Because not all mods share the same vision, or perception on how things should be. We (modders) help each other out, to help each other acheive our end goals, but our end goals are not always the same. And for this, i think our mod community in SH4, is worthy of the highest praise. But Yes there is overlap, but the end "vision" of the game is often different. For this reason, people have choices of what sort of game they want to play.
SInce comparisons to SH3 are unavoidable, while you don't see it today, the very same thing existed before in SH3. There are acutally two super mods for SH3. NYGM and GWX. (and before them, a whole lot of smaller mods) You dont see much of NYGM anymore because the modders responsible for it moved on to other things. With no technical support, or ad campaign, it fades from memory. GWX stayed on, provides support, and is always advertising itself, so now its all you see.
SH4 will eventually turn out the same way i suspect. Today you have RFB, TM, and RSRD . I am eventualy going to be moving on, and TM will stop being supported. I hope someone picks it up, but i honestly doubt anyone will. RFB will probably gather steam and continue to refine the game, long after i've thrown in the towel. So in the future, RFB and RSRD is probably all you'll see, and this topic will be rather moot. :rotfl:
