This modding subforum was added recently in SR4L by our kind hosts, in order to serve those members here interested in modding.
We hope it will grow and maybe it will be helpfull for those able or interested in taking up modding.
Mainly it is a place where you can publish your work and progress through it.
Also it is a place to help others, providing them with usefull links and best of all with tutorials on importand stages of modding work.
This is not a place for showing non members work and projects, except where it is needed in a discussion as an example.
Furthermore we would like to keep this place legal.
There is much talk in the community about legality or lack of it in modding.
Lets keep it simple.
Mods should not be converted without the express permission of their original creators.
Commercial mods i.e. mods that were offered inside/through a certain Sim, should not be used in other sims.
Even if they were offered by the company for free conversions, surely they were not meant to be used in other games.
Freeware mods are a different case, they can be converted and used everywhere, only though with the expressive permission of their original creators.
This is not about legality, it is about ethics and we want our community here to be above all an ethical community.
Threads with work submitted against the above rules will be closed if author does not comply with them, or give proof of permission to convert a certain project, and links will be removed.
Since all above were not announced till now, we will give some days while posters can object or prove the legality of the conversions or remove their posts or links.
After some days action will be taken.
Please guys, take the hard way, make everything from scratch, it is more fun this way
