If you're talking about Skyrim, for SSE you won't notice any real difference at all between open and closed cities. The 64 bit engine provides all of the memory you'll need, and they'll even work on XB1 if you can manage to get the over all download size of the mod to fit within their space restrictions. For LE, you'll need the SKSE memory patch active. Once that's in place you should be fine. Original Skyrim's memory allocation system was designed to work on PS3 and was never properly adjusted for either the 360 or PC for whatever reason. On Oblivion, it's always been urban myth that open cities of any sort cause problems with performance. Usually people are either bumping up uGridstoLoad (bad idea, performance fail all over the game) or overtaxing the engine by trying to use 2K textures on everything. The mod has always been a scapegoat for problems it's not responsible for. I honestly have no idea why I kept at it, but I did

Yep, seems to be working fine now. Thanks.

Any chance we could get the ability to delete files from the download area?

We were in the process of a domain registrar shift. Usually those go pretty smoothly when the IP isn't changing but we also had to change the nameserver records and that's probably caused a brief dropout while the data is propagated around the internet.

See, I never understood that. It was always TES Nexus. Not just Oblivion Nexus. Which one got top listing on the front page shouldn't have mattered that much.

There's a certain terrible irony in the fact that a lot of MW modders hated Nexus for some reason, but they're still here and those sites all died - taking the mods with them in most cases. Like Nexus or don't, but they're stable and increasingly unlikely to just disappear one day, though certainly not impossible. Anyway, the Morrowind Modding History site likely has many things people once thought lost.

Took some digging, but it turns out they are in fact still offering all of the official patches: http://patches.bethsoft.com/ Personally I always forget which ones should be getting used for MW so I'm pretty happy to have that handled with the GoG installer now.

That statement of his really seems like it's more focused on his disappointment with the specific author pulling something from distribution than anything else, but it's not ultimately important. He had already been making plenty of noise about being unhappy and wanting to retire from modding before that post came to be. Old stuff on the forums that has long since been purged by Bethesda.

"Patch For Purists"? Oh boy. Morrowind modding, never change. Never understood why people get so upset about fixing bugs.

That could be, but someone obviously backported BAIN at some point and I'm quite happy they did.

Eh, I wouldn't say that parlor modders drove him away. It seemed like he just wanted out by the time he made that decision. The push he was going for was well underway when I joined the scene and after he realized the community wasn't willing to go that route he respectfully left it alone. That's why I refer to how he handled this issue whenever it comes up. He knew when to stop pushing because doing so just alienates people. I was a nobody in 2008. He had no reason to care what I thought, but he still did. I don't know anything about firearms so I'll leave the gunsmithing to you

Not really wanting to get into a big debate over this, but the modding community has never been this bastion of cathedral modding supporters that people want to say it was. That's part of why Wrye tried to argue to get things changed. When he realized it wasn't in the cards he at least backed away and let it alone. What gets me isn't so much that some people want things to go toward cathedral modding, it's that they do so in an overly aggressive and entitled manner as though they're owed mods being distributed that way. It's a matter of individual choice and all I personally ever ask for is that my choice to remain in the "parlor" camp be respected as is my right. It's when people try to take that away that us parlor modders are forced to engage the issue.

Good, that's progress at least. Hopefully the stuff that remains is legit. What they really need is a way to go to the website and view what's available via the network so that one does not have to install their client just to find that out.

They have performed concrete actions in the present and that's what you guys are willfully ignoring. If it's considered abusive to point this out then you can go ahead and delete my files and ban me from the site for daring to point out facts in an argument about a factual issue.

If calling you out for ignoring the evidence and saying you're waiting to give them a chance is somehow twisting your words, well, maybe you should choose different words so your meaning is clear. Otherwise you need to stop attempting to deflect the argument with bullshit.
