I bought Skyrim's NEW Paid Mods so you don't have to 

I was around for the first paid mods fiasco in 2014. You need to be harsher about this bull Bethesda is pushing. The only reason we have paid mods now is because Microsoft needs to recoup the $7 billion they over spent on Zenimax.

Absolutely agree. There is really no reason to buy any of these when higher quality free alternatives exist.

No, you were dead on. Paid mods (horse armor 🤣) never work because one they're never really that useful or fun and they aren't quality checked well by Bethesda. One has the reward weapon bugged and one they didn't even proofread AND there are way better mods out there that are similar. Plus the fact that Bethesda is making it harder and harder for modders to produce mods for Skyrim. First, every time you turn around they had an update that broke everything. Now, they made an update that changes the game in subtle but mod breaking ways that are really hard for modders to make or update mods. I am NEVER updating Skyrim Anniversary. I'll buy it again on GOG before I do that. Bethesda keeps singing that "we're modder friendly" song but seems, in the background, they're humming "we're PAID mod friendly".

@@vinukabest3Especially when the same authors have made similar FREE content like with Elianora

You’re spot on. Only shills will disagree with you

Few days ago i've found a bunch of CDs with Stalker mods. The discs have nice (for pirate stuff) covers and named as "Almanach of best mods", divided by "volumes". For example, there is a 36'th, "the newest", labeled with "games for windows", "action (shooter)/3D/1st person", "fully translated". Even some copyright marking and a bar-code on the other side

Can't wait to get Starfield Still Loading Edition..

It will be included in The Elder Scrolls V 20th Anniversary Edition.

I don't think that would even be possible, they don't own these mods, these mods are owned by the modders, and priced by them. The only thing Bethesda is doing is giving modders a store to sell in, and offering some quality control so folks actually get something that works. It's like etsy or alot of the digital art sites. The content isn't theirs.

they need to add a fat people mod

So why can't they go to fallout 4

I’m sure this was already in the works for a while. The mods alone take time to make and that’s not how businesses operate anyway. I’d bet Fallout 4 is up next. Skyrim has a larger player base so naturally, they’re starting with that.

This will be coming to all of their games (Skyrim onward). This is only a test for them.

​@@ts250gmore people play skyrim

​@@antonironstag5085and the mod scene is much bigger on skyrim

"Coming in spring. Skyrim SE monthly subscription!" ;-D

make it a subscription, it lets you change the font of the subtitles, color of the text, border colors, opacity, subtitle location, so on and so forth man I should be an executive at bethesda, someone hire me.

To be fair, it's not like they did cut parts of the game and released them as separate DLC content, like the developers of Breath of the Wild CLAIMED TO HAVE ACTUALLY DONE. They simply added a way to let you buy DLC made by people outside the company. I know they are called mods, but I don't feel bad for paying modders for their work

@@Vexy93 Except all sales on the mods goes to Bethesda and not the modder. The modders gets commission salaries but any sale of that mod goes to Bethesda. So if you want to support modder then finding their other platforms and donating is better then giving Bethesda a dime for other talents.

@@antonakesson I doubt that. There's a reason if moddeds decide to upload their content there. I don't think Bethesda is pointing their gun at modders

Not exactly. It does have a more canon like appearance and the Ballista summon is cool but it's not like someone couldn't make a similar mod to that so it still isn't really worth it.

​@@chrisanders713 They are referring to functionality wise. It is a crossbow(literally the same animation) with a custom ammo and model. That's it.

Can you use bolts with the arquebus? Can you use bullets with crossbows? I know the free mod has that bug.

I think it's safe to say that's all we can expect of these paid mods, because you are not allowed to use 3'rd party frameworks like SKSE and FNIS for expanded functionallity. Can't very well animate a Matchlock gun without new animations, so we got a Crossbow that spits fire instead.

Glenmoril has those for free bethtesda really testing our patience nowadays.

It's hit or miss, on my main playthrough character it added them fine, but when I made a new character it was crashing in areas that triggered creation club content

​@@theconmantube3449just download mods to fix it. Dont waste your money

They also arent seamless and you need other mods to fix them and integrate them better into the world. Most of the creation club stuff is like the new vegas DLC, just adding it to your inventory or giving you a quest as soon as you load the game.

Horse armor DLC except its 2024 where all this stuff should not exist... what a fucking piece of shit

Based

They were going to make holiday-themed DLC after that,due to bad reception by fans though,it was cancelled...

