Overpopulation in Modding

[Corshi]

This is an Easy subject.

“Nexus Mods” Page/Host/Server(s) is big

Bethesta feeds of TES (Skyrim) Moding Community.

Yes, 3A developers making content upgradeable by a 3-party creators - is good ( this is a valid marketing point ). I may disagree with some of politics… but it is all good for us (for now: 07:13:2017)

BUT!

Nexus (and Bethesta) need to create, a sub-mod-distribution. Modes are overwhelming, and easy to install (in breaking the game…)… We need something that makes MODES be “A!” >-Performance-stability-gameplay-< we need. Give Us a politicly to create stable “mode lists”. And allow for customized “pack-patches”)

 

Additionally!

Creating a script system (for donations) to separate money in 40% to 60% - to separate creators (60% - equal between them) and listmakes(40%).

 

Paracenteses (and others) - are to discuss, but subject is solid. We need people to create mods-combination-patches and lists (supported or not by a “creation club”)

i have no idea what you are trying to say

If I understand correctly, he wants stable mod packs allowed to be uploaded to Nexus (not allowed). And of the donations made for that pack, the mod authors get only 60% while the guy who packed it together and uploaded gets 40%. Ummm

Modding is a hobby where you are able to create one-of-a-kind add-ons for your own pleasure. And the Nexus gives us a place to share our creations. Viewing it as a way of making thousands of Bit Coins is not going to work. Treating it as if it were a corporation would be self defeating as each mod authour works according to their own schedule. Dump all of this Corporate talk and just enjoy the hobby.

I have no idea what this means.

No, we do not need mod-packs, pack-patches, mods-combination-patches, sub-mod-distribution, patched-mod-packs nor patch-combination-mod-packs.

Also donations are not for a mod or mods uploaded at The Nexus. Donations are to a particular mod author (or member) as a "Thank You" to the modder for..whatever. Their talent, their witty dialogue on the forums..or just because you like their avatar.

 

Donations are not tied to the mod(s) in any way. The donation dialogue is set up and appears when you look at the modder's mods, but it is only there for ease of use. The donation button can also be found on any member's Nexus Profile page on the file side of the site.

Pls no. Learn to mod or don't mod at all. In any game modding is not a business for the lazy.

Yes Nexus is indeed a big site.

 

Yes enabling user created content is nice, but often receives only basic support, if that, from the makers of the game.

 

As far as what the mods do and any compatibility issues the mod may or may not have, users should read the mod description and any forum thread sickie posts to get that information. Some (most?) mod users do not do this. And any issues arising from not reading the instructions is 100% self-inflicted injury. Any further questions on the subject of what the mod does and does not do are best asked in a forum thread dedicated to that mod.

 

Mod users should also use some good modding practices when installing and uninstalling any sort of user created content. For some games this is a bigger issue than it is for other games. But you do need to ask around to get this information. The most that a mod hosting site like Nexus can do to provide this information is a wiki style page. Asking in the forums for the game is also a good idea.

 

As far as mod categories, that is the concern of the site hosting the mods. At Nexus there are already mod subcategories under the individual game pages. Using Skyrim as an example: Under the Skyrim page (http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/?) hover over "Files" button at the top and select categories (http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/categories/?) and you will get (among other categories) Bug Fixes, Models and Textures, and User Interface.

 

Regarding donations on Nexus, there already is a clickable button for donations on the mod page, user page, and in the download interface that can be enabled/disabled by the user for giving donations. Other sites may or may not provide a way of giving donations. If they do not then you will need to contact the mod author for some way of getting them your donation.

 

The points that I addressed up are the only ones that I could make out of your post. And please try to use the correct words in the correct sequence to convey the meaning that you intend to. I really should not be calling others out on this, I have trouble with this myself, but when I have no clue what a person is trying to say I do need to ask what they meant to say.
