It also wasn’t necessary in every situation. To be clear, we didn’t contact all of you-we lacked the manpower and contact information. This was a challenge, since the forum closed so quickly, making many of you unreachable.

The project preservation and inventorying process necessitated we contact project authors. This portion of our site has been created just for you. We’re modders ourselves, so we understand the sensitive nature of the situation. Monetization of mods by third party platforms (Steam/Valve) and publishers (Bethesda), console modding, mod piracy, debates about open versus closed modding, and more. There have been a lot of issues coming to a head in the modding community over the past few years. We’re trying to work with mod authors to preserve as many mods as we can.īefore we go any further, we want to take the time to be very clear about one thing: If your mod had no host external to Legacy BSN at the time of its closure, then it’s currently lost to the community until if and when it’s re-uploaded elsewhere. This means all player-created content hosted on BSN-including your projects (mods)-is no longer accessible by the community.Īs we explain here, part of the goal of BioWare Continuity Network’s BSN Project Inventory is to attempt to ensure continuity of mod availability. For those of you who have been away from the the modding community for a while and are just finding this site, the BioWare Forums and Legacy BioWare Social Network (BSN) have been permanently shuttered.
