The danger is if they can turn a profit doing it, they may start releasing more and more useless, low price DLC instead of expansion-pack sized DLC or even straight up sequels. Since you can't control how much money idiots spend on overly expensive glitter, the only way to discourage this kind of behavior from designers/publishers is to kick up a shitstorm that threatens the company's image and therefore future sales. And while it seems like a long time to keep this grudge going, remember that some of the featured paid mods were very similar, just cosmetic models added to the game for $3-5. So Bethesda still is thinking that those kind of additions are a good idea, and the people that didn't like where this was headed almost a decade ago get riled up again.

Well they haven't released paid DLC in the vein of horse armor since then, so it's sort of a baseless assumption you're making. However you feel about paid mods, that's not content Bethesda is creating. They may not make Shivering Isles-tier expansions anymore (ironically for Oblivion, the same game with the dreaded horse armor) but it's pretty clear they know what works and what doesn't when it comes to their particular brand of open-world games.

Remember all DLC is evil and they take away space from the true and honest expansion packs that were never crash grabs, honest.

I know they aren't the ones creating it, but they were the ones who chose those handful of mods to kick-off the paid-mods campaign. If they had soured on the idea of microtransaction cosmetic dlc they wouldn't have featured it in their all-star lineup.

I dunno, much like Horse Armor™ was a 'uhh lets try this' sort of attempt I can see the paid mods thing being an attempt as well. It exploded violently because everyone that had anything to do with pushing forward with paid mods was 100% out of touch, now hopefully they are in touch. Just like horse armor.

I really apologize if this has been brought up before but I'm using a totally clean install of FO4 with zero mods and MO won't launch the game. It just shows the small window that says the executable is locked while launched. I do see Fallout4.exe running in my Processes tab but nothing ever actually comes up and it's only using about 25,000K. What's kinda nuts is that it worked yesterday, once, but now I get nada but I didn't make any changes to anything. Any suggestions?

Letting people spend money to support mod creators really isn't a bad idea (and honestly it's a pretty good one given how much time and effort is spent to make some of the really good ones), but I really can't see a way to implement it without a shitstorm unless you make it an optional pay-what-you-want system. There's just too many people who get livid at the very concept of paying for a mod.

Honestly you can't say that Bethesda -forced- mod makers to pull their long-established free mods and turn them into pay-per-update scams. If not for scummy bullshit like that, it wouldn't have been half the garbage fire it was.

There's a small but significant difference between an optional donation and a pay-what-you-want system in that the latter's more likely to actually get people to spend the money. Also I mentioned that the idea was good specifically because I had issues with the actual implementation both behind and in front of the scenes, not the least of which was the actual cut the modders got.

I have no idea how in the wild frontier of modding they could have open source yet charged mods. 90% of mods are no where near that professional level. Maybe there could be a skyrim suit Best Of Cd. 10 bucks gets a polished copy of a bunch of mods like frostfell and SKYRE someone had polished for babies to install. Also an ENB. see now that is something I could see selling. It's got falskaar and Helgen Reborn. Everyone involved gets a dollar. Civilization 4 did something like that and honestly it was very cool and good.

Is there a good early version of Armorsmith Extended or another mod with that idea that didn't go arthmoor and add katana belts? I like the idea of wearing each piece of clothing with armor, but all the other nurses outfits and skull and crossbones poo poo I couldn't care less about.

Couldn't you just not wear the new ugly items? You could grab Nifskope and open the meshes and remove the offending items from the models, and FO4Edit to delete any leveled lists that could have npcs wearing the new stuff too.

Jack Ketch posted:Couldn't you just not wear the new ugly items? For me, the items aren't the problem. It's that he redid the entire armor system. "Four, I completely redid the entire clothing modding system from scratch. There are now 5 different types of mods: Lining mods, outfit add-on mods, headgear add-on mods, Glove mods, and eyewear mods. The categories of what mods are available for a specific item correspond with which of these 5 categories are present on that item." I don't want that poo poo. The items are whatever, I would just not build the AE Workbench or whatever. But I don't want a redone clothing mod system. And I don't trust the modder NOT to add more bloat. Edit: And just to add on to my distrust of the mod/modder, the mod started to do "5 Things", and changed the clothing mod system to have 5 separate slots. Now the mod says it does "10 Things", and the description on the main page still says 5 slots, but the description for the file says 8 slots.

I just reinstalled the game and something is locking my frame rate to 30. I thought maybe it was shadowboost or enb boost but it wasn't either of those when I uninstalled them. Disabling every mod in mod organizer and it's still locked to 30. The game also feels really laggy. Not sure what's going on.

Regarding writing logs to be found on an in-game computer terminal, does 90-125~ words sound about a good length? Thinking about the writing in many bad story mods, the custom books, notes, logs, and whatnot always struck me as being way too loving wordy for anyone to actually care about. The computer terminal in question will have a couple (3-5?) of these logs. They're a rough draft of a paper for the Massachusetts Historical Society, giving a brief history of a certain town. Also, I modeled a meat tenderizer to be included as a weapon. Working on baking and whatnot now. Thanks a million for the recommendation to buy that blender tutorial. I've learned a lot from it and I'm only halfway through. Also turns out I think 3D Modeling is really fun!

For terminal writing I'd say short and succinct is best. Don't be so short that "And then the mayor was shot and the town was bad." but as you said a lot of low quality writing is due to its length. Mostly get it A) Proofread and B) Checked for being poo poo. A lot of mod writing is just BAD. e: Also let's be honest, Bethesda's writing is garbage and it shouldn't be hard to do better.
