kalthazz Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 would love to see someone post their entire data folder of skyrim or oblivion maybe on a torrent of all thge mods they use and maybe let others test it on their machines or something to make it simpler to playthrough with little trial and error as it can be a pain to download them one at a time and learn later most wont play nicely!

TheVampireDante Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 That would require permission from every author of every mod they used and packed into that file - and I don't see that happening any time soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalthazz Posted February 7, 2015 Author Share Posted February 7, 2015 maybe but they would not have to know as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalthazz Posted February 7, 2015 Author Share Posted February 7, 2015 just hate doing trial and error it always ends up badly most of the time and hate having to do bashed patches that end up never working and crash the game right off the bat!

IkeCoast Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Then stop modding your Oblivion, it's obviously not for you. I assume you're quite young. Lots of things to learn. Sometimes, for casual players, modding is not worth the effort. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasmer Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 (edited) Oblivion is a pretty unstable game as it is, it can't be helped, but rather than looking for somebody to copy/paste their mod setup onto your system you'd do better to power through it. That trial and error will teach you a lot about modding Oblivion, and it gets less tedious and more efficient every time you try. On the flip side that copy/pasted/torrent data folder might crash your game on load or shortly after starting because your system doesn't, say, meet the requirements or you have a different version of the game (GOTY, or not fully patched, or what have you). Just as many things can go wrong simply copying a data folder as fumbling through it yourself, only with an entire data folder you'll have absolutely no clue where the conflict is.

lupicatalum Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Saying that the mod author wouldnt have to know is just bad etiquette and highly disrespectful. how would you like it if someone took your work without your permission? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bben46 Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 maybe but they would not have to know as well!They will know - because a google search will find it. And their friends will tell them. You cannot easily hide stuff on the internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasmer Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Saying that the mod author wouldnt have to know is just bad etiquette and highly disrespectful. how would you like it if someone took your work without your permission?I'm betting with an attitude that feels the mod author doesn't even have to know, OP is one of the folks who wouldn't care if their work was distributed without their knowledge or permission. There actually are people who create stuff who don't care what anybody does with their copy of it. Still, @OP, many people feel very differently, and it's understandable. They put a lot of effort and work into making their mods and understandably want to be appropriately recognized by anyone who redistributes their assets. Some people want more control over their assets and so don't allow redistribution at all. I don't know what Bethesda's policy is on intellectual property or copyright on 100% purely player created resources (like textures), but if you redistribute a mod or share somebody else's data folder without consent you could even be violating a copyright.
