Mods and cheat engine

[ForteNightshade]

@ OP

I agree, cheats and mods should not be allowed in this game, I know they can replace entire bodies with NSFW models, to say the least.

How does it affect me?. They can make my characters naked, and every other character at that; They can attach excessively large dongs to female characters and even though I wouldn't see it inside my game I know other players using such mods will be seeing what they shouldn't.

Besides that, allowing mods in this game might give the developers an excuse to "not upgrade the graphics", since others are doing half-as*ed jobs with their custom models.

Finally, on the business side, by allowing mods SE is letting players use paid optional items like Korean outfits without buying them, they just swap files and done.

I will welcome anything SE can do to avoid mods and cheating.

I'll let you in on a little secret. SE is perfectly content doing absolutely nothing about mods because that community comprises well over 80,000 members in just one discord; of which their are several more with thousands of members. Banning mods would mean a good amount of these players quit the game entirely, thereby losing SE significantly more than even Mogstation purchases could recoup. Nevermind that banning mods means requiring users to have DRM installed so they could actually see what programs we have. This would inevitably break tools like ACT. So that 80,000 number just keeps getting larger.

Even if we just assume 40,000 people who mod and/or use ACT all quit due to both programs being permanently broken. That's an estimated $520,000 monthly thrown away for literally nothing. And that is a very generously small assessment considering how popular ACT and mods are nowadays. You, for example, aren't quitting the game because other players may have mods installed. Therefore, they aren't losing your sub, regardless. Hence why SE has, and will continue, to do nothing about these programs so long as they aren't directly used to harass others.
