About Me
Some further elaboration on my TOU:
Please direct to my original uploads as much as possible if you want to redistribute my mods, ideally link directly to the original upload so that people can stay up to date and get them directly from me.
I’ve made updates for or transformative works out of old resources (tools, mods, etc.) myself. I’ve made them with the intention to help preserve and maintain resources that are still useful to the community today, but whose creators have moved on.
