I shouldn't read those news posts, Im getting more and more upset about how Beteshda treats its gaming community >_>

I wouldn't be so fast to praise Bethesda to heaven again Dark0ne. Sure they offered SDK's for all the games for free. But these were helping them indirectly, raising their reputation and gaining massive popularity by having that huge modding community. This reflects in the number of sells. You can't deny they wanted to do this for profit now. You are naive if you believe they did this mainly for the greater good of modding, I'm pretty certain they did this exclusivly for money purposes or as a test for future titles, how to raise more money there. They knew exactly how this would hurt the modding community, even if they say otherwise now. We have to take care now, I feel like this isn't over in the long run. I hope they are honest with what they say about DRMification; The one thing that is certain is they would not tell the community now if they actually planned DRMification, so it might be aswell not the truth..

-You say the sky is not falling down, mod authors are continuing to make free mods here. But that's just thinking short term. I doubt Valve will get noticeably more rich by the curated skyrim workshop. This might just be a test, the main issue of Valve's step might come in the long term. They will possibly try to go 3 steps further for future titles and become control freaks of modding in general, irreversible altering Modding as it is known now, may it be Paywalls only or even completly taking Monopol and making free modding pirating. -Nexus is a company after all (being able to employ a full time community manager apparently, so things might not go to bad, but im speculating here and dont have any insight) and it is understandable for a company to take money. I have no clue if you need the dirty Valve money to maintain your income while updating forum servers or not. It's even more understandable to not want to get mortal enemy of Valve and Bethesda, as big companies can be very nasty. It is easy to say that mods should always remain free here when you actually are forced to keep it like that (i guess you would run into bethesda/valve licence issues when trying to sell peoples mods). But I still trust you though that you wouldnt want to sell peoples' mods even if you could .... You neither want or can be the white knight of free modding. And I see that Nexus as a company isn't the thing that can be a white knight of defending free modding (on all platforms everywhere, not just the Nexus itself). But maybe we NEED to stop this thing before it evolves like i described in my first paragraph. Right now it looks bad. Valve is going the disgusting ignore-and-censorship route and hopes for things to calm down and get away with it in the end. If this happens, modding my take serious damage in the far future. It's not about the Nexus, which wants to maintain its status as a <i-dont-know-how-successful-company>, its about modding with all of its ingenuity, and community spirit in general. This is my opinion. I admit I havent invested 1k+ hours into creating a mod like some other people did, so I clearly accept my opinion counts like nothing to theirs since I hardly contributed anything to the community compared to them. Still, I feel its ok to post my opinion as a user here. If I'm obviously completly on the wrong track with anything of the above I said, because I'm not thinking/reading properly I'd appreciate if someone corrects me.

I'm already fuming with rage right now when thinking of Steam denying free modding for future titles like TES 6 in order to make more profit.. RIP awesome modding communities.. Maybe even open source modding tools like mod organizer will be prohibited.. Horrible News.. I also really like the Steam News.. like "So far mods have been free. Now they won't be free anymore because we want more of your money. We need you to understand that this a totally great improvement for you guys.."... LOL.. Maybe I dont get the whole picture and I'm seeing this totally wrong? IDK, but this development makes me really feel umcomfortable

Hi everyone :smile: In your Skyrim.ini you can (as you will already know) add the line uGridstoload and set it to either 5, 7, 9 or 11 in order to increase the detail of wide-distance-objects. Since I've heard the most common one is 7 I wanted to ask if 9 and/or 11 are still unstable with the newest patch-situation, or if it is at least possible to set it to 9 now??? (would give a much prettier screen :tongue:) Any experience/advice/suggestions? Thx for any answers

So here's my problem: Whenever I want to load to load the Skyrim.esm, there occurs an error-window saying "MASTERFILE: LOCALIZATION: Lookup failed for ID....". This should be mainly a problem for skyrim-users that don't have english language, but e.g. german. I've see´n that changing some stuff in the Skyrim.ini will make you go around that error, but there will still occur a ton of errors when start modding with the creation kit, so I guess it's no fun. Since I'm not sure if beteshda gives a f*** (although i hope they do and will give us a patch soon :confused: ) about non-english-skyrim-users my question is: Has someone already a good solution for that? Does it help to completly change your Skyrim into english, or is there a better way? Thx for any help :blush: Dammal

Thx for the reply :cool: Well, I guess I'll go the hard way, because there are so many files to be deleted and I've no idea if they belong to a mod or to the game :pinch: But when I mod again, I'll first make a backup and also backup the files of the mods I'm installing

Hello everyone, I'm not very happy with my mods anymore, so I want to delete them all :tongue: (especially at tuesday in case there's really a high-res-pack coming, I'd give that a try) Unfortunate I'm a jerk and haven't made a backup before modding a lot. :biggrin: How can I come back to a "clean" Vanilla-Skyrim?? I wouldn't mind loosing my save-files when it's necessary. Can this be done by completly deleting the skyrim folder, deinstalling and installing skyrim again?? I appreciate any help :turned:

Hmm, maybe, Ill look after that, thx for helping.

I was recently getting some MOD's for my Skyrim. After this I recently see naked guards in Skyrim running around, and I don't know why some of them decided to put their trousers of, but I dont like it. :P The thing is, I was only getting performance-, retexture-mods and such stuff, things to make the game look better, but i didnt do anything beeing somehow connected to naked guards o_O Any ideas? ^^
