What I would like to see is "donation" buttons. In "curated" workshops, why not allow users to donate how much they think the mod is worth? Instead of "selling" the mod, allow the mod authors to create their mods and then allow people to donate? In this way, the mod authors still get to 'compete' for the most endorsements, the most sponsoring, the most page views. Falskaar for instance "deserves" money, because it's amazing. People could donate to the author/s of their favorite mods in the hope that the author would continue to mod for the game they love. Developers could do this as well - create more 'mods/dlc' and continue to develop for a game that still makes them tons of money through donations - donations that would say just how much the gamers still love the content. But like many - the idea of being forced to purchase mods for real money bothers me. Mods are, by definition, user-created additions to a game. The pandora's box is there. What happens when a mod author creates a sub par mod, but gets it to 'look nice' for people to buy. Then those people spend their money, only to find out that the mod is trash? They have 'wasted' their money without any real ability to test it for themselves - to make sure that it works correctly with their game. For instance - i run with a lot of texture mods, and my system handles it just fine. But a friend with a similar system might run into stability problems, even though our systems are nearly the same. No matter what they do, they might not be able to get the same mod order to work correctly. If they had to buy those mods, they've lost their money because their system just couldn't take it, even though 'logically' it should have been possible. This isn't a problem so much with developer driven DLC (though that does happen). This is a pandora's box that makes me very, very leery. And like some have stated - I can very easily see certain companies making it impossible for their games to be modded outside of those curated workshops. I would never buy those games again, and I can only hope those who love mods would do the same.

I haven't been able to get CFF to work... when I enable more than 2gb, Steam says "error 51" when I launch skyrim. Very annoying.
