They will still do it, but i guess they need to implement their new monetization system and after that fix some stuff that probably will affect modding too. They talked about Mod support in a recent interview. Would love to see the block stopped so the 76 mod community can move past basic texture swaps and UI SWF mods. At this point, the only person the halt is affecting is the weekend modder like myself who enjoys fucking around with games I play when not working. There is already rampant cheating in the game as a few developers have taken this and over the coarse of a few months, done the work I described and are now selling their closed source tooling to people to cheat.
The decision to block this project is not noble either if the intent was to block cheaters. Is it a problem with the nif standard XML (that is also maintained by this project's developers)? is there an issue within the code for nifskope? no idea. I spent about 6 hours last night dicking around with the source in an attempt to be able to successfully read a nif file and then write it without modifications and never succeeded. It would be weeks of work to just gain a deep enough understanding of all the moving parts of this project and where to even begin modifying the source code to enable this. The task of updating the tooling of this project to support 76 modding is far beyond non-trival. On that note, it feels very crappy to hold this project hostage until they make hard yes/no decision. Its needed to just accept that fact and just rip the band-aid off. Fallout 76 will more than likely never receive official mod support.
