I don’t mean to get into an argument,
and I don’t plan on taking sides either,
but I think it’s best not to forget that this is a MOD community. lol
From a business perspective, judging by other companies, there’s no doubt that MODs have an impact.
Though I suppose it depends on the quality, too.

[fogado]

I'm not even sure why quitting the game because of mods is even being debated. Regardless of how one say they feel, everyone here cares about mods, otherwise they wouldn't even be here.

 

I myself would quit because I'm not super fond of the current state of the game. But I like the combat, and I like modding characters to match my preferences in women and see them kicking ass. 

A good chunk of the reason I chose PC over console IS modding, so ofc having them taken from me will greatly diminish my enjoyment of any game. If losing access to mods is of little consequence to you, cool, but then I'm not sure why you're even in a place fully meant to discuss modding. 

And no, I'm not doomposting, I have hope that the bigwigs will figure things out and allow modding to continue. But the way the update before last broke the mods, and now this update not only broke precisely what was being used to solve the previous problem, but also made engine.ini unmodifiable, does raise my eyebrow.

Oh i never said modding community doesnt have an impact. I actively said it earlier, mods in games are what keep the community live and active (example GTA V). I just said its not as big of a community compared to the playerbase as a whole. Games like GTA V thrives off of mods, but you can hardly say that about any other game. Yeah mods make the game more enjoyable and prolong its relevance, but as a community as a whole, its pretty small. As a business, though, you really wouldnt want mods at all because you want to attract as many customers as you can to your product and if their first impression of a game is "Is that a naked shorekeeper?" then that would more likely turn away customers. Small sexual themes are a good attractor to a game, but blatant sexual content tends to turn the majority of the populace away from it.

not doompost in the slightest 😂 hey if the mods make the game enjoyable for you, thats your preference and i respect it. you do you boo. I personally still enjoy the game as a whole without mods so Im sticking with it

In games that aren’t originally adult titles, the community of people who seek erotic content through mods is driven by their knowledge of how to install them and their personal interests.
If companies are willing to let these communities coexist without outright rejecting them—or completely banning them—then it’s better for both sides to maintain a mutually beneficial relationship.

I wonder what the point is of shifting the focus of the discussion or making these strange calculations. Haha.

 

Well, for people who play the game while spending money and using mods, there’s no reason to stop arguing that they’ll quit if mods become unavailable.

If anyone has pulled Sigrika and know how to extract hash in game, I'd like to get her Team UI Portrait hash, so I can update my mod.
Thanks.

Conspiracy theories are indeed everywhere. Just a major game update causing most mods to malfunction is being used by other developers to attack KURO, claiming they're going to sanction/ban mods. It's laughable.

If KURO really wanted to ban mods, why are some mods still displaying correctly? This means most mod creators are using older technologies, leading to incompatibility with the newly optimized WUWA. The most obvious example is Phrolova mods. Mods created using newer technologies will have issues with casting Resonance Liberation - Waltz of Forsaken. When using Depths, Phrolova displays correctly in the background. However, mods made with older techniques show a stretched neck.

The reason I say this is that most of my mods don't display correctly, but my Augusta and Chisa mods display correctly "directly." Chisa mods, except at the furthest viewing distance, become invisible, but moving back a little distance restores their display.

[gameBScat]

This is the mod I used for Augusta and Chisa; it displays correctly in the game.

True. This entire debate makes no sense at all.

On the other hand, the guys have had zero progress with their waifus for a full day now... I can't really blame them.

Honestly, I don't know why you're so adamant about defending this. I visit this site almost every day to check up on games I can mod and mods I can download and even then I don't think players are entitled to mod every game. 

 

As for wuwa coexisting with the modding community, forget it no gacha has and will support modding. It hurts the brand and the game's reputation, modders are constantly infringing on character ip and some modders even make money from trademarked characters. For as many good things the modding community has done for the game, the bad it could do is just as numerous, the con may outweigh the pros for the devs. Not to mention possible revenue loss from skin sales why buy skins when cosmetic mods exist?

 

I won't judge the people who don't want to play anymore because Kuro broke mods but I think blaming and hating them for wanting to protect their IP is stupid. And besides its not like they made it impossible to mod the game, people will just have to wait for the fix which may take a while.

 

So in conclusion these debates were utterly useless and just dampened everyone's mood

No. The mods "work", but only when you are zoomed in. This was the case for most recent patches, and the workaround was to change an .ini file to adjust LOD settings. To quote an XXMI dev,

While mods are still loading, the setting in Engine.ini the tool relied on to make the mods work at different distances/LODs has now been blocked for reasons unknown (possibly performance related, or related to the new render distance option). As a result, once the camera moves too far from the model the model will swap to a lower detail (LOD) one and the mod will be unloaded.

The change specific to this update which had not been a problem in any previous update is, Kuro disabled the ability to change the .ini file, so now there is no (simple) way to apply the mods from a large camera distance, which is most of the gameplay. 

Maybe UI mods are not impacted, I don't use them so I don't know. But mods were disrupted to a much more fundamental degree than "new update as usual" which is generally just updating a few hashes.

