Can you use mods that require dlc without owning the dlc?

[demarcus]

I really wanted to use the immersive armor and weapons mod, since ive used the mods of the same name for both oblivion and skyrim and loved it, but i dont own the dlc. It shows red in NMM because i dont own the dlc which makes the game crash, like im sorry i cant afford the dlc, does that mean i dont get to enjoy mods?

It depends, if the mod description says you dont need the DLC then that means the Mod includes the meshes and models, if it does say you need the DLC, then you need the DLC as they would have the meshes and models the mod depends on

Those are ridiculously rare, since everyone assumes people managed to buy the Ultimate Edition in the past eight years.

I don't know why you would want to mod like this if you didn't already own all the DLCs. Rule of thumb is if you want to use DLC-dependent content, then you must own that/those license content(s). Otherwise, you're foraying into violation of end user license agreements, a chief reason why a lot of game developers and publishers do not SUPPORT mods, and even issue permabans against players who attempt to go online with modded games.

Sure, the issues aren't precisely the same when you're dealing with singleplayer games only, but the meat at the heart of the matter is this: Did you pay for what you want to play with? You won't find that the developers and publishers have a sympathetic ear when—for instance—they learn you're using a mod enabling you to use a weapon from DLC that you have not actually purchased.

How would they learn of something like this? By reading your posts is how, and they do. Not so much the publishers, but the developers. They need to know what's going on with the people playing their games, so they read forums like this, and many of them are even moderators.

Besides, a game this old? Why have you NOT bought all the CHEAP downloadable content? If that is a concern, can you afford a computer that runs these applications? Shortcuts breed more than one type of problem, and it can get hairy when said shortcuts attempt to go around the law.
