As for why the Nexus bans content which portrays the activities usually partaken in by teenagers, which can be found in other games with teenagers, and in the Harry Potter movies themselves as portrayed by their teen actors, don't ask me, I wouldn't know. Yeah and we should ask why most mods for JRPG here on Nexus have not been banned already.

Many users here seem to think that a modder is simply a bot who provide a file, answer questions, help users, and make updates. Why a bot would want to get retribution? This is not work, this is just Internet! Internet is just a matter of entertainment and sharing! I had the chance to make mods which became popular (at a point that even Bethesda noticed my work), and I'm still thanksfull to the communauty for that. But after the paid mod story (which I lived from the inside), I realized that there was a deep misundertanding between popular modders and users. Creating and supporting a popular mod is incredibly time consuming. The more users download your mod, the more you have to answer questions, provide support, and ultimately the more you try to give your best to take requests and to improve the mod. Making updates for a mod is as difficult and time consuming as creating the mod itself. It's an endless work. Believe me or not, most of modders have a real life with a full-time job. Some have a wife/husband, some have children. And they have only 24 hours per day. Just like anybody else. Four months ago, I realized that many users here and on the Workshop didn't even think about this, and were so selfish: "Mods are free! Mods mean sharing! I don't want to spend money for mods!..." But where are mods coming from? They come from the free time sacrificed, the countless hours some people spend to create them, with their heart and soul, without any other purpose than the pleasure of sharing their passion. Doesn't this deserve a form of retribution if you like their work? I don't have to justify myself about why I spend my free time on modding and why I chose to sell my mod on Steam. I don't have to explain why I think paid mods was not the so-called worst idea of the century. I'm a creator, so I create. What I'm doing with my creations, this is my business. Some people understand, some people don't. (Sorry if my english is not as perfect as I would like).

In response to post #28555414. Nice and fair idea. My Pure Waters page has more than 3 millions views (just like most of top 50 mods). If it was a youtube video and I was a youtuber, I think I would get a nice amount of money with advertising. Nexus mostly lives because of advertising, so why not share these revenue with modders who generates millions of pages visited and generated click? That's an interesting approach.

I hope I could make a version of Pure Waters/Weather for Witcher 3 with this tool...

Everything that Dark0ne have said about Service Providers is true. I've myself chosen to allocate the 5% part from Valve to Nexus. Because this community is great. So great that no one here has came to me and insulted me because of my paid mod. Actually users here have shown me their support, which is absolutely amazing regarding all the haters on Steam.

In response to post #12445910. #12455005, #12459020, #12460295, #12461435, #12462140, #12465570, #12467460, #12467845 are all replies on the same post. I've added controller support with xpadder, and it's surprisingly very playable.
