I want to sponsor modders to create the mods I like

[Arantheal]

 

 

I dont wanted to offend someone!!! I just asked if its possible and 'legal'. And it shouldn't sound like 'Do it, cause I paid you ... you're my slave now' I mean dude wtf??.

Furthermore there are so much good mods in work currently and if I can help'em with a payment its great. In my opinion it honors their work and it honors the modder. But if I do the same for a special mod I want to have its bad ... only cause it wasnt the modders idea? Also the modder can accept it or not ... he dont have to!

 

 

It is best to just stop reading anytime you see Zanity's name and just scroll on down to the next person.

 

He is offended by anything and everything and just wants to spread negativity. Nothing you said was offensive, so don't feel bad about his response. *I didn't read what he said though, I learned not to make that mistake a long time ago*

 

Thanks for the advise, good to know :) Trolls are everywhere i'll ignoere him now :D

Zanity, oh, just change your name to Insanity. Or just "Always Wrong".

 

From the EULA:

 

You are only permitted to distribute the New Materials, without charge (i.e., on a strictly non-commercial basis) (except as set forth in Section 5 below)

 

However, that doesn't apply to stuff made outside the CK,like models and textures. Fair? Not really, but that's what we're given to work with.

 

Unsolicited donations are alright thoigh as there's no suggestion of commercialisation if done properly.

You can by law make models or textures or music or write stories or make concept art for people for money.

 

But to the best of my knowledge the Nexus site rules do not allow you to offer to pay people for anything on this website. I could be wrong though, I am not an expert of rules.

Hey, sometimes I want a unique character or a special mod but unfortunately I can't find the char I'm searching for on the Nexus sites nor the mod I want. So here I need your help to creat me the mods or the char I like and I'll pay you for your work.

 

I know Bethesda has forbidden to pay for mods but what if I pay for the mod creation and the mod will be free for all at the nexus page? Is this allowed?

 

Does someone has experience with mod sponsoring?

 

Is anyone interested?

 

No, you cannot make donations in exchange for files.

 

 

Donations are classed as completely voluntary monetary transactions that yield no gain for the donator. That means that donations should only ever be offered as a way of thanking other users and never in exchange for files or updates to said files.

[Arantheal]

But I dont want to pay for the mod per se I just want to finance the development :D

 

What about this?

A mod who isn't made with CK, only textures, 3D models or a char and is developed by a modder and financed by me and atleast published at Nexus. Is this allowed?

Do not solicit services from other Nexus members in exchange for monetary compensation or promise of such compensation in connection with content that falls within the scope of a game publishers EULA. For example, this means that you may not recruit modders with the promise of monetary compensation to create a custom .ESP file for you or alter game content that is subject to Bethesdas EULA governing the use of their assets and the Creation Kit.

Ah ok. So its definitively not allowed. Thanks for the informations guys :)

Ah ok. So its definitively not allowed. Thanks for the informations guys :smile:

But i guess asking on the request forum is always an option, if you are lucky someone likes your idea and makes it for free for you

Out of pure curiosity would you mind stating the reason for this rule? I can't think of a good reason why users would be disallowed from commissioning the work of mod authors. Im not saying the rule is bad or trying to challenge it, maybe im just over looking something rather obvious, but im just genuinely curious as to the reasoning behind it and figured you might know more.

 

Thanks in advance if you end up answering dante.
