Nope, i posted in the "Directives from the Director" forum because its description says "News and Annoucements". It's the place to post new stuff. ;)

"Directives from the Director" is the place where SHS staff and admins post stuff that's important for SHS. I adjusted the description a litlle and restricted posting permissions.

 

Moving this to IE Modding Discussion.

 

Please insert a short intro text into your first post to make sure this is not your mod or an official mod support thread, but an announcement thread of a mod you think interesting. And better link to the original project page instead of listing all details here - they will be outdated the moment the mod gets updated.
