Mods for Thief 4?

[ElectroRanger]

Out of curiosty, since there was (and I'm pretty sure is) a modding community for the previous Thief games, how come I've not heard of any mods for this game? Is it because it's not compatible with mods? Are mods just not allowed?

Just wondering is all.

They did not even respect the spirit of the game so why on earth would they support modders? they designed the game to be as restrictive as possible which in general limits or outright denys mods from happening.

I figured but hey, you never know.

I didn't even know someone bothered to make a thief mod for doom 3, but it's out there.

Pretty much this. I enjoyed the game as a game where you played as a thief in a similar ish universe to the Thief Franchise but this game wasn't Thief at all. It would be hard to mod.

by the amount of beautifull maps there have been made for thief1/2 would surely make it very interesting if something in this setting could be done with shiny new game engine, like for instance used in Thief 4.

That'd make for some interesting adventurin'.

Is there at least any way to change gameplay specifics by editing gamefiles? For example remove some of the cutscene transitions when picking up loot or opening doors?

Some nice tweaking in there, like the disable flash
Wish they could fix the very short arms this thief seems to have, why move your whole body when picking up stuff when things are only a small distance away. Stretching out the arms would have done it.
