Skyrim Nexus mods and community. Before I get in to the minor updates weve made to the site in light of the major news yesterday I will quickly address the matter of our forums being slow andor down. Obviously this news has been a huge deal, and probably exploded far more than Valve and Bethesda realised it would and not particularly positively, lets face it. Some of the spotlight has been shined on the Nexus as a result of that. Some people have expressed concern well go the same way they obviously dont read the site news or that itll affect us negatively some how. Everything you see here is completely free, and its definitely staying that way.

While Im talking about this fear of mods or assets being stolen, I feel I need to point out a massive, glaring issue with this new Workshop implementation. About 4. 0 mods have been hidden in the Skyrim Nexus section since this announcement, most of which are people afraid their mods are going to be stolen and uploaded to Steam for profit. Our forums have also been struggling to keep up with the increase in traffic thats come from the spotlight being placed on us and so theyve either been crawling along at a snails pace or theyve been taken down by us while we try and tweak things as much as possible.

The forums are the only element of the site infrastructure that we didnt update in our big 1. We wanted to keep the forums running on a separate system to the sites so that if one went down, the other would still hopefully be up, and vice versa. Hence why the Nexus sites themselves are working fine and the forums arent. Were working to rectify that so if the forums go down, thats us working on it. We wanted a bit of a rest from infrastructure upgrades after the soul crushing experience we had last year, but well look in to sorting out the forums now. Now, on to the changes weve made today. Donations. The donation system on the Nexus has been brought up and talked about a lot over the past few months in our private mod author forums mod authors with 1,0. Way before this announcement by Valve and Bethesda it was agreed that the donation system needed to be made more prominent because a lot of users still werent aware the system even existed on the sites. We are going to look in to loosening up our donation rules slightly. One of my main issues, to this day, with mod pages is how awful some file page descriptions are. Some mod descriptions are buried underneath change logs, latest news, FAQs, information about the authors dog in the vets and so on and so forth. Sometimes it can be a real struggle just to find the freaking description of what the mod actually does. I have not, and do not ever want a mod description tab to contain information about or begging for endorsements, votes or donations. However, something I will explore is adding a donation box below the main content area of a file page. So if you reach the bottom of the file description, therell be a new box underneath that where an author can talk about donations with a donation link. A good use of that area might be to list and thank the people whove already donated and to explain what the donation money, if there is any, will go towards. That way, theres a specific place for authors to talk about donations that, most importantly for me, doesnt detract from the importance of talking about what the mod actually does. As I said, thats just something were looking in to right now and, if feedback is positive on this idea, we could have something out next week. But until then our rules have not changed on specifically asking for donations in your file descriptions. Its still a big no no. On to updates weve actually made today we were busy working on an update to the image uploading system to be far more efficient based on mod author feedback, but weve sidelined that in the mean time to focus on these quick updates before the weekend hits. Weve made a quick, preliminary update to the sites that allows mod authors to show a donation information box before a user downloads their file. The box looks and acts the same way as the required files box before downloads. Dope Online Putlocker. If youve used the site enough youll have come across mods that require other mods in order to work. Some mod authors have turned on the functionality that will inform users who go to download their files of these required files. Now, as a mod author, you can turn on a donation box which uses the same system. When a user clicks to download one of your files an information box will come up explaining the donation system with a direct button link users can click to donate. If the user does not want to donate all they need to do is click the Continue with my download button and the download will begin as per before. This adds another click to a users downloading process but we think, in light of these major, sweeping changes were seeing in our modding community, its a very small price to pay to get the word out there a bit more about donations. Many mod authors have expressed that they dont want to make a living from their modding hobby, but a free cup of coffee or pint of beer every now and again goes a long way to making them happy and content with the tens, hundreds and even thousands of hours they put into modding. And happy mod authors are often better mod authors in my book. Most of all, it doesnt hurt anyone. Unless one extra click hurts you if so, you might want to see a doctor about that. This new functionality is opt in for all mod authors right now. In order to opt in, you need to fill in your donation preferences on the site and turn on the options in all the files that you want to turn donations on for. If youd previously turned on donations for all your files then all your files will continue to have donations on by default, but the donation box is not on by default. Which leads us to the next quick update. Donations are no longer global across all your file pages. Originally, you either turned donations on for all your files or none of your files. This led to a few issues because many mod authors collaborate with other authors, which resulted in a donation button showing for one mod author but not another. Which is not ideal. So now you can cherry pick the exact files you want to show a donation button for and what files you dont. The option to turn on the pre download donation box is another option on top of that which, once again, you can specify on a per file basis. We still have a glaring issue of how, or even if, we can split donations between mod teams. The problem is that I really, really, do not want to touch any donation money. I dont want to act as a middle man between a user and a mod author when it comes to donations, Id just rather a user donated to a mod author directly. The inherent problem with that is, because theres no way of knowing what file a donation was for, theres no way of being able to differentiate between a donation for a file that an author made on their own and a donation for a file an author made with a team. Its something were going to have to think about, because the only way I can think of getting around that particular issue is having some sort of Steam Wallet style system in place on the Nexus that records all the donations sent for all files and mod authors. And I absolutely loathe that idea. Permission changes regarding paid mods. The modding community, especially with Bethesda games, is built on mods that use assets from other mods. Many mods are stand alone and use completely unique or vanilla assets, but many also use assets from other mods. On top of that, many modders release their mods as modders resources, essentially saying to people take whatever you want from my mod and use it in yours. The introduction of paid for mods changes that. Some mod authors have already taken their mods down because theyre afraid their assets or even their entire mods will be stolen and added to the new Steam Workshop without their permission. Many more have said they are now unsure if theyll ever release another modders resource again. Katsu News First Look Fall 2. Anime Shorts.
