Mod File Names

Keep in mind this post is in no way to be taken too serious. However, I really do have to mention this.

If you make a mod, please try to name the file to something more obvious. Going through my mod files, I realized I had about 30 - 40+ of which I had no idea what mod it was by the file name. About 10 - 15 of which I was never able to figure out.

 

I do believe this has taught me to rename files before saving and not to expect the creator to name their files in a way that makes sense XD.

 

Just a slight example, say I make a mod called Ultimate House Mod, naming the main file UHM_Main.zip may not be all that obvious to someone who didn't make the mod. Then if I release a patch for another mods compatibility, lets say SkyRe. Naming the file SkyRe_Patch.zip, again is an issue if you are not, me, the mod dev.

 

I normally don't post, but really after spending nearly 2 days organizing and renaming my 300+ mods, it kinda gets to you XD.

People have been complaining about this for as long as I can remember - I don't think it will change any time soon. Most experienced modders are aware of this though.

 

I guess the only thing we as mod users can do is rename the files as soon as we've downloaded them.
