Generally not against compensating people for their work, and $5.00 seems totally fair.

 

Given the texture's quality, definetely not.

 

Don't forget that the full game is currently $8.46 on GOG and that you can have complete games under $5 like Dragon Age Origins, Tomb Raider 2013 or Deus Ex Human Revolution.

Hell, you can have XCOM2 for $5.64 and all its nude mods are free.

You forgot the error message. For anyone to diagnose the issue, we need both system config AND the actual error. Also what GPU you are using. I doubt with that rig it's relevant, but you never know. Someone could decide to pair that rig with a 8800GT. Extremely rare, but you know there's someone out there who's done it. Also OS is relevant as well. (Win 7, 10, 11, or god forbid XP.)

 

While we wait, try verifying steam files. Also try uninstalling and reinstalling the game. (I know, it's a stupid troubleshooting step, but there's a reason why most IT support starts the process off with "turn it off and on." That simple power cycle solves SO many issues. Uninstalling and reinstalling, is the software equivalent of a power cycle.

 

Another thing to try - run the actual game EXE in administrator mode. Also try compatibility settings. Again these are "Stupid level" troubleshooting steps. Most gamers know these steps. But try them before replying with the actual error. You never know. Always try the "stupid steps" first, so troubleshooters can eliminate them.

 

PS: I'm absolutely not insulting your intelligence. So please don't take offense. I'm literally just saying, start with the most simple steps, then once eliminated as possible fixes, with the error message, people can recommend more advanced troubleshooting. Especially considering you said the VR version works. My first guess is some file somewhere wasn't downloaded correctly. So verify game files, run as admin, failing that, try completely uninstalling and reinstalling. Plus trying compatibility settings.

 

Also, make sure you reboot Steam. I've had SEVERAL games act extremely weird, or even crash no matter what, all because the Steam client needed a reboot. Steam loves to do that. Make games impossible to run because it has an update. Again, it sounds stupid from a troubleshooting perspective, but trust me, I've ran into it ALOT. Even on games I just installed after I bought them. They'd refuse to run because Steam wanted to update. 90% of my game crashes literally come from this situation. Steam decides it just doesn't want to work because it's waiting on an update but isn't smart enough to run it unless you physically restart it yourself. So much so, if I have ANY problem with a game I've had on my system for more then a day, I'll reboot steam as my first troubleshooting step. Again, it usually fixes my issue 90% of the time. Especially during seasonal sales where people will grab games at an extremely discounted rate. Steam is usually the issue. Not the game itself. And it manifests in wildly unpredictable ways.

Restarted steam, and it now works thanks! and the nude mod worked, Looks great with ray tracing and everything turned way up!!!

Glad to hear you got it working. Steam loves to do that shit. I've noticed it far more since it came out of beta. (The new beta that happened a few months ago with the redesign.) It just screws with your games till you reboot it.

Thread is clearly attempting to drive a purchase. Does LL not have some kind of policy that lets them nuke this kind of thing? I thought they did...

 

Apparently, instead of leveraging technology to reduce cost and increase efficiency, we're doing the wrong thing -- chopping it up into the ever smaller chunks for individual sale. MTX as a standard practice is cancerous enough. Now Joe Blow wants a piece of the action with pay-my-rent Patreon garbage for every little thing they do.

 

I threw together a Doom 3 mod (nexus UltraViolence) with creatures and weapons. I animated them; redid most of the sounds across the entire game; added 2-3 firing modes; coded modern Doom features like the chainsaw drop; coded new AI; and generally made the game playable instead of boring. My license was, "I'm done, enjoy this compilation, do whatever the fuck you want and have fun". Took about a month.

 

So, based on this guy's $5 for a texture, does that make my silly mod worth several hundred dollars? LOL.

 

Gumroad/Patreon/etc jokers -- congrats on missing the plot and fashioning yourself after scammers. It's getting old. Please either go away, or stop.

Yeah i dont get why people charge for Mods either, You see companies go after people all the time because they try to make a profit on said companies IP. Cuz again none of it belongs to that modder.... but people hide behind patreon and all of this crap and call it a "donation" and sometimes is a half assed texture to show some skin. It gets worse, you see some people that sell street fighter mods for more than the DOA games charge for. Hundreds  of dollars, for platinum and gold levels. It makes no sense.... So im sorry if i find a free download link for those i Use it. I found a collection of nude mods i wanted and it was behind a watch list.... So i asked the guy how much and he was gonna charge like 60 bucks PER MOD!!! I could buy like 5 games with that money!!!! people these days are insane.

While it's great that you make mods and freely distribute them, it doesn't really help with this situation. If you want to put your money where your mouth is, make a nude mod for this game that is better than this paid option and make it available to everyone for free. Otherwise you're just talking shit.

I don't have a problem with these paid mods, and I frequently donate to people that provide free mods. The thing is, these are games that nobody else is modding. So we have this $5 option, or nothing at all.

 

There was a time when people would offer money for mods to games that had little interest. Nobody would do it, so these games just never got modded. $5 is barely enough for a coffee, forget about lunch. The amount of time that it would take me to learn how to extract/repack the files and a get a decent mesh going as well as getting it textured and polishing it up to this level is worth way more than $5 to me.

