General Poll: Would you like...
Hello Everyone!
Yes, everyone ;-) This poll is for everyone that would be willing to give their opinion on the matter. This doesn't necessarily relate to just SimRealist but mods in general.
Would you be interested in a program/tool that allows you to auto-download or queue mod updates from various creators into one download? That would mean that you wouldn't have to go to multiple websites to get updated mods, it would actually be in one central location and then it would either queue to download later with your input or just auto-download.
If you have further comments on the matter, just comment below. I should note though, that this doesn't actually mean that this program/tool would happen for sure if a lot of people were interested. I'm just seeing if there is interest in the subject before I pursue this matter.
Thanks so much in advance for your input!
Much Love,
Nichole

when is it going to be out forever
The mod program? No ETA on it since I would need to check with a lot of different parties to get this started and I would need to find a way to get this funded outside of a subscription to keep it free if that ends up being the popular vote.
I most definitely am interested this would love it to be free. I know and understand that modders and CC creators need to make money too, but some of us are just broke bitches XD and tbh I support when I can but I just can't always be shelling out my bucks for everyone's content. I miss the days when ppl just made things cuz they just loved too. Hell that's what I do! And I don't charge ;)
I wish I could send out our content for free at every moment but I’m not the one coding. We send the money to our team members to do what they do. Like right now our mods have to be funded by both patronage and my wallet in order for content to be delivered. We do not profit from what is given to us currently. If I can find a way to make all free I will.
I don’t believe so as far as I can tell. It is pretty much whatever the creator would like to do. As a user, is this something that would help you? And if yes, how so? I have my ideas of how but want to get your impressions. Thanks for your comments!
Yes, standards would help me out greatly! And you guys too really I think, because it would do a lot of things really. Actually if you want to look at my page cause I am Thinking about starting this and have the whole reason for asking this up there. And if you want to PM me feel free maybe we can collaborate. :)
Good idea, but a mod or program which is really needed by everyone would be one which specify or exactly name the mods which causes LEs
I might be wrong on this but I think TURBODRIVER is looking into making something like this. But great suggestion!
I just don't trust the accuracy of such a program and feel that it might cause more harm than good.
Are you talking about the creator controlled mod updates or the download process which is ultimately user controlled? The user would have to make sure it is put in the mod folder to keep from having old mod files in place. However, I may try to find a way to simplify that process as well later. This is mostly to reduce the amount of places to look for updates and to make sure users always have the updated mods of the creators they follow and not use expired ones or versions not compatible with the game.
Awesome idea, it would definitely be worth a try.
Yes, then I would not mind paying a few for an all in one tool!
OK, I will add that to my notes. Thanks for your comments!
Not a horrible idea, but I wouldn't be interested in something like that. I would rather go straight to the creator where I can read update notes and general.chatter from the community about the update. It is a good idea, just not for someone like me.
If it is possible to include those notes and the ability to comment on the update within the program, would it be a viable option for you?
