The Achilles' heel of modders: Real-Life.

If modders had no work to do,we would get like 2 mods per week.

Not necessarily, mods are much more complex than you think they are, it involves a lot of coding, a lot of proper item placements, quite a bit of AI pathing to make sure they are not running into walls, reskinning assets from the game, reskinning/making new sides, adding new weapons in from scratch or borrowing weapons from others modders, reskinning assets made by other modders, giving credit to those modders/LucasArts, going through your map multiple times to see what you need to change to make better, compressing the final map down. True most of these are optional but great modders such as AQT take all of these listed into effect to ensure the enjoyment out of a great map.

That is only a little bit of what modders do, there is more than that too. As you said when in the real world, you do not have a lot of time on your hands, maybe from 5:00 PM-10:00 PM (assuming they have a full time job) but consider if he has a family to support, those five hours may dwindle down to two hours or an hour. If they live alone and work full time they may have more time on their hands, every person is different.

I know there is more,I just started modding. What,you thought I would get to Mavertichell-levels of modding in half a day? lol

But yes,that is correct there is no time for mods with a job and a family.

It is like the Pick Two thing: Modding,Family,Job - Pick 2