But one of the first CC mods was horse armor, elven and steel armor for the horses in Skyrim for 500 gold, so IT IS HORSE ARMOR DLC FOR THE THIRD TIME .

expect they didnt even bother making these themselves

@lordi7119 honest I don't know, my pc is currently out of commission as it needs a new power supply

@@Lordi99 No, it broke things for everyone. Given the deep dependency hell any moderately large modlist devolves into, it's a real headache. Best to downgrade to .640, back up the game files and keep your modlist frozen until you can be sure every single mod is updated and will work with .1130. Or move to the GOG version which seems to be not messed around by BGS so much, or at least has much easier rollback options than Steam.

1.5.97 for life

@@Lordi99 No, Anniversary Edition is more of DLC than an update, there was an update when it came out that gave 4 CC mods for free, with the rest being the AE DLC or just getting them from the creation club. Now maybe for consoles or something it might be different, but for PC, where modding truly happens, Anniversary Edition was an Update and a DLC, but not a new game. Edit: I remember when it came how broken mods got then, and how behind they all were with getting updated. There was even a guide to downgrade your game version before the AE update to still play with mods

Really? The east empire company mod has a free double? Please point it out.

@@donenglish7572 Sirenroot is a pretty cool free quest mod. There are many free quest mods. Unless you are trying to be pedantic and say that you want a 1 to 1 copy of the East Empire Company for free. Which shame on you for demanding a free copy of a paid mod. Of course there wouldn't be a free version because the free modder might get sued or at least his/her mod pulled down from wherever.

Imo they knew it’ll never work. Not for skyrim anyway, it’s too late when there are thousands of mods, some are of insane quality, available for free. They are testing the water to see how they should implement it for elder scroll VI. I doubt Microsoft will let such a golden goose get away this time

I guarantee you it will work. Obviously not for every player. But many people will buy these especially from modders they want to support. Kinggath, for example, is an outstanding modder whom I will absolutely support on any Bethesda platform where he does paid mods.

​@@JohnnyHughes1 I completely agree. If you want to support a creator, here's your chance. People are acting like 4 or 5 dollars is life changing amounts of money. After all is said and done, after you sift through the BS, the real reason people have thier panties in a twist is because they're just cheap. They dont want to pay for what they use. They've been getting freebies for so long they don't want the gravy train to end.

@@johnbelt5204 No? I donated 100€ to the Inigo creator because I like it a lot and he made it free. But I have not payed for anniversary edition nor for any of the paid mods, as I don‘t think they are worth it. I have also donated 50€ to SureAI for Enderal as I think it was worth that money to me as I played it for over 100 hours. I will donate for free mods but I wont pay for pay walled mods. Because I want people who don‘t have as much money as me to be also able to enjoy every mod.

@@johnbelt5204my issues with paid mods is that they have to be of equal quality or higher than the original DLCs were. Hell even Hearthfire was dogshit to me and I immediately regretted buying it and for Oblivion other than Shivering Isles most of the dlc weren’t worth there money either. Sure something like Inigo, Enderal, Enai mods (if in a package)… are worth $5-$25 depending on the scope of the mod but I’m sorry things like a single armor causing almost $5 is basically oblivion horse armor all over again. I mean think about it this way the anniversary upgrade is like $30 bucks and it adds in something like 50+ armor sets, a bunch of quest, like 30+ weapons and much more. So paying $5 for a set of armor is just😅

That's really no different than how pretty much all gaming media works nowadays. Digital purchases hell even physical purchases. At any point can what ever platform you use rescind your license and make you unable to play the content you paid for.

@@Ten_Thousand_Locusts That's only for games that are server bound. Any single player game will work until newer operating systems aren't backward compatible for said game(s).

@@Zombiesbum not true, any digital purchase can have its licence revoked. If you're on PlayStation/Xbox Sony/Microsoft can ban your account for no reason at any point, losing all your digital purchases in the process. If a game isn't fully on disc, or requires a day one patch to be playable you also won't be able to play it. So yeah it *is* "no different".

They have no respect for the fans, who saved their buggy games & made them better. I'm done w/ Bethesda.

Exactly i got anniversary because i wanted all the content and i thought i had it all but theyre releasing more? Whatever.

They have never said they will stop with paid mods they have ALWAYS said they wanted a way for modders to get paid. Todd have said it hundreds of times at this point

Meanwhile, if you pirated the game, you woudln't be forced onto a broken update and you could keep playing your game. Pirates win again.

@@TraktorTarzan Thought OP meant "promised to stop breaking mods with updates." Could read it either way, mmh.

Almost forgot about the Fallout 76 debacle. Do people remember that 100 dollar annual subscription? Holy shit, the greed being displayed was disgusting. Not to mention it launched at 60$ before they made it "free".

