You say that you understand the mind of the modder, but the rest of your post indicates that you do not.

Most modders start out as regular players who either see something they thing could be better or have an idea they would like to see implemented. They know nothing of how things work, but they go at it and they learn how to do the things they want done.

This means that they make the mods they want, not the ones we want. Some of them just like to mod, and do offer to try to do what people request, but the only criterion is their own desire to do something that appeals to them.

This also means that criticizing the lack of diversity you think you see might make them less responsive, not more. The best reply I can think of is, why don't you decide what you want to see done and start learning how to do it, instead of insisting that creative people do things your way?

If your not willing to fix compatability problems on your own then how can you blame the modders for not doing it? When i started adding Mods to SH4 i saw things i liked in several mods so i asked questions and worked out the issues myself instead of asking modders to do it for me. Why should they be bothered to make the game the way i wanted it when they have already worked so hard to create their version and freely make it available to all of us?

Basicly, if you want things to work together that were not designed to then its up to you to make it yourself. This is a great community here at subsim and most modders will offer advice and help if asked. However being confrontational about how YOU think things should be will get you nowhere around here.
