What the hell is wrong with these people? Why would you support this?

[Flying Dice]

Something I just spotted, welcome to in game pop-up adds for paid versions of mods.

Hah, one more reason to hate him and use Apocalypse instead.

[Shadowlord]

I'm using apocalypse myself, but it's not like anyone can change the files already on my PC. NMM's new version warnings are already wrong 100% of the time as it is (for me ), so I just ignore them.

There's also no copy protection in Skyrim's mod system, so... Obvious consequences are obvious.

You realize that that's like saying, "Boy, it sure is quiet," right after a firefight dies down.

I severely doubt that anything will go wrong.  What are they going to do, gain the ability to legally hack our systems?

SHHHH
DON'T JINX IT

I'm just waiting to see Rome 2 and Attila mods go on sale. I'm like 90% positive since that company turned into a focus about making money at the expense of a developed game, they'll hop right on it. Since the Total War company releases so many DLC for useless re-skinned units (that mods can put in just as easily to be honest, which is actually why they really limited modding (its super hard to mod newer total wars compared to older) (but I'm sure they now want to make money at mods so...yeah), I'm sure they'd love a chance to jump on this money making scheme

Cities Skylines/Paradox pretty much said a BIG no...so you know what their stance is. They aren't in it for the money.

With that said. I'm glad there is other alternatives to the workshop. Nexus is a great place, and a much better place than workshop...I used the workshop for one single mod, and it was a mod that added a "dispel" spell as some of my spell effects from other mods would get "stuck" on my character.

Also, I've personally never pirated a game except once (and it was for GTA 4 as I actually didn't know if my PC would run it and didn't know if I'd like it. But then the game had a huge virus after running it, go figure rofl...)...but...yeah I'm not buying mods. I'll leave it there as I imagine you know what I mean

For skyrim, literally all it is, is either a esp+BSA or esp+textures/meshes. Anyone can copy the files anywhere rofl

I will not negatively review Skyrim over this. Skyrim is a great game and reviews should reflect how good the game itself is. Put in a caveat if you must, but review the game and not the ancillary services Steam/Bethesda decided to tack on afterwards.

I don't hop on EU4 and give it a negative review like "The game is great and I have a lot of fun with it but the optional DLC content is just stupid and I hate the pricing!"

Well, in regards to Crusader Kings 2 (I prefer this over EU which I found REALLY boring. I had EU 3 but barely played it and CK2 saw 40+ played hours in less than a week (thats a lot for me), but thats just personal preference). I find the DLC to be...well...its sorta the same as Total War to be honest. Reskinned artwork where as total war as re-skinned units. However, a big difference is in total war they release re-skinned units and then DLC lock that faction. CK2 you can still play that faction. And...CK2 feels more like MMO updates, its always being developed past release. Its kinda small dev team, but they seem to want to support the game. Total War feels more like they didn't develop the game (Attila REALLY felt like that at release, so many not developed factions) and wanted more money from DLC (and later when they do paid mods for it). But CK2 allows huge mods, and total war after medieval 2 made modding a LOT harder (which is the same time they focused on DLC, funny that)

Its sorta the same, but both feel different to me.

As for Skyrim. Like I said, I'm sure fallout 4/elder scrolls 6 will see paid mods...its pretty obvious. Skyrim is testing the waters for that. But its not all bethesda, other companies got the same offer for paid mods.

Sadly, it doesn't look like steam is changing course and paid mods (at least on steam) are here to stay. I'll be more curious to see if other companies start doing this too on their platforms.

(edit: At least judging by forum usage. GOG has seen a HUGE spike in activity)

I think Apocalypse has a dispel spell. I have another magic mod as well, so I'm not 100% sure it's from that.

Well, I have a lot of magic mods too I do have a few dispel spells listed under the console (when I do "help dispel")...but this particular mod from steam is the only one that works on my game for some reason. I tried the other dispels, and they didn't really do what I needed them to do.

For one thing, the one from steam...if my character ever gets that shitty, annoying, game breaking glow around my character with glowing eyes (consoles get this too, and its even worse for them as they have no way to remove it...bethesda never fixed it lol)...the mod from steam is the only one that actually removes the horrible, annoying glow effect. Granted, I can do a whole bunch of in-game workarounds with the console to remove the glow. But the one from steam is a lot easier to use than doing a bunch of console commands and looking at google to try to find what command to use for the particular effect on my character Cause sometimes the glow is blue, but sometimes its a black mist thing that liches have and they require different console commands to remove.

I think the one from steam doesn't just remove the effects listed in the active effects menu, but ALL the hidden ones too. So that is a BIG positive for me.

[SOLDIER First]

I have an unrelated dilemma right now.

My thief character, happily wearing a set of modded bosmer armor (save gauntlets) has been kindly donated a set of elven armor by a polite, currently breathing Thalmor Justiciar. The elven set (plus a shield) gives a total armor rating of 473, due to a different mod. The bosmer armor is much lower, but I think the look fits more with my character's archetype.
My practicality says go with the elven and my eternal quest for immersion tells me to stay with the bosmer. What do?

[Shadowlord]

If you have enough smithing (and/or +smithing enchanted equipment) you should still be able to hit the armor cap with that.

Paid mods will revolutionize Skyrim...
