I will be glad if you will be able to implement such features with "protective" option enabled by default.

There's a lot to read, so I'll just cut it out:

This box is ticked by default. You will need to untick it if you want to allow mod authors to profit off your work.

Based Dark0ne already has it covered.

Second last paragraph in the article above:

This box is ticked by default. You will need to untick it if you want to allow mod authors to profit off your work.

It already is.

maybe for TES, but other games did well without nexus

Personally I think (and have always thought) Nexus should simply make a tipjar app where you can (if you want) tip the artist if they link it to their paypal account or something similar to that.
That way you aren't getting bogged down into legal issues with paying for mods which may have dmca issues, etc..simply giving a personal little reward to someones hard work..gives modders incentive to make good works, and everyones happy.

Mods of the month getting bonuses are ok, but some people may find far more enjoyment out of some obscure mod that was overlooked a year ago verses the latest elf clothing that got popvoted.

Thanks for keeping the Nexus clean of paywalls - otherwise I would have done the same as some other people : remove my poo from the nexus (and probably leave the community forever too, which I'm really thinking about for the Steam Workshop...).

Do you plan to continue your mods in nexus?
Really like the guns you made it!

Maybe it's just change. But before the concept of being paid people made mods because of their vision of the game not the bottom line.

It's not the community I fell in love with 7 years ago, before I even had a nexus account.

i think people are overacting a bit. modding isnt dead, no one is making a living selling mods, this only on steamworkshop

Out of curiosity I turned on the donation thing and it shows up on my profile page. I looked at turning it on for one of my mods and I just couldn't bring myself to do it. I'm not sure why, I just couldn't.

Ithlia wrote: Go to one of their mods, click on their name where it says Uploaded by, right under total views. That should take you to their profile page. The donation thing is on the right.

teppic1 wrote: Ah, found it. Thanks :) It's odd that it's nowhere on the mod page.

icecreamassassin wrote: It got toggled off during the update. I had to manually turn it back on for my mod

Ithlia wrote: Well the mod author has to do that manually as well.

and your welcome :)

If nothing else the Steam news may mean that authors here get more donations. I hadn't donated before, but I'm going to donate a little to several authors now.

Even if you remove from steam workshop...anyone that has subscribed to it can still view and download it...basically, it's Valve's property now.

Yet everyone's running around screaming "I QUIT!" or "IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD!" Get a grip, people....

LtRhapthorne wrote: You're welcome to think that. But modding is dead to me now.

Some of us can't afford video games in general much less paying for mods. I'm not saying its the end of the modding community as we know it, but I'm legitimately concerned that a mod I want to install will suddenly have a five to ten dollar pricetag. That concerns me, but yeah, let's wait till the dust settles and see where this goes. I am happy that modders are getting recognition, but this should be a donation system rather than charging up front...but that's just my opinion (feel free to ignore it) Edited April 24, 2015 by AngryCupcake91
