bben46 Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 There is currently no middle ground. Adult filter on, or off. :rolleyes: Take your pick either you are mature enough to accept it when the hot files are not always to your personal taste. Or you are not. The hot files do change. Next week there may be fewer that you don't approve of - or there may be more. :P There is a reason they are called 'hot' and that is because these are the most liked files of the current crop.You may not personally like them. That puts you in the minority. Why are there so many? Because they are easier to make than a quest, house or dungeon mod. It takes a day or two to make one of these, and 6 months to make a decent quest. So for some reason we tend to see more of the mods that are easier to make than those that take a long time. What makes them Hot? These are what the members are downloading and endorsing. Does that mean these are the best mods - not really, just the most popular right now. That quest that took so long will hang around make the top 100 and still be there a year from now, while the hot file of today has long since been forgotten. :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am mature enough to handle the mods, but that doesn't mean I want to see it all the time on the front page. I am not visiting a porn site ... I am visiting a mod site.

It's even worse if I'm trying to browse while at work. Even if I'm on my phone, I have to cover the screen with my hands like a crazy person just to be sure.

Or you could turn the adult filter on while you're at work then turn it off again when you get home. It takes 10 seconds to change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SavageArtistry Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 I just bookmark the "latest files" page and that works for me, personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you typically this ornery, or is this just because I mocked the pervy lifeblood of your website? Edited June 13, 2013 by Maverick827 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGreenLion Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 (edited) I think the problem is not so much that the content is adult, but that it's the predominant type of mod that shows up in the Hot Files. On average the community goes for this stuff like mice after peanut butter (bad analogy I know). Mod authors make it more than any other type of mod. The result is that the Hot Files gets cluttered with "pervy" mods. I know there's a lot of good mods that contribute to the amount of content, but you hardly see them and may not even realize that it exists. I just found out there is a mod out there that disguises your character by wearing faction related clothes. I was thinking about it as there was a topic recently. It's been there almost a year to this day and I never knew! Things like that are really awesome and add to the gameplay rather than the eyecandy. Maybe that's what it's about essentially. Too many eyecandy mods brushing aside content/gameplay mods. I don't mean things like Skyrim Flora Overhaul, Realistic Weather and Lighting, Detailed Rugs and so on. I daresay the authors of the content and gameplay mods have worked just as hard on their project but they receive very little in the way of advertisement. The Featured Files part I do like, it at least gets some of that out there but people do pay attention to the Hot Files big time in comparison. It's the main advertisement for the site but it isn't being utilized to potential I think. It could be used in a way that presents your site as promotional of all mods hosted here. Anyway, that I think may be closer to the issue. But as only one person that's just my opinion. :biggrin: Edited June 13, 2013 by TheGreenLion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
