People think that it's okay to mod the game files because Squenix hasn't gotten around to adding outfits yet when most of the mods are lewd and will never get added are part of the problem lol. MODS ARENT OK SIMMER DOWN GUYS
I mean, to be fair, I think it’s perfectly fine to mod cosmetic things like character appearances (i.e. hair, make up, muscle tone, etc.). I even think it’s perfectly fine to mod the appearance of certain clothing items that are ALREADY in the game.
But when you blatantly start modding full outfits of NPCs that SE has not released in game yet, you are breaching a level of breaking the ToS agreement that can and will get you banned.
That aside, despite how “in demand” an item might be to a community, it’s a pretty big fuck you to the developers of this game that have already worked so hard to create unique items in their game just to say, “Hey, since you won’t release this cool item to me that I want– fuck you! I’m gonna get it anyways!”
Just because you take an item off a shelf in a store and say it’s yours, doesn’t make it yours. If you walk out of that store without paying, it’s still stealing. That and it’s just plain disrespectful, in my opinion. It’s one of the reasons I don’t use any mods on my game. That and I don’t know how they fucking work and am too lazy to figure it out.
Of course I can still appreciate how much time and effort these people are putting in to making these mods for themselves. I’m absolutely impressed with detail that went into the NPC outfits I’ve seen. To the point where I honestly thought the outfits themselves had finally been released and went rushing to the mog station to purchase them for myself. Only to realize I had been BAMBOOZLED by the mods someone had created!
And again, I’m not saying you should disable the mods or stop using them. Just be careful what you post. Because as much as you might think that they look good for your screenshots or that using them will encourage SE to finally release them, I’m going to be the bear of bad news my friends and tell you– that’s not how this works. You will get caught. You will be banned and I will not feel sorry for you when you do.
