Xanorak Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 I noticed recently, it seems that there is less and less activity in modding nowadays. Last time, I would check back every day and see brand new mods, I would open ten to fifteen, and will probably download ten of those. I would check back after doing the shortest of tasks knowing that a new mod would've been added by then. But nowadays, whenever I check the Today and Recent section, it's all the same as yesterday. Nothing new. What happened? Ran out of ideas? That's what the request section is for. Have you guys noticed this too? I am saddened by this...
Branimirzg Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 Modders are just taking some rest, soon you will again see 10-20 new mods per day

With fewer people buying the game the longer its been out, the fewer new modders are going to come here and post their mods. It doesn't help that it's not exactly an easy process to learn how to make decent mods. There's a very, very steep learning curve and most people are just plain scared off by it.
Xanorak Posted October 25, 2009 Author Posted October 25, 2009 Yes, I understand. But then, it also seems that many people are just sick of modding. RegentEagle has given up on modding, so has Jaysus, and so many others. I guess it's a burden for many :( Also, it doesn't matter how long ago the game came out if the mods keep it new and fresh all the time. It's like getting new DLC's everyday, but it's free. I just really hope that modders don't lose the motive to mod again...
ecksile Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 Id say its due to the stubbornness of the game engine along with the still limited software's. Plus the people who are decent or more at modding tend to all be working on several large projects by themselves. So you add all that up and you get a lot of problems a lot of frustration which leads to disinterestedness. Which equals more breaks and troubleshooting and less mod time. Plus you have to remember that no one here does modding for a living everyone has lives. Well most people...
LinkesAuge Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 I wouldn't judge the mod community by the quantity of mods, a lot more important is the quality. We also had the summer months in which activity is always lower. Overall I see a lot of progress made in regards to FO3 modding since it came out and thats just a year ago. A lot of mods have come a long way since that time.
junin Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 No he's right, Modding's gotten old. WE QUIT! :P
Xanorak Posted October 26, 2009 Author Posted October 26, 2009 Yeah, I know it's about the quality of the mods, but last time I would open up atleast 10 mods and download most of them. Ran out of ideas, guys? That's what the request thread is for!
Tony the Wookie Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 Ran out of ideas, guys? That's what the request thread is for! wow... :blink: there really is nothing that I can say to that... at least nothing that wouldn't get me banned from this website...
Cipscis Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 I know there are at least a couple of modders (me included) who are waiting for FOSE v2 before we start any new projects. Also, I'm not sure about in other parts of the world but here in New Zealand it's exam time, so that's sure to affect some people. Cipscis