I was honestly baffled at how much hype there was for Starfield. It's wild how quickly everyone forgot about the circus that was Fallout 76

Okay but even before that though- Horse Armour. Oh how time makes people forget that not only is this not new, Bethesda is, very well, one of the progenitors of paid "micro DLC," *if not THE first.*

I can't understand how people are shocked.

All the free stuff is still free. This is extra. And it's fine.

Definitely a mid house at that. So many better options for free

That's before she started banging the owner of Nexus.

I'm waiting to start my next playthru when InigoV3 is out. I'm hoping that happens.

And some of EEE features are literally just features from the Legacy of the dragonborn.

Legacy offered up to 30% of the income of sold items to you if I remember correctly. The EEC gives you 10%. I had upgraded 8 outposts all over Skyrim to level 2 by clearing 5 locations in each hold (and 10 in Whiterun hold just to see if this made a difference) and although this unlocked new services, such as indeed loot delivery, my income remained at 10%. This may sound low until you realise that the EEC sells everything you give them, even those overpriced homecrafted potions no Merchant has enough coin for to buy them. That means 10% of a 18.000 Septim potion times 500 of these potions for example, which I easily grow its ingredients for at Goldenhills. My character earned 66.000.000 Septims in no time.

With Legacy, you start at 30%, but with more and more drops you give, and inevitably, the quality of the items goes up, the percentage of the proceeds increases. I don't know what the cap is at, however.

​@@susinator How much is the cap you've personally found? I did this years ago with Legacy and I never got higher than 30%.

Bethesda didn't make any of these. The East Empire one, for example, was made by the team that made Sim Settlements for fallout 4.

@@doodleydrool but bethesda still updated the game, for these paid mods. which in turn broke a lot of good free mods

@@pilovwithketchup A lot of the broken mods are from the other changes Bethesda made. They finally added native ultrawide screen support. That broken the UI mods. They added support for the Steam Deck. They striped out the Steam DRM and fixed a bunch of bugs, which broken bug fix mods. They now allow larger mods to be labeled esl, which broken esl mods.

@@zeroone8800 UI mods are broken, bug fix mods are broken, so what about the rest of the mods? Texture mods, beauty mods, any mod that isn't UI and bug fixes? Also, does platform matter? I'm on Xbox, will mods in there break a lot like PCs or what?

@@TraktorTarzan i dont have a problem paying for mods but they need to actually be worth it, these mods are not, alot of games sell huge dlc for only 15$ so if they want me to pay that much for a mod it better be a dlc sized one like legacy of the dragonborn, vigilant, etc.

@@fairygoatmother the entire point here is about how the vast majority of mods do this. Most housing mods are "Dragonborn's luxury mansion", and the ones that aren't tend to be cabins, camps, or poorhouses

Finally some people who get me in my struggle to get a nice house in Skyrim.

Most of the Creation Club houses, and a lot of the popular Nexus mod houses, take me right out of the game. How did the person who made the house know there'd be all these dragon masks to collect? I just want a normal house. In fact, I don't really need a house - just a place to store excess stuff. My favorite Morrowind mod was this simple thing that added storage to guild houses, so you could just drop stuff off in whatever town you were in. I don't need much more than that.

i dont think calling Enderal a "Mod" does it justice. Its a whole different game using Skyrim's creation engine, with its own story, own dialogue, power systems, etc. Its a fantastic overhaul and i definitely do recommend it.

@@KotikTheSolthe term is "Total Conversion Mod" the Hearts of Iron 4 mod "Kaiserreich" is an example

I've played Enderal a few days ago and I somehow can't go back to Skyrim after playing it. Almost everything is done better in Enderal, better gameplay mechanics, better rpg elements, better balance and better story. Every game company would easily charge you for at least 60 bucks for it. This mod deserves way more attention than it gets.

Is enderal compatible with combat mods

+ the new companion is extremely cringeworthy (writing and voice acting are terrible). It doesn't matter how many lines of dialogue she has - quality is what should matter (especially for something you pay for). This is basically a paid version of Vilja, but at least Vilja was free...

@@nmnkltrgst But Vilja is funny in a "so bad it's good" way.

@@miguelcondadoolivar5149 I don't mind Vilja to be honest. She's goofy, yes, but the mod is free, so I'm willing to forgive a lot of its shortcomings. As soon as one starts putting mods behind a paywall, however, I expect the quality to be higher. The paid gun mod, for instance, is a reskined crossbow - it even re-uses its animations. They should at least try and sell us something that mods usually don't or can't give us. A new weapon with custom animations that doesn't require an external framework would be something. And there are better, less cringeworthy companion mods avaliable for free as well.

