I had been hoping that Kinggath, dude who does Sim Settlements, was one of the early adopters of the creation club and Bethesda was funding his work for eventual release on the CC. Would be a neat thing to show that their plan can produce awesome content by 3rd parties, but..fart.

Yeah, after Valve / Bethesda Skyrim paid mods debacle they needed to make a really good first impression. Ideally what they should have done is used one or more well known modders to make a few small-medium sized quest mods & charged half of what they really want for them. If the modders are getting paid a wage during development (or a lump sum at the end) then you can charge whatever you want for the final product. Take a loss in the short term, but gets people in the door & using your platform, this is like Business 101.

I swear to god if this 2gb update is the creation club files I neither want nor need, Im going to put a thumbtack on todd howards chair. Seriously, if i have to have all the files for CC mods even if Im not using them, I call bullshit.

I read earlier that the update IS the ba2 files for the mods it just doesn't include the .esp so they can be used. Someone with the update check that because that'd be the most hilarious thing.

Are they going to do this with every CC mod? Because I can see myself getting real loving tired of hosting a bunch of files I'll never use. *Double* lol if theyre just doing it this way so they can make steam pay for the bandwidth.

Currently it looks like they download the archives (.ba2) and you're literally paying for the plugin (.esp) file. Which is both hilarious and stupid, because you can conceivably take the archives and make an .esp for free. You would have to know HOW to do that, which is something else entirely, but it's possible.

So wait, before we buy a single mod we already have all the assets?

Would it be illegal to make an esp that recreates a CC one and upload it to the Nexus? You're not actually distributing any of the original content, so uh

I'm not against selling item or equipment mods like this per se, but they need to fix the pricing on them because five dollars for a single suit of power armour is insane. If it was a giant armour collection like Hothtrooper's Immersive Armors for Skyrim, I'd be more inclined to find that price fair, but even then I'd probably only buy it if it came bundled with all the other mods Hothtrooper made. Just because I'd like to support mod authors I like doesn't mean I don't want to get good value for my money.

Tombot posted:So wait, before we buy a single mod we already have all the assets? I honestly thought this was some sort of bug with the steam beta. A glitch like the time Steam accidentally gave everyone the Dawnguard DLC for free. But here's the v1.10 update and all the files are there. I'm entertaining the idea that this is some Bethesda dev that's trying to sabotage things. I know Bethesda is the company that patched in a bug that caused dragons to fly backwards in Skyrim, but even they're aren't this incompetent. Like I said before, they don't do this with the mods on Bethesda.net and I can't think of a reason why this would be genuinely necessary for the system to work.

If it does that, it will likely end up forcing people to uninstall. Which, of course, is entirely possible because if they were even remotely intelligent they wouldn't be pushing this poo poo. EDIT: Yeah, yep. The archives are there, just no plugins. Also this patch breaks F4SE again. Gonkish fucked around with this message at 21:34 on Aug 29, 2017 |

I doubt that the patch was meant to include all the assets of the CC poo poo, this looks a lot like the Dawnguard mistake back when they patched Skyrim and Dawnguard was part of the patch.

Does it install the mods on every game or do I have to sign up to this creative club thing because that's gonna be a problem if it's every mod in every game as I don't have a lot of hard drive space.

My favourite part is, because the assets are downloaded by default, mods that add these to the game for free can be distributed legally without being valid C&D or takedown targets because they're not redistributing copyrighted material. Less good is the fact that they'll C&D/DCMA said mods anyway because gently caress it, nobody's gonna spend money to fight it.
