I'm planning to create a mod but I'm afraid that it may get taken down for potential reasons like copyright, The music pack I'm trying to put in my mod is from another game, they play in specific events. And there is a chance some of them are copyrighted (but mostly not) so I'm not quite sure since the soundtracks of video games are usually allowed to be played elsewhere like live streams, etc. I don't intend to profit through this mod in any way. It will be completely for free.

Should I take the risk and start working on this mod or cancel the idea? Could this type of mod violate the rules of this website? I need your help in that matter. Thanks in advance!

( @Tashiketh @HugeLunatic @Lyralei Could you advise where to post this perhaps? )

I would suggest checking the original copyright holder (aka the game studio that developed it) since you aren't sure if it's copyrighted or not. There is some fair-use allowed, especially if it's not for profit and clearly attributed but I'd check nonetheless.

That's what I should do I think, I must check each soundtrack license and see if it's safe for reuse.

Thanks a lot for mentioning the admins and helping get my question noticed! But I’m sure they’d take down any mod if a copyright removal request was received, no doubt about that. But honestly, I don’t think importing a soundtrack into TS4 would cause any problems, unless it’s specifically against the forum rules.
