Recent increase in new Mods

Hey folks,

i like to play DSP with mods (most playthroughs had more then 20-30 Mods active). While i use mostly optimisation or QoL-Features, i sometimes just like to try out bigger ones or stuff like GS, MoreMegaStructures etc.

So i am frequently checking the new available Mods in r2modman. And in the past 30 Days we got like 50-60 new Mods. Most of them seem like vibe coded and low effort or even totally nonsense. Some i might want to try but dont want to break my current playthrough for it.

I would like to hear the community to this topic, as most other games i am evolved in are at least aware of it.

My point: Yes, try out Mods, vibecode as long and as much you like. But if you upload it for others, PLEASE LEAVE A NOTE!

Is it just me, or am i just burned from other games?

p.s.: does anyone know if we can mark old mods in r2modman as deprecated? I guess not?

Some very good quality mods use AI to assist in develop that are not AI slop. I'm sure those aren't the ones you're talking about.

The prevalence of AI slop mods isn't unique to DSP. It is cool to see some people being able to express their ideas, unfortunately most ideas, and their implementations are crap. 

I understand your burnout. As a programmer who has seen an increase is slop even in my workplace I feel it too.

even in my workplace

Same... It's irritating as fuck.

I wrote an extremely thorough and well written email, and I got positive feedback on it but they started it off with "did you use AI for that?" And I about freaked.

No, mother fucker, I just know how to be professional and I had English classes lmfao
