oh my Yoba you're alive. Thank goodness. I was worried when I hadn't seen you for a while on my dash. Welcome back!

GAHAHA I promise I'm very VERY alive! I just also very much so have an entire career now and I'm like THIS close to getting a degree in said career field so I've been SUPER occupied.

Looking back, I also honestly don't blame you for worrying either 💀 When I was super into SDV prior, when I was the most active here and around the community when I was 17-18, I was going through one of the worst times of my entire life and it very much so shows to me now in retrospect, throughout... like. Every ounce of interaction I've had with SDV. It was such a massive coping mechanism for me that I also genuinely felt like I had almost ruined it for myself for a while because I felt like I used it to express something really inherently ugly? But even though I feel like yeah my past was laced heavily with ugly, that's the past. So much has changed. I'm an actual adult with an actual life now, and I feel like a real person if that? Makes sense?? SORRY THIS IS PROBABLY WAY HEAVIER THAN ANYONE WAS EXPECTING FROM AN ASK OF MINE BUT 💀💀 I feel it important to state regardless. I have a proper grasp on my own identity and so much more life experience and a renewed ability to revisit this piece of media to love it again, but now for a much much healthier reason. And I wanna start creating SDV content again due to that!

At work all day today I was going over how I think I want to touch up and then continue my SDV fic in particular? I've been doing a ton of writing over the past few years, and while I do still draw as much as possible, writing is more accessible to me atm with my crammed schedule. So maybe I'll have some writing for y'all if I can manage to squeeze that in time-wise? Culinary school has absolutely devoured all my free time though so that could be another few months out, but WE WILL SEE!!

Either way, sorry for the very gigantic ask response, and thank you so much for sticking around and remembering me. Know that above all else... no matter where I am, in the end, I shall ALWAYS thrive. I promise 💕

Hey all, wanted to share some information here, since most of the popular places SDV modders frequent have been censoring this information.  Many of you may know I refuse to provide support for users with the Stardew Valley Expanded (SVE) mod installed.  There is a very good reason for this, and it started back at the time of 1.4 releasing. FlashShifter was distributing modified copies of Karmylla and I’s work behind a paywall without our knowledge and in violation of Karmylla’s permissions. I became aware of this due to an outside source, by sheer accident. When confronted about it, FlashShifter denied use of our assets, but I have copies of the files and screenshots to prove it. The method of distribution was via a “private beta” on Patreon, something that is also in gross violation of NexusMods’s policies (see below).

EDIT 11/7/2020 - recently a second violation of this NexusMod policy occurred, after a reprimand at the time of the original incidents.  An anonymous user who is aware of the problems with SVE passed the news on to me on Oct 22 that the Patreon link was again available on Nexus.  A check of the donations control page showed the policy is still in effect.  As of today it is down again, but it was up for at least 1 week, possibly more.

And finally, behind that paywall was also copyrighted music. While the community is divided on whether or not “game rips” can be used in mods, the consensus trends towards allowing them if they are credited and demonetized. Putting a company’s music behind a paywall is certainly a violation of this. We attempted to resolve the issue away from the public, but FlashShifter refused to take responsibility and resolve this as colleagues should. Karmylla choose to place a statement on the Immersive Maps page stating that her work was being used without permission and in full violation of her permissions.  The NexusMods team refused to take the mod down or force the removal of the KIM assets. In addition, FlashShifter has long had a $60+ dollar tier on his Patreon page, offering patrons the chance to “privately chat with [him] on the SDV discord”.  The SDV discord is a public server, open to any and all users who want to join.  It is not and has never been under the control of FlashShifter, and there are no Patreon private channels there.  Furthermore, after the split of KIM and SVE, FlashShifter left the discord server altogether, while leaving this tier available to purchase.  I contacted Patreon numerous times attempting to get them to handle this issue, but was directed to “reach out to the page holder” to resolve it.  So be warned, if you purchase a tier on Patreon and the creator doesn’t award it, you are pretty much SOL.

On the note of monetization, since it is a hot topic in modding, I can confirm that the devs give their blessing to modding, with the caveat that it be made known that any mod is not official in any way, implied or otherwise.  That includes allowing donations and things like DP earning or Moddrop Plus.  For some mods, you can also make use of your popularity and enable direct donation to charity organizations (the Diverse SDV project does this).  However, I can’t confirm if there’s an upper cap to what the devs find acceptable as far as modding donations are concerned, so I personally would tread carefully.

