This was almost a good decision until I read that verified creations for Starfield are not allowed to have patches. That just ruins the whole concept. Mods on nexus such as weapons have countless patches meant to help tune a user's mod to their preference within their load order. Why should we punish that all of a sudden just because some mod authors are looking to make some money for their hard work for once. Plus if someone is going to get a patch, they likely already have the creation.
This has the chance to heavily hurt the Starfield modding scene which is already struggling. I can't stand by this policy, it has no concrete base. I can't see any reason Starfield mod authors should be punished for next to no reason. This policy should be shelved and/or heavily reworked. Because in it's current state it's nearly nonsensical.
