Question about sharing mods.

[Aedred]

Hope this is the right to post this. I apologize ahead of time if this belongs in another forum.

 

Short Version:

If someone makes a mod using only bethesda's content, does that make it ok to modify the mod, post it on the nexus, and credit their name for initially creating it?

 

Long Version:

I recently modified Kthanecraft's effect-less Time Slow and Time Stop ring mods, in his "Time Stop With A Ring" page. I've included the wavy screen distortion effect that plays when you use the Slow Time shout, leaving out that bright hue that's associated with it. I've sent Kthanecraft a messege about what I changed and asked him if it would be alright to send it to him or upload it to the nexus myself, but he's been offline for a little over 3 months.

 

Before I made this, I spent quite some time looking for anyone that might've made this and posted it, but I had no luck with that. Sooooo, I kind of wanted to make it easier to everyone that wanted these aesthetics by posting the mod up. :mellow:

I think, generally it's not ok to modifiy a mod and upload it, without the permission of the author.

 

In this case, since Kthanecraft gave Modifiication Permission on the mod, I would see no problem as long as you credit the original author.

 

The Modification Permission says:

 

You are allowed to modify my files and release bug fixes or improve on the features so long as you credit me as the original creator
