Modding is a skill and takes time, if someone wants to charge for their mods I have no issue with that. But it is also nice when they are free, so make sure to thank jmedia for their efforts.

for me it depends its a sensible subject i am not against throwing money for good work as donation but exclusively selling mods feel like selling DLCs and just encourage big studios to do the same remember how Bethesda tried to jump in and sell mods ? We already live in a world where Extra bonus ,Extra costumes ,unlockables and even cheat codes are sold as microtransactions and DLC i don't want the modding scene to fall in too but still of coure i am grateful that modders like jmedia7 exist

I think you're making a bit of an inaccurate comparison. When developers extract and itemize features that should already be in the game and present them as paid DLC, that is not the same as an individual modder doing the work to create or add something that never existed in the game to begin with. And the problem isn't paid DLC, it's whether or not what they're charging for it is worth the value. There are plenty of great DLCs with a lot of meaty content that people have been happy to buy, if it weren't making money it simply wouldn't get made because companies do not operate on magic and wishes. Bethesda charged way too much for less than professional quality mods that they didn't even create, that's not the same thing. And so far they're the only ones dumb enough to try that, and they were only able to do it on consoles because consoles don't have any sort of built in modding capability. No one is entitled to anyone's time or labor, so it's their decision to charge for whatever mods they produce. Many people enjoy making mods so they release them for free, some wouldn't make mods at all if not for the incentive to make money. Thankfully the free mods drastically outnumber the paid ones.
