Do NOT buy this game. They have banned mods and the use of mods. DO NOT BUY!

[N30C]

The ELUA says you may not use mods at any time with this game. Given how broken previous bethesda games have been its the only way to make them playable. Banning mods is insane when its literally why skyrim is the legendary game it is. Never buy a game that bands mods period its what keeps games alive for decades post launch this is so short sighted its insane.

[KaylaKaze]

Can you post the relevant part?

[TRUCK]

Don't sit there, typing, telling me what to do, like you're some type of authority over me.

[Tyrianis]

It doesn't ban mods and there are already mods for the game. Way to be a lying sack of ♥♥♥♥.

[TRUCK]

Bro also said "bands mods"... "bands" what the actual F does that even mean? Like a rubber band?

[Kalenthraz]

There's literally already a bunch of mods out ready to download on the Nexus, what are you talking about "Banning mods" ?

Also would like a source. Mods were part of success in community for Morrowing, Oblivion and Skyrim. So why should they completely give up something the community loved?

Sometimes I wonder if Todd is salty cuz everyone kept saying that Bethesda games are only good cuz of the mods so he went nuclear on modder rights to save face lol

There has been over 72,5k mods for Skyrim LE and over 108,5K mods for Skyrim SE on Nexus. How many of them were "co-op" mods or for "multiplayer"?

I guess the community were rather upset, if ENB or "adult" mods were suddenly banned.

Doesn't matter. Seamless co-op in ER now exists as a mod. Plus, they are probably scared that a co-op mod would hurt ESO.

"I need a source" the source is the EULA...the thing you can click and read, and in fact it is in BIG CAP LETTERS about "anti cheat" and they will scan your computer for "anti cheat" and you are expressly agreeing to the access to your computer.

As someone else here so kindly posted

I think the attitude of "Doesn't matter mods exist and we can anyway" defeats the point of the conversation that if I buy a game, I should own the game. I should be able to do what I want with the game I should be owning because I bought it. The "I want this shiny thing so take my money" kidna ruins the gaming industry. Money talks and all we've collectively been saying is "It's fine, AAA faceless companies, we'll pay for your low-effort rehash and then wait for modders (who don't get paid) to fix what you never will" and idk I think that's a little gross.

It's important to know what you are buying.

It's important to know what you are agreeing to

Literacy and comprehension (as well as overall care) is at an all time low.

No, no one is telling anyone what to do - except the company you are giving money to while allowing them to scrape information for things that REALLY do not matter in a single player game, while also making it just playable enough for modders to come in and do the hard work.

If the game worked, if they polished what NEEDED polishing, if they did anything more than spray paint the damn thing, maybe mods wouldn't even be desired. I have the physical copy of the OG, and that works better, and for free, and without Bethesda being able to manipulate it.

I would not be surprised if this is in the EULA cause they want to shovel their own "confirmed" mods for...of course... consumers to purchase. And if that be the case, I'll be thankful I didn't contribute to their dirty pockets. But it won't mean all that much because most people don't care and that's a shame.

People are dumb. This thread is dumb.

[Ellye]

The files are on your computer, you do whatever you want with them.

[SomethingCoolBro]

It's a singleplayer offline game. I'm going to mod the hell out of it, EULA or otherwise. What harm is there to anyone? None.

Who will find out? Nobody.

You hear me Todd, I'm putting giant boobs in this game and you're not going to stop me.
