Thanks everyone

[Exanimis]

I was just over at the Nexus forums reading about sexualized monsters. I had to stop myself from asking if the OP was planning to add breasts to Clanfears and Deadroths.

I always use a nude body replacer but I have no interest in most of the mods that go along with them. Reading that thread made me appreciate this forum that much more. It's nice to be a member of an adult forum where the word means mature and not porn.

Thanks to all of you for this site.

I feel exactly the same. Some people are going to far.

[WhoGuru]

Aww thanks Examinis and Nolle. It's nice to know people appreciate the home we try to offer here.

I like how on the beth forum the only real way to get comments on your pic is if they are women who had a fight with a lawnmower. And Have their own Gravity field.

Wile there are characters like greenies and whos that are beautiful and fully clothed!

And Ive been insulted and made fun of there wile trying to offer help.

The mods there let stuff get to the edge of hate speech before shutting a thread down.

Speaking of greenie. She has this beautiful girl short hair and glasses.

[greenwarden]

I appreciate the freedom and creativity we can have in a moddable game, and with that said, I also appreciate not having to deal here with the very things you describe, Exanimis.

Glad you like it here.

[myrmaad]

It's nice here!

It can get a bit rediculous over there... I was saw a request for sexified atronachs... they are daedra for goodness sake... NOT porn stars ugh.

Reading that thread made me appreciate this forum that much more. It's nice to be a member of an adult forum where the word means mature and not porn.

I totally agree. Thanks for coming over here too!

Count me among those who agree. Being the dinosaur that I apparently am on the internet, the kinds of mods people are throwing on Nexus is quite frankly sickening. I'd go into why that is, but I doubt anyone's interested in a political debate about the state of our culture today.

Anyway, I'm glad to see TESA has thus far risen above that kind of craziness and I'm hopeful to see it remain that way.

This is my ES home now, and we'll do our best to see that it remains a haven for quality.

Thanks for coming. And thanks for staying.

Random writing ahead.

- Each can do with his game what he or she wants. We shouldn't forget that. While I'm not interested in the mod mentioned in the OP, I'm also not interested in other kinds of mods, too. It's the beauty of choice that everyone of us has.

- However what sometimes put me off are things asked of me to do in my mods. Or other people are asked to do in their mods. Though I tend to go Jackass Genie style with these kind of requests. Ever found the "In Memoria" quest in Integration? Yeah, exactly...

- Take it with humor. Everything. Otherwise you'd lose your sanity even faster than usual. Not that you can stop using your sanity. It's the secret messages hidden in Oblivion. Turns every brain into goo after some time. Humor offers at least some protection.

Got to travel over the continent tomorrow... will be gone for a couple of days... not that anyone would notice my absence, just saying.

[DarkRider]

I would notice your absence, have a safe trip.

And while I concur everyone is free to create/do what they wish, I think the things that get to me are the ones that demonstrate a truly brilliant manipulation of the game's mechanics just to create something obscene when the same brilliance could be applied in a much more positive way. Just a waste of talent in that respect, but to each his own.

bg is right though, gotta take it for what it is, just laughable or you'll go mad fretting over it.

I am proud that the Alliance helps to keep things moving in a positive direction for the future of ES modding and that so many good people have come to call this site home.

[Exanimis]

People should have the right to mod their game as the would. I'm not disagreeing with that, I am simply saying thank to the people who made and maintain this forum for choosing to keep it free of that type of material. Dezdimona (one of my favorite nexus friends) teamed up with Montana blue skies to create an "Adult forum" Their new forum is strictly for those type of mods. I personally am glad to find a forum designed and maintained more to my personal tastes. I don't have a problem with nudity but if it is allowed, this site would soon deteriorate.

[DarkRider]

And we're glad to have you here Exanimis!

[bg2408]

I would notice your absence, have a safe trip.

Thanks! I'm back. Was a... stressing journey (work related, no holiday...).

It's always interesting to hear people with very heavy accents. "Sehng ju vor drehwehlinng wiw Deutsche Bahn!"

(At least I only had to visit Berlin (capital of Germany*). A coworker had to travel to some place in Sibiria. Still on his way home. I've heard it was warmer than he had expected, though the English even worse).

* = does this looks like a capital city? Just asking. Oh and while I'm at it, three more pictures: Speaking about adult entertainment... (never saw anything like this in any hotel I've been before), they put "GOD HELP" on the door of a university... poor students..., at least the station was impressive.

And while I concur everyone is free to create/do what they wish, I think the things that get to me are the ones that demonstrate a truly brilliant manipulation of the game's mechanics just to create something obscene when the same brilliance could be applied in a much more positive way. Just a waste of talent in that respect, but to each his own.

If the mods are popular, and they want to see it in game, it's no wonder they do it.

There's also positive reinforcement at work here: Many modder doing mods considered to be a "more positive way" get a lot less reinforcement. People just aren't as interested in their mods. Take Integration as a prime example how lack of positive reinforment can cut short the development due to total desinterest of the community - at the point where I went over the 100h playing time mark I had around four people playing the mod. Release something of questionable content and you easily have a thousand time more people playing your mod.

And, sorry for ranting, as written in similar discussions before, quest mods are made to be played by others. Playing your own quest mods ist kind of boring, because you KNOW everything.

I don't have a problem with nudity but if it is allowed, this site would soon deteriorate.

I do not think the problem lies with nudity or mature or adult content by itself, but with the "immaturity" it is delivered very often. Take for example the "The Witcher" sex cards vs. the "special map" buyable in Gothic 1. One was fitting, the other one? Ugh. Something the game itself (outside of a marketing view) really didn't need, and was just a visible cry for attention to get more buyers otherwise uninterested in the game.

[DarkRider]

Good to see you back in one piece!

quest mods are made to be played by others. Playing your own quest mods ist kind of boring, because you KNOW everything.

Agreed, and playing your own quest mod repeatedly while debugging is even more boring.

[RedDragonDreamer]

I actually like the realism that the sexualised creatures mod gives, but, I'm a big fan of realistic type immersion mods.

I like coming here because of the friendlyness and nice members.

[HeyYou]

I am not yet using a body mod. Though it was one of the first types of mods I installed for morrowind. (but those bodies were fugly.....) I don't need nudity in my game, and quite frankly, don't really want it. That isn't what I play for. Most of what I use are "gameplay" altering mods. More "realism" for the game mechanics. (that, and getting rid of the awful level scaling.) There are mods in there that add quests, but, wasn't really their main focus. I also have mods that "add on" to aspects of some guilds/questlines.

Some mods, I don't use simply because of dependency's on other mods, that change aspects of the game in ways that I do not agree with. Ah well. Guess my gaming philosophy just isn't universal.

At the days end, the atmosphere here is so pleasant, simply becuase of our members, and the vision that DR had when first setting this place up. The vision has to come first, and a large amount of work put into getting that vision going, but then, it is the members that bring it life. We have a great crowd here, with an excellent staff (not blowing my own horn here, I am referring to the REST of the staff....), and I am very much looking forward to our continuing relationship.

Thank you to everyone that has made TES Alliance a living, viable, site.
