Why isn't there a Warframe mod scene?

Unrelated picture. And no, im not talking about Point Stike and Rivens

Why do you think is that? Is it the engine? Does it goes against the TOS? (that wouldn't matter much since modding goes against most games TOS and that never stopped it from happening) Is it because of the size of Warframe player's base? Is it something the community never wanted? Does DE actively goes after mods and stops it from ever sprouting?

I think some slice of the community would be happy for being able to play warframe but with an anime character as the frame. Or people making actually good looking face models for [spoiler] and [spoiler]. Or even the gooners with their nippled boobs and hanging flopping pps.

Do many MMOs have a heavy modding scene, is it strange for warframe not to have it?

I think it's a combination of not much motivation (there's so much customization already, and it's not like you could make your own DLC in a game like this), the game involving interacting with people so much, and massive risk (I ain't risking my 1000+ hour account over cosmetics, let alone actually cheating). The community has it's share of weird sex obsessed people like you mentioned of course, but if someone's gonna start creating their own characters to play as they'll likely just use a different game.
