yo holy shit bro i couldn't have said it better myself. well i could have but i enjoy stirring up trouble and i'm just too lazy.B-b-but it takes time to look through the search resuuuuuults! *Adjusts glasses* Ya see, I could look for it myself but that would take 2 minutes of my time versus the 30 seconds it takes me to ask a question. I can do other stuff while I wait, meaning it's both faster and convenient to just ask!

I used "where can I find mods", "are there mods" and just "mods" in the search results and all instances I was able to find an answer almost immediately. Should that fail, you can always click on the post with the same question as you (you will be directed to that page) and see if someone else replied to that person. Sometimes I feel like people just don't know how to use the search function and then blame it for being inefficient...
When searching for something, on a specific thread, you have the option to narrow it down to the thread you're in, the particular sub-forum where the thread is located or the entire forum. Thread-specific searches must be made on the thread it self, NOT ON THE RESULT PAGE! If you make a new search in the result page, you will receive generalized results from all over the forum.
I do agree that the discord is an absolute mess to sift through when you're looking for specific mods but that's because Discord is primarily used for chatting. It's not a file storage service like Nexus. I recall someone saying only a few make race mods - you can block those users and that will clean up the mod channel on Discord a little bit. Alternatively, there is a spreadsheet for (all?) mods posted on Discord,You must be registered to see the links. You can either narrow it down by category (clothes, tattoos, etc) or use CTRL+ F and type in your keywords.
i admit i was very confused when he mentioned his struggle with the search bar - which leads me to think he didn't, actually, use the search bar. or if he did it was the wrong one, or he just didn't see the blatantly obvious options to change how the search bar, ya know, searches. also, i wouldn't know about the discord personally because holy fuck was that a mess when i left it ages ago, but i can only imagine it got worse as time went on - truly, a haven for trolls.
also, i love the sarcasm and this isn't directed at you, ivory my chum my friend my hombre my compadre my amigo, but for anyone reading this that has an IQ equivalent to room temperature: it does not, in fact, take anywhere around 30 seconds to both send and receive an answer to a question on a public forum. good fucking luck getting anyone to respond to you in any sort of timely manner unless they're no-lifing the forum with the intent to die here and haunt it forever. if you're a somewhat-lucky individual you'll get people responding maybe...fucking i dunno, once an hour? maybe? the only time that will be different is if you're part of an active conversation and both of you are waiting for responses form the other person.
TL;DR: dont be lazy shits and actively sabotage yourselves for no reason because you could have just looked up the issue in about thirty seconds - yes, i checked, i did indeed find upwards of thirty posts mentioning different mods at around about half a minute's time - and spared everyone the brain cell loss.
