Scripted Leveled List Injections for Clothing/Outifts

[Vanguardascendant]

Hi All,

 

I was thinking about taking my first stab at modding by using the leveled-list injector tutorials to create some mods that adds mod outfits to the leveled lists. It seems like there's a lot of great clothing mods that add lots of outfits to the game, but not to any of the leveled lists. Some examples that come to mind are some of tookiejones' survivalist and camping mods and some of Femshepping's outfits.

 

Does anybody think there would be much demand for a mod like that and do you recommend getting the original mod author's permission before publishing something like that?

 

Thanks.

Hi, Vanguard.

 

Could be nice for some users to have something like that, but, I'd get permission for each mod you use in the list and make it mandatory for the user of your LL mod to download the individual mods it covers. Even though it depends on the mod author in question, whether they have posted anything about it on their mod's page, I'd get in touch with each mod's author anyway. There seems to be a lot of varying opinions on what counts as copyright infringement, but I would say that if you included someone else's work without their express permission, that would be a violation. If you get the thumbs up from everybody that would be involved, just remember to give credit and provide links to the mods involved. If you plan on a port to Xbox, know that overloading the LL on that platform can cause crashes. I would guess that is true for some PC users too, depending on what they're running with. That might be why you don't see too much of this type of mod - could also be that some clothing mods are fine by themselves but when a dozen people on the screen are outfitted with purdy gear - purdy bodies - purdy faces - etc, certain systems become overwhelmed - especially Xbox.

 

As far as demand, I'm not sure, it would depend on which mods you're using, personal preference and all. I imagine if you made your lists somewhat modular it may help - but, don't be afraid to include an AIO; just a thought. Also, remember to endorse each mod you use, people like that. Also also, no one can stop you from making personal mods - that you are not going to share - that do just what you're suggesting; I'm pretty sure a lot of folk here, if not most, put together a few of those.
