As you can tell by my post count and length of membership here I have been far from.. contributing.. however I have always held this site in high regard and my first "come to" when I wanted a mod for my game. The quality of the mods and sheer volume of mods is truly breathtaking! Just this evening actually I reinstalled Skyrim and started a fresh character after grabbing a bunch of mods from here. My girlfriend was sat reading her book then commented how amazing some of the outfits my character had looked and just how amazing skyrim looked saying "I don;t remember the game looking THAT good" a part of me wanted to say "yeah thats what a new gfx card can do" so as to validate spending the £500 I spent on my gfx card the other week haha but I didn't.. I said it was due to the amazing modders of this website, so she had a look. And thats where my trouble started.. she spent the next 3 hours scanning through this site looking at mods so she could create her own character haha My point of my ramble? This is an amazing site with amazing content and I can;t thank the community enough for producing such amazing mods and sharing them with us! On that note I find it extremely distasteful that anyone would take a mod that is so generously uploaded here, and then steal it by uploading it elsewhere claiming it as their own! Give credit where credit is due, and at least ask the owner of the mod permission first and if you get it then when you upload it then SAY that it isn't yours and you got it from someone else, a link back here would be great ;) as well. Now to play devils advocate.. I have a quad core 16GB ram 4GB gfx card with SSD hand built pc rocking a ROG motherboard with all the trimmings.. I also have a Playstation 4 and play online with many of my friends using that rather than the PC, not everyone can have a super spec pc, I work in IT so get my tech cheaper through the company. But what if I wanted to play Skyrim on my Playstation with an amazing mod I found here? Now I know (at least what I gather is the case) only xbox can use these mods at present.. but say I wanted to use a mod from here on my console.. the only way of doing so would be to upload it to Bethesda first so that I could grab it on my console right? And that I can see is a problem.. it then "encourages" people to upload it to Bethesda so they can play it, and there by sharing it with everyone else as well.. sure theres the asshats that, as already stated in the OP are bragging about what they are stealing.. but I am sure some are simply doing it as a workaround to get the mods on their consoles and mean no harm to the developer of the mod by doing so.. but still.. they should ask permission first.. In ending.. love the site, love the content, and a big thanks to all that contribute here for your hard work! And know that I at least won;t be uploading anything I get from here elsewhere :)
