Open Cities issues

[Exakter]

I'm making this post because I went to post a specific Open Cities error on that thread, but unfortunately the author has locked the post.

 

Which is a great shame. It looks as though there were too many people with errors and some of those are legitimate, some of those are related to other mods, and some of those are because people are impatient and don't read warnings/readmes.

 

Well I had very real issues regarding the gate at Whiterun being locked AFTER I got in, and essentially locking me in (or out). I can cheat and open the gate (which I did) or teleport but... still. I'm not even sure it's specifically Open Cities, but since it's the only mod I'm running that edits that worldspace, it's likely related.

 

I hope the author re-opens his thread because I'm unfortunately going to start a new game without Open Cities for now until I can communicate at least with other users about the issues.

 

It's early days, there are going to be problems with mods, the game, and even the people using mods. Patience is required by all, but most essentially by the modders. Getting frustrated with new people using your mods is not helpful to anyone! Especially when some of the issues in the thread are claimed by the author to not be related, while others are saying "but it's the only mod I'm using that edits..."

 

Now I never modded Skyrim, but surely people talking about issues and trying to solve them is better than just shutting down any conversation? I mean... it's not like it's going to HURT the mod. Open Cities was notoriously buggy in Skyrim, to the point where I actively avoided it. Now that we've got an SSE that will allow us to use it without the inbuilt issues the author throws a hissy fit at us? I don't want to shame him, because that wont encourage him to open the thread (though it's definitely immature) and instead hope that others who want answers and appreciate the work like myself will encourage him.

 

(Ex-modder myself, so I know what I'm talking about! - I've got mods I created over 6 years ago still being played and updated by others today! Yes, I left the scene because of the time requirements and a lot of issues I'm sure this modder is facing)