 

I get it if some broke-ass kid wants the mod and can't afford it, tough shit that's life. Some assholes charge $50+ for one skin for one character, so $5 is nothing. We can always go back to the caveman days of texture modding, where someone slaps a texture over clothing and calls it a nude mod. Unless you're providing free alternatives, all this bitching gets us nowhere.

Yes, there's this belief that all work deserve money, even when it's a hobby, as long as you spend time doing something, you should earn money in return, soon some parents will charge their kids for raising them. Fortunetely not everyone think like that and the majority of mods are still free, sometime with thousands of hours of work, and volunteer work still exist.

 

For modding, it's mostly nude mods that are affected, because sex sells, and for some modders, specialising in nude mods is an easy way to earn money, it's rarely a huge amount of work, it generaly goes from low to moderate if we compare with the rest.

 

But this issue is also caused by the developers self censoring their games because of american companies prudish policies, and some adults (myself included) are frustrated that sexulity and nudity is rarely present in video games when violence is never a problem and lots of games revolve aroud it. That create an important demand for nude and sexual mods.

 

For this game for exemple the dev diaries showed that there was a nude model for Senua. I don't know if at some time they had the intention of using it in some scenes in the game, but in the end, with Microsoft and Sony and with the need to communicate on Youtube, Facebook, Twitch or Twitter, there was very little chance that it happens.

 

Some will probably reply that without those paid mods, some games wouldn't have any nude mods at all, and that may be true, but for me, it is as if they didn't exist, because I'm not going to pay for a nude skin or a modified mesh. When I give money to modders, it's for something with a bigger scope and more work, and never when the mod is behind a paywall (and anyway I'll never give on Patreon because I despise this company, for censorship among other things).

 

Here's the dev diary with the official nude Senua's model :

The absence of the nude Senua model in the final game has nothing to do with censorship, it's common practice for professional modelers to first create a completely nude model of every character they make before layering on their clothing. In this case, even the live model they scanned in had to be almost completely nude so they could accurately model clothes on top of her. There's probably even a nude model of Kratos somewhere within Sony Santa Monica's files, you've just never seen it because Kratos is a "never nude" and they only included the parts of his body you're supposed to see in the final game as a way to save space. This is also why it's much more common to find fully nude models of characters in games where they change their wardrobe often, because you aren't always certain what will be shown. So it's just easier to include one fully nude model and hide body parts depending on the clothing they're wearing at the time, rather than having a bunch of separate model of the same character for every set of clothing.

Dude you are poster number 10,000 with this mentality. I don't know why people bother at this point. The fact of the matter is paywalled mods aren't going to disappear. No matter what you or I say. I hate paywalled mods, but unfortunately sometimes if you want the content, you have to pay for it. But that is a personal choice. One you can make yourself. But complaining about it, isn't going to do anything besides clutter up threads. That's it.

 

I see so many people complain about pay walled mods, without offering an alternative. (Including you. You know how to mod, so why not obliterate the paid mod? By offering a SUPERIOR, FREE alternative.  Or in other words, Put up or shut up. It's that simple. See it's easy to complain how horrible paid mods are. But are you offering a solution? Or just bragging about your expertise while not putting up?  That is the EASIEST way to defeat pay walled mods. Offer a BETTER, FREE, alternative. But you see, most of the games that have paid mods only, don't have free alternatives. This game is a prime example. So as a result, there's no other choice, so everyone will pay. When you corner the market, you can set the price. That's capitalism 101. Don't like it? Be a competitor. Create another mod, take a piece of the pie, or, stick to your morals and offer it free.

 

PS: Hell I'm sure if I dedicated a few days to this, I could create a mod. Why don't I? Because the last time I started modding a game (Bullet Girls Phantasia) to give everyone a 3D nipple based mod, instead of a simple texture mod. Moderchan destroyed my release within a few days. So now, I honestly just don't bother, unless I'm REALLY invested in the game. As I'm a newbie when it comes to modding. I'll state that from the jump. So what might take experienced modders a few hours, takes me a few days. And I'm honestly not willing to make that time investment, when I can just buy a mod for $5 or $10. Or even worse, someone with way more experience, releases a way better mod for free. That's where I come into this argument. I support paid mods, financially speaking, not morally, because they literally allow me to enjoy the game instead of sinking time modding them. And having to learn how to mod them because I'm a complete noob. Plus I grew up in the open source community. So, that time investment to create a mod, literally means even if I'm poor as hell, I won't charge for it. So I purposely stay out of modding unless I'm really interested in a game.

 

But I mean absolutely no disrespect. I'm literally just saying, if you hate paid mods that much. Do something about it. Clearly you have the skills. Otherwise, you, like me, are just as much apart of the problem. So have absolutely no room to talk. (Again, I say this because I'm guilty of the same thing.)

And it's not even that high of a price. They are charging what, like five bucks? People are really going to complain about that?

I appreciate that it sounds like a waste of air, but seriously, nah. Charging for mods like this is effectively scamming, and worth piping up about when the problem gets as bad as it's been getting over the past while.

