Eddydpyl Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Hi everyone!There's something I've been working on recently. It's a virtual bounty system, where people can create and fund bounties for things they'd like to see get done. I was wondering if the concept would work for modding.For example, say I want a mod that turns every NPC into a walking, talking cheese wheel. Or something else that hasn't been done yet. I could decide to create a bounty and put 5$ towards it. Then if others are also intereseted, they can further fund it. When someone manages to build such a mod, they would be able to claim the accumulated bounty for themsleves.What do you think? As a mod creator, would you be motivated by these bounties? As a mod user, would you want to contribute to a bounty for a feature that you would really like to have in your game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kodaxmax Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 We may accept donations or even put advertisements in our mods, but as they said we cannot charge for mods or pay gate content. Additionally the concept itself wouldn't work. Skyrim is offline, there is no way for one users bounty hunter to contact a central "bounty board" or recieive payment etc.. The best it could do is direct people to a website, in which case you might as well use the nexus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
