MOD Organization Suggestions

[FatherAzerun]

I was going to offer a humble suggestion (or two) for some additional categories for MOD files.

 

First, I do not know if the Nexus could possibly have MODs which could have dual tags (be in two areas) or not. If so, I thought some of the more "popular" but different kinds of MODs included the following, as suggestions of new, browsable areas:

 

1. WILD WASTELAND MODS: These are the fun and goofy mods, from the propeller hats and alien salesmen to the golf clubs that shoot people across the map when hit with them. I think the original files would still go well to be tagged in areas that they belong in (gameplay changes, cheat and god items, weapons, etc., since Widl Wasteland tnings are in various parts of teh nexus) but for someone looking for JUSt those oddball things, a separate flder would be cool.

 

2. ADULT: Similarly, those files that are adult content -- Animated Prostitution, nude body replacers, etc, could be tagged in a separate folder.

 

3. HARDCORE: A number of mods are really only targeted for those who like hardcore mode, and this folder would have those mods that appeal to the hardcore (thirsty and sleepless) player.

 

4. FOREIGN LANGUAGE: I can only imagine that those people looking for mods in Italian or German (the two most common language conversions) must get frustrated to try and find their mods, so folders for different languages might be very useful for them as well.

 

 

Another possibility might be sub-folders. It is clear that some areas are mroe popular than others, and maybe warrant some simple sub-folder action. For example, on WEAPONS, which is very popular, maybe a section for melee, unarmed, Energy, Guns, and then Multi/ MISC might help those browsing for items.

 

Miscellaneous has got to be the largest folder -- maybe some suggestions to help browsers with subfolders might be in order here too.

 

One last idea: Community tagging. For files that are in teh "I Forgot to set this" category, maybe we could enable a community tagging feature where commentors could help tag the files so that they could end up in the browing areas.

 

Anyway, just some organizational thoughts. Merry Christmas all!
