Question about permission for using other modders mods...

I am working on a standalone. I've been working on it for quite a while and when I finally release it to the modding community, it's going to be kind of big. Just the prelude has the player up to a level 6 or 7 by the time he/she is finished. My question is this. There are several mods that I have installed on my pc that I would like to use. One is Improved Atmosphere. There are two items I would like to use for my mod. I've asked the author for permission and am waiting to hear back from him. Do I need to get someone's permission if I don't actually include the mod in mine but require they get the mods I used for it? I mean like I'm using Improved Atmosphere, but if I don't include the actual Improved Atmosphere in my file and tell everyone they have to have it and any other file, do I have to have their permission? I don't mind asking them but there are a few that I don't believe are supported any longer. I've asked the authors and none of them have replied. I do hope I am making sense here. lol

 

Anyway I will have to thank whoever replies to this in advance because I don't actually have internet at home and I'm using my laptop in the parking lot of McDonald's right now using their free wifi. lol So if I don't respond, please don't think I'm not appreciative. I just can't reply with my cellphone. I can read replies. I just can't make any.

 

Thank you,

Lady H.

@LadyHonor;

 

If you simply list the "Required Mods" to make yours work, then you don't have to get "permission" from those authors. (And to be extra-helpful, you might include direct links to each of them. :laugh: )

 

As long as you aren't including the other mods themselves, you are just making a new work that builds upon the work of others, and encouraging players to obtain those original mods in order to use yours! :thumbsup:

Thank you so much! I was going to release one of the armor sets I've made for it but wasn't sure if I could since it used an item from IA. But since then I've realized that they were available in Awakening. I installed IA before I got Awakening and thought they belonged to IA. Lol I'm typing this on my cell. If there are a lot plus signs I'm so sorry. Lol I'll upload my armors the next time Im at McDonalds. Lol
