Cool stuff. Thanks Nexus!

Cool stuff. Thanks for the interview. Chesko, you beat me on Nexus sign-up by three months! (You July 2006, me October 2006) Anyway, I really need to create a good SMIM patch for Wearable Lanterns...I should do that.

Thanks so much Nexus team! I have sworn off modding Fallout 4 because I just want to play the game. However, that was also my plan for Skyrim until an hour in when I realized I had a duty to all humankind to fix Bethesda's stuff. Ha!

Thanks for the information Dark0ne. Like many of us, I've tried to forget about all this stuff. The Bethesda.net stuff is quite concerning...but that's another topic for another day. Thanks again for the Nexus, the best modding site around!

I will also say welcome BlindJudge! Nexus is such a fantastic site. I can't thank Dark0ne enough for his great support for all use mod users and modders. Skyrim has immeasurably benefited from such a wonderful site. SMIM loves Nexus! I look forward to even more awesome stuff with Fallout 4! What is best in life? To mod!

Hi everyone, I want to make the Whiterun trellis fully 3D and found a great texture displayed on the Shaders 2015 mod page but the mod author doesn't know where it came from. Can anyone tell me what texture mod this is from? Thanks for the help. Reply here or PM me if you know!

Thanks much Dark0ne for the open and honest information! Actually, the fact that I can give you 5% of the revenue from Steam Workshop has factored strongly into me deciding to put SMIM up on Steam Workshop as a paid item. I know this wasn't your intent probably, but actually this will be very interesting to see how mods like mine fair, having both a free Nexus version and paid SW version. I honestly really like the idea that users can always find refuge on Nexus and get SMIM for free. Others, who maybe value convenience can pay for SMIM on Steam Workshop. Sadly, not all modders will do like I am doing and provide equal service on both platforms. Anyway, we are fortunate to have someone of your even and sensible disposition running Nexus, no kidding.

I do sincerely thank everyone for their opinions. Talk about a tricky issue! Just to close my thoughts on this, I have submitted SMIM to paid Steam Workshop, asking $2-3.50 (or more because SW forces you to show the insanely high prices). After 2 days of reading and thinking, I don't make the decision lightly. To sum up my thoughts: SMIM will always remain free and up-to-date on Skyrim Nexus. However, I view Steam Workshop as a way for more casual Skyrim players to pay for the best mods out there. The money I (hopefully) make will help motivate me to mod SMIM, which directly benefits the free Nexus users. I also made a video about this that is posted on the paid Steam Workshop page (not yet visible, awaiting approval of Valve).

If I charge on SW, that doesn’t impact Nexus. @hfontanez: yeah, it is funny how quick we will drop $5 or $10 on fast food/coffee/beer for ourselves, but suddenly pause at $2-4 for a significant mod or something. @digitaltrucker: my understanding is I still retain full control over the mod itself, meaning I can put it on Nexus for free without an issue. All that I lose is the ability to remove it from Steam Workshop since that would injure someone who has already paid for it. That makes perfect business sense.

In response to post #24638984. #24639254, #24639604 are all replies on the same post. The 25/75 split is irksome and sort of condescending. At least 50/50 would create an appearance of equality. As it is now, it looks like modders are the dirty peasants begging for table scraps. Anyway, being a dirty peasant, I guess I can't complain??? ;)

In response to post #24638639. First, thanks for donating to your favorite mods, on behalf of modders I thank you. ;) Second, I guess Bethesda's legal team was blinded by "it's our game, our profit". Hence, the horrible 25%/75% split. We aren't talking about big money either. I bet if you put the revenue mods generate up against the sales Skyrim still brings in, the mods are minor pocket change. Again, a system that rewards the best mods and promotes them to paid status would be great I think. Let the community vote for mods that deserve paid status...but I could be wrong.

"Get a job" - always such wonderful, positive, and compassionate advice! You know what is ironic, I noticed at least one paid mod on Steam Workshop has screenshots up showing SMIM objects in the background. Naturally, many users use SMIM, but this is yet another interesting question...posting screenshots on your paid mod that feature other modders content.

In response to post #24617454. If someone offers me a way to make a few hundred dollars over the next month and this in NO WAY hinders your access to my mod currently, why is it wrong? For those of us modders who have made clear we will never, ever remove or limit our Nexus mod versions, why doesn't it fly with you if I let some well-off Steam users pay me a meager fee? My main concern is the payout ratio since it is so one-sided.

Thanks much to all for the thoughts! I'm withholding using SW for now. I want a Mod Greenlight system that recognizes ESTABLISHED mods like SMIM. But that probably will never happen. Sigh...we'll see. Thanks. @marthgun: 25% is crazy low. The split should be the other way around since Valve/Bethesda already make HUGE sums from the sale of the games themselves. That is chiefly why I haven’t uploaded SMIM to SW. It does feel like they are taking big advantage of me, unlike Dark0ne who isn’t some uber-rich guy and lets me keep all my donation money. @Blitz54: waiting is a wise move. I plan to wait, despite the feeling that I’m the dumb one for not jumping in and laughing as crazy people pay me money…which I only get 25% off. I just don’t like being extorted or extorting others…which SW sort of feels like ATM. @Farvahar: well said. @dreamer2008: yes, it is the bad apples that spoil it for us. I will never hide SMIM updates behind paywalls. Even if it would possibly bring in more income for the small price of my soul, ha!
