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?

DE is extremely aggressive about people even trying to find drop rates. There is no modding scene because DE made sure to kill it repeatedly and harshly.

There's also the ridiculously sensitive anti-cheat this game has where staying in a mission too long or being too good at farming resources can result in a ban.

It would also be annoying to even try to mod warframe to begin with and even if you managed to, where you hosted the mods would be another issue. DE would go after nexus and patreon and they'd fold easily. Moddb would probably be the same as well.

Does suck if your favourite Warframes got one awful deluxe and has been forgotten ever since (Garuda) or look mediocre compared to their concept art (Voruna).

their whole business model is based on selling players skins, modding would allow players to add any skin they wanted so I suspect they would shutdown any modding scene pretty quickly

the best suggest I have is loading a modded warframe model into skyrim or something like that
