    I'm not english, so sorry in advice for mistakes.

    Some time ago i have made personal versions of some characters and i have used them for myself. I'm not an artist or a modder so i have made something like a "patchwork" with other's mods.

    If i want to post them somewhere i have to ask permissions to mods, have not? Ok. But some mods are very old and some artist are inactive for a while. So i don't know how to contact them.

    What should I do in these cases?

      Your main options are...
      • Contact the authors.
      • Check their descriptions or permission settings on Nexus:

      • If there's a link to source code or GitHub, check for a license file there.
      Unfortunately if none of those options work, you can't legally publish a mod containing their assets.

        Is there a way to find an email somewhere?
        I thought I could at least post with a warning (like "If you want me to remove, I will") because i saw many people do that...

          You can't get their email address so far as I know. Unfortunately copyright law doesn't really work that way (though some people might misunderstand or ignore it).
