There's two instances of the game, official is the main instance were only QOL changes are allowed with mods and modded realm where anything goes but there's no saved progression. I think their reason for sperating the realms is to not ruin the game for other people that just wanna play normally

So I noticed a few things that I never once saw before in another game with modding:
1) there's apparently a cosmetic shop ingame for real life money
2) Apparently mods need to be approved by devs?
3) Seems only approved mods can be used outside of the test gamemode?

What is the exact point of these measures? Is it to prevent people from making mods that give people the paid cosmetics? Also is this game online only?

Well, simple example... Fatshark has the license for End Times , but not for everything Warhammer . People would start to make Mods for every Games WOrkshop Franchise using the Assets from this Game... and then Fatshark probably would get trouble with Games Workshop.

For example, someone could easy make a whole Mordheim Game from the Assets already included in the Game, or they could add Orks or something else belonging to the Warhammer World... but not the End TImes franchise...

And of course its to prevent that everyone runs around in Golden Armor with 10000 feathers on his Hat, which perhaps are so bad optimized or so good simulated that it would eat away 50% of Hardware Performance from other Players....

There are many things one has to think about not only cheating problems
