I don't understand why Bethesda and/or Valve had to do this at all really. They ALREADY benefit from modding. It is ONLY through these awesome mods the community has put together that Skyrim still thrives (Skyrim has been on the top 10 for ages now, can't say that about other games. They've quickly fallen off of that position).
They already get increased sales through modding. And they've admitted themselves that modding has been beneficial for TES games. And sometimes they even take ideas from popular mods.
Why, just why isn't this enough for them? Always trying to squeeze more money from consumers.
Sigh.

No sooner had I logged out that I got half a dozen text messages letting me know "SKYUI IS GOING PAYWALL ERMAGERD!!!!" effectively forcing every single one of us to buy into this horsecrap moving forward.

I agree I think its time to dust of my old gamecube see if the nes is functioning and go back to classics there is plenty of old games I never finished back when making a story and an enjoyable experience was the goal of game makers this everything for profit and no real effort towards art and customer satisfaction is got me pretty upsetIanc1 wrote: Skyui is the same as 4.1 here on the nexus, only the crafting menu has been changed. no other changes to the mcm menu have been made. got this info from the mod maker on reddit.phantompally76 wrote: At some point (probably sooner rather than later), mod users will have to pay for the Steam version of SKYUI (remember, the version on nexus is never going to be updated again, and is effectively abandonware) in order to play any new mods created that are dependent upon the LATEST version of SKYUI.
Am I getting through to you at all? Unless mod authors make a conscientious decision to base their mods' compatibility on the current, now-unsupported version of SKYUI on the nexus instead of the maintained and supported version on Steam (which I can almost certainly guarantee they won't make that decision), then every single one of us is going to HAVE to purchase SKYUI on Steam, no matter how we feel about the entire scam. Our freedom of choice in the matter is being taken away from us (aside from piracy, which I don't condone, or abandoning modding altogether), and so many of you are too stubborn to lift your head out of the sand for 10 seconds and open your damned eyes to see it.
It is a good idea to take a break from all of this, take care. -

Your goal seems to be "try to make Bethesda respond to us". That should not be the goal.
The goal should be making sure Bethesda hears you LOUD and CLEAR and with a definite message, not a bunch of complaints about communities and the ethos of modding. What Bethesda is doing- and it seems to be working, if you just say "we tried, they won't respond" - is to ignore you in the hopes of making you go away. To patiently wait until you get bored with telling them.
Firstly, since this was announced the other day, seems like you're giving up really fast, and it seems the reason is because you didn't get instant gratification on the outcome.
Secondly, even if I assume you've done this for ten years, you're telling me "there's nothing more we can do". Sure there is, the problem is that the desired outcome wasn't more than to make somebody respond. If you expect a 'statement' to be the end-game, you had no victory strategy in mind to begin with. All that amounts to is "Bethesda states that they understand we're unhappy". Frankly, big deal!
The bottom line is that you're now talking about business matters (like it or not) and you're trying to get your desired outcome by having a company make a business decision based on your emotional response.Souperintendent wrote: It's more Valve's fault than Bethesda's.Riprock wrote: Sure, but Valve is a provider.

Of course there will be many that will blindly subscribe without thinking about those aspects, checking reviews etc. There is no real protection for the buyers other then their own common sense and others warning them.WinsomeMinotaur wrote: This is why a Curated space makes sense, where mods that have been vetted and deemed worthy are the ones that have a price tag.

As I understand it when you "sell" mods you only receive money to your steam wallet. If so, then this is worse than donations, in which you receive REAL money, and can decide to do whatever you want with it. With steam wallet money you can ONLY use it on steam, you cannot convert it to real currency. And when you do decide to buy a game with that money, it is Valve again who receives a cut from it, AGAIN.
Only the big companies benefit from this, the modders only receive pocket change. So e.g if you sell something for $5 and then deduct 75% from it, how much money do you get? Barely anything.
Why don't people get this?
This whole thing is so wrong.

@ramakgaming I second your opinion.
Back during summer I had heaps of issues. Everything from html error pages, slow downloads and whatnot. But it all seems to have been fixed by itself. And back during summer it was impossible to download even a below 1 mega file! But now everything is lightning fast. I click download and if it's a small mod it's finished in under a second! A bigger mod maybe 5 seconds.
Good job nexus!

