Venlafaxin Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Hey there, everybody!I just wanted to hear everybody's thoughts about this, since I'm unsure what to make of it (and if there's any rules for it)Say a mod adds some specific changes that I really like (which conflicts with another mod) and I want to edit the mod to more adequately fit in to my personal playthrough.What are the rules and moralistic views of "picking out" parts of a certain mod to use, while leaving the rest disabled/removed? It goes without saying that the changes made won't be uploaded nor shared afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisnpuppy Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 The Nexus does not care what you do with your own game. You (as you said) can not share the 'changes" unless you have specific permission from the mod author. We also frown on asking someone else to do it for you (asking here on The Nexus), then share it with you (through The Nexus.) If you want to do it yourself for your own private enjoyment, go for it. After all this is a way many learn to mod to begin. Good luck and have fun.~Lisnpuppy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venlafaxin Posted June 20, 2017 Author Share Posted June 20, 2017 Thanks a lot for the quick answer :)And yeah. I've been fiddling with mod load orders and such for so long it'd sort of make sense to start learning more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimboUK Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Modding other peoples mods is how I learned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoorlyAged Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Or just delving into other peoples mods to see how they did something is also a great way to learn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slostenn Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 (edited) Modding other peoples mods is how I learned.This. I've learned far more from reverse engineering others' mods than I have through tutorials. Besides learning, I also make personal changes to many mods I download because, the way I see it, the whole reason I'm installing the mod in the first place is so that I can tailor the game to the experience I want. I don't see my personal changes to a mod as any different from the mod's original changes to the game itself.

MightyZ0G Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 depending on the mods, you could make a merged patch in F4Edit there are lots of posts and tutorials on Nexus forums on how to do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skubblebubble Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Changing existing mods for personal use is also how I learned. MAKE BACKUPS FIRST!!! You will break things. You will. (I certainly did):D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