Since these initial incidents, several more have occurred.  SVE added a dog house to the farm, incredibly similar to the one made by another author that was released very close to when SVE released theirs.  And then custom fish, including one that directly conflicted with an existing mod that was known to FlashShifter.  The author had contacted FlashShifter prior to the release of that update and was assured the name would be changed so it didn’t conflict, only for FlashShifter to refuse to change it.

The work of a modder who had been absent from the community for quite a while, and who had strict no-redistribution permissions, was re-uploaded and modified in SVE.  When reported, the content was removed briefly and re-uploaded within 48 hours, claiming permission.  The PPJA team (Project Populate Json Assets) had been trying to contact this author for months without success.  One of the other team leads was finally able to find another contact for the author and confirmed that they had never granted permissions to anyone for their mods’ assets.  Shortly thereafter, SVE removed the content again, without explanation aside from “the author requested it be removed”. Another popular framework modder, Spacechase (also known as the author of Json Assets), had their mod assets stolen at the same time as the one above, with not a single message asking for permission.  As of this point, to my knowledge, permission has never been asked.

Though not a theft incident, SVE also contained so called “mature events”, that were initially turned on by default for the mod.  Myself and many others were blindsided by a scene showing the aftermath of Haley being sexually assaulted, with absolutely zero warning and frankly without a reason.  This scene was actually the tipping point for me to stop using SVE myself, before the theft incidents occurred.  While I myself do not have PTSD, many do and further many have triggers related to sexual assault.  This kind of content should be reserved for a highly content warned, adult restricted mod at the very least, if not outright NOT done in this kind of game. All of this points to someone who gives zero shits about the work of others and only wants to profit from piggybacking off of a hugely successful indie game.  I very much enjoyed SVE when it was first published and felt that I was on good terms with FlashShifter; I assisted with a lot of the wiki documentation and helping with Content Patcher questions.  I’m sad to have lost a friend (or so I thought we were) to greed and lies. I had been silent on this situation for too long because it was causing me much physical stress, to the point of triggering heart arrhythmias. But the community deserves the honest truth.  I implore you to consider whether you want to support someone who lies and profits off the work of others, to the tune of more money than some of us make in a month (before the amount was hidden, FlashShifter was receiving approximately $1000 per month for SVE on Patreon.  To my knowledge, those who have contributed large amounts of support to the mod have not seen a dime of that).  Modding is a joy to many of us, a creative outlet and a way to connect with others.  To take something that so many of us do for the sheer enjoyment and twist it for your own profit, to break the trust of your peers…..this is not what SDV modding stands for in my opinion. The moderators of the SDV discord server and of NexusMods have failed us in this matter, frankly.  The main moderator of the SDV section of NexusMods has a monetary interest in SVE - she makes music packs for the mod, monetized both on Nexus and on SoundCloud.  The modding channel moderators of the discord server are aware of the incidents of repeated theft and have chosen to ignore it and even allow/encourage FlashShifter to return to the server when I brought my concerns up on another platform previously.  So many veteran modders have left the server, in part at least from this issue.  While I respect that they may not want to cause “drama”, there’s a line between keeping the peace and sticking your head in the sand.  And with SVE being allowed to get away with theft, the incidents of stolen mods/assets have skyrocketed.  In a week alone I dealt with three separate issues, including a direct rip of my code work.  I fear it will only continue as long as the biggest consequence is a slap on the wrist. I am happy to discuss this rationally and calmly here - trolls and those coming to post hateful messages or insults can and will be blocked.  I certainly can’t make people stop using SVE, but I can educate people and allow them to make an informed decision (hmm, sounds like my day job :P).  Just know that I also have the right to not provide assistance with my mods when you use them with SVE.  Thank you all for putting up with the long post.  Thank you all for the support up to this point and for god’s sake, #WearADamnMask so I can get back to modding!!

Another thing to consider is how SVE interacts with smaller content mods. People can’t make NPCs, maps, schedule changes, dialogue and events, or even characters and portraits without being asked if their mod is compatible with SVE. This wouldn’t be much of an issue if SVE gave users the option to turn off more parts of the mod to avoid conflicts, but for the most part, it just steps on other mod authors and forces them to either accept having a small userbase or do the extra work to make their mod compatible with SVE.
