Hello, I have a few questions about modding in this game.
I am aware what YoshiP said about modifying the game via mods and/or third-party tools, but the modding part was mostly about the 'lewd' aspect of the community, was it not?
But does that mean that other cosmetical modding is bannable too?
Such as adding in eyebrows for Highlanders (SE, I am still mad you said no eyebrows for my buff boys)
or adding in better beards for Elezen or Miqo'te?
Simply cosmetical mods that aren't used for lewding or nsfw images.
Are all mods forbidden, even if they aren't for lewd/nsfw pictures but simply for cosmetical purposes?
I did have trouble understanding some parts... actually.. a lot of parts.
Now, I also know that most responses are "It's against TOS and it's your fault if you get banned. " or "You are fine as long as you don't tell anyone in-game or post them to social media and link them to FF.", but I keep finding Instagram accounts that do exactly that. Posting their modded characters in modded gposes and such. Sometimes even with their names.
How easy is it for you to be found if you post such things?
Because I wanted to create an RP sheet on Amino for my FFXIV characters and use the screenshots (with the cosmetical modding) for their RP page. The problem also lies in their names as I use their character name in-game. For example if I created a Viera OC and called her.. uh 'Hilda Gilda', that would also be my in-game name. Would that be a problem if I created a sheet for Hilda Gilda, using that name but without stating the server I was playing on? Could it be traced back to me? Or would it be better if I changed her name to not resemble my in-game name?
I also plan on not sending anyone inside of FFXIV or anyone that knows my FFXIV account the RP sheet (at least not the one with the modded pictures) in fear of them reporting me.
I do really wish to create those RP sheets and use their original names without altering it or removing the mods used in the screenshots. Is that possible? People will be aware of it being from FFXIV as their characters are created in the FFXIV universe with the lore, so the characters will be linked back to SE.
One of my biggest fears is losing all my progess for the game, especially having put in so much money for the subs, retainers and occasional Mogstation Items. My friends have already told me to not speak about it in-game, to remove the watermark in the screenshots and to not tell anyone my in-game name or server.
But is that enough? Can it protect me?
I am also would like to share my creations online without stating my in-game name or server name, though I am wary and have already trashed that idea because of my fears.
So in summary, here are my questions:
Please I uh.. need help. I am trying to find a solution and answers to my questions.
I am desperate, but also like to mod the game because SE is making it hard to make some races look presentable. (Looking at you, Giraffe Race.)
Thank you so much and I also apologize if I had any grammar mistakes or conveyed my thoughts in a completely different light than I intended to do. I have a lot of trouble understanding things sometimes and put them into the right wordings.

So in summary, here are my questions:
- Are all mods banned, or just the lewd/nfsw ones? Can you use the sfw cosmetical mods/shaders?
- Can you easily get found out if you post a modded picture without telling your server name?
- Is it safe to create RP sheets with modded screenshots and using your in-game name as the name of the character? Or should I rename the character in the sheet to avoid it resembling my in-game name?
- If you get banned, is it a permaban or a tempban?
- What are the chances of actually getting banned?
