So your 'sparse' is based more on how many could actually upload not how many of us there actually was. I've been making mods for myself for 20 years, many before I even had the Internet and I had many friends who did the same. There were less MA yes, sparse I would never agree with as the percentage of MA to the copies of either Morrowind and Oblivion sold compared to Skyrim would obviously create smaller numbers. You seem to forget entirely the MA community does not have to only be those who upload, many just work for themselves or with friends and only make mods for those friends. I never found the Oblivion CK hard nor did anyone else I know who used it, it was so much easier after the Morrowind one.
But that won't happen if modders are left with homebrewed modding tools. The point is, this game has the opportunity to vastly grow the modding scene on an even grander scale than Skyrim and Fallout 4 did. Folks like TerranceKim324 (creator of the Moonshadow Elf Race for Oblivion) and DizzasterJuice (who created the Ares android race for Fallout: New Vegas) to name a couple. Many of the most popular old school modders left the scene ages ago. Skyrim's Creation Kit grew the number of active modders to a vastly greater degree than Morrowind, Oblivion, and Fallout: New Vegas did combined. Users are NOT what make up the modding community. Simply adding mods to the game's Data folder doesn't make someone a "modder". Try not to conflate the term "modders" with "mod users". Oblivions construction kit didn't really add many new modders, because it was nowhere near as easy to use, or near as capable of what Skyrim's Creation Kit is. Most of the mods coming out of the community were coming from the same handful of old school modders, many of whom were still using third party tools. But there's simply no comparison between today's modding community, and what it was pre-Skyrim.
