Deleted28570945User Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 I recently recolored Sader325's Mystic Elven Armor and Weapons. But like most of the stuff I do, I have no idea if I am allowed to upload or not. If a mod author never comes on here anymore, how are we supposed to get permission? What would be the correct way of attempting to share something like this with Nexus Skyrim modders? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SineWaveDrox Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 If the author has a Permissions section set up, you can look at that to see if they allow modifications and/or reuploads. Some authors allow others to do this without having to contact them first. If the author does have a requirement that they are contacted first, or if permissions are not explicitly spelled out, then they should be contacted before uploading. If that is they case, but they have not been online in a long time or are otherwise unreachable, then permission cannot be gained, and upload is not possible.

LadyMilla Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 There is no "dead man" clause in our Terms of Service, that is, if a mod author does not allow such modifications explicitly in the Permissions section of the mod's Description page or in the Readme file (whichever is the more recent) and you cannot contact them because they have been inactive for a long time, then you may not upload and share your modified textures on the Nexus. We require explicit and clear permission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leonardo2 Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 In cases this it's always a good idea to contact the author at least try, but if that doesn't help then PM an admin or a moderator and ask them before uploading anything here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agerweb Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 I have been through this concerning an author who was actually dead. It is still no permission no modification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate to rehash this but could you please take a look at the permissions and tell me whether I am allowed to upload or not?https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/5600 It appears that someone has already uploaded their recolors:https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/8723?tab=files I just don't want to get in trouble! :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agerweb Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 In this case the author's permission specifically allow you to use his assets (except in paid mods) but it also states that some assets are other peoples and you must get there permission. From the description these assets appear to be the horses so as long as you don't use the horses you should be OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