Well i supported kuro a lot in the past from hoyo shill but seeing how genshin still allows mod after so many years and kuro trying to break mods after getting a good profit for once i feel like kuro is trying to be worse than hoyo in the long run, their greed past coming back lol just like pgr global lauch 

Genshin allows mods?! Remember about a year ago when genshin had that stupid pop up every 5 mins that returns you to the login screen? I quit then so dont know about now. But pretty sure genshin is way more harsh with mods

[knowledge32]

I find it somewhat amusing when people accuse Kuro of maliciously targeting mods. If Kuro really wanted to ban mods, it could have completely blocked them at the technical level instead of leaving a loophole that could be exploited. They could even go so far as to ban mod creators outright—and I’m not joking: if you think Kuro is targeting mod creators maliciously, just look at Mihoyo next door. They’re currently suing mod creators in China en masse, dragging them to court, sending them to prison, and seeking damages—take the well-known creator KanouSakura, for example.

 

Having mods to play is great—I love it—but if Kuro completely bans mods, there’s nothing we mod players can do about it. Loud protests? Don’t make me laugh, man. This thread has spanned 79 pages from start to finish, with 25 posts per page—that’s 18,225 comments. Yet Kuro sparked a massive war of 100,000 comments in a single day on February 14th, simply because Luuk Herssen posted a Valentine’s Day greeting in the community instead of Aemeath doing so on the official Chinese account. Stop spending and quit the game? My most optimistic estimate is that mod players make up 10% of the total player base. To be honest, I don’t think the spending habits of this 10% can match those of the female player base. Even if the male-to-female character ratio in WUWA reaches 5:1, the male character gacha pools are still primarily funded by passionate female players. I’m pessimistic about whether mod players’ spending power alone can sustain a male character gacha pool. Unfortunately, if all female players and all mod players were to leave wuwa, Kuro would certainly find a way to win back the female players rather than the mod players. Moreover, character skins are another area where Kuro can generate revenue—they just haven’t prioritized it yet. If future skin sales and reception are positive, that’s when the end of the road will truly come for mod players.

This content was posted from KanouSakura’s personal account. During the Spring Festival, he received a warning from miHoYo’s legal team. We do not know what agreement he reached with miHoYo’s legal team, but ultimately, he deleted all his mod works and withdrew from the modding community.

He had previously created mods for both miHoYo and Kuro Games, but was ultimately stopped by miHoYo. If you think Kuro is maliciously targeting mod creators, then take a look at what true malice actually looks like. At least Kuro Games hasn’t gone so far as to intimidate mod creators and send them cease-and-desist letters.

There is no evidence to support the claim that KanouSakura was arrested and imprisoned for creating the ZZZ mod.

“By the way, I’m safe and sound, though I may face some compensation. Some ill-intentioned individuals have doctored photos and spread rumors claiming I’ve been arrested. Please don’t believe or spread these rumors.”

“I’ve been a huge fan of Absolute Zero since it launched and have even purchased two full-level characters. Considering that my mods have brought some traffic and new players to the game, I hope you’ll cut me some slack.”

To all friends who have been following this matter and who care about me:

    Regarding the statements I made and my actions in the past, I failed to express myself with sufficient seriousness and sincerity, and did not fully demonstrate a willingness to confront the issues head-on. Today, I wish to offer my deepest apologies and reflect on my actions with the utmost sincerity.

    First and foremost, I would like to extend my most sincere apologies to miHoYo and the *Zero District* development team.
Without permission, I used *Zero District* game assets to create a mod and uploaded it to a public platform. This action constitutes a serious infringement of miHoYo’s legitimate copyright. Regardless of my initial intentions, such conduct—which crosses legal boundaries and infringes upon the legitimate rights and interests of others—is entirely wrong and leaves no room for excuse. Furthermore, the inappropriate statements I made in my previous remarks, in which I attempted to justify my actions, only highlight my lack of responsibility and my dismissive attitude. I feel deeply ashamed and remorseful for this.

    Furthermore, as a player who has always loved *Zero District*, I am fully aware that this work embodies the countless days and nights of hard work and talent from the development team. This love should have been transformed into respect and protection, yet due to my extreme lack of legal awareness and blurred understanding of the boundaries of rights, it ultimately led me in the opposite direction.

    Reflecting on the sequence of events: Initially, relying solely on my technical skills and driven by a fondness for the game’s characters, I created related mods. After seeing them gain some attention, I mistakenly equated them with “player-generated content” out of a sense of complacency, completely failing to realize that such actions constituted copyright infringement and crossed legal boundaries.

    This cognitive bias and misconduct caused significant harm to the developers’ hard work and betrayed everyone’s expectations for compliant creation; I deeply regret this.

    Here, I once again offer my sincere apologies to miHoYo, the *Zero District* development team, and all friends affected by my actions. I am willing to take full responsibility for all consequences resulting from this incident. I will proactively cooperate with the relevant authorities, fulfill my legal obligations and financial liabilities through concrete actions, and do my utmost to rectify my mistakes and mitigate the impact.

    This incident has taught me a lesson I will never forget. In the future, I will diligently study relevant laws and regulations, strengthen my legal awareness and commitment to compliance, strictly regulate my own behavior, never cross such red lines again, and respect the intellectual property rights of others. 

    Once again, I offer my most sincere apologies to all parties affected by my actions. I earnestly ask for the opportunity to reform and start anew, and I welcome everyone’s oversight of my future conduct.

    Finally, I would like to say:

    *Zero Zone* is an outstanding work that embodies the dedication and talent of the development team; its unique art style and exquisite production have always been the reasons for my love for it. I sincerely hope that everyone will continue to follow and support *Zero Zone*, and I look forward to the game bringing even more surprises in the future. Moving forward, I will return to being an ordinary player and, in the proper manner, show my appreciation for the development team’s dedication and hard work.
