The Fallout of Skyrim's Paid Mod Experiment

Bethesda's surprise patch for The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim Special Edition has combined free mods and paid mods under a single Creations banner, introducing a new program called the Bethesda Game Studios Verified Creator Program. Modders can apply to join the program and receive royalties from the sale of their mods. While some see this as an opportunity for modders to get paid for their work, others have concerns about compatibility issues and the impact on the free modding community. The Skyrim modding community remains divided on the issue.

Bethesda's Latest Move: Paid Mods Return to Skyrim Special Edition

Bethesda has reintroduced a paid mod platform into Skyrim Special Edition, causing controversy among players. The update merges Bethesda's Creation Club and Mods tab, allowing creators to upload free mods and apply to become part of a Verified Creator Program to charge for their mod creations. Unlike Creation Club items, paid mods no longer need to be "lore friendly," which has raised concerns among the modding community. The update also broke several pre-existing mods dependent on the Skyrim Script Extender, causing further frustration.

"Skyrim's Controversial Paid Mods Return in Latest Update, Sparking Mixed Reactions"

Bethesda has reintroduced paid mods to Skyrim Special Edition with the latest update, allowing community modders to sell their creations through the "Bethesda Game Studios Verified Creator Program" and receive royalties. This update combines the Creations menu with the Mods menu, making it easier for modders to sell their work. However, the previous attempt at paid mods in 2015 was met with backlash, and the new system is likely to divide the modding community. The update also broke mods dependent on Skyrim Script Extender (SKSE), but an update has been released to fix this issue. It remains to be seen if paid mods will be introduced to other games like Starfield.

Additionally, the update includes official Steam Deck support and bug fixes. Bethesda's previous attempts at introducing paid mods faced significant backlash, and it is likely that this new attempt will also fail.
