Re: Important Modding Information Thread index - all once-stickied threads
this isn't a link to anything, but sort of a reason why there aren't lots more links to small "mods"

As such any index of 'tweaks' so to speak would be little more than a series of 'how to mod' guides, the list of which you can find on our Guides, Tutorials & Tools forum.
For major mods, the place to look should always be in their readme file or in their initial release post which should document the changes that have been made. If the modders want to they can maintain a living readme (or a link to one) in the Forge of the changes they'd made.
There's no standardised terminology to describe mods re the extent of the changes they make. The idea has been discussed but it's never caught on. There are broad categories (of which you can find out a little more
here) but it's rather incumbent on the modder to describe his mod accurately to his audience using whatever terminology he thinks is appropriate.

Re: Important Modding Information Thread index - all once-stickied threads
I'd like to reiterate that this is not an index of mods - it is a index of discoveries relating to how we can mod the game files. Research, not product.
Also, that if you consider there is another important research thread where new discoveries have been made and think it should be added to this index please send either me (or Myrddraal if I don't respond) a PM - do not reply in this thread. This is simply so all important links are available from the first post so users can find what they're looking for quickly without having to sort through a lengthy thread.
