Mods no longer available?

[ShaleK111]

I recently deleted and re-installed everything having to do with Fallout 4 only to discover that several of my favorite mods are now being hidden by the author for an undisclosed reason. Am I pretty much SOL here? Or is there some way to reacquire them?

 

Mods in question are:

Floor Perfectionist (I can replicate that by holding down the Q ( or is it the E) key but the mod is still easier)

Vanilla Floors allow indoor walls

Center snap point for stairs

Flatwall doorways and windows

 

I'm 99% certain they are all by the same Mod author (searching for these mods on other sites turns up the author's name as "ModLurker" but no such author exists here. I'd rather get them from the author him/herself but am at a loss as to how to contact them.

 

Alternatively, if am I indeed SOL, can someone recommend an in depth tutorial for a complete modding newbie? (I've deduced that as these mods involve altering the snap points NifSkope will be needed but have zero idea how to use it.)

 

And finally, assuming that I can replicate these (and that's a huge assumption!) what is the etiquette on posting said recreations taking into account there appears to be no way to contact the author?

 

Thanks for any replies and recommendations.

if the author hid his/her mods then yes you are "SOL" as you put it. There is no appropriate way to get the authors mods after they have been pulled unless you get the from the author himself.

 

As for making your own mods, and someone please correct me if im wrong, I think its totally ok for you to upload a mod that does something similar so long as you created it from scratch. If you managed to use anything from the authors original mod though you would need to get permission from them.

 

My best advice for tutorials and such is to just open those tools and start messing around with them yourself. There arent a whole lot of tutorials for fo4 up that i can see because the modding scene is rather by comparison to skyrim. However modding fallout 4 and skyrim are similar* so looking up tutorials and the CK wiki for skyrim might give you useful information.

 

Good luck man.

When they launched DLC03, a variety of visible improvements to snapping where added, as long as what I can only think are engine code improvements. It made the barn items work much better than the previous sets, and gave us the tools to improve whatever we had done. However, he had his own system and apparently it got broken by updates and DLC. So he deleted all his mods in protest.

Emphasis mine.

 

I mean, how dare Bethesda fix their wonky broken crap! That's OUR job!

The Author hosted his files on UploadAZ from what Googles cache says and with finesse I was able to obtain all four packages.

 

Google stores all data on it's servers, when you do a google search, instead of clicking on the blue text, click the green cached and then follow thru.

 

any way's all files removed from here are obtainable in this way...if you really want to go through all of that trouble.

 

after looking over the files, you don't need any of them any way, they are currently in the main game now "fixed or not" they are there.

 

so the search and observation of these was a waste of time.

 

Google is the source.

Hmmm, that sucks. And is pretty weird also. Wasn't his mod only really nifs? I don't see how it would have been affected that badly.

all 4 packages renamed are all the same exact files under different headers. Like I said a waste. Just repeats of the same files.
