What would be the use of creating 3rd-party assets if no one used them is scenarios?

An interesting solution I've seen is that some scenario authors publish two versions of a scenario: one with DLC and one with "default" assets.
Once the scenario is working with DLC assets, it is a simple matter to swap them out with default ones, without affecting the scenario's logic.


I've seen some of those, too, and it is a great and considerate way of handling DLC. Many thanks to those who do so! !*cheers*!
