In response to post #29173369. good reports, thanks :) surely, Bethesda's mod sales in steam seemed also very negligible. "Even this weekend, when Skyrim was free for all, mod sales represented less than 1% of our Steam revenue." -- from www.bethblog.com/2015/04/27/why-were-trying-paid-skyrim-mods-on-steam/ and more, somewhat with using the spiteful mods would be prospected also in furtuer, like the TES4:Oblivion's rating penalty by ESRB in 2006; "The Topless Mod debuted on the Oblivion Source fansite in March 2006," "to 'protect our innocent population from seeing those evil dirty things 50% of them possess personally anyways." "Though the Topless Mod didn't change anything but textures on female NPCs" -- from www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/issues/issue_101/561-The-Breasts-That-Broke-The-Game/ and, the radical criticism from the goverment against the videogame's expression with using the Sandy Hook very strange incident in December 2012. i thought that the paid mods would produse many troubles, after all...

is mod an orignal art or not? personally, i wouldn't almost think so when looking over all mods. because there are a lot of the diverted textures, diverted meshes, diverted bone skeletons, fansub mods and adult mods. and those mods have been certainly raised up the game's sales, and name values itself for these decades. Thus, the strained and restricted conception as an orignal art, would involve the harmful things for the game's expression and mod's itself in future. when it comes to the fansub mods, they have many problems of the copyright and patent material things, as the paid mods. if TTIP (europe: Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership) and TPP (asia: Trans Pasific Partnership) have come to an agreement, many country's laws of copyright would be widely changed more more strictly, and it would affect too bad for the recent grown mod communities and in future, i thought. please investigate TTIP (europe), and TPP (asia) for yourself, if you are a mod fan and considering about it. you'd soon understand that the easing of restrictions are not good thing for most civilians in each country, if you see the Michael Moore's movie "Capitalism: a love story" and "SiCKO", which are well drawing the tragic of USA's pitiful civilians as the result of NAFTA, oligopoly and globalism by multinational corporations. i don't want see the ruins of the mod's community, after being invoked the strict regulation law against the recent many and free mods communities, would be caused by these monetisation mods things. the paid mods would be involved other compatiblity problems of the DRM (Digital Rights Management) systems, and bring about the continuous conflicts of the many arguments each modders. (well, please glance the price of the licenses about each game develop engines, then you'd understand why some modders are against the paid mods, and you'd see the dangerous factors when gotten sued to hell).

thanks for nexus's great consciences for modders. here you could find the japanese bit-translation of this important nexus news. http://anago.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/game/1430032881/375-381 about the crowd-funding for the personal mods and the Bethesda planning paid mod, both of them would involve various problems, i thought, might be caused some tragic things... when it comes to the paid mod, and the forcing someone to donate or pay for mod, = infered as the Fair-Use been not approved, if infringed = gotten sued to hell by other copyright holders or police in japan, July 2014, a female artist Ms.Rokudenashiko-san have been arrested by the Japanese police, by distributing the somewhat obscene 3D mesh data with using the "Campfire donation" crowd-funding systems. Sadly, this means, when it comes to the Skyrim mod, for example, the creating and uploading some adult mods of the CBBE or UNP or 7base Body or naked outfits something, with using the paid mod or crowd-funding system, would be becoming more too dangerous in some countries which have strict laws about the censorship of adult contents (in some europe, eurasia, asia, africa so on...). well, about the paypal donation, currently it can not be available to send donations from singapore and japan, etc... So, how about adding the web-money point donation? (i don't hear any good reputation about the bitcoin and happened some it's incidents. otherwise, the web-money are very popular in japan). The web-money point is hard to re-exchange to the real money itself for personal, although, it's point can be freely used in steam to buy any desired games in many countries. Thus, the person, who lives outside of the paypal donation, would be able to send its point as donation for mod authors, and the mod authors would be helped freely to use it for purchasing games in steam or online game tickets. and more, it would be also connected for the help of entire game developers and industries. Although, i'm also a little mod author about tes, fo and other games, sometimes my created fansub mods to open public in other web site with spent many times, and personally, i'd never & not want to be rewarded any for my created mods. Again, thanks for nexus's consciences, and this wise decision.
