The easier is to create a mod, the more noobs start to make them. Why, do you think, there are a humongous amount of almost useless cheat mods? Because there are tools like ETS2 Studio which makes their creation very simple. Yes, maybe it makes life easier for some good modders, but it also makes it easier for noobs. I bet most of noobs would never create a single mod without such tool!
Properly doesn't mean perfect. You should just maintain a good level of quality. Yes, the mods are free, but there are, however, many mods which have the same or even better quality than the game itself (like ohaha's trucks, for example; like grimes's weather mods). Modders owe nothing to the users, but it's not about being owed. It's about enthusiasm/devotion/passion. It's about reputation. It's about respecting yourself and the others. You should make your mods like you want them to be in general. You're making them because it's your hobby and you like it.
Of course you have a finite lifespan and free time, but you should aim for the best you can afford. That's how all in your life should be done!
But someone have to tell them about compression finally or the learning will stop here. They will not ask themselves about things they already have been told not to do. The amount of uncompressed mods tells people either all using the same tool which doesn't compress mods or they just don't know that compression is allowed.Cadde wrote:Please, be considerate. There's NOTHING wrong with telling people to NOT compress mods while they are in the process of learning.
