vakkee Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Hello! I've been a student for a long time enjoying modding my games and playing while under a tight budget for a several years now. Graduation and work life is ahead which means the budget will not be that tight anymore but I realised that the lifetime membership has disappeared somewhere. Is there any plans on getting that possibility back as a yearly membership costing around 74 euros is qutie a task when you download mods quite infrequently but would like to enjoy the benefits of premium when the downloads happen. I think the new pricing system is driving away the new modders and us who have been modding their games but do not have the lifetime memberships or didn't buy it when it was actually very affordable. I do understand that expanding and operating servers have their costs but as it seems the commenting on new prices have been locked down the reception has not been positive. Hopefully you guys can find an alternative for us who want to support you but not with the current option available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBizkit Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 There are no plans to bring back Lifetime membership as an option that can be purchased. That being said, it is still available for mod authors who'd like to exchange their DP (Donation Points) for it. Before retiring Lifetime we gave our users a heads up and many did take the chance to purchase it before it became unavailable. As we explained before, the option stopped being economically viable a long time ago and in the interest of us being able to provide our services on one hand, and us continuing to support mod authors through our mod rewards system on the other, we had to phase it out and adjust our prices for the first time in over 8 years.

showler Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 If you are an infrequent user, purchasing it a month at a time, only when you intend to use it, might be a more economical option. If you are spending more than a month downloading mods then you should probably consider actually playing the game instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vakkee Posted November 17, 2021 Author Share Posted November 17, 2021 All the current options seem very unattractive for my kind of a user. So infrequent that I have totally missed all the announcements and last time downloaded a mod over a year ago. I do not mod that often or play heavily modded games too much so the yearly payment of 74 euros is out of question. As of now the the mothly price in euros and vat included is almost 8 euros. As I said, I fully understand the price increases and modifying your payment methods as you are a business with ambition to grow and support the devs. Therefore I'm also requesting something else if the lifetime membership will never come back. 8 euros a month is the price of Disney plus, HBO Max and almost Netflix subscription a month. I'd love to support the devs too but in this context the amount is just too much in my honest opinion as the mods battle for the same free time as streaming services. Perhaps a lower tier membership option with a more bandwidth and more simultaneous downloads but in a cheaper package than the premium membership.

showler Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Create a mod and get 1000 downloads and you'll get some of those perks for free. Get enough DP and you can buy that lifetime membership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyYou Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 Mods that make breasts larger (and that's all they do) tend to be rather popular. You will likely have enough DP to purchase lifetime in a month or two. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just like to install my few things and play the games. Therefore the possibility of a straight out payment would be easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would still prefer paying than trying to learn a completely new craft ð Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0z2y Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 I wonder if someone like the OP who isn't a mod author can commission a mod so that in time can earn enough DP to buy the Lifetime Membership... I know some sites that allow members to post commissioned stuff as long as they credit the author. In the 2D and 3D art, there are even some pro artists doing commissions with licenced characters. I wonder what is the Nexus Mods view on that... is it considered as making money with mods if you commissioned something to share it for free after?
