skyrim being bad without mods is entirely subjective. you can stomp your feet and cry about it but that won't make it true.

and enla as for those points you presented

1) that's the entire point of a "curated" system. this would provide them with a degree of control

2) fortunately in the curated system i drew the inspiration from this from, there exists a degree of community moderation as well. while there are copyrighted or otherwise stolen mods uploaded from time to time, the community is able to report them for this which results in them being taken down.

3) i feel as those are standards square enix should adopt