Don't you love pay to win microtransactions in a single player game?

@Pulled-Pork So you're basically saying that a cheaty weapon with a powerful enchantment that you can get at any level, one that basically bypasses the entire early-mid game weapon progression is "technically" not overpowered, because it cannot be tempered, and thus becomes less powerful at higher levels... Sorry, I don't buy it. It is overpowered. And also it doesn't belong in a house mod, of all things.

i guess that's a survival kind of mod thing for people who can't be fucked with looting their own things lol. a far better mod would be the real-estate mod, but it would have to be in a single download instead of the 3 separate files in order to work. but what your talking about is a problem in every bethesda game, you always end up with more loot and health and money than you have to spend it on or use it on. they need to make a mod that is for late game redundancy's like this, so maybe a property tax mod or something that always takes your funds per month or week in game so that it feels like a struggle still and it's the same with the enemies who attack you, say they take your items when they defeat you or there are higher feats to accomplish in the later game. something to make the redundancy's like these things less redundant.

It's just fun, and makes you feel like you're actually expanding influence across the land.

Or you can just do a mod that removes weight restrictions and carry the fucking shit. This is such a weird ass mod if I'm being perfectly honest. It is supposed to be a convenience mod with an immersive twist on it - I get it. But it isn't immersive to put some fucking item in a dungeon chest, your shit get moved to a random chest somewhere, then the end result is just what... money? It's a good idea for a mod but convoluted and there is no actual benefit compared against even the simplest of mods.

​@@gsimon123Yeah. It's a sideways means for avoiding encumbrance movement. Whereas in FO4 (and mods) you have a perk that lets you move normally in exchange for stamina... This is just that but with extra steps.

That is the answer to my question, and its tragic. Thats some pointless purchases, and im sorry you ended up finding out the hard way. I'd have expected achievements to be active too.

Obviously they get rid of achievements, what are you on? They are MODS. not dlc, not cc, just plain old fashioned mods.

@@TheParagonIsDead Bethesda had creation content that still allowed achievements, before they started the current paid mod system. Those were not dlc content, and have now been added with anniversary. It's not a stretch to think that these mods would also allow achievements, and its disappointing that Bethesda would not specificy that their own precedent is not being met.

I think for 5 bucks it would be barely “worth it” and a lot of it would just be because with paid mods the developers will all get paid some from it, but even then again each $5 would have to be split between all of them & bethesda. Would prolly be so fractional Theres hella alternatives mods for most of these, so youd mostly be hinging on the arquebus quest portion & the east empire loot feature being worth it. But yea looting actually becomes useless mid-late game usually when ur rolling in money. Paid mods are just dumb its not even bethesda personally making them. They dont patch the mods either so wtf? Ruining a decade long community of skyrim modders that have kept the game alive to try and lazily scam extra money off ppl

At that point just add the dungeons and arquebus to dawnguard, houses and stuff to hearthfire, and everything else to dragonborn. Then just increase the game's price by like 10 bucks and give the paid modders a small royalty on game sales.

East Empire has new story too. You're building a trade empire. It's fun. And well integrated for new playthroughs

It’s actually worse than that. Anniversary Edition gives you 70 Creations, which is 10x what you get here.

Bethesda isn't forcing you to by these mods. These mods don't even belong to Bethesda. They were made by members of the Skyrim modding community. This is just a store like etsy, steam, ebay, amazon.

​@victorkreig6089 phantom liberty was 2% game finishing, all the updates that dropped around the same time are free. Phantom Liberty just raises the skill cap, adds a new skill tree, and adds a full triple A experience

Please please please, whether it’s 70% or 2% doesn’t matter. Let’s focus on the unifying truth: it was stupid mouth breathers that were crying for the game to come out early that deserve our universal hate.

@@LB-yg2brhonestly I don’t think it was the mouth breathers begging for it to come out that made CD release cyberpunk before it was done. It was their investors pressuring them, they had already been working on the game for like 7 years. The companies were getting impatient to see a return on their investment

@@samjohnson2842 ok, it was mouth breathers and investors. Plenty of hate to go around. Let the hate unify us. United in hate.

not our fault starfield was dogshit

It’s like how EA constantly updates the Sims 4 and breaks any existing mods installed to punish players for not buying their overpriced DLC packs

Makes me glad my version of Skyrim is already several patches out of date and won't update unless I explicitely tell it to do so...

@@TestECull yeah, i just use oldrim

Haven't touched any "creation club" games since they were added and I still won't touch them until Bethesda decides to abandon "updating" these games.

