SSE paid script help

Just a thought I had as I work through completing some of my current mods. It seems the most daunting aspect of mod creation is the papyrus scripting aspect. I think many great ideas most likely never went anywhere due to the difficulties in understanding scripting. To me this challenge represents opportunity, what if there was a paid resource of script specialists on Nexus one could access to help make a mod happen? I have met several people on the forums who know scripting very well and I am grateful for all their help but what if someone could hire out a script master for their project to help me through the scripting process? I have been studying papyrus for about a year and I feel I barely understand the basics.

 

I have followed many tutorials, dark fox, doug hamil, Anthony Bellingham and there is a wide gulf between the "hello world' script on the creation kit wiki and actually making a quest work. Would it make sense for Nexus to have a papyrus script resource section of willing participants who might charge a fee to help with scripting?

 

Curious what everyone thinks.

Your idea is interesting. What's to stop you from hiring someone?

I just wanted to say good job starting to code at all. Every step feels small but in the end it's those small steps that add up. Through struggling comes learning. I started 10 years ago, stay a while and listen. Joking. Learning to code can be a life long journey. If you are at all interested in writing applications or even game development, I recommend learning the basics of general programming first. I learned how to code without going to school and never needed to pay for online courses either. I'd be happy to continue that discussion.

Getting back to the topic, the first thing I wonder about is financial security or legal rights. I'm not sure if it breaks some EULA. And would Nexus facilitate the practice? Or is it a freelance bidding arena with a race to the bottom. I think this idea shows the importance of networking with other developers so you can personally arrange something with someone. There's also this idea of building a team with different strengths. I'm not one for networking, so I think I would enjoy this idea if it could work.

As a scripter myself, this is something I would be interested in, although as stated above, not sure if this breaks the Bethesda EULA or not.
