In all seriousness; Thank you. Your mods are amazing; improving the textures some people would consider small but which actually have a massive impact on Skyrim's visuals as they are so frequent in the world.

If I can make your game playing more fun then I'm rewarded enough and it was all completely worth it.

Thank you. As someone who loves your mods!

I know of and am grateful that there will always be people like you who will just mod for the spirit of it, and not to further themselves in any material way.

That said, I doubt that (if anything in the past has been any indication) that the cut being taken from these mod 'sales' will be enough for a modmaker to make a living. Maybe the nr.1 and assuming the Paid Workshop thing actually takes off.

I won't divert further into this because doing so might cause a whole debate to appear which might leave a sour aftertaste to what was intended to be a word of thank and praise.

There are many great mods for Skyrim but I would never pay for them because I have already payed for the Main game and the DLCs and free mods were a part of it. The ones responsible for this just saw that some mods are really popular and smelled the money which they could get from them so they made this. I don't know how this will end but I hope that most mods will remain free and that it wont destroy the modding community.
