It's comments like this are what lead to mod authors losing the motivation to continue to create free content for all to enjoy. Games like FO4/Skyrim would have died out LONG AGO if it wren't for mod authors & the content they provide for us free of charge. Thank you.

Many quests, though.

On the other hand, maybe the OP is just winding us up. If so, well played :D

Ethreon wrote: Funny, I had to go out of my way to find offending pictures. That tells you all you have to know about the initial poster.

Loveblanket wrote: We won't keep our comments to ourselves. It was a simple question and the best thing to do would be to answer it. People hear need to get their heads out of their backsides and understand that just because something is free does not make it free from either feedback or criticism. And any mod author that is so thin skinned that they can't handle it is free to close their comments section. To answer your question, no I don't think you will find it offensive at all. They are both quality mods and some of the few quality quest mods available for Fallout 4.

Loveblanket wrote: Considering you pick a fight with everyone in half the mod pages I visit, Ethreon, you aren't really one to talk. You do exactly the same thing by commenting on every post that you don't like. If you don't like the posts you are free to ignore them, aren't you? You have literally become the biggest troll on Nexus so no surprise you are here. The word is hypocrite, it would do you a service to look it up.

Thuggysmurf wrote: LoveBlanket: Out of respect for the superior other 4 mods listed on Staff Picks this week, can we pretty please not muddy up this thread any further over a silly mod like Outcasts and Remnants?

We created a special forum thread, just for you, or anyone else who wants to chime in, over on the OAR mod page. We'll be happy to discuss over there all you want. I'm sure Ethreon, Defender of Mod Authors Everywhere, would be happy to join in.

soulgamers wrote: Hi
OMG! their are some with a " Prudish Disposition."
was they born like this, I don't think so. or has their mind been corrupted by other Prudish ideas from other closed minded adults.. the answer is yes. they have had their mind distorted, pulled or twisted out of shape. = brainwashed. but they don't know it.
It is these people who become TROLLERS of Adult material.. but they have no idea WHY?
So I'll forgive them, for they know not what they do, or why. ;D

oh my god! what if they came across my adult mod. literally. Call the medic, they'd have an heart attack.
I wonder if prudes (secretly) ever watch porn?
I think the answer to that is also "Yes"
--------------------
Hi Loveblanket.
:armscrossed:
I did look up the word hypocrite.
perhaps I'm one too!. . but in the other direction.
coz I never use a mod without "scantily clad women. in the pix." I know those of a "Prudish Disposition" would call me "A Pervert." :facepalm: :yes:
But, I'd still say I'd forgive them. Coz they know not Why, they say it.

Priceless :D :D

Ethreon wrote: "Recently" as in not long after the CK package was launched with all the official plugins needed to make animations, meshes and texturing, soon followed by mod maker tools for every aspect, including custom animations. It's difficult to accept you're wrong, but you sometimes need to.

@ravernware: You just won the best example of the title "entitled person". Congratz. I will try to save some time and join your celebration in your basement.

.. the worst gaff of and otherwise fantastic mod was the inclusion of the whole current political crap (Clinton/Trump) into a fantasy game where i come to escape all that .. after one complete play-through I'll be uninstalling this mod permanently for that one reason alone .. otherwise, this mod competes very well with the whole Fusion City add-on (arguably the best DLC-level Mod to date) ..

.. it's heart-breaking really .. fantastic mod that breaks itself with an injection of reality ..

Zazuban wrote: Thank you so much BlindJudge for your staff pick of my mod: Dogmeat A True Companion. I never expected so much attention when I made this mod. I started off building the overhaul when I was playing the game with my friends watching me over Steam since they didn't own Fallout 4. They always wondered why I never used Dogmeat and one of my friends brought up fixing it so I did. It's nice to see so many people glad to use him again because every Fallout deserves a good Dogmeat and the default one we got was sadly underwhelming. Thanks for everything!!

DjinnKiller wrote: And a VERY great mod it is, well deserved.

BlindJudge wrote: You are more than welcome and I totally agree with your sentiment. I always preferred Dogmeat to other companions, but just found him a bit 'meh' in vanilla. Your mod gave him a new lease of well-deserved life and I enjoy using him in the game again, so it's me saying "Thank you" to you.

.. simple mod that REALLY enhances the play of the game .. well done .. one of the best ..

[Moksha8088]

Being able to include two outstanding mods (Heather and Outcasts and Remnants) made reading this particular week's picks worthwhile.
