Dashyburn Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 The tsunami of "my game is broken" and "when are you going to update this" comments on mod pages today are just painful, people were warned well in advance of what the AE update would do and how to avoid it, as well as how to counteract it if they accidentally updated. Some mods like SSE engine fixes may never get an update due to the amount of work involved, I pray mod authors aren't harassed into oblivion and abandon any thought of updating at all, it is far more productive to neither ask nor harass and just wait silently and patiently for these things to happen.

While I agree, I was someone that was apart of that group of people. Sometimes it's not as simply as following some of the guides on how to revert. For me I had to actually resort to a system restore, then back my original files & then follow the steps to prevent the update... There will be people that wont be able to revert back, for some, this is really is going to destroy their game, and will have to quit after putting 10s to 100s and plausibly even 1000s of hours into their game. While I agree that modders shouldn't be harassed This approach that Bethesda took, is absolutely shocking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dashyburn Posted November 12, 2021 Author Share Posted November 12, 2021 I feel for you having to go to that extent to restore your game and I feel for the modders being bombarded by multiple comments saying the same thing, it's like people didn't even take the time to read previous comments and just typed away, some were even quite demanding and angry which should not be happening. It's greeds fault, the whole thing, having the update as compulsory was uncalled for but if it was voluntary then they can't forcibly wave paid mods in peoples faces, we could just ignore the whole ridiculous thing. All that has been achieved in my eyes is a great deal of upset for the modding community and I for one will not be giving them a further cent for their decade old game that I have already payed for and would have kicked to the curb 9 and a half years ago if not for the wonderful people who have kept it alive, they deserve the money.

Wererommel Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 We just have to get used to the fact that it will NEVER get back to normal. There is no "normal"; half the mods were buggy BEFORE the update, and many will never be fixed. I do hope and expect that mod authors will keep generating content for us. Complaining won't help, but endorsements and donations certainly will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say approach the creator of that mod in a more professional manner - paying some of these creators is 100% worth it, without a doubt in my mind. It's the creation club I don't want to get behind, even though some of the modders have done some awesome stuff on there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted121187878User Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 I agree with all of you, and I absolutely believe that it is more than harmful to harass authors about updatings. That being said, it is also quite evident that we are at the end of an era with respect to modding. Back in 2011, everything was free, ad-free, chaotic and extremely magmatic.From now on, even the Nexus will follow the sad course of all the internet and the videogame industry.
