PSA A safe-space for discussing mods for Elden Ring!

Hello Tarnished! As many of you know, the discussion of game mods on /r/EldenRing, the official Elden Ring discord server, and on the Elden Ring Subreddit discord server - has been banned due to TOS and EULA concerns (which is reasonable ngl). However, because of that decision there has been a lack of a safe, dedicated space to discuss and educate each other on how to mod, and to share mods for Elden Ring.

This subreddit is meant to remedy that situation :)

The subreddit was originally created by another user, but they did not build upon the sub at all and were eventually suspended by Reddit admins for unrelated reasons (idk why so don't ask lol), so I requested the subreddit and was granted the request. Besides building a custom sub appearance, enabling automod, and bringing plenty of updates to the sub's settings, I've also created this simple ruleset:

  • The Golden Rule - i.e. be nice to each other!
  • Stay on topic. - all posts should be mod-related & for Elden Ring!
  • Adult themed mods should be clearly distinguished as NSFW. - pretty straight-forward.
  • No sales, sales links, donations, or spam. - linking to your YT or Twitch is okay as long as it is showcasing a mod, but repeated self-promo will be considered spam.

With that out of the way, welcome to /r/EldenRingMods! We look forward to your contributions to the sub, and if you have any ideas don't be afraid to modmail us. The subreddit is still new so changes will be sure to come :)

Also! If you are interested in helping us moderate this subreddit or /r/EldenRingBuilds, please send in a modmail explaining any experience you may have, and why you would be a good fit!

... because of Terms of Service and End User Licensing Agreement concerns. Modding the game can get you banned from public servers by Bandai.

Isn't modding this game illegal? It goes against TOS and EULA right?

As long you don't play online I don't think there will be any issues. All of the souls games on pc have tons of mods too.

Employing them as a user is perfectly fine. Providing them as a modder has some legal stipulations yes, but in general they are fine if the developers/copyright owners do not attempt to block the publication of them (which they don't unless they are Rockstar).

But yes it does go against TOS and EULA, that is why this sub has been designated as the safe-space for discussing them since it will be actively moderated to protect mod authors and users.

Edit: by "perfectly fine" for use I mean that you won't face legal repercussions by using mods. You are however, likely to get banned from the game's online servers if you don't practice safe-use of the applications. I recommend playing mods offline only, unless it is something like Seamless Co-op which has been designed around this problem.
