I've been considering it for a couple months, but I'm gonna pull the trigger on this one right now.
 
Apparently in all the various quests that have sex-differentiated reactions to you, the characters still call you man/woman as before lol.

So the little bit of "body type" nonsense is undercut even by the game itself, totally meaningless... not unlike the way the clown costume of these types is undercut by their bathroom mirror each morning.

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.

If the demand is there people will seek it out, a simple Google search should be enough to surface a Reddit or forum post discussing ways to mod male and female options back into the game.

Actually let me follow my own advice…..

Ohh here's some dude who did it and uploaded it to itch.



Maybe it will get removed…. Who knows but if it's important then you just keep playing the cat and mouse game until you get what you want.

Even the label "body type" is nonsense--it's not just your body, it's your objective sex, there is no other. Having "body type" label still implies you might have some other sex/gender type in your brain.

fortunately he already fixed that:

Yeah good point it's honestly very minor compared to the more actual crazy shits like Veilguard/Dustborn etc. Just choose the body that looks like a male if you're making a male character and vice versa for a female character.

Now obviously it was pointless to put body type 1 and 2 in the first place when they could have just put male and female but don't let this small thing ruin the great and wonderful experience you're going to get with hundreds of hours of eventual fun this game has to offer. It's definitely worth the money and not even for full price, it's already way more fun than all other AAA games since 2015.

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.

That's why it's been great that the UK supreme court has made a ruling on it.

All the institutions are now scrambling to fall into place.

As Dawkins says the science for this was settled over 540 million years ago with biological differences on sex, with the xy chromosomes about 180 or so million years ago.

It's a fascinating subject - genetics that is. Mammals and birds are permanently locked in on sex and can't change. Fish with their zw or xy systems like clownfish it goupies can. And if you really want to know about crazy look up platypus chromosomes.

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.

I totally agree. It seems like everyone has become so reliant on one thing, that they're all lost without it.

A post of mine from a previous thread that is still relevant:

The funny part of the A/B thing is it is so often nothing more than a text swap that only affects the initial choice and the character stats screen.

When I did a quick Google for the comic I referenced earlier ITT all I found was complaint posts on trans reddits because it doesn't make a difference. The example I remember is Elden Ring, where someone chose body type A and the very next cutscene said "We found him".

Really the A/B thing isn't fooling anyone that's for or against this stuff and the only reason devs do it is because it is extremely low effort, so dropping it would simply be more honest.

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.

Who cares ? Male, Female, Body 1 or 2 this woke/anti woke retards are tiresome, enjoy the fucking games this ll literaly change nothing.

This is something I see a lot but makes no sense. This can't be simultaneously important enough for every game to put it in and for people to defend it and so unimportant that it changes nothing. I get the tactic. Has been done several times in history when art especially has been gradually changed, quite often in a more conservative direction, and the response is who cares its just a painting.
 
I get not caring, but being annoyed isn't grifting, and it just boiling frog nonsense because there are people pushing for more than A & B.

Banning a mod that simply changes the options is also silly, hurts no one else's single player experience that want to keep it.
 
Nexusmods, Reddit, Resetera - you give these types of people power, they will abuse it. Everything is power games to them, so they see no problem in power tripping.

Anyone wants to make a mod to change the original game options to Body Type 1 and 2? I bet they don't remove it.

Those culture warriors at Nexus Mods are frickin' unbelievable and so tiresome.
 
Man, if I am ever in the position of being able to change the gender identifier in a game, I will just call it "penis" and "no penis" and watch Twitter et al. implode.
 
Since it still uses esp files to override the underlying data, anyone with any vague experience of the ES modding game will know how to change the values locally and build their own plugin.

Wake me up when Schlongs of Oblivion arrives.

Nexus mods is a privately owned site, so they are free to do what they want. Even if what they want is completely stupid though.
 
