We understand wanting to download mods in bulk from a torrent, or even better, the skyrim/ directory from the full setup; however, we at STEP are committed to the whole of the modding community. That includes mod hosters, the modders that host with them, and the users of said mods. | We understand wanting to download mods in bulk from a torrent, or even better, the skyrim/ directory from the full setup; however, we at STEP are committed to the whole of the modding community.

In good faith to all, our commitment precludes our support of mod hosting without the expressed consent of the mod authors. | ||
Most of us are firm believers in "freedom file sharing", but it is not as if everyone in the world does not ''already'' have access to these materials and information. It is a matter of respect and ethics which governs the majority of the modding community, who work for free and provide resources for free. We here at STEP simply show the users how to utilize these resources using the intended channels. {{Fc|#e6b69e|We users win by the fruits of these labors, so the least that we can do is spend the time it takes to download, prepare and learn how to use these resources.}} | |||
