Is modhub.us a legit site

[rhino350wynn]

I was in a discussion on another thread that got into the topic of modhub.us. I’ve used them for years ( and actually thought that they were affiliated with Giants which turned out to be incorrect) with no issues. Quality mods never had an issue with viruses. My question is are they a legit site as in do they have permissions to host the mods they host? I did reach out to a couple of known modders to ask their opinion but haven’t heard back yet.

Nope, this site is definitely not legit, concerning the mods which are offered there.
As an example you find a number of mods on modhub.us which belong to some modders from marhu.net.
I can assure you, that those will never allow to offer their mods on othere sites with an altered download provider. But this is exactly what you can see on modhub.us every day: mods which are coming from other sites, uploaded to a different provider and offered on modhub.us.
I personally avoid that site because there are a number of very suspicial "mods" to find there.
Example: you can find the fabulous new and long desired FS19-Version of "Courseplay" which is clearly impossible as the authors of the origninal courseplay just started to convert it and there is no functional version so far.
And the Courseplay which you find on modhub.us is a fake and in addition to this it contains malware (which I guessed from the comments).

So, to answer your question in one word: no. ;)

are you confusing modhub with https://www.farming-simulator.com/mods? Because https://www.farming-simulator.com/mods is a legit official site. Modhub us is not.

Good enough. Just that they supply mods without permission is enough to not use them imo.

The problem with Giants ModHub is that it seems to take forever for mods to be approved, whereas Modhub.us approves mods faster. The modders that don't want their mods on any other site but their propietary, hole-in-the-wall website/forum vs. a more distributed platform, are only shooting themselves in the foot in terms of exposure.

Haha don't talk about exposure, that argument has been debunked a million times in the music and art industry already. The legit mods are out there. People are just way too lazy to find them.

And Modhub.us doesn't approve mods. You upload whatever ♥♥♥♥ you want, no quality control is done. Its just another filesharing forum

How has exposure been debunked? For example, content that only shows up in iTunes I'll never see because I don't use iTunes. However, I have Netflix but someone who doesn't will most likely never see "Fuller House". Regarding mods, the more websites they're on, like anything, the more exposure they will get--period.

Funny since the one I uploaded wasn't immediately approved but took a few hours.

Modhub.us is a fully legitimate and safe site, it's been reliable for most of ten years even tho it no longer is at the same host it was originally located upon. There are a lot of people who think that the guy runs around the internet stealing everybody's mods to post to make huge stacks of cash from exposing you to an occasional Nissan or Ventrac advertisement. Just doesn't happen.

Modhub.us has *never* tried to pop-up or load more things or download a fake file to me.

As to the Marhu.net comment from the first commentor... those files were legitimately placed BY the authors and anything available on Giants' in-game modhub can also, as per agreement joined by the author with Giants, be re-posted with modifications.

Modhub.us is legitimate but it's full of repaints and not necessarily functional mods because they don't actually test anything.

But it certainly isn't running around the internet stealing mods. I go to fs-games.eu and find stuff not on modhub.us all the time. One would think that one of the older sites would maybe get checked regularly?

The only risk to modhub.net is that the mod doesn't work right.

In technicality Giants had to ask permission to use "modhub" in game.

i use that site on occasion. Tired of getting malware, and I don’t have time to scour the web for mods. He doesn’t always have the most current version of maps or other mods. The people I hate more are the private guys showing their stuff and not releasing it. It’s like hey look at me.
