I'm also asking myself the question why there isn't any documentation released regarding the editor. It was something they showed regularly and were proud of. But now that the game is released no one knows how to use it? It's like "Alright, we got your money, now figure it out yourself!" Concerning the patches its the same situation, no information whatsoever about the changes made to the game.
I'm not a modder myself but the lack of communication from the developers towards its playerbase seriously bothers me. Simply disrespectful if you ask me. I read before that the german fanbase already had some things figured out on their own? So we as an english community are dependent on our own discoveries unless a person who speaks german and english would translate all findings and communicate them to both forums.
The aforementioned once again shows that this game was definately not ready for launch and should have been postponed once more. This should/would have resulted in a higher quality game and a better playing experience which is something this series as well as the devoted fanbase deserves. The modders and the fanbase in general made the previous installment to what it is today, a great game with a lot of diversity which definately attracted a lot more fans and enthousiasts. What we and the modders get in return for their hard work, creativity and dedication is basically a slap in the face.
