Nope, outside of that there's top-100(I think) advlt mods. Same with images. I've been with nexus with the start, that wasn't always there, PES doesn't have it. I'm sure the need for it arose when 80% of the mods started becoming advlts. In a way it's useful for finding more useful mods I suppose.

I'm not lambasting pormography, just, time and a place. Skimypy armour's a bit of a pet peeve for me.

or better looking drivers

i get the whole modding thing, in fact, i think gaming is better for it. It sure in hell beats paying over the odds for micro transactions that many devs release nowadays, so they can bleed their fan base dry.

However, and as this thread proves, there's obviously some people out there that get their jollies from having control over a nvde or semi nvde set of pixel(s). I can't ever envisage the day when running around with a nvde or scantly dressed toon would give me some sort of sixual gratification, which strangely doesn't seem to be the case for some people. I suppose it's the closest thing some people will get to having a rl female - male relationship.

Even so, censorship should be opposed at every opportunity, because almost all artistic works (think requiem for a dream, eyes wide shut) have erotocism to some degree It's an innate part of human existence. The difference is the human element, and that it's done tastefully and done to further the plot. With these mods it's just running around in ridiculous armour. The problem, I think is that the medium of video games have not matured, they are a young form. Film took a long time to get respected as a legitimate artform, I hope the same happens for gaming.

PS. Isn't internet pormography "pixels"? I understand your sentiment and agree, but that always annoys me.

I'm not saying they should be censored, nor did i insinuate they should be censored, I just don't get the whole nvde/semi nvde pixel thing. but that's just my opinion. I suppose it's like the whole bondage/swinging/foot thing, what floats someone's boat isn't necessarily understood by others. Hell, there's even amine porm out there, so people getting their jollies from some man made creation is nothing new.

I wasn't accusing you of endorsing cencorship, just wanted to throw that out there.

Nudity is not always sixual in films and books, why can't they make it work for games?

I suppose some of it is their demographic, I think it could be argued a lot of gamers don't conform to what is considered mature,
Also there has been lots of history, legal and otherwise between games and nudity/sixual content.
It's percieved as a kid's toy, not a story telling medium in its own right, and so nothing can be taken artistically and is regarded as cheap smut.
(see mass effect and fox news)

Without wanting to derail the thread, the whole in game sixual thing is usually a wasted adventure in most games. it adds nothing to game play, it adds little or nothing to the story being told and it's usually just implemented to drum up extra business. After all, six sells and the extra exposure (no pun intended ) sixual content attracts is worth its weight in gold to both the devs and publishers.

last i checked, Skyrim or any other TES game for that matter isn't sixually orientated, so to include this sort of content makes no sense and i suspect that's why Beth don't include it. Even the whole marriage thing is pretty linear and doesn't touch upon the sixual side of things.

That's a bit of a harsh statement, I don't think people would bother modding a game where they don't like the core experience. SkyUI is a bit of an exception I suppose because you spend a great deal of time interacting with the interface.

Requiem for a dream includes sixual content, but it is designed not to be titilating, quite the opposite in fact. It is supposed to be disturbing to make a point. It was undreamed of that any mainstream film could have that sort of content in it, but now it is normal enough, and it serves a purpose. This is because film is considered a more mature and legitimate for storytelling than gaming.

Why not for games? Not just sixual content, other things that would never be allowed in the game. I would love a game that let me experience in first person surviving the nazi regime as a serb, or a jew. Films doing things like that (polanski's "the pianist") and more notably, schindler's list.

The press would lynch mob any dev that did it.


EDIT: Check out requiem, or at least read the synopsis, it's a good film

Simple, once developers have released a game the product is already in the market and their sales will follow. There is little to gain by changing things in the vanilla game instead of making more content and selling that (DLC's / expansions). Modders on the other hand improve and expand upon the greatness of a game by implementing either their own ideas or popular requests (such as a better UI in skyrim's case). It's not illegal in Bethesda's case because they fully allow and even endorse their modding communities (it's allowed by most game developers and publishers, except the really big ones like Activision and EA, but their games are rarely worthwhile when it comes to modding anyway).

Bethesda's support of modding has become quite a big feature of TES and Fallout games, to the point that people consider it one of the greatest things that comes with the games (myself included).

Edit: it's also noteworthy that developers tend to borrow ideas from mods and implement them in next installments. Quite a few features in Skyrim were mods for Oblivion (companions, finishing moves, mannequins,..). It's a win-win situation and mods contribute more to the game industry than some people would like to believe.

Because people are doing it for them-- for free. Releasing these tools is an ingenious idea by Bethesda, they allow for freelancers to use their talents and creativity and the entire gaming community benefits.

are you a console player? You'd find it hard to understand something of which you've had no experience, if that's the case.
