A question about TLOU1 mods

Why isn't there mods for this game yet? Most I saw on Nexus are reshades and fixes. The rest are on paid patron of some modders. Is this game abandoned by modders?

A lot of modders also might just have too many issues with the game to even bother trying to make mods. And yeah, there's always a big chance new patches would break the mods
Also, I don't know what engine TLOU is using, but if it's new to PC, that's also a factor in how fast people can start modding the game. With the RE4 remake, the RE Engine has been used for a while so there are more people who have prior knowledge and who are able to quickly make mods

Maybe because the game is released just a week ago? It is also possible that modders are waiting for all issues to be fixed, just in case any new patch for the game will break their mod.

When a game like TLOU is being patched on almost a daily basis, it can break mods compatibility. Many modders won't put in the time and effort until a game is stable.

I was about to write exactly the same as skooma cat.

Resident evil for example has already lot of mods from RE2 remake and RE3 remake and routines that are easy to port on RE4 remake, that's why there are many mods already available.

TLOU is getting patched every week and it can sometimes break mods, and the game engine is new as it's naughty dog exclusive and not unreal or other common engines.

It will take some time, but i'm pretty sure lots of mods will be available in the next months.

More than a year later, and there's still barely any mods for the game, just mostly reshades and configs. Uncharted 4: Legacy of Thieves Collections is also suffering the same fate so it's probably something with the engine on PC not being super moddable friendly, or the lack of mod tools given from the devs to the community. It's kinda sad but maybe in the future it will improve.

For future on-lookers, as of now a large share of the tlous modding for PC is pateron locked, a list of mods would be very helpful but for now its very hard to get to them.

I heard some saying on sony getting in the way of some modders, with some pateron's being taken down but I'm not close to the situation/dont follow.

I despise the gate-keeping culture around modding, and this is by far the worst example of it. AND LOCKING EVERYTHING TO DISCORD, WHICH HAS SERVER LIMITS EVEN ON NITRO IS NOT AN ANSWER!.

The game is very linear so the scope for mods are limited. From what I've seen of the engine, it's not very mod friendly and there aren't any tools.

Plus most people will play the game once or twice but then move onto something else.
