Kitexx Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Ah! A lovely interview. I loved the Forgotten City but...I don't remember if I endorsed it after I downloaded it... I should probably do that now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Money destroys art. Creating for monetary gain is necessary for some, but it is also enslaving. When you start paying the bills with money made from your art, the Bean Counters start to own you. Then the ad panderers move in, making you part of the machine, and turning the beauty you've created into a wh*%#. Artists who create solely for the love of creation enrich the world with beauty in its the purest form! Nothing is more valuable than that. I toast and cheer all Nexus hobbyists and enthusiasts!

TheDarkHorseDan Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Hi, this is definitely not the place to request this information but here goes. I have a scripting question as I'm doing a new world mod. All I want to do is make an actor die when a quest stage is set to 30 for example. Any tips?

Part of the stink was that more than a few of the mods that tried/wanted to go "pay for", would have been violating the open source licenses they were using for some of the software that was used to create (and within the mods themselves) that don't allow for commercial use under any circumstance.This on top of the the parts where as soon as Valve attempted it, people were ripping off mods from other sites and submitting them as their own.To further add insult to injury, you then had certain "master mods" such as SkyUI (and some for the Fallout titles) that attempted to go pay-only, and that would have basically broken the entire modding scene for Skyrim and New Vegas at the very least due to dependency mods all becoming disabled at once since they no longer had access to their master mods and that functionality being removed. This, combined with their idea of charging you for every update of the main mod had people out with the torches and pitchforks.I honestly don't mind the idea of modders being paid, but the way they attempted to implement the entire thing was foolish and ill-planned.
