Are there any mods in the make yet?

I'm out of the loop as I haven't really checked in since release, and I wonder if the modding community is up here already?

Any forums?

But how? There's no simple modding tools or anything that makes PoE mod friendly to be honest. All I see are just portraits. Not even simple texture swaps.

As far as I know, no.

 

There's portraits, and a few people have made or are making voice replacers. On the Nexus there are a few mods that are more technical, a couple of personal balance shifts roughly hacked in, and a save state editor, and I think one person managed to make a way for people to look at and edit dialogue files a bit more easily.

 

But aside from those things, there are no major mods due to the way the game's been constructed. Pre-rendered backgrounds made mostly in Maya and not with tilesets but unique art means only a seriously pro artist could possibly make new maps, and it seems you'd need to have a full version of Unity 4 and a strong working knowledge of programming to alter a lot of the core mechanics. Basically, if you have the skills to mod PoE in the more fundamental ways, you'd probably be better off just applying for a job at Obsidian and working on the game officially, and you're probably a person already busy making your own games anyway, so why mod it?

I know it's not new, but you guys are aware of the IEmod, right?

There's also this made by Bester, and currently only kept up to date by one or two other people:
