SFW modding should be officially allowed.

Yeah! And i should be allowed to modify the Mona Lisa! I mean...i paid the entrance fee to see the painting, that should give me the right to do whatever i want with it!

You don't temper with the original items when modding you know.... That's why it's only client side. It would be like if you pay entrance to see Mona Lisa, take a picture of it, edit it on photoshop, then publish it on internet.

I don't really know how Bethesda deal with their mods, but IF the devs decides to allow mods officially, perhaps it could take an example of two from Bethesda (not about paid mods though).

Maybe there's better examples, I dunno.