Jesus 😓🙄

Yep, my thoughts exactly. No forced game updates, which means no need to update mods when Bethesda breaks shit for the Nth time. It just works.

Absolutely

They haven't done anything but make an Etsy or ebay like store for folks to sell their mods in. What's the difference if they do it here or on Steam?

@@fairygoatmother It's easier to pirate lol

@SliceyMcHackHack this is a store for the moders like Etsy is a store for crafters and such. The moders set the prices, and the moders get the majority of the profits.

@@fairygoatmotherokay who cares

Yeah, cause its TOTALLY legal for them to just give all mod authors a free pass to sell their modded content on their own. No laws or regulations completely independent of a random game company to prevent that.

Consider the following. You make a game, with a plan to update it with a cool magic system. A modder comes along and makes a cool magic system within weeks because millions of people working for free and fun can make a product infinitely faster than you can pay your workers to do so. How are you going to update your game with a cool magic system now? They used the exact idea you wanted and it fits perfectly with the game. So many people refuse to play the game without that mod. How do you update your game and continue to profit from YOUR OWN WORK when you can't use any of those ideas without taking donations away from the modders and creating backlash? The single only reasonable method is to buy out the mod from the modder.

@@PhrozenFox A ton of games just add their own system anyway tbh, sometimes taking inspiration from modders and sometimes just doing it all new.

wait long enough and they will make it impossible to get them like they did with the DLC's Dragonborn and Dawnguard.... definitely a diqk move to hide them on the store.....

​@@mikewhitaker2880what are you on about? Dragonborn literally is on the store right now.

@@Folcock maybe they unhid it, but for a while they hid all the DLC's.. but then i'm still using the ORIGINAL version of Skyrim... soo who knows.. it's Bethesda, and they been a mess lately.. just look at the shambles of fallout 76

Starfield is falling flat because it's trying to obtain esg scores instead of making good games. Every new release is going to be garbage now. The left wants to destroy video games like they did with movies, music and TV.

I'm trying to figure out why they needed to break as much stuff as they did to add paid mods, given we already had paid mods.

Starfields companions is like choosing which kind of wrench you'd like to rip your teeth out with. They all suck.

Paid mods are objectively better

@@flyingpaladin617 be sure to tip your landlord while you're at it

@@flyingpaladin617 alright Todd, take that mask off

I think they're both using the vanilla crossbow animation.

the paid gun makes sense of the animation, at least

I heard the animations are extremely difficult to change. Shame not even a paid mod would do it.

@@JaneSable you can change them in first person pretty easily but to translate it to a third-person motion mesh is a different demon

@@JaneSable Some FREE mods do it, for weapons like spears, and rapiers, but... They use a free animation replacer mod, and the paid modders can't list a FREE mod as a dependency can they, people buying Skyrim for the first time, might find out about... Other FREE mods, many of them BETTER than the PAID ones.

Lol

I mean train wiz is a legend in my eyes so I'm semi tempted but I won't

i dont know why the community is so against modders getting paid. some of these modders are the biggest modders of bethesda games. kinggath is litterally the guy behind sim settlements mods in fallout. i want modders to get paid

@@TraktorTarzanBecause we don't trust the companies to then make free mods against terms of service or some other crap. It also fosters a sense of wanting to keep your mod yours and not let anyone else make derivatives or attachments or patches, etc. There are many reasons this can go poorly, but what it all boils down to is "we don't trust the big company that just cratered our saves and other mods to not screw us if we just go along with this." They didn't learn their lesson the last time, so they are trying again.

@@ryanwatts7817 That's fair.

@@TraktorTarzan I won't sugar coat this. There's not an issue with them getting paid, it's ignorant to think that's the problem. No one has a problem donating to the Modders they like if they have donations set up. Likewise, we don't have a problem with modders getting paid to make these creations, and they already got paid for doing it. But as consumers, if we have the option to pay or get a mod that's just as good or better for free, we're gonna take the free option. It's not the fault of the Modders being contracted to do this, it's Bethesda's fault. They can do better than hire them for Creation Club add-ons. They proved it with Eleanora as they hired her to do some stuff for Starfield's development. Think of it like this. Why do people pirate? Do they just want it for free? Statistically, this is true for a small handful of those who sail the seas, but for most, it's because of poor service. If there was a better service being made that's paid, people would happily buy it instead of pirating it.

I have heard that there are no PC achievements at all right now, because the latest version is bugged and doesn't include Steam integration. (This is causing Engine Fixes to mess up when it tries to enable mod achievements...)

They aren't. They are just mods being created by modders in the community.
