[Vortex saying I have unsolved conflicts when there are none...]

There really needs to be a way to right click on the little orange bells and set Vortex to "ignore" them, preferably with an "ignore once" meaning that it would reset the "ignore" after Skyrim is launched/closed (for testing purposes) and a setting for "always ignore" where it will specifically ignore that .esm file for errors that prevent launching/running attached tools.

 

Heck, not letting tools like TES5edit or LOOT run when there is an error is already inconvenient.

[Why we can't use Patreon, and talking about donations and doing more to support mod authors]

In response to post #29456319. #30074860, #30189735 are all replies on the same post.

I guess I'm not quite understanding why Bethesda is the gating factor here. If they don't want it on their properties, that's fine. Seems like a simple if (Bethesda) {Don't show Patreon of Flattr buttons} would do the job.

 

Mods for more supportive companies could then have donations allowed through Patreon or Flattr. Assuming it does ok, that would incentivize either Bethesda to get their s*** together to support modder contributions themselves, or for them to officially bless Patreon and Flattr on the nexus in support of the modding community.

 

Just because at the moment Bethesda doesn't like it, I'm not quite seeing why the option should be taken away from the rest of the modding community that might not even be interested in modding Bethesda games.

Oh wait, that's exactly what is being discussed.

Seriously, please read the OP first, I understand what you're trying to get at, but you're quite a few points behind it, frankly.

If it's not implemented for Bethesda properties, then why should their lawyers even take an interest? The fact that Bethesda doesn't want Patreon or Flattr should have no relevance to someone wanting to mod The Witcher 3 or some other game not done by Bethesda.

Unless Bethesda somehow financially supports the nexus in some way I'm not aware.

Because Bethesda owns all the stuff modders are playing with (related to their own games of course), so they get to say what goes and what doesn't about their own stuff. That's why. That's like asking why you can't spraypaint a public bench. It's owned by the local government and sure, they let everyone use it, but ONLY within the rules and limits they've set, no more.
