Modding Other Games (and Star Rail information) (Patreon)

As most of you know, a few weeks ago, I was going all in on Star Rail as the next game to mod, making a new body, making plans, playing the game. But as many of you know, we started getting ban reports from people using 3DM. At the time, it wasn't confirmed that it was 3DM specifically that was getting them banned, or if it was something else and they also happened to be using 3DM.

As we know now... some users were getting banned for 3DM, and other users for other things!

Frustratingly, not a broad, consistent clear ban - but I guess consistent with the Gacha formula - ban if you roll bad!

The biggest thing that gives us a clear indication that Hoyo has a problem with Star Rail modding, and not so much Genshin is that Star Rail on Game Banana received a bunch of DMCAs, whereas the much larger Genshin modding group, with many more lewd mods did not.

Giving Hoyo some understanding - it's likely they just want to instill a bit of fear in the community with modding - for a few reasons... they're still under the eye of the CCP (as a chinese company), they don't want their SEO to come up with Star Rail mods on the first page, and they don't want people thinking that they're making lewd (or otherwise) content for their games. It's easier for people to realize that art is just fan art, but more difficult for those unfamiliar with the modding space to also realize that mods are a form of fan art (and thus not a endorsement by the company's games).

Whatever the case is... Star Rail mods are still possible, but will probably be unsupported by the SRMI creator SilentNightSound for the forseeable future, and may or may not result in a ban.

Even so, knowing all this... are you guys still interested in Star Rail mods? I was planning a series for Stelle, and had prepared Herta nude marionette (just a blank nude doll body) before all this went down. I think I'd still like to get Seele naked... but now that I'm not playing the game because of the critical injury to modding, less tempted! (Even though I literally went back to spend my remaining Star Jade and pulled Silverwolf! :P)

Setting aside Star Rail, there are definetly other games I want to mod, both games that are released and games that will be coming out. What about the rest of you? Are there any games that you're interested in, and ones you'd play specifically if mods are available for it?

For me, the big one is definetly Street Fighter 6. I'm going to take a bit of a break from Genshin modding for the upcoming banner (Kazuha and Al Haitham) to work on SF6 Chun Li and Cammy. I'm seeing the modding community doing some decent stuff, but I still think I can do better! These two are among my favourite video game ladies of all time!

Another one I'm interested to look back at is Sims 4. It has one of the best sex mods in all of gaming - essentially turnings Sims 4 into a full fledged adult sex simulator. It also has a ton of animations, but the quality of the meshes are a bit sub par IMO! Seems like a good place for me to ply my trade.

I've also heard that FF7RE will be getting a VR mod - I'm big into VR, and the ability to see those beautiful ladies in all their glory in VR while playing an epic scifi fantasy game is extremely tempting! All the better if it's to my spec/design! :D

Let me know in the comments what games you're all interested in playing with mods (that we know is moddable; not all games... like Diablo 4 can be modded right now!)

Of course I'm still focusing on Genshin first and foremost, as I know that's what you all came here for in the first place!
