I just love that sense of entitlement that you have. SCS
IS NOT AND WILL NEVER BE RESPONSIBLE for community created content. Plain and simple. The very large and wide majority of players never use mods. I have read your recent postings and they seem to do nothing but trash SCS and throw them under the bus at every opportunity. This is not an attack against you. Just a simple fact from your postings.
I don't agree with this. As much as SCS embraces the use of mods (steam workshop, allowing mods in multiplayer servers, etc.), the fact that people still think SCS
should not care about modded content (what you are insinuating) is an old, outdated take that
doesn't make any sense. SCS should be
HELPING mod creators through issues like this to alleviate the amount of work they have to do every time an update is released. I don't think I'm asking for much. However whenever mod creators ask for a bit of help like this, it seems to fall on the deaf ears of community members who think they themselves make the decisions for SCS. The result of that is issues are swept under the rug and modders and mod enjoyers are left in the dust.
Literally no one is asking for SCS to be responsible for community created content, as they shouldn't, only asking for them to listen to creators and help them when bugs like this pop up. Again, this is such as simple issue (its not like this is a sound mod or truck mod, its literally paint on the outside of a truck) that could be resolved by either making the part be non-skinnable (I don't see why it needs to be in the first place) or at least giving us some options to work with so old skins are not "ruined" update after update.
Personally I think this is a simple mistake that got through (it is a beta after all) that I don't think they intentionally made to be this way. However, as you can see by the replies to this thread, the community likes to speak for SCS which in turn buried the opportunity for SCS to even look at this report and they probably wont even acknowledge this issue thanks to that.
With that being said I
hope that one of the
devs can provide some insight on a decision one way or the other, because there is no point arguing with community members who only see the issue from one side.
