In response to post #24731234. #24739424, #24769764 are all replies on the same post. I don't see it being a too bad idea. For me the paid modding system was an awful idea for skyrim because of things like SkyUI becoming commercial. But if the system allows commercial mods from the start, all the community will learn to make mods dependent only on other free mods and avoid dependences from the commercial ones. I still don't like that, but if done well it can be just an alternate community instead of an armageddon. It works pretty well for other games like Flight Simulator. For Flight Simulator you have several well known distributors of commercial planes with high quality, and hundreds of free versions of the same planes, maybe not that detailed or with a generic cockpit. Or maybe you need to look for the cockpit as a separate mod. It's similar for terrain mods. And both things coexist pretty well.
