Using an inactive member's mod's assets

[TorrentialDefect]

Recently, I browsed Fallout 3 nexus for some leather jacket resources to use in my New Vegas mod. I found a mod called Wasteland and Bog Outfits. I found what I wanted and immediately sent a message to the mod's creator, Sayouk, asking for a permission.

 

However, only after I had sent the message, I noticed he/she hadn't been online for like two years.

The mod's description didn't read anything like "you can use this in your mod if you give credit blah blah"

 

The credits and distribution permission didn't help either, as Sayouk hadn't updated it ever since the system was implemented.

So, what's the Nexus' policy on things like this, like, wanting to use a mod's resources in your own mod but the author hasn't been online for two years? Can I use the assets in my mod as long as I credit Sayouk or should I just leave it alone?

 

The mod is here: http://fallout3.nexusmods.com/mods/7448//?

If permission is not explicitly given, the assets cannot be used, even if the creator is no longer active.

Oh. Shame. Well, I guess I have to just make my own leather jacket, then.

 

The best I can do is just retexture, I just lose even more brain cells whenever I try to even modify outfits or read a tutorial about modeling.
