It is a Legit post from the unfortunate Midas Magic Evolved team that happened to get caught in the blast radius of my mistakes. Here's what I posted on the thread.
So, First this post is from the Midas Magic Evolved team. Not me. It's a different, unaffiliated mod. They picked up development when I dropped out when my son was born. They don't deserve the hate, this is on me. I've been talking to them since the NDA has been lifted about releasing all the new content I created to them as well.
Second, I'm sorry. Bethesda reached out to me (twice) and it appeared to all of us that this was a good idea instead of a terrible mistake. Valve is killing the program and refunding the money. They may still pay those of us who contributed. If they do, I'm giving it to charity, split between American Cancer Society and my local church.
The pop-up message, also a bad idea. It has always been my intent to have a free version of Midas Magic available. When Steam released the paid mods, I also released an update to the free one as well with 5 of the 20 new spells available. I wanted to make sure that if anyone switched between the free version or the paid (upgrade or refund), that it wouldn't break their saves and they could keep playing.
To make this happen, I left all the new spells that were in the Gold Edition also in the Free one. I removed them from the spells books and they aren't advertised as officially part of the Mod. But they're buried in the Free version.
So as to not cheat the Paying Customers On a few of the better Spells, I put in some code that displays a notice occasionally asking that they buy the mod. Dumb Idea, I didn't consider the number of folks that would PSB and not see the difference. I took it out but by then it was too late.
So, I'm sorry. I actually applied for a job at Bethesda years ago and didn't get it. So when they reached out to me it was an opportunity to prove myself. The money was not the objective to me. I still thank them and Valve for the consideration.
I'm not posting this for sympathy. I'm posting to take ownership of my mistakes. Hopefully this also helps the community get past it. -
You're best chance at getting help would be to post this on the mod's comments page - http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=3413 - or on the mod troubleshooting forum - http://www.thenexusforums.com/index.php?/forum/421-skyrim-mod-troubleshooting/ -
There was a short time where there was a formid conflict in Midas Magic. Try the 0.06 version. If that doesn't work, leave it installed but uncheck it from the "Data Files".

I think you're looking for Midas Magic. :)
Could have been the Hilarity mod.

Here's a new Idea. How about a category for Spells. Or maybe Enchantments. Or you could do a "Spells and Enchantments" category. - :D
Are you for real Midas Magic?
in Skyrim LE

Thanks for the comment. I don't mind people disagreeing with what I did. I did it mostly out of my own broken sense of humor without understanding the gravity of the situation. I really did it to poke fun at the whole paid mods thing as a more light-hearted wtf. When the entire internet spiralled out of control it came across as mean, selfish, evil, spiteful because the entire situation was magnified 1000 fold. Had I seen that coming, you bet I would've done things differently.
Really thank you. You're one of the very few that has been so kind. I feel sorry for us all with respect to that. I'm grateful you took the time and understand my situation. I wish I had the time to keep modding. Midas was so far behind. Bethesda reached out to me twice. I had to put some other work on hold to help with this that honestly I could barely afford to do so you can imagine my disappointment on how this all turned out XD
Thank you again.
