Seems a curious thing to do splashing this stuff on their website. The only
thing produced so far is an action against the sim community. Hardly seems
the sort of thing to publicise on their brand web site. I'd have considered
it best leave it to the lawyers in the background and make public statements
only if they really have to.

Technically I wouldn't call them mods at all. They were implemented by
papyrus people after all.
The only issue people can't seem to graps is that some values are stored in
a binary file rather than a text "ini" file, and seem to think there's some
special protection against editing binary files.
We'll find out if FIRSTvsMcArther ever goes to court, but I (sadly) suspect
one side may well just bully the other with money and lawyers before it
gets to be heard.
