Khormin Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 I'm just changing my (rather complicated) installer so that pretty much every line reads similar to:<![CDATA[If you are using Isathar's mod 'AmmoTweaks' (http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/4036/)]]>I figure after selecting four or five patches to add in, people will start to notice that only the nexus is being linked to...
SombreErmine Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 They've got more here: http://www.modsfallout4.com/ Pretty much just crawls Nexus Mods and uploads anything and everything.
craftymonkey Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 Wow, didn't know there's a problem with English sites that steal mods from Nexus. I'm the administrator of the most popular Russian site - modgames - and we always ask permissions and give credits. We have the same problem - people stealing our translations without asking and crediting anyone. Can't say we won this battle, but here's something worth considering: 1. Header in your modification. You can put working links there and your nickname.2. Watermarks - isn't very effective. I mean, everyone knows Nexusmods and you can't put exact link to your mod there right? :) Also people (especially in my country, Russia) don't give a s**t if it's a stolen mod or not. So basically all you can do is inform them that the mod is yours.3. Fomod installers - effective. You can put a link in info.xml and everything else you want.4. url file in archive that leads to your page. Can be effective if a person who is stealing your mod is too lazy to unpack the archive and delete this file. Hope this will help.

If you're hosting a translation for any of my mods there, give me a heads-up, and I'll edit the FOMOD accordingly.
