Skyrim Patreon mods

[animetiddyenthusiast]

Quick question does anyone know a nuke proof file host that wont immediately capitulate to a takedown request from a paywalling Modder who ironically is already breaking Bethesda's own TOS, since last i checked Modders do not have copyright to A. The Creation Kit/Engine B. The ESL/ESP/ESM Format C. 99.99 percent of the free use tools provided by the community or propriety tools provided by Bethesda from which all mods flow and simply wouldn't exist without, the blatant irony of how disgusting this cottage industry of theft has become where only the end user is expected to play by the rules is utter bullshit that Bethesda needs to crackdown on.

Yeah NSFW mods may already technically nukable per TOS iirc and selling mods is absolutely a violation. Unfortunately platforms like nexus and patreon are happy to protect rights modders don't actually have since they get to skim so much off the top. so the issue is that the only way to push back against those big platforms would require Bethesda to take action and that doesn't end well for any of us. Paywalling is moronic though so I will always fight back against it. Legal stuff aside I believe most Skyrim modders would actually make more money with free content if they still took donations, commissions, and actually bothered making video content for their own mods instead of leaving it to lazy modding YouTubers who don't even provide links. Like sure do a patron early access for a few weeks, maybe a month. I dont think you can claim your mods are early access when it's been 4 years since your last public release

[telomere12]

You will be OK with private comissions? Seeing images of all those mods you wouldn't be able to download EVER?

commissions aren't always private. thats up to the modder, really

- - SkyrimUpscalerFSR3Build[...].zip (use the latest)

Anyone can reupload the puredark new FSR3 for Skyrim?
EDIT: Nvm. Just found the new post.
EDIT 2: It is working but with weird graphic glitch (noise/grainy screen). Someone have this working on the game 1130 version? Only want the base fsr2 version.

There's a proper conversion out now

Nah this is not a proper conversion. Its riddled with clipping and ghost files part of the original
3BA conversion tons of fucking mistakes. Plus its for V3 of BHUNP not V4. It is also missing a ton of zap sliders.

Use this one instead:

Things are a bit more complicated. Paywalling ESX plugins breaks Bethesda EULA/TOS indeed but in the same time if some person pirates content (like meshes, textures, animations, etc. alongside with ESX) - this is another EULA/TOS break and it is unrelated to the initial EULA/TOS break. You can't turn two negatives into one positive in law and all this stuff.

Um citation? What Eula do you think you're breaking? Patreon? I'm not using the platform so they have no say. Maybe if you had to hack them but just obtaining a file and sharing it isnt something they can take action against. The creator may have some rights to their illegal content but that could only possibly come into play if you're trying to sell it. They have no footing to stand on if you're using it personally and not seeking commerical gain. Bethesda can't go after you either, you just have the files, you didn't break their tos by selling mods, in fact you didn't have to accept the terms at all just to use it.

So please tell me who you think can take action in this scenario

Anyone charging money for game mods on Patreon or any other service without written consent from Zenimax is potentially violating the EULA for the Creation Kit.

Uploading MCO latest versions here since modding guild decided to break up with the only two people making anything and nuked all the files. They may be on nexus later but for now limited to discord. You will also need the universal dll for AE on nexus.

correct, that is why patreon paywalling is a violation, that does not answer why the other guy thinks its illegal to pirate such mods which can be done without ever accepting the license.

 

[unknown.smurf.01]

why the other guy thinks its illegal to pirate such mods

Because they contain resources that are clearly not made in Creation Kit, this means they are out of Creation Kit EULA. Any meshes, textures, animations, DLL mods can be paywalled and pirating them is a real piracy. For authors this is not very different from selling their works on Sketchfab and such. We can complain only about ESX plugins but they are the least we care about here, don't we?

TL;DR
1. Authors violate CK EULA when they sell ESX plugins.
2. We violate authors rights when we share paid assets.
3. The first cannot be used to justify the second.
4. We should not care about this shit anyway.

Does anyone have the mod [YoerkSun] Magic Moon Patreon Version
(an old version. the new version the skirt has the wrong texture...)

 

[fuchs11]

Anub got banned from pixiv and is now only here on subscribestar, also March animation is delayed. I feel like supporting the guy with as he's one providing quality animations

 

[Julian Alfred Pankratz]

Any meshes, textures, animations, DLL mods can be paywalled and pirating them is a real piracy.

Not any. Some authors take other people's work from other games, port it to Skyrim, and lock it behind a paywall (Kirax, Lilyrim, SavrenX.... are the first ones I remember). Yeah, it's not Bethesda's problem, but it's still a violation by these greedy modders

2. We violate authors rights when we share paid assets.

They dont have any rights to begin with, stop gaslighting us u mental midget.

Looking for the latest version of Lovemaking Compendium if anyone has it!
Thx

 

[Julian Alfred Pankratz]

This "others people's work" are being locked behind paywall too. Purchase game and get armor.

So? Does that lessen their guilt or what? These costumes were made for specific games (and btw, many companies forbid porting their assets to other games), not for some random prick to make money off of them

Thank you GizmoAU for the links.
As popular they could be, I don't like these "Follower Dialogue Expansion". They don't add anything substantial to the game and some times the dialogue reactions are not well thought. A mod like "Serana Dialogue Addon" contain a lot of talk ... talk but no quest nothing important that add some lore expansion to the game.
