I regret this.
It seems easier for the maker to list the mods they use, since they can check the character and see it. It takes me 5-10 minutes to organize what mods I used. There is no rule stating that people MUST put the mods. However, if you actually want people to enjoy your characters, it would be polite to put in some effort to help them.
EVERYONE is lazy.
If you want recognition for your work, make your work above the standard. If putting work into something makes you want to give up, why are you doing it in the first place?
If you want every model to work, download the more significant mods.
My most used: (Belgar17, S_K, Zeaska, SMPR, Hair Extensions, Basic Shapes, and honeymod.blog)
And anything else that catches your interest. Sometimes you just really want a cowgirl with cowprint gloves. Check hongfire, anime-sharing, and honeymod.blog.jp if you want to see things beforehand for memory limitations.
