Modding Reference Links [Modding Guides, Tools & Tutorials]
Posted: Wed Aug 28, 2013 1:41 am
The stickied posts have been getting a little crowded of late. In the interest of keeping clutter down, Ultramantis and I figured perhaps it's better to have a master list as the Working Mods do - which I used for reference in compiling some of this list. I've tried to cull some of the defunct, abandoned, or otherwise outdated links, but if you find something you believe should be on here, feel free to post it for consideration.
