Zorkaz Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Okay this sounds like the beginning of a rant but is really just out of curiosity. If you release a small script mod that fixes things or is just some quality-of-life thing do you get comments that say "Um.. you can use the console to do this"?

SKKmods Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 LOL absolutley yes, get that from salty boys on reddit all the time. (a) Some script functions are not available in the console (just try to remove a keyword) (b) No console on Xbox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorkaz Posted October 23, 2020 Author Share Posted October 23, 2020 Yeah I'm not even trying to make pro arguments anymore. because why use patches anyway if you can cheat :wink:Although: ( c ) No Console for Survival Players unless you mod it out( d ) You can't remove blood decal that easily Oh no I'm arguing again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKKmods Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Thing to remember is that as your audience grows it will include less desirable members (for example, but not limited to); Angry, shouty, rude, stupid, criminals, peadophiles, "I can do eveything in the console-ers", axe murders & etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest deleted34304850 Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 there's a correlation between the most clueless and the most vocal as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davethepak Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 (edited) Honestly, I have to say comments like that (and many others) is the reason I don't release (or have little incentive to) most of the mods I make. While I am no where near as prolific (or as high quality) as the other mod authors on this thread - I have several mod projects that are "good enough" for my use, but I would not want to release for various reasons. One of the biggest is that unless I feel they are perfect (which is rare) I don't want to deal with the stupid or rude (or both) comments.(or I feel the mods is not good enough - and i don't want to mess up people's games). I have a settings and av mod - that I use for tons of little tweaks in my own game (in both skyrim and f4). I consider releasing it sometimes, as anyone with Fo4edit skills could then change to their hearts content (maybe the service I am providing is a mod with a bunch of useful settings in it, so they don't have to find them?). But I know, that even if I put it in the description - people with either complain, or will want custom versions. Hmmm....I think I got ranty here.

dylbill Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 I, oddly enough, haven't gotten any "You can just use the console" comments on my mods, and most of mine are QOL or scripted mods. I have gotten "This mod doesn't work, fix it" comments, but usually that's because the user didn't install all the requirements or didn't read the install instructions. While it does suck to get negative comments on your mod, you have to take the good with the bad. If you like your mod, and it makes your game experience better then most likely someone else will as well. For instance, I made a small mod for FO4 that adds an aid item that allows you to buy building materials anywhere. Not a lot of people have viewed or downloaded it, but one person said they loved it. So I guess I would encourage sharing, but of course it's up to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJMail Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Being a new sucker in this mod publishing arena, so far most of the comments I have had are either:'why don't you/can you/it would be great if' mod enhancement requests - which I find either an interesting insight into how people play this game, or something I should have considered.or "it doesn't work" - which is becoming a very tedious IT support job for people who really shouldn't be modding their game (without learning the basics of conflicts and how to add/remove mods 'properly') The first is the plus side, while the second is the minus that makes me think @davethepak is doing the smart thing.So I too am wondering how long before the minus outweighs the plus - or I follow other modders and just stop answering (or even reading) those posts.You all seem to have all been at this quite some time - is there an acceptable way to keep on the plus side?

Zorkaz Posted October 26, 2020 Author Share Posted October 26, 2020 Ignore the "It won't work because of no reason" That's really 101% of people that never updated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJMail Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Easier said than done - I am geting a bit over it (already!), and I am not even getting the "you can do that in the console-ers" .Though I am getting the "nice mod but I'm sticking with ..."-ers - an equally pointless comment. So to continue your original post - how do you carry on and keep the enthusiasm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
