Commissions, Donations, Requests, etc. legality questions

Hey folks.

 

So, I know it is against Bethesda's EULA and against Nexus's Terms and Policies for a modded to accept money in return for creating a mod (unless they're in the creation kit??).

 

But, donations are allowed.

 

So, say I wanted to have a mod made. If I were to say "I will donate to the creators if this mod is created",would that be against anyones rules?

 

What about "I am more likely to donate to creators of mods that fulfill the following criteria: _____." ?

 

I have ideas that Id like to see made into reality (that I lack the skillset to do myself), and I would like to contribute to creators who make mods that do things that Id like to be done, but I dont wanna get sued or banned.

That is usually seen as a solicitation and is not allowed.

 

Essentially, you're asking "how can I break the rules and get away with it?"

Ok. Fair enough, I just wanted to know where exactly the like in the sand was drawn.

 

So I guess my next question is, in contrast to the mod requests board here, which feels an awful lot like shouting into the void, is there a place where I can find creators who are looking for ideas?

[showler]

Not sure. Most people make mods for fun, so the best you can usually hope for is that your idea strikes someone as something fun/challenging to do.

[GlytchMeister]

Darn.

 

Well, ok.
