Modding Reference Thread

[Tampa_Gamer]

The goal is for this thread to contain only one post - a hyperlink index to various modding sources based on the specific file or area you want to mod. This is very much a work in process so bear with us. We would like to keep this thread clean for now (without resorting to locking it) so we would ask that you pose suggestions for links in This Thread so if you have a good link you would like to add, go ahead and post it. We will periodically update this post to contain any new links so that they are all in one place. It seems to work pretty good for some of the current MOO3 and R:TW modding forums that are out there.
