There is nothing more annoying than..

Returning after some time to play with your mods (I mean to play Skyrim) and realizing that you don't know what any of them do, as when you unrar them, there is no mod name and no modder name. The only there there is some weird abbreviation of the mod which could or could not exist anymore, OR some instruction sheet that tells you the same thing all other instruction sheets would tell you with no mod or modder name included!

 

I know you're humble, but take credit for your amazing work in a readme pls. I don't want to miss out on your mod because I don't know what it is anymore..

 

I guess it is my fault for not cataloguing properly, so I guess I'm asking for a favour then.

 

Thank you for listening.

I agree, every mod should have a README in the download. We should not have to copy and paste the Description page from the Nexus.

 

Some mods are done very well, but others have one title on the Nexus page, a differently named file to download and an esp with another different name. That makes them hard to trace back from just the esp.

Agreed, some modders, even those who do big mods, sometimes skip over the most basic things such as a properly named .esp or a simple readme. Almost as annoying as bad screenshots that are taken purely for artistic looks and not for properly showing off the mod. -.-'

What I've started to do to prevent this confusion is I've been renaming the mod archive with the appropriate mod name if they end up being called main file or something similar. I also keep a folder structure similar to the nexus categories to keep everything more organized.
