hours over 6 days) I know this is way lower than the actual number, but let's go along with it just for the sake of it. That equals to 3060 hours she has spent creating FREE content for users who may or may not appreciate her work, which is more time than most users even have in any game.

 

Now lets say that each of those mods get around 500 posts(the real number is higher) and that 30% of those comments are users that either have a particular request for you to change the mod in some way they like or report that their mod is not working properly for some reason. These last ones, sometimes instead of searching on the internet the causes of why it could have failed, which are very common and have a really easy line of troubleshooting and solving, they just decide to post "It doesn't work/It CTD's(and it's your fault)").

 

 

That's about 165 people that tell you to change what you have worked on for 36 hours just because they either don't like or don't know how it works, and 14000 people on your overall work of 3000 hours.

 

Now, with the numbers made, I don't think anyone could blame her for being "not nice" and/or blocking some comments that say directly "I don't like your attitude", because she doesn't have any responsability to take those comments. This isn't a social network, this is a sharing network.

 

Also, with the numbers in hand, if you had followed troubleshooting guides, studied your stuff on how to fix it and you couldn't fix it or if you had a request you tried to do it and couldn't do it and posted it in the comment section and the comment was ignored, sorry buddy, you were the needle in the haystack.

 

Finally, I have enjoyed Elianora's work for years now and I have been inspired by her dedication to create my own content. I have never known her for being rude or ill mannered, and it shows in that almost every major mod created in the FO4 and Skyrim has her credited as helping the mod creator.

 

I and many other members of the community love what she is and has been(for years) doing, which is SHARING quality content to any user that wants it.

Best of luck to you in the interview Elianora.

Man, there are some serious haters up in here. I'd like to chime in and say as someone with a fairly good amount of interactions with Eli that I find her to be quite pleasant, helpful, kind, and funny. I consider her friendship material, and I'm picky. Chances are, if you have a bad relationship with her, it's all your fault.

These pathetic examples of her unacceptable behavior: her FAQs, disclaimers, and comment closure stickies. Are you kidding me? If you have an issue with that stuff, guess what, you have an issue.

Or when you do a test where you criticize someone just to see if you'll get banned, you have an issue.

Complaining about a lack of a bug report section, when the mod is fairly straightforward, and is thoroughly tested and known to be bug-free, you have an issue.

When you complain about a closed comment section, because you feel entitled to ask your own question (which has probably already been asked and answered, probably many times, you're just to lazy to look or learn how to use search engines) you have an issue.

People who brag about their philanthropy to use as a shield from criticism, you have two issues. First, if you're bragging about it, you're doing it for the wrong reason. Second, it doesn't excuse your behavior.

People who want to complain about other peoples personalities, you have an issue, and let me save you a little money on therapy, it's probably projection.

[bLakZmOkeareOoouYyye]

Look at all these users complaining about mod authors being rude, it's called being tired of your s#*!. This is exactly why I removed all my mods from nexus, I'm done with all these people who expect some sort of vip service on top of giving them free content. Still waiting for my account to be closed here btw, else I might spout out more dangerous words

That's about 165 people that tell you to change what you have worked on for 36 hours just because they either don't like or don't know how it works, and 14000 people on your overall work of 3000 hours.

Now, with the numbers made, I don't think anyone could blame her for being "not nice" and/or blocking some comments that say directly "I don't like your attitude", because she doesn't have any responsability to take those comments. This isn't a social network, this is a sharing network.

Also, with the numbers in hand, if you had followed troubleshooting guides, studied your stuff on how to fix it and you couldn't fix it or if you had a request you tried to do it and couldn't do it and posted it in the comment section and the comment was ignored, sorry buddy, you were the needle in the haystack.

Finally, I have enjoyed Elianora's work for years now and I have been inspired by her dedication to create my own content. I have never known her for being rude or ill mannered, and it shows in that almost every major mod created in the FO4 and Skyrim has her credited as helping the mod creator.

I and many other members of the community love what she is and has been(for years) doing, which is SHARING quality content to any user that wants it.
Best of luck to you in the interview Elianora.

last part of Jims Text.

When i found Nexus Mods for the first time i didn't had a clue about games like Fallout or creating content for them, oh my. Far above my head but i whanted to know how it works, and yes it whasn't all easy in the beginning and using other peoples mods throwing into my game caused a lot of issues. But to work on my own mods makes me installing wiser my mods and rarely CTD because of a mod from an other authors.

What i realy like to say is, becuase i tryed to figure it all out i noticed in all those years how much time,effort and love that gets into the modding and apreciate other modders even more that makes bigger and better mods then i even can create.

Some people can be very rude or give cristism that isn't constructive but more to bash on the modpage,or yelling "i don't like it or it isn't "lore" enough. I can't do anything with that, it's not helping for making the mod better or removing a bug. It's often more like a slap right into your face for a mod that is created often for ya own personal intrest or taste and love to share . I'm not that great of a modder or got many huge mods & i don't know Elianora personaly. I can imagine that some people may think that she's is being rude to mod users, but that will not say that she is that way personaly to. I react different to on my modpage to then personal to my nexus friends. I can't believe she is that bad at all as many people try to convince other here.

Be objective and just meet & talk with her. Make up your own mind insted following others that got an issue with a modcreator. Edited January 11, 2017 by Xazomn
