TH3Captn Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Really sorry if I am in the wrong place to be asking this, but I didn't know where else to post. I was wondering if anyone has had experience with this site before. I tried downloading one of their mods (weapon mod) and I downloaded a zip with only the .esp and no textures. They also have an option for an "automactic installer" which is a sketchy .exe file that requires admin permission. Just looking for some help here. Will delete this post if it breaks any rules or if I am in the wrong place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pheo3309 Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 (edited) I wouldn't trust it being that they're hosting files that are aren't theirs. Have you noticed that each upload is by people who aren't the same mod authors? I looked at their Skyrim section, and it looks highly suspicious. Also, you shouldn't have to use an executable to install a mod. Applications, yes. But for installing mods? Highly suspicious.

nivea Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 That modding site is known to have some major theft issues, I would not download from them since you more then likely can find most those mods where the authors actually uploaded them originally.

TH3Captn Posted July 29, 2013 Author Share Posted July 29, 2013 Yeah the whole site is kinda sketchy. I ended up running the exe file out of curiosity and it was basically an installer where you could drop the files, except the problem was it was only the esp file and no textures. So I would not recommend this site for mods, but the exe file seemed harmless, I swept in with a few anit virus scanners and then made a system backup incase. Hopefully everything goes smoothly and I didn't get hacked by russians haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
