    Imagine trying out hundreds of mods before you find out the ones you like, it will cost you hundreds or even more if you have to buy them. that is modding kill for me and i will just stay away from such games.

    Anyways i hope that at least they stop pooping on Mod name and call it what it is - Third party DLC

    and if you currently spend $1 you can try out every mod there is.... and $1 for 17 days is very little


    Problem is that all the refund ends up in your Steam Wallet. While the Modders don't have to deal with that problem.

    It just shows how lazy Bethesda is.


    Having to keep an eye on the Workshop in case of thef leaves no spare time for Modding even. It becomes a fulltime job.

    Hoping it will all work itself out with altruism isn't going to cut it. Furthermore, we're only talking about the current generation of modders. There are almost no people who were modding games for Morrowind who are still modding Skyrim. The torch gets passed and new modders take it up. Yeah, we might have some modders who believe in the old ways and will offer it for free, but with time, they will move on with their lives, and a new generation will take over, a generation that's been raised on microtransactions, DLC, greed, and selfishness.

    And that's the end of free modding forever.
    sojourner22 wrote: Wet and Cold is set default at $5, but if you select the drop down arrow it allows you to pay as little as $1 for it.... a lot of these mods are listed as pay what you want. It just requires a little bit of extra searching.

    That said, the Midas Magic gold minimum price is $3 for like... 10 extra spells. No.

We'll be working to make donations more prominent here without trying to make it too in your face annoying for users still. That way, 100% of the donations will go to the user.

    Brumbek wrote: @Dark0ne: thanks again for being awesome and making this site. I don't thank you enough. My current internal debate is...SMIM will always be free on Skyrim Nexus. But if Steam lets me charge a small fee, should I not let Steam users pay me? Steam users seem to love giving money for cosmetics...and SMIM is like the best cosmetic upgrade to Skyrim IMO, hehehe...anyway, I will never, EVER remove my mods from your site. Ever.
    Dark0ne wrote: I've had lots of mod authors contact me on Skype about it, they seem to feel like they need to apologise to me or that they owe me an explanation. You don't! The modding industry (excluding the aforementioned F2P Steam games, where it's already happened) is about to go from a $0 a year industry to a multi-million dollar industry in the space of a year. Obviously it makes sense that the mod authors are compensated for their work accordingly, if they so wish.

    The only thing that annoys me in all this is that there's no way for a competitor to come in and undercut that batcrap crazy 25/75 revenue share. And that's not me lamenting the fact that I can't do it, oh god no, that's far too much drama and stress for me to bother with, but the fact no one else can come along and do better due to Valve's lock-down, that's the thing that really annoys me in all of this. Used to be that people used the best platform for the job. And if you wanted to be that platform you had to analyse all the other platforms and try and come up with something better, something people really wanted to use. That's out the window, now.

    25/75...my god.

    I understand if Bethesda want a share, because, you know, most mods are using their assets in first place, but Valve... this feel wrong.
    Even Apple doesnt take that much in Itunes.


    Its the 75% that smells, Brum.

    I have no doubt people want to pay for SMIM, just not thru Steam Workshop because of the 75%.

    TenderHooligan wrote: @aceventura

    Yeah. I get people being mad, but I saw those comments on W&C and felt disgusted. If those are the sort of entitled and immature people most mod authors have to deal with all the time, then I can understand why they'd want some $ for it.

    @FiendishGhoul...I've seen some of the virulent language here on Nexus as well. Certainly not as bad as on Steam, but it's there. Expect to see a lot of ban reports coming in today.

    I for one won't be buying his mods, or ANY mods on the workshop if there isn't a corresponding release here on the Nexus as I don't use workshop mods, I download from here in most cases as I make use of the Nexus categories in Mod Organizer to keep my mods organized

    Well.. Wet and Cold uses SKSE assets en have no persmission to be Sold.

    It's a major flaw in the system.

    Manual download broken.

    What mods? Give a link. Which servers?

    The ones I tested seemed to be working fine.

     

    Any Mod, Any Server.

     

    Anyways, it seems to work better when let the Server List open in a new Window.

     

    It also seems to happen when the Edit Window for files pop up, the Submit button doesn't do anything when clicking on it.

    Manual download broken.

    Skyrim Nexus.

     

    It's still not working as it should. None of the normal servers i click work as normal download. Can only download mods tagged as DL with Manager.

     

    I tried using compatability mode, but that makes no difference.

     

    I'm using IE10.
