You're not the first running a wild goose chase.
I am a software engineer for life and I can't understand a thing. It is not about us people being stupid, Suzu should understand, technical writing is crucial and users should not try to decipher his messages poorly translated by google translator.
All it takes ONE documentation, how to install, how to edit and where to edit.
Right now, the XML file is a total mess without a hint of what and where something should be commented or uncommented or hell knows what.
I still can't figure out what line in XML should be edited, Does comment out line removes or adds armor. How to mix and match armor.
I understand, Suzu takes pride in his work, but please, write ONE good document on how to use your mods and no one ever will ask annoying questions and try to read all 10000000 pages on this site.
Organize your mods. If you have trouble with language, ask people who can help you.
If you had actually maintained any sort of public project you'd know that no matter how well documented something is, people will refuse to read, overlook stuff, invent their own methods, etc. There is simply no way to avoid questions that were already answered.
"I am a software engineer for life", cool, we're all here releasing content for free, based on our interests, in our free time, we might just post content sometimes, like how Suzu is posting outfits, without instructions, basic understanding of the game's file structure would be enough for one to understand how to use said files, when the rest of the mods are installed in virtually the exact same way, there's no reason for us to repeat what to do.
And on the topic of interests, it's also why updates or documentation might be neglected, I don't enjoy the game a whole lot anymore, I do very little work compared to what I used to, as much as I want to do more since I enjoy coding, the game is simply not enjoyable so I don't really have motivation to do so.
And lastly, as was mentioned above, this is content made for free, in our free time, we do not owe you anything, we don't work for you, you don't have the right to insult or lecture us about what we're doing wrong, stop acting entitled to content you don't even pay for, that basically no one pays for, some of us have donation options yet those tend to be very infrequent, it can be months between single donations, as far as making a living out of it goes, it pays for nothing, as generous as it is.
You don't like it? You're more than welcome to leave, find some other tools and resources for modding.
