-Create a prominent donation button next to endorse button. No more pop-ups though.
-Create titles, with coloring depended on the donation. Let people know who supported which mod.
-Make the nexus profiles a little more interactive as if they were a mini-game themselves.

Any side-effects from "pointing out" donators and having a shiny big donation button will be overshadowed by the benefits. Good modders may never have the chance to maintain/create a mod because they also have to work for food. Give them an extra motivation!

Not that I'm complaining but I am curious as to how modding FO4 is even remotely possible at this point in time. Let's hope Bethesda learned from the bugfest that was the Skyrim CK & fixed the issue that would cause mods to have deleted navmeshes.

Once the kit comes out, we'll be seeing more mods that need scripting coming out.

Thanks for the clarification vertex23. I didn't join the PC modding scene fully until March 2013 when I made the switch from the disastrous PS3 version of Skyrim to the PC version. I'll likely wait until the CK is released before I start modding FO4 though.

FO4 functionality in NMM will be added in a future update to NMM. Said update isn't likely to come anytime soon though. The NMM programmers have to figure out the inner workings of FO4 & since it's a brand new game, that will take awhile. Hope this helps. Peace.

And I will buy FO4 only after the editor arrives. I do not play vanilla Bethesda games, they are far too easy for me. So that I can mod it myself for my own taste.

I made that error once with oblivion. I was almost bored to death. The problem is, that the vanilla versions of their games are only for casual gamers. The second good thing is, that Bethesda had fixed some of the bugs after that time, and the fans can take over bug fixing, after the Mod editor is released.

That's the second reason I do not buy these games any longer on release day. Bethesda isn't able to fix most of their bugs, even if their life would depend on it. They are better than Obsidion, who showed cleary their lack of talent for bugfixing, even critical ones, in New Vegas But nonetheless, it's annoying for me.

The third point is, that I get the game at a lesser price, after that time. But that's only a bonus, I would buy it anyway.

But one point let me hesitate the most. After they tried to sell 3rd party DLC aka. paid mods, I am not so sure about the freedom of the next Editor any longer. And I definitly won't buy a game with an editor that includes DRM! That is what I fear the most. Edited November 12, 2015 by mkess

I agree.

Besides, a donate button near the download button makes NO sense, because you have to test the mod first.

I will make much more sense if you are endorsing the mod. Because at that point you are sure, the mod is a worthwhile one.

And make it easy, giving some predefined values for donating, starting with 1$. It's like a tip in a restaurant. It's very easy, and people a likely to pay 1$ or 2$ without thinking about it.

Maybe there should be one button, that gives the autor 1$ and endorses at the same time, making it very easy to pay at least a little tip, while endorsing the mod? I bet, that would even appeal to the people, who normaly don't pay anything.

This is the point, there I am most likely to make a donation. But I will never ever make a donation while downloading a new mod. Maybe it should be worked into the Nexus Mod Manager, too? Edited November 12, 2015 by mkess

It does help. Thanks for letting me know my NMM isn't broken!

Exactly. A brief pop up just before you download is usually quickly skipped by someone who wants to download and test the mod. However after the user tests it and goes back to the nexus, excited, wanting to endorse that mod, then he should also see an option to donate.

And what you say about reminding people that even a small tip like an 1$ donation would be significant, by having this small prefixed amount to the donation button, is very true and will make almost everyone consider donating.