I don't think Nexus Mods so far has ever removed a single mod I would have bothered using, but man if it doesn't annoy me that these clowns have the pretense to be the moral judges of what is and isn't supposed to be appropriate to mod.
With very questionable guidelines, too.

Somehow, the AI mod that replaced the narrator in BG3 with a male variant has been banned because of "misogyny" while the "giant futa cock for Karlach" is still one click away on their portal.

For what is worth these self-righteous pricks are the same scammers that barely few years back promised "unlimited, lifetime access to their premium service" with a single "una tantum" donation )so you had to pay once and you were good), only to change their mind few months later with a surprise "Just kidding, what you got for your money was just few months of premium".
 
Lol, glad i unsubbed from nexus mods a while ago. Pathetic with their moderation. Hopefully a new mod site with more reasonable moderation surpasses them.

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

Yeah, we Germans have gendered articles but have no idea how to translate sex and gender differently, because there was no difference before. We also use now Gender for this nonsense which did not exist as a word before.
 
I am still salty they removed the mod of Spiderman 2, that game is OBNOXIOUS in gay and trans pride flags. Still sony and bethesda are more at fault.
 
It's so tiresome. I'm just fatigued seeing this nonsense in games. It's clownish and abominable.

Imagine hating women so much you have to replace the word "female" with a letter or a number so you don't get uncomfortable.

But I figured that nonsense was going to be in there. The new low? Replacing "race" with "identity." Identity.

I "identify" as a bipedal cat-person. I "identify" as a water-breathing lizard. To the flaming abyss with this rot, seriously. Do not pass "go."
 
There's a ball of shit in the stew? Well how big is it? I'm famished after all... I know a lot of us are just trying to eat around it, but idk...

Wild of them to cosign transracialism though. Last time I stuck my head in that tent it was still considered bad form. Dolezalian even.

But PeteBull PeteBull told me this game wasnt woke thats why it had so many players CCU on steam.

Why would there be a need to mod pronouns into the game if it wasnt a woke game?

Which is why shadow dropping this was a stroke of genius. Everyone caught the hype wave and bought it before the bodies could be unearthed. This is the work of kids fresh out of 2 year game dev colleges. Not Bethesda Softworks. A couple lengthy trailers and other prerelease media would have revealed this.

Marketing strategy master class. Seriously impressive in that regard. Someone as Bethesda or Microsoft did their homework, took a gameble and won big. I expect other publishers to try and smuggle shit into our accounts via similar means in the future.
 
normally this shit annoys me as well but tbh it was one thing in the character creator and then your done and into the game but i agree this shit should be put into the past and we should be going back to MAN/WOMAN and then you can put a fucking beard on a woman's body if you so please... just don't show me pronouns are your game is going into the sea
 
Maybe the worst offense I've seen so far is losing all the visual themes. You could look at a screenshot of any part of a forest and know you're looking at TES:IV. Now a HUDless screenshot could be any number of games. Avowed, Immortals, hell Atomic Heart even. It just gives "Unreal Forest" now.
 
Those personality hairs sure stuck it to those 8 people who were gonna download a harmless mod for a game on an open platform.

Take that, you literal Hitlers :messenger_tears_of_joy: :messenger_tears_of_joy: .

I've been looking at getting this, the game is dirt cheap at the moment, has a friend pass for seamless co-op, and the combat looks decent in their 2.0 trailer. Me and the lads loved Elden ring PC Seamless co-op, took the game from 8/10 to a 10/10 for me.

anyone recommend?
 
Imagine actually being upset about this. Something that makes zero difference whatsoever. It's not like characters in the game say "hello my dear Body Type 2" right?
 
Pathetic. But considering they were removing mods that made Judy romanceable for male V in CP 2077 but let mods that made Panam romanceable for female V stay, this isn't particulary surprising.

The only thing even more pathetic are the people defending this.

Make a more inclusive mod which replaces all mentions of "man" with Type A and "woman" with Type B from the script.
See if the bigots at Modnexus remove it.
