What happened to Wibbles?
Where did the Wibbles mod go? I was enjoying him. Now I will have to restart. :( I will survive, but I just wanted to know what happened.

I think Fireborn's removed all his mods. There were some posts in his Missions mod page which frustrated him.

Modding is not for me. Dealing with other humans is not for me.
Ever since my friend died i have been getting more frustrated and emotional about everything in life and its hard to handle things.
I removed my mods because it adds to stress.. The stress is leading to violence and suicidal thoughts.
I just sat here for 7 hours watching gore videos of people killing themselves and pondering if i really want this to happen to me.... Normal people dont do this.. Somethings wrong with me and i need to cut things out of my life.

ok? :)))))))))))))))))))))

Shame. I really enjoyed this mod and its basically ended my campaign once it was removed :/
Dammit! Gotta restart another campaign again. Dammit, Fireborn! I've had 4 campaigns destroyed by modders yanking their mods off the WS, and 3 of those times it was you.

Look, I hope you feel better soon, but I'm gonna steer clear of your mods from here on out. Not because there's anything wrong with them - you've always done good work. I just never know when the next time is that you'll get a wild hair and take your toys back again.

I just save the files :/

Getting the mods from nexus[www.nexusmods.com] instead might help in this kind of situation. I'm still subscribing through Steam myself though.

Fireborn, I am sorry you are having such a hard time. I am sorry about the trolls I truly hope you find someone or something to help you through.
That being said, I did think Wibbles was a great mod, and you did well.

@insufferable smartypants wow dude, a more self centered jackass than you must be hard to find. The man (my friend) is opening up and letting people know he's going through some really tough times right now and you only care about your fekking save game.. It's people like you that make modders quit providing free stuff.. I've lost a bit more faith in humanity reading your little "the world is all about me, my mom says so" attitude

@fireborn dude you know how to get a hold of me if you need to chat.

Wow, Fireborn. Sorry to hear about all that you're going through. It sounds like tough times. Be strong. Sometimes it's easier to talk about things to someone you don't know, here in the UK there's the Samaritans. They're good. Don't judge, don't advise, they just listen. I'm sure other countries have their equivalents.
Really, some mods for some game really pale into insignificance.

@Ob: not really self-centered when you've put a lot of time into a campaign.

it is however selfish when you feel you have to brag how long it took you to make a mod, that you remove one because "it didn't get as many subs as i wanted" despite over a hundred people liking it and using it, and deciding to update a mod into a Highlander without telling anyone.

I do hope things get better for fireborn, but some of this he actually brought on himself.
ObelixDk 68 29 May, 2017 @ 8:16am 
@arkhangel I think it's better if I don't reply to your comment, as I don think I can keep a civil tone towards your lack of empathy towards other human beings.

Listen up gents. To those saying oh he messed up my game and that's all you're worried about, go cry somewhere else please. A person's personal reasons for quitting modding should be plenty enough reason to stop. He didn't have to give any reason to why he's stopped and or why he took down his mods that HE MADE and so can do as he pleases with. He doesn't owe anyone anything. Yet he did give a reason why he's done. He's not well and that's clear as he's pointed it out. Instead of people only worrying about there games (which you probably save scum anyaway) and very easily can restart, why not offer some support for a guy that's going through hard times? As for you Mr. Arkhangel... dude just stop!! You constantly bash people and their mods and spam people over and over and over to try and get every mod made into what you want. And then get salty when someone says no. You have been blocked and banned by many people because of this. Please just lay off Fireborn.

Fireborn life always throws things at you that you never expected. Loss of a friend is one of them. I can relate I lost my son. Please seek the help you need you are way to young to deal with stress such as this. Your never prepared for losses of people who are close to you only age helps you cope better. Stay strong sometimes choosing life is the harder choice. But in the end seeing your child grow it is worth it. Thank you for Wibbles faim and the other great mods you gave us.

I dont want to heat the flame any more but despite knowing what it means to be at the edge like that I cannot understand the decision. I mean there are alot of abandoned mods on the site. few of my fav mods do not work with LW2 anymore so I had to disbale them for the LW2 campaign. but deleting the mod instead of just abandoning it is just a bad move :( I did find an old version of the mod on another page but it wont do.

on another note, hope you can still keep you head up. Depression can be terrible and sometimes its impossible to get over them even with meds but if there is any help you can aquire, get it. I had years of psychological support, cant say I live totally happy now, but at least it helps to not see the world as only bad anymore

@Ob: I know how depression is better than most, as it's something i struggle with myself every day and i do have empathy for someone losing a friend and loved one, but lashing out at people isn't the way to deal with it, plus at least half of those thing i mention happened he did happened nearly 12 months ago.

@fireborn: If you're still in mourning after that long, it's probably wise to seek counselling about it, rather than trying to deal with it on your own. your friend wouldn't want you to destroy your life over their death. I'm a high functioning autistic, and i know i can sound blunt and harsh a lot, and it doesn't help that from the get-go i'd been told you had a bad rep with dealing with people, or how i reacted when you turned your original turret mod into the Friendly AI highlander mod without warning. Since then i've tried to be as polite as i possibly could, even at those times when it seemed you had an inate talent for rubbing people the wrong way.

The modding community isn't as heartless as you think it is, but we're not Psi-Ops, letting us know you lost a good friend from the get-go might've helped a lot of people be able to cut you some slack, and even honor him or her in our way, like i did when I character pooled Platoon, a Modder who died in a Car Accident a few months after XCOM 2 came out.
