What has Skyrim Modding come to?

It doesn't have to be a troll. I agree somewhat to what this guy is annoyed about. For some reason, right now, the most popular mods are either A: Followers or B: Presets. Thing is, he doesn't take into account the amount of effort and learning it takes to actually make something substantial or awesome. Take an armor mod for instance. Combining existing armors are rather easy but creating your own from scratch, ie, new models and textures, takes f-ing time dude. Being annoyed about all the bad mods is OK but making a forum post complaining about all the bad mods is maybe pushing it.

 

I've wanted to create my own armor for some time now but I never get around to it because it takes a lot of work and dedication on your part if you want to make the armor good. Not just mediocre and passable, but actually good. It's something he doesn't take into account, which is a bit short sighted and arrogant.

 

And the whole "You've not contributed s*** so you don't get to say s***" is true. Mods are created by the community because people want to, not because someone told them to. So people having standards and expectations from authors is bull and completely unwarranted. That being said, I too get annoyed by the fact that most mods are just sub par. But that's just mainly because I have an a-hole attitude when looking at mods. By that I mean I'm a bit of a perfectionist. So to me, basically 90% of all mods on the nexus is complete shite. But that's just it, it's a preference issue.

 

Dude did a poor job making this forum post since he just comes across as a whiny little guy who just doesn't get the mods HE wants. Me, me, me.

However, his annoyance isn't unwarranted.

 

Rant over.

Not sure why so many responded with such hostility lol.

 

I understand the OP's point too. But you have to keep in mind people do this as a hobby for FREE. We are using FREE content that others spent hours, days, weeks, or months creating, for FREE.

 

Also things die off eventually. A lot of active modders might be out of new ideas. Skyrim pretty much has it all mod wise at the moment.

 

anyways guys loosen up. I didnt view this a troll post. Legitimate complaint. Just hard to justify complaining when the content is FREE.

It's a legitimate complaint to have but I can't justify making a giant forum post about it.

Yeah i didnt see a troll post, still dont.

 

All said though mods take time depending on type. Simple followers and presets take little time to make as such are often the first mods people make or are made for the hell of it and so we have a lot of them.