 

Also, no offense taken. I'll flex to make it clear that I'm not "part of the problem", if you actually care for some reason...?

Spoiler

My first free plugin I put out for MSN Messenger back in the day hit something like 300,000 downloads on Mess.be. The smallest project I've worked on for money served something like 80,000 people, and every time I took a salary it was because I was using technology in a way that helped real-world people achieve a goal. I've run free custom servers, written a few dozen mods and games, and have elaborate setups I'd love to share with the forum here -- except that most of the stuff is packages/derivative work that would surely get me in trouble with some random idiot in today's strange mod culture.

 

This author was already paid for their labor, keep in mind. Cool. Time is money. But they're not supporting the product -- or are they, on this thread...? They aren't liable for returns. They don't follow the publisher with updates. If their mod breaks something, it's nobody's fault. And they still want $5 from every poor sucker who downloads something...? Using someone else's download infrastructure?

 

Back in the day, people used to run their own websites. It cost bandwidth. They put up a Donate button. That made sense, even if it wasn't always fair. Today's practice of charging for infinite digital downloads with almost no substance is... baseless. If you're not complaining, you should be.

You're right, and thankfully, the problem is relatively well contained to adult mods for the reasons you described. The barrier to entry is extremely low and sex sells. Scammers find this to be ripe territory. But as we go along, as Unity/etc make things easier, as Steam is flooded with asset flips -- how long before most games get turned into Chicom gacha games?

 

This is my main concern and the reason I bother complaining. What if the AAAs find a way to template this tertiary economy and consume it for themselves? We have to say no, now, before small time scammers generate a template for the AAAs to abuse. One could argue it already happened: Warframe, etc... but I still think there's time to push back, make better purchasing decisions, etc.

Absolutely not sorry to derail the thread. I'm not the sort to abuse report buttons for things I dislike, so I bitch instead. I've had my say and won't be back. If you insist on continuing a discussion in support of scamming people, you go right ahead :).

@dxw - (Won't quote due to length) Well thought out and respectful reply, I appreciate it. I actually understand and even agree with all your points. As I said, I hate paid mods too. But when someone is cornering the market, you either buy it or don't. I've bought one or two of irastris mods. But most of the time I usually just leave paid mods alone. Unless I want to support the creator or again MUST have that mod. (Moderchan and MikokoX who is a Xenoverse 2 modder are my current guilty pleasures.)  This mod, sure isn't one of them. I actually find it bad just like a lot of others in this thread. But, it's probably more along the lines of I just don't find the character to be sexy. Even with no clothes on.

 

About the reporting - Not getting a report from me bud. Much like you, I'll bitch not report. Unless someone is being a grade A asshole, or obvious troll. You are neither.

 

PS: Forgot to mention your "flex" - Congrats on that. Genuinely. not being sarcastic. But what I meant as "part of the problem" is as I said above, you clearly have the ability to produce a quality mod that would be come the default. Thus eliminating the "paid mod" issue entirely. That's what we need. Experienced, top quality modders that follow the old school rules. They release for free and just ask (but don't require) for donations. What this mod forum was built on with Skyrim. What nexus has always been about. But, we don't have any of those folks anymore. So as a result, the modding scene has become saturated with "scammers that want to make a quick buck." Don't like it, but I can't really blame them.

 

Hell even the gaming hacking scene has turned more towards this release structure. Create a dongle, modchip, or hack and charge for it. That's why Team Xecutor is getting owned in the courts. Too many greedy people doing grey area borderline illegal things and charging for it. And using more public social media infrastructure to advertise it instead of staying underground. Like piracy groups still do today. You hardly ever hear about crackers getting sued/jailed. Why? Because if they are charging for their services, they are doing it really hush hush. They aren't asking for payment on forums that are publicly accessible, or Patreon. (Well, with the exception of EMPRESS and for her sake, I hope she lives in a country that has no ties with the US. Otherwise she'll be in the news soon enough because she attacks Denuvo.)

The creator of this mod has continued to support it, even after updates, so you are objectively wrong about that.

 

Supporting paid mods by individual creators is nothing like buying micro transactions from a faceless corpo. These are people who you can actually talk to and who will listen to your feedback. There was previously not enough demand for a Senua nude mod that any modder out there was willing to create one for free. So I commissioned a modder to make one for a small fee, it was either that or no Senua mod at all. I enjoy when things are free, but I'm also not a socialist and I don't believe I'm entitled to own someone else's labor. This is a very simple matter, there's no need to inject a bunch of emotion into the situation when simple logic will suffice. If you believe in your principle of no paid mods so much, then you should spend the time to make a better Senua mod and make it free. Were you to do so it would render the paid mod completely useless and no one would buy it, this is how the market works. Seriously, please show us how it should be done. But I'm anticipating there will be excuses, and what will they be? Not enough time? Not enough skill? Not enough interest? That's exactly why someone was paid in the first place, and I can only assume they are also the reasons why your superior Senua mod remains imaginary. I don't blame you for never coming back to this thread ever again, I wouldn't either unless I actually had a mod to back up all of my smack talk. Peace.
