MODERATORS
So some gamers don't like the modmaker because his mods modify the game. Do I understand correctly?
Obligatory “read the article” etc. These unofficial patches get flak because some of them include “features” that are the modders preference. The point of unofficial patches is to fix bugs/glitches while remaining essentially vanilla or at least that’s why people want them. Worth noting that mod devs have been grilled for it before.
Also, Arthmoor is a cunt and people generally dislike him for how IP-protective he is over his mods, including these garbage patches
I didn't even read the article I'm just familiar with this exact bullshit, Nexus users made a big push like 3 years ago of dumping his ass, basically anything his mods do are done better elsewhere by people who support Cathedral style modding
Is he the one that gets pissed if a secondary mod changes anything in his mod?
yep
No. Because his mods say they do one thing, and do more than one thing.
Also: Arthmoor is famously a massive dickwad in the community, and a few years back there was a converted effort to replace his mods with better-made mods under the cathedral theory of modding (that were all working together to build a cathedral, and thus taking your ball and going home because x/y/z doesn't happen)
When your mod is big-fix mod people expect that it won't modify the gameplay, yes that's one of the reasons, also his 'licence' disallows people from using anything but latest version of the mods which only support latest version of the game, also he is a dick.
In very reductive terms, yes. If you care about some of the nuances though, people don't like that changes are being made outside of the "scope" of the mod, like a bug-fix patch being used to balance the game or change the lore.
His unofficial patch mod is a hard requirement for other mods on Skyrim, and his changes while mostly just bug fixes but also gameplay changes based on his view on how the game should be played, and you can't just turn off the changes you don't need, and it'll be the same for OBE but I hope mod authors don't includes his mod as a requirement after the Skyrim mess. PS: he's also a massive cunt
So overall, it is a good and useful patch that doesn't have alternatives?
There's alternatives but he reported them to get it removed
Because of the clout he has on Nexus, he makes sure there are no alternatives. His way is the only way, and he'll do what he can to enforce that. And he's so argumentative that he even got himself permabanned on the skyrimmods subreddit.
Read the article.
