@leonardo2; You did not ask a detailed enough question so as to warrant an answer. What is it that you'd like to see/have that the Nexus does not currently provide?

I haven't got time to look through the previous 203 pages, so I will put my point here.

 

I can't find a 'Categories' section when looking for Mods in the new-look website menu system. Am I missing something or is there no equivalent option apart from 'search'?

 

I would very much like to see it available.

 

Thanks

It's labeled "Mod Categories" in the new design, it's in the "mods" drop down. See below:

I am not sure if I can get familiar with the new Design. It is all about frames and it looks a bit "app-ish." Optimized for handy users I assume.

Its not as bad as arstech's 3 panel or Bethsedas newer garbage UI, it is still a bit to phone friendly which is a bit intuitive on a pc... but I've seen worse!

Locking a comment will prevent replies to that comment. Comments made sticky will default to a locked state. Authors still have access to reply to locked comments. Unlocking it will allow everyone to reply once more.

 

Hope this helps!

Understood, thanks.

A particular mod I have seen features content from an existing IP and in my opinion appears to have used ripped assets from a game of that IP that I have played, from looking at the images the models/textures appear to be the exact same. The publisher is troublesome so I am a bit worried. Thus I have reported the file because I feel there is the possibility of risk for the Nexus, but I am wondering two things afterwards:

• Can we get in trouble for erroneously reporting a file either because it is found by the moderation team to not be violating the rules or the reason(s) specified turned out to be incorrect? I downloaded the file but realized I probably cannot confirm 100% for sure that it is in fact ripped or is not ripped. So there is the chance he actually created from scratch but it looks pretty close to actual game file. If I am in error perhaps should I refrain from reporting a file in the future if I am unsure/cannot confirm that it's using ripped assets.[/size]
• Are mods featuring content based on an existing Intellectual Property allowed? (I am using different example below so as to not provoke the person in question & I refrained from commenting on the file in question)

Let's say it is a Naruto mod, like it is characters/outfits/etc from Naruto like this: My understanding is that if it used ripped assets like for example used assets from Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm that would be 100% illegal

 

BUT

 

What if the mod is based on what would be copyrighted designs therefore the mod author don't actually own the designs but they actually created-from-scratch assets and only relied on these self-created assets. Like what if they used 3DS Max, starting with 3D primitives and gradually shaped it into a Naruto character's outfit then made textures in Photoshop using the UV map. Then rinse-&-repeat for the character's hair and again for the eyes like if the character has a Sharingan or Byakugan(Different eyes that are recognizable from Naruto). Thus the total mod would feature an adapted rendition of the existing character made for Skyrim or Fallout.

 

I have selected this example as obviously everything is copyrighted/trademarked but also because I feel it would be likely that a Naruto fan would feel it ideal to use all-original assets & textures due to the dramatically different rendering & artstyle between TES/Fallout & the licensed Naruto video games. I feel that a Naruto fan would want to make things a bit more realistic and would want to fit the outfit to CBBE for female or Vanilla/Superhero Body for male.

only if you keep reporting the same file over and over.

yes but only if everything was made from scratch or theyhave permission to port the assets (such as the witcher franchise)
