YouDoNotKnowMyName Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 Good evening everybody! As you might know, it is now impossible to delete mods that you upload. This makes me very scared to upload anything that has any actual new content (so things like new worldspaces, quests, lore, ...).Mods that just fix stuff or add new functionality (like beeing able to use vault 88 as the railroad safehouse-settlement) are fine, I am not afraid to publish stuff like that, because there is nothing in those mods that actually has been thought up by myself. I am currently working on a big custom worldspace mod, I started doing that just for personal use.Lots of stuff in that mod is potentially weird, disturbing, cheesy, awful or just stupid.Until now I thought that I might upload it at some point, because why not, I can always take it down if people really get upset.Besides, I don't really care about negative feedback online. But now I am really scared. Because if I upload it, it will be there forever. And at some point, maybe if somebody in "real life" finds out I make FO4 mods and makes the connection between my username here and my actual name, those things will have negative implications in real life for me.Nobody that I actually know "in real life" knows that I play FO4 or make mods for it, and I like to keep it that way, because if people search for "fallout 4 mods" the first things that come up are pretty much just all those sexy mods and I don't want to have to explain all of that.And for example, that worldspace mod that I am currently working on has a lot of things in it that somebody who knows me in real life would immediatley recognize. I know this sounds like a really stupid problem, but I just don't know what I should do ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showler Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 It was always "there forever" when you published something on the internet. But, if you're that stressed about it, publish the mod on a different site. Nexus doesn't control mod publishing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouDoNotKnowMyName Posted November 6, 2021 Author Share Posted November 6, 2021 It was always "there forever" when you published something on the internet. But, if you're that stressed about it, publish the mod on a different site. Nexus doesn't control mod publishing.Yes, but I was never really worried about it, because the whole "people downloading the mods to then upload it agian when the original gets taken down" only really happens if there is anybody out there who actually cares enough for a mod to do something like that.If a mod is not very popular, something like that does not happen that much ... Yes, I could upload on antoher site.But I don't want to deal with multiple modding sites, and this site has an awsome forum, so I would like to stay here ...

pepperman35 Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 Well mate, if you are truly that worried then continue to make the mod for personal use. If policies here change in the future, you could reassess the situation. A few people in real life know I mod this game and they have been both a source of inspiration and encouragement.
