[2020] Why Collosal not using mod as the official DLC..

It's also important to keep in mind that things aren't going to be way more optimized just because it's added to the game itself. A mod like TMPE which affects performance because it makes the AI smarter isn't gonna work differently if it was added to the game. The game as a whole would just slow down.

Move It most definitely will never be added to the game. We can do SO many things with that mod, which breaks things, that it just can't be added. Everything in the game has to be safe for any player to use, otherwise support is going to get flooded with bug reports from players who moved something and now it doesn't work. While I adore Move It, it's the right choice to keep it as a mod.

Like others have said, functions that used to be in mods have been added to the game with almost every major patch, so the devs definitely are taking ideas from the community and adding them to the game. If there's something you want to see added, then being specific always helps. And the official forums has a whole area for suggestions and feedback, which the devs read. I would suggest posting there about which mods you wish were added to the game - though keep in mind that anything that affects performance or lets you do game breaking things are unlikely to be added. :)

I'm right there with you. I fell in love with the vanilla game, but mods has kept me around for all 5 years - and for as many hours as I have played. :P
