Okay so there's no easy way to say this, but BSMOD is in a state where it's in a mess and it makes me very unhappy to work on it.
I would like to send my apologies on the quality of the mod, it's isn't done right and it wasn't of any acceptable quality to be released.

However, recently I have decided and have already started to re-work BSMOD entirely to...
1. Clean up code
2. Polish features
3. Not have long awaiting releases anymore

The idea is that I want to release updates, as I update. This is to eliminate ridiculously long months of waiting for a release of any kind, and allows feedback to be sent back to me easier. In order to do this, BSMOD is being re-written. That means BSMOD v0.5a is almost vanilla at this point. Features are slowly polished and re-added into the mod. I know some might not like the idea of having a new base release with less features than the previous, but I can promise that all the features will come back, polished, and with some changes to a few of them. Polishing may result in some features getting changed for the better, of which of course I will explain why.
The important thing about doing this, is that it allows me to have a clear control over the 3 key points mentioned above.
I will leave it up to the majority, if you wish to have a new base release with barely any features at the moment, but constantly gets updates,

-Upvote up arrow for "Yes I don't mind having a bare base mod temporarily and get constant updates".

-Upvote down arrow to wait for BSMOD v0.5a to reach v0.4a level before getting released with constant updates.

Again, my apologies and I want to thank you all for your continued support, and I hope that you all will understand why I feel that this new method of releasing will benefit us all.

The poll was overwhelmingly in favor of an early bare bones release, with updates released more frequently. Which means this release is not feature complete, but updates will be coming out quicker.
