on average i run my modded skyrim around 50 mods, its mostly the essentials ECE, retexures, character replacers, couple armor mods, and so on. Considering just the essentials, im literally using just 50 mods and the way pricing goes on Steam (aroundish a $1), i would be paying an extra 50 dollars or more with these mods. Later on of course i would be modding it heavily by then i would end up paying over $150 plus for mods. And i doubt anyone else wound want this. Im completely against for paying mods. Some dont work they're supposed or break your game entirely. If modders want payment for their stuff of which i will never buy, its totally up to them but at least dont pull your stuff out of nexus or stop updating them because of this. Also its a complete BS that the pay-cut to the modders is 25%.