I think the rules here are pretty common sense and straight forward to me. I have no problem with these rules.
And if you understand the rules and behave accordingly then there shouldn't be any problems. I also agree with what was said earlier in this thread, "What good are rules that don't get enforced?". Regulation is required to keep this free to use website running smoothly. If there weren't any rules and regulation then this website would disintegrate and explode.
-
I agree it would be awesome to have a simple "don't notify me again" option. I don't think it would be too hard to implement...
-
Oh, so it's sort of like a security measure? I see. Anyway, I can deal with it. Thanks for explaining it.
-
Hey, no problem. Thanks for confirming it. Maybe I should be using the "remember me" option in this forum. Also, it would be nice if someone could remove this "feature", it's very annoying, lol.
-
I don't think it is that. I only have adblock plus and a download manager installed as add-ons in my browser. I don't have this issue on other forums I visit, it's only this one. I don't use any cleaning tools like you mentioned. And also no forced expiry times..
Oh, no it happened again when I typed this post... automatically signed off.
-
Yeah I had that problem as well. But I was told here that it was caused by the time zone differences. Like during different times different mirrors were available. Not sure how true that is, but maybe ther's something to do with it. But it still felt like it favoured US servers.

Hello nexus. Is there a way to prevent me from being automatically signed out? I mean, when I'm writing a new post for example and then try to post it and then I discover I'm auto signed off. Yeah, I get annoyed by that. So is there a way to increase the time I'm logged in? I know there's "remember me" but I don't know if that will help. I don't use remember me in forums. Thank you for any help.

Well, then. Have you tried clearing the browser cache and cookies? You can clear (delete) the individual nexus cookies, you don't need to clear all browser cookies. Try my suggestion if it at all helps.

While I do not have a solution I had a similar issue yesterday. I could not access the skyrim nexus website. But after a while the issue went away. I don't know what it was. You may have the similar problem I had. I just waited it out (for me it was only a moment). Okay I said I had no solution but maybe clearing your browser cache and cookies will help?

About the new download system.. (if it's implemented again) you don't have to wait all the time for the download to start. If it doesn't start you can just close the download pop-up or refresh the browser. If it's taking an unusually long time just try again and that way it will also select another mirror. And if it's a mirror you don't want you can just refresh your browser again (or close the download pop-up). Don't know about others but that's what I did. I retried as many times until it started downloading.
-
So it is down? I checked the nexusmods.com domain at www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com to see if nexus was down, but it shows it's down? I'm confused. :confused:EDIT: It's all working now. Don't know what it was. :tongue:
-
Hmm. I'll just try again tomorrow as I'll go to bed soon. Thank you for confirming it.
-
Not sure where to put this but I think the nexus is down right now. I think it exploded due to all the traffic? Anyone else that cannot access nexus?

Those who buy premium already get a "premium" badge. IMO I think that's enough. You can already see who's premium and who's not, and in comment sections the "premium" badge is also clearly visible. There is no need for more fancy stuff, that kind of stuff should be for staff only.

I also seem to be missing 22nd July, on all game pages, (I checked Skyrim, OB and Morrowind). Did we miss a day?
-
While I am not a permium member myself I have noticed the download speeds are rather.. crappy, shall we say. But still even if I am not a premium member it shouldn't be that low, isn't download speed capped at 1024 kb/s, right? I don't seem to ever reach that cap, even though I should.
Also the download speeds are extremely unstable and countinually fluctuate. It goes anywhere from 400 kb/s and then decreases to 200, 100 and finally 0 b/s, lol. And then after a while it starts downloading again with the same procedure, 400, 200 and 0. Do you guys also have a similar problem?
-
That makes sense I suppose. I was awake late last night so I guess the European servers just weren't available. Today was a way better day. It found EU servers more often and even some US servers weren't that bad. I guess I should just stick to downoading in the afternoon and/or eavning, heh. Thank you for clearing it up how it works.
Also, one last question: What has happened to the European mainland servers? Mirrors like Amstardam etc. (can't remember if there were others). It only seems to connect to the various London mirrors. I'm wondering if they exist anymore. As I said the mainland is closer to where I live than GB is.
