i think its wrong for people to base their opinion of sh5 with mods added to it if you are discussing the condition of the game as released.
i say this because anyone who is using the modders work to help form their opinion of sh5 is giving ubi undo credit for the modders work which improved the game.
IMO you are giving ubi and sh5 the praise they do not deserve for the hard work put in by the modders to create a better game
ubi and sh5 should only be judged for what sh5 is without any mods added when you are talking about the game as built.
now when you are discussing the games playability or enjoyment factor is the only time mods should be part of the opinion because you are no longer talking about the state it was released in.

indeed quite true Webster
the other shenanigan is that in time raw unfinished SH5 will get heavily modded if modders keep enough interest on the game and if no major show-stop appears.
Then SH5 would come back to surface and players start buying the game... But who will win won't be Subsim modders but the company that produced this SH5 abortion.
Beside I think that is time to appear mods pay-for-use than current use-for-free... this only benefit modders. This can be seen in other games and is a good incentive to keep things in perspective from both sides... those who spend time creating mods and those that just grab them for free.
If that would happen in SUBSIM it is a totally different story but... things are changing towards this way... and to be fair if I pay for mods in other games I really wouldn't mind paying mods for this game either. That is win-win situation the modder wins and the player wins coz didn't have the trouble creating something.
edit: even if isn't for modders own wallet... that money could go either to support the community or for a charity like some that I know already do on other games.
