Yeah, I'm getting pretty sick of them removing mods like this. I downloaded it while it was still available as I knew they'd remove it.

Because just like everything, you give them an inch and they take a mile. That's why we we got to the point where people can't even define what a woman is because it's politically incorrect.

Tag, you're it.
I'm against those type of change (and fuck Nexus mod btw) and I can't help but roll my eyes at these "body type" selections, but it's the ONLY thing you could call "woke" in this Remaster so...
After 5 seconds of playing, you will forget all about it and have an amazing time. Anyone boycotting the game for this is stupid in my book.

Hey, I recall they were saying this a few years ago and it surreptitiously crept up into every facet of society, including games, but don't let reality fool you.

True this is just a small thing that I'll easily overlook since I'm a huge Elder Scroll and Fallout fan. But I get where OP is coming from too because just like people can say why is he bothered by it than the same can be said for why it's changed from female and male in the first place. And even more so is why would the mods on Nexus care enough to remove a harmless mod like this in the first place.I'm against those type of change (and fuck Nexus mod btw) and I can't help but roll my eyes at these "body type" selections, but it's the ONLY thing you could call "woke" in this Remaster so...

Yeah I totally agree, as long as it doesn't goes any further than that I can go beyond it (especially for an amazing game like Oblivion!). I still think it's stupid, but oh well
The mod team is shit. That's why. It's not the first time they're doing something like that but since it's the biggest modding platform they just don't care for the outrage.
Fuck them.

Obviously Nexus Mods seems to care, if they didn't care why would they take it down?

When did mods all get hosted in one place? I haven't really done modding in about 20 years, but it wasn't like this. Do you have to pay for them? Not even sure how it works now.

What a groundbreaking and useful take. Truly a work of genius.
It's the biggest mod site on the web and it's free. There is a premiun paid tier that gives you perks like faster downloads.

In Dutch, "gender" didn't even exist until the americans invented it.

It's not like the we invented the concept of gender we just made it trendy with buzzwords and TikTok debates.

Because it's marxist propaganda. Some of the tactics that these modern wannabe commies utilize are lifted straight from Mao Zedong's Great Leap Forward.
"Yet, as it had been in the past, the CCP's support of women's emancipation during the Cultural Revolution was used primarily for the purpose of advancing Communist Revolution as opposed to rectifying inequality itself. Cultural Revolution slogans such as "Now the times have changed. Men and women are the same" were cried out, however, any references to the special problems of women were denounced as bourgeois. Once again, women dressed like boys, cut their hair short and scrubbed their faces of makeup. Women were attacked if they looked too feminine, as femininity was deemed a backward element. The art, literature, films, operas, and ballets produced during the Cultural Revolution featured androgynous women proletariat heroes – farmers, workers, militant fighters, and political activists all committed to the collective cause. After having been discouraged from divorcing since 1953, women again initiated divorces in record numbers as they, and at times their husbands, tried to distance themselves from their spouses when they got into political trouble."

Replace body type with horse armor and see where that got us. It's only this minor optional thing, don't worry about it.I'm against those type of change (and fuck Nexus mod btw) and I can't help but roll my eyes at these "body type" selections, but it's the ONLY thing you could call "woke" in this Remaster so...

It's their site and they can run it however they want. If you don't like it go load mods from a site that pride's themselves on being free from censorship.

I know you're being cheeky but that site can't exist because looneys will report the site to website hosting platforms and get them taken down.

The usual who cares? dump post.
They cared enough to remove male and female body types from games and this mod site cared enough to ban the mod.
And yes, I cared to reply to your who cares post.

No I'm absolutely serious, the whole point of gaming on PC is you're on an open platform. If you don't like how someone is running their site use another one.
If you can't find a hosting platform then use torrents? Drop it in a Mega link? I just refuse to believe it's that difficult to find another source to host mods.

And i'm free to critisize them so enough people are aware. And maybe this way less people will use the offending site, which in turn can potentially make it easier for a new site to emerge that's succesful and competitive enough, which in turn can make it easier to find these mods instead of trying to find them in random links that don't last long enough.

The one time I tried to befriend a MTF
made me not want to interact with them ever again despite me saying my best friend transitioned, my co worker did and how I was supportive when the entire IT team lost their shit and even had a manager who was trans at one point and how I just don't really care: this was called a "dog whistle" and caused me so many issues at work that made me feel so bad I decided that outside of my friend who transitioned being cordial and walking away is probably for the best.

Nexus mods is run by some resetera type people so it's hardly surprising.
Sadly they are the biggest mod site so they are hard to avoid.
Exactly, who cares? So why remove the mod? If you don't like it don't install it.
Nexus is full of mods that add pronouns and pride flags to games. I don't care about those mods but I don't think they should be removed.

While I don't think the Body type nonsense is a big deal, removing this mod is absolute bullshit. Why does everything and everyone have to be so silly?

I noticed this when i was making a character...
I instantly felt unrepresented as my body type doesn't match any of the 2 options. I could at least relate to "male" on a biological level, but i can't relate to any of these 2 body types.
Where is my belly Bethesda?
What is the key characteristic that separates body type 1 from 2?

Agree. There is no reason for a site like Nexus mods to take sides. Especially when, if you remove a mod like this, you end up publicising it.
After 5 seconds of playing, you will forget all about it and have an amazing time. Anyone boycotting the game for this is stupid in my book.
Agree on this too. Boycotting a super-enjoyable game because of one selection which you will completely forget about during gameplay ? It's stupid. Just like BG3 body types or Starfield pronouns. It is like 2 seconds of annoyance which is forgotten in the next 100 hours of gameplay.

Is that practical from a discoverability perspective ? How is a mod user supposed to scour the internet to find one torrent or Mega link for one mod on some shady ad-infested site ? Most mod users discover mods by browsing Nexus. Yes, moddb and mod.io exist but their selection is next to nothing compared to Nexus (and likely follow the same political guidelines as Nexus). Some big games like GTA or The Sims have their own mod websites; but for something like the Oblivion remaster, no one is going to think to look for mods anywhere other than Nexus.
You "refusing to believe it" doesn't make it false. Can you suggest some alternative mod hosting websites other than the ones i named ?
In an ideal world what you say is true. But when one site has a near-monopoly on something, and they start censoring based on politics, then some harmless content like this mod will end up never getting seen.

This.
That's how corruption and evil always starts cause doing too much at once would make things too obvious and sus so put a bit of that to get people used to it before pushing out more and more. Which eventually causes the most sick and retarded shits to be shoved out aka what you said at the end and similar things. Stuff that shouldn't even be debatable in the first place. Over a decade ago I would have been part of the who cares crowd cause I didn't know any better and things weren't as insane as now.
It's not a big deal if the insane folks keep it to themselves and don't force people to agree with them so if someone prefer to use a mod to change the wording than it should be fine but Nexus removing a mod like this is already kinda forcing it on you as they want you to agree with their insane ways.
Now with that said, I would still easily play a ES or FO game even if they got body types as it's not a big deal for me and they are my favorite franchises plus it's missing out on a great long fun and replayable game but I sure won't have a problem with people not liking these things in either and trashing them either.
Yep just common sense and shouldn't be a debate.
If someone decided to turn mentally retarded and completely insane by thinking they are something else than no problem, just keep that to themselves and don't get mad at sane/normal people for not agreeing with them.

I regret creating my character before the grifters made a big deal about it, I didn't even notice it. Missed a prime chance to be mad about nothing.
