Nah, you're good.

I rarely browse the Vortex forum here, since I don't use Vortex.  But today I did, and saw this thread:

Someone had a problem; they'd downloaded SoS off Lovers Lab, but Vortex was mistaking it for something from an apparently-unrelated mod on Nexus.

Pickysaurus solved the mystery -- a case of mod theft was confusing Vortex:

It the is SoS mod from the LL site.

After the last update it is showing the Mod Name as 'Male':


It has the wrong version number and category.

Right Clicking gives an Open on Nexus Mods option that it should not do, due to not being a Nexus mod. Clicking the option takes me to the one I linked.

I have uninstalled, removed the mod altogether and tried again same results.

It still picks up load order conflicts against the correct mods that need the load order determining, so it just seems to be a visual thing on Vortex. Threw me at first as I was what is this mod wanting up update?

Edit: Just installed today's update and still the same.

This has been solved. The owner of the mod page uploaded SoS without permission to their mod page and named it "Male". 

 

  Not something I expected to find in a troubleshooting thread!

Ya think?

Would my username be considered offensive? I mean, I am a redhead, so it isn't to me. But I don't know if it would be considered offensive overall. I'm new here, so I've got things to learn.

I don't see how unless an atheist makes a fuss about the 'Angel' part. I think you're good. Inappropriate usernames usually contain expletives, racial slurs, hate group references. Or anything that insults Nexus. 

Since you're new, you may want to take a look at the Forum and Commenting Guidelines just so you know what's expected of you while in the forums or commenting on a mod page.

And also, this thread is for discussions about the Formal Warnings and Ban section of the main forum. If you have website related questions, it's best to address them in the Site Support section henceforth.

Added colored links. I was bored and decided to get fancy.

It sounds like maybe you're gun shy due to trolls. The internet in most sites is often brutal. The only people who would find Red Head or Angel offensive are trolls, and moderation in Nexus Mods is quite effective in dealing with trolls.

If someone gives you grief inappropriately, just use the block/ignore feature on them and report them to the moderators. Welcome to the community

Well, I can't say that I'm surprised about this. Dude had been on this road for awhile now. I am a bit disappointed he was banned before he read my reply because I kind of wanted to help the guy. But, it is what it is.

I hope he figures it out... and not just how to play Minecraft.

Well, as I got personaly burned by trying to help him (in a thread "What would I need to upgrade to get more performance out of Skyrim?"), I realized why others began to avoid him like a plague. Although not evil or something this guy simply can't do anything right and in his rage he blames everyone else instead of himself. As I was named troll and liar (normaly I wouldn't care, but on a world wide forum?) in the end, I promised to ignore him completely and I kept this promise until the end.

Sorry for my rambling, but I have still bitter memories whenever I see this nick. I promise I will not speak about him anymore.

Angel is my first name, so that's why chose it. I was thinking of different usernames and thought, "Well, I'm a redhead, and my first name is Angel. Let's go with that."

I know. I'm so creative.
