dpolier Posted April 24, 2008 Author Share Posted April 24, 2008 im in LA but i wouldnt do that...its not that hard FYI...For me it is. I'm a screenwriter who only knows his way around a Mac and barely that. I had someone start the project for me and I found it way too complicated to even configure the controller. Even then it doesn't work so well and I will probably have to use the keyboard and mouse. Figuring out why there are conflicts etc with the various mods is way over my head. Anyway, if you want to reconsider I was paying him $20 an hour and we got about a third of the way through the project as I have a 50 or so mods to download.

OnyxNightBlack Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 I am not even close to your area (I live in Germany), but I can give you a rundown or answer questions you might have via PM for free. Honestly, don't waste your hardearned money on something that can be obtained free or learned with some help. I also felt completly overwhelmed when I first started applying mods, but after some trial and error it's even satisfying to do it yourself. :biggrin: P.S.: Again, I am not asking for any kind of monetary reward.

Vagrant0 Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 For me it is. I'm a screenwriter who only knows his way around a Mac and barely that.

Don't get me wrong, Macs are good if you want to just use a program, and not think about anything else. It's practicallty idiot proof. Unfortunately, this leads you to expect a certain level of immediate use which just isn't practical in the real world. Something tells me that you're also the sort of person who would pay to have their furniture assembled. No offense. The problem is that sometimes there is a certain amount of assembly required, and there aren't always people around to do it for you. There are however instructions, and I'm sure that you could do it if you tried. I don't know what this project is, but you might be better off keeping things simple and managable. Even when you know what your doing, trying to make 50+ mods work together can be a real task. Even more so if you're using some mods which don't necessarily like playing along with others (Deadly reflexes and some OBSE mods in particular). In those cases, you may even be forced to choose one mod or the other. But really, installing most mods is hardly rocket surgery. Once you understand the folder setup, and learn how to extract the files from an archive which retains that folder setup, it can be a very quick process of installing things. The real matter of the issue is this. Nobody knows you, who's to say that whatever person you could find wouldn't end up missing. Or who's to say that you won't. Even dangerous people can hang around on a gaming site. It really wouldn't be safe for either party for such an arrangement to be made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone see MSNBC's series called "How to catch a predator?" LHammonds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
