bad mods and rips have also their place in the modding community... for your information, there are loads of people that instead of driving prefer fixing broken or bad mods. It is also a kind "game" for them.
this is not theft, and besides, credits to the original authors are almost always given, so everyone knows where the original mod came from.
At the end after a few tries, eventually, you as end user, will get what you are looking for: "a decent quality mod"
Just to give you another perspective to the whole thing, with an example:
- I take a Javelin from gt legends and convert it to AC.
- that conversion works fine in AC, but the physics is bad
...now according to what you are saying, from that moment onward, no one is aloud to make that car drive and look better until I give him a permission ?!?
I agree that asking for permission and to notify the original author is a polite and nice thing to do, but there are cases where the original author/converter doesn't bother to respond, or he just left the scene...
It just happened to me with a series of vintage american muscle cars I am having fun with, by rebuilding the physics and adding details that I like to the 3D models; but the original author/converter (smallblockhero) doesn't respond to my request.
I shall wait another week or so, but eventually I will release the mod if I get no response, with all the credits addressed to him.
Does that make me a thief ?!?
I don't want to make you forcefully change your mind, but just consider that situation, and take in account that a modding community enjoys more modding instead of driving... A gamers community on the other side, is a different story.
So please think twice before you report someone somewhere.
Cheers, and make at least a skin to share with all of us, if you already haven't, so that way maybe you will get a little bit closer to what modding and a modding community is all about
