Modding is a hobby, not a money maker, it's weird to complain that a hobby is not getting paid enough (yes, he was complaining about the updated nexus policy). He made a bunch of free mods because he wanted to, not because he has to. Money in this field is a small bonus anyway, not everyone is lucky enough to earn so much that it can replace a regular job. And this mod isn't going to make him a steady income every month either. If he needs money, he can just get a job


If I'm not mistaken, Elianora was defending paid mods
the idea that "x" is a hobby is not very logical. takes work to make a mod as another type of work, it's literally software development at times, depending on the mod's complexity. sure people are allowed to do what they want like, get mods for free through other means, I do it too, law allows me.

but to say modders can't try to make it a career is nonsense, creating complex mods is as much of a job as working on your own software instead of for a company and try to make money of that, both are hard as hell to make profitable in any way but the rare cases that are able it accomplish it do well to do so, they are doing what they enjoy and making money off it.

the idea of "a real job" always irked me. working for other people and getting a paycheck is work. doing something yourself that makes you money is work.

The problem is that a mod is not an official content. So there is no guarantee that it will work or that will work as intended. The game have bugs but it's playable.

I see a lot of patreon modders that don't give a fuck about their fans. They don't respond questions, they don't give support, they don't help.


A lot of mods depend on assets of other mods. And they don't share the money those people. They use other people work to create their mods to sell. It's not fair.

If it's something that have guarantee to work or at least have a good support to help users and if the mod is 100% created by the moddder without using assets of others, then it's fair to sell if they want.

The difference is that at work you are obliged to perform certain tasks, whereas when creating a mod you don't owe anything. If a person spends as much time on modding as they do on work...well, that's their choice, but they don't have to do it. When profit is prioritized over fun, then...well, the end result can be disappointing (like JaySerpa was disappointed with the new nexus policy).

And, of course, after gaining some knowledge from modding people can try to make a career out of it. Just separate from modding. Also, no one minds modders posting donation/patreon links (when it's not a patreon with paywalled mods). But when they intentionally try to make a business out of modding, well, zero respect to such people who turn a fan community into "THIS".

If the creators of complex mods were guided by "I'm not doing this for interest, but for profit", then we wouldn't have a lot of complex mods and modding tools that people have made for free (and these things are more complex than what greedy modders usually lock behind a paywall).

Lol, that's literally Lilyrim. Someone recently updated his profile on kemono and I read the comments left by his patrons. This greedy idiot doesn't send download links to people who pay for it, they have to ask for it in the comments. What a lazy pig.

I'm gonna de-compile the DLL file in Parapets mod Auto Audio Switch to make a version that works with 1.5.97.

He used to allow people to create patches, but now closed his permissions so no one can. Simply because he's a control freak cocksucker who wants everyone to move to the latest game version. He's passive aggressive, and came off as a total narcissist douche bag from my interaction with him. Arthmoor Jr. energy. So now I'm feeling motivated by pettiness.

Anyways, it's a rather simple mod and shouldn't take more than a few hours to reverse engineer(would take 30 minutes if he wasn't a cunt about the source code) for 1.5.97 once I find time to dig in. I'll probably have it out this weekend and post it here.


Sorry for non-pirated mod related rant. So here, a pirated mod for you.
Love how mod authors act like kings/gods of the modding community, like get over yourself, no one in reality give af about you, just enjoy sharing mods for the sake of sharing your art and if you don't want to do that fuck off!!! I love sharing my art and making people happy no matter what they do with it.

OMG! He blocked u too? I was literally going to upload this file as well. I posted a comment abt 1.5.97 I was just agreeing with someone who just asked why permissions were closed to port a 1.5.97 patch, they offered to do it themselves, if he was too busy. All comments related to that were deleted. I was blocked just giving a + Never been blocked there in my life.

Thx Dude, like this mod isn't actually essential, but like who hasn't played this game and had this problem switching back and forth?

I'll give the guy credit for the mod's concept, but this is something that Bethesda should've fix along time ago with the ka-zillion of mod breaking updates skyrim has over the last + decade.

i definitely appreciate your efforts brother, as I'm sure the rest of this community does as well.

That guy has issues, never been blocked by anyone on that site. I know of him, but never used any of his stuff, I just saw the Fix highlighted on the webpage and said "Wow! someone is actually attempting to tackle this" I checked to see if it was compatible with 1.5.97, it wasn't. I + the guy who wanted permission to port it, and then I get the memo, I'm blocked.

The tears I shed, I can't talk right now...

is it difficult to support older versions of skse these days? there are so many mods out there that support multiple versions that it almost feels deliberate when mods dont

It depends. for example, I started modding LE in 2012, when SE came out, you had Modders refusing to mod SE
(some still do) now you have Modders on AE refusing to port SE.

Hey, I get it, guys move on, mods on the nexus are free, most of the guys who create them, keep them free. I'm grateful and appreciate their efforts, I personally don't have any issue with them not making it universal or creating a SE port, but not giving someone else the permissions to do so, is a bit much IMO.

I think the majority of the creators realize there is a significant segment of the community who refuse to update any further than .97 or are adamant abt using mods only compatible with it. I count myself as among that Stone Age contingent.

So I don't think you'll find support difficult on the staples and a good share of the mods free or paywalled, mainly you'll find some difficulty on newer mods. So far I think SE has still has terrific support, I can't speak to the various AE versions

Didnt the latest update fix whole dated .dill thing? If you have 1.6.1170+ versions all future updates (another one might be here soon) will work. I also know the "BEEs" mod fixes new bigger .esl so that they work with any version.

If those statements are true, updating SE to latest version would be the best.
