In my opinion what has fostered this 'To and from' between the mod and none mod communities is Yoshi and CBU itself.

I've consistently played on PlayStation - I can't mod without bricking my PlayStation. Did I care that other people used mods on PC? No.

The constant tongue in cheek by YoshiP in live letters resulting in "Don't ask don't tell" is wild.

In my eyes it was placed in thr ToS because other users apart from PC would be at a disadvantage when playing content E.G Can I RP without seeing "Mare?" No I can't therefore I am gate kept. Same for individuals who choose not to play with mods.

In my eyes, watching it over the years.. this should have been cracked down on sooner.. we are over a decade into the game and the ToS has not changed.

People can interperate Yoshis stance on mods all they want but unless CBU3, SE and Yoshi crack down and reinforce their ToS ppl will do what they like and this has been proven with this mod.

Shame this has caused such an upset in the community but I can see both sides and it ultimately comes down to Yoshi and his teams mismanagement of the ToS.

This has now come back to bite him in the arse.

Wish I could be empathetic but I really can't.
