My Mod Author's Mission Statement.

You'll find this on every mod I release, and on my Patreon page. I am posting it here, in case the brick wall on my mod page or my Patreon page scares people away from reading it.

It's very important to me, that my community members get to know and understand me. I know there are nearly 500 now, and it makes it hard to touch base with all of you. This is why, I am posting this here. I want everyone curious about me, to know me.

Written below is me, Corrinne Lefein Noël; It's nice to meet you. 

The pleasure as always, is all mine. <3

For all the years I have worked with game modding, I very rarely upload files to be hosted; (The Nexus for example)
Choosing to instead share my work with people I meet online. My work began mostly with bug fixes ignored or missed by the original developers. Once I began sharing my work with people I would meet from forums to Steam I started to receive requests, for this or that, for which I would gladly do when I was capable of what was asked.

The more requests I began to get the more I started delving into experimenting with game mods to see what I was capable of doing as for my own original non requested work. After I started creating things I wanted to use for myself, I would offer to share them with friends. After all, the work wasn't requested and it was completely original, I didn't think too many people would be interested. I made things that suited my own personal tastes.

Not long after I started getting requests to collaborate on projects, I did this on condition of anonymity. The internet was a scary place to me!
As time went on I discovered I really liked working with Skyrim modding, there were so many mods and things you could do with Skyrim it was only natural I would spend allot of time working with the development kit, and because I loved not only creating mods but using them; over the time I spent with it I amassed quite a collection of mods from various authors.

It was during my time with Skyrim, because the game has incredible longevity that mod authors began to fall away from Skyrim modding leaving their works hidden, deleted, unusable because of updates, broken, or made back when tools were much more crude and not as advanced - effectively rendering them potentially dangerous to install or use.

It was at this time, I discovered I had a real knack for rebuilding old abandonware mods. I found I had an even better knack for combining the assets left behind in these mods into entirely new creations.

Once I discovered I could not only breathe new life into old broken and unusable mods but I could recreate entirely new things out of them; I felt I had really found my place. Not in the community, but just within what I truly enjoyed.
It's hard to explain the feeling of having something someone poured their time and effort in being lost to time, filled with errors (and in more than one instance with viruses in them!) and totally broken; Wake up into being something completely new and exciting.

When I work on a mod that was made 5 years ago by someone who just left it hidden on an old forum because they had to leave the community or whatever varying reason, or left just incomplete; I feel like it's almost a spiritual collaboration with a person in another time.
It might seem sad that some of my best work, can't be released and no one is able to use it. However that's what modding is, I love to do it. Sure it's great when it's something I can share, but overall it's truly what I enjoy. It doesn't matter to me not all my work can be released. That's not what drives me through completing projects that can range from 100 hours, to 1000 hours, it's the work I enjoy.

You will see in my Patreon posts how I feel about work I release. I personally feel we modders, condition the people we release our work for into utilizing our work. That when we abandon them after that conditioning it is not only irresponsible, it's going against the entire reason we choose to release our work to the public in the first place. Not only that, but I truly find the all too common practice disgusting. There are so many authors who absolutely ignore their communities, I will never partake in this abhorrent practice. If I cannot maintain my work, I will set it hidden or I will turn it over for someone else to continue.

That is the reason I will always, no matter the circumstances maintain anything I publicly release. Not only do I maintain all my work, but you will find I respond to each and every person I possibly can on any forum my work is posted to.
Whether it's an error, a bug, a crash or a complaint you will always find me at least attempting to address any issue that may arise while someone is using my work.

When you choose to use my work, you're entering into a relationship with me personally; Not only do I cherish this relationship, I also take it very seriously, and very personally. You're effectively under my care because you're using my work. I feel responsible for your experience when you're gaming, I feel responsible for bugs you might experience, and I am dedicated to making sure you have the most comfortable and carefree experience I can possibly provide.

You'll notice all my mod work comes with a dedicated Tech support discord server, that is available 24 hours per day, every day of the week. I make absolutely sure there is always someone on hand at any time of the day to assist with bugs, crashes, questions, installation or just conversation about the mod work I provide to the community.

This is who I am, and I stand by my work, and by the community along with the people who have gathered around it.
