Which For my mod was 100% unnecessary. So I just put in some lame text. If I had to put a readme inside my file also, believe me, i'd put in even lamer text. Because it's just a waste of time when all you do is install the thing and go. Not every mod has a billion configuration options, so not every mod requires a readme.It doesn't.
Rabbit1251 Posted August 31, 2016 Posted August 31, 2016 If a mod contains a "lame" explanation of what it does I will not touch it. How well can I trust this download to my computer whose author is too lazy or too illiterate to give me a viable description of it's use. The Rabbit
DoctorKaizeld Posted August 31, 2016 Posted August 31, 2016 I agree with Rabbit. You should at least give a simplistic tutorial and description in the readme for me to download it.
Thandal Posted August 31, 2016 Posted August 31, 2016 Number One Rule on the Nexus: "Don't like it? Don't use it."That goes for Descriptions as well as actions.No one is forced to download any given mod. If one doesn't appeal to you, or doesn't meet your standards, (regarding documentation, if nothing else) just don't get or use it.

The Description usually contains more information than the author's readme and will provide a readme should one not be included. This works very well for me. The Rabbit I do the same thing. The reasoning behind this is to be able to reinstall and play the game and mods at any time in the future without going back and trying to find every single webpage. I'll have this game and it's mods backed up on a HDD somewhere long after nexus mods has faded away. Edited September 5, 2016 by MadeUpName92
