Jazzman Posted December 21, 2018 Posted December 21, 2018 All modders, those few in the Hall of Fame and those many outside, reach a point in time when the personal circumstances call for a fundamental decision - to burn out on side or to fade away. Sooner or later one has to set the own priorities straight. Modders, especially the successful, tend to defer it to the Greek Calends, I remember me and still know why. However, as a modder that has retired when the average Fallout 4 player of today was still busy with pronouncing their very first words I can tell you that retirement, next to the usual downside of becoming history, a fossil of the past, the modding Stone Age that doesn't impress anymore, has a huge upside. For the very first time since long the former modder is able just to enjoy a game and today mods, and all this w/o complaining about the flaws that come with it, knowing that the own projects had more loose ends than the orange Dotard still has own hair on his head. I'm happy as it is, there's nothing to regret. No more anger and frustration, no permanent pressure, just fun in game, a lot of fun and endorsements given to everybody that has created something. Being one with yourself and the objects of interest, that's not bad. Yep! Good luck and much fun in the times ahead! And Merry Xmas to all y'all ?
t.ara Posted December 21, 2018 Posted December 21, 2018 Things like this can happen, but like I know from smokers to stop smoking, they are beginning again to smoke, quite in time: weekly. Maybe this return happens also with you! I guess you stay as a stuff-member and you want to answer to my stupid questions also in future. If you return, we could maybe do something together;-): Skyrim is the best game to create mods into (best graphics-best music-best athmosphere ingame, ...). Best wishes and a nice christmas and a happy new year. If you get completely lost, this would be a terrible cut for LoversLab.
Azzhat Posted December 21, 2018 Posted December 21, 2018 While admittedly not too familiar with your work, it's always sad to see a creator cease what they do. Best of luck in whatever you decide to focus on doing.

I may maintain my mods for the dozen games I modded but I think I will not do new mods for these games. If I will find a new game wort modding I may restart. Thanks for all the support. Post Scriptum: I am NOT leaving LoversLab or stopping to help other people. I will just not do other mods on the games I already modded. That you for all the work you put in here ❤️
goldust Posted December 22, 2018 Posted December 22, 2018 noooooooooooooooo!...dam man love your mods so much..and all the help you gave everyone best of luck in all you do C.P.U.
winny257 Posted December 22, 2018 Posted December 22, 2018 a new incentive was there, unfortunately this was from UbiSoft destroyed!
nehaberlan Posted December 22, 2018 Posted December 22, 2018 My teacher, my tutor, my patient friend... Thanks a lot for everything you've done... I wish you best of all...

Did the dudebros from Sparta make fun of her bouncy tits again? Come to think of it, did Spartans reproduce asexually or am I right in thinking they were born from rocks?
steelpanther24 Posted December 23, 2018 Posted December 23, 2018 I have only used a couple of your mods (fade to black and mini needs), but am more familiar with you from your work here in LL. It is good to see you will remain here and will be available for any who need help in Papyrus programming.
cornbreadtm Posted December 24, 2018 Posted December 24, 2018 Lets hope something like Obsidian's The Outer Worlds can spark a fire under the community like F:NV and Oblivion did. Skyrim was exciting as well but FO:4 was clearly not interesting to a lot content creators. Community seems bigger but a lot less interest in modding with no unifying game makes me sad.

Well, Moore's Law comes at a huge price, let's call it the Axiom or Wall-E syndrome... "Wow, look at that! Computer, where's my free sep-tua-centennial cupcake in a cup?!" A Merry "Whatever Doesn't Offend You" wishes Buy-N-Large™, your very best friend! ?
Glaurung26 Posted December 24, 2018 Posted December 24, 2018 Thank you friend. In particular thank you announcing your retirement. Many modders just fade out of existence without a peep. Some big developers aren't even this transparent with announcements. Appreciate all the work you have done and should in the future you feel like modding new games those projects would be welcome too.

I respect your choice and i wish you a fun time with the games you choose to have a grand time with. Should you ever come back with new stuff do please inform us mate :)
saviliana Posted December 25, 2018 Posted December 25, 2018 This sounds like the end time of the golden age of gaming. Lets hope in the future generation, we could see a worthy game to be modded by you. Farewell, mi lord.
fred200 Posted December 26, 2018 Posted December 26, 2018 CPU, many people create mods. Only very few are competent at what they do. I consider you to be one of the competent ones. You are a good programmer. Best of wishes in your future endeavors - you will be missed.

My apologies beforehand, pls don't ban me... Someone will fill the void you leave as if you never left and everything will remain the same. See it happen all the time on the Nexus. Chesko stopped for a while, someone else came in. Elianora stopped for a while, someone else came in. God forbid if I ever stop modding...
landess Posted December 26, 2018 Posted December 26, 2018 Thanks for all your work CPU, but this is like getting coal in my Xmas stocking. At least I can set it on fire and keep warm......

nufndash Posted December 26, 2018 Posted December 26, 2018 Wait, wait you forgot something.....yea I think you forgot something. Ummm just give me a minute to think of it. Yea just hang out for a bit and I will try to find it. While you are waiting, maybe check out some of the mods that really need your help. Ok I will be back in just a minute. Didn't work did it? Anyway, thank you for all your help and hard work, you will be missed more than you can ever imagine.

However, there is always a lag before someone competent comes in to take up the reins (just look at wonderful mods like [CK2] House Irae and Dickplomancy Reloaded for Mount and Blade) and that is what we lose, those of us who have to go through the gap.
Darkpig Posted December 27, 2018 Posted December 27, 2018 welp JK. Either way people will keep modding with or without you. That said people appreciate what you have done. Me? I'm still high as fuck right now.
coldloc Posted February 16, 2019 Posted February 16, 2019 cpu is really a very nice helper , I would thank a million to this legendary papyrus master and the books and online publications written by him . ?
