Wolfzq work

[nufndash]

I just finished the cursed armor mod and thought it was great.  Getting it to work right was just a matter of not using Lovers mods at the same time, no big deal. All the so called bugs were just oversights on my part. Read directions, read directions, read directions, and it works fine. I would like to find more of his work, but I cannot find any downloadable content on his blog, or any of the links within it.  From the limited time I have been with LL, I get the idea that he wanted to charge for his mods and was kicked off, or just left on his own accord, the LL community.  I think this is a shame. I like his stile and think he is a talented modder.  I am new to modding, so I don't understand the financial aspect, and although I am happy it is free, I can also understand compensation for someone's time and hard work.  I would have no problem paying a little for one of his mods or any other for that matter, from LL modders.  I will pay 300.00 to watch a two hour hockey game, or 15.00 for a PPV movie, so paying a little for 20+ hours of entertainment from a mod does not bother me at all.  With that being said, I was wondering if anyone has or knows of where to get more of his content or similar.  I don't care if someone wants to charge for it, I can always decide later if it is worth it.  Thank you all.  This has been one of my favorite and most informative forums of all time. You guys(and girls), are great.

Simply put: charging for mods made for Oblivion is against the ToS. It's flat-out illegal.

Had he asked for donations, he would've found considerable support. Instead he decided to demand money upfront and was ousted for it.

 

Yes, he is talented, but that doesn't excuse breaking the law. If you are still determined to find more of his works, post a comment on his blog and see if he responds.

I would ask you to reconsider, though: this is the sort of behavior you want to discourage, not reward.

Yikes....I didn't realize, but now that you mention it I could see a huge reason why this would be illegal.  I wasn't even thinking about it from that point of view.  I can see why the original developers of a game would not like someone else profiting from their work.  Its really to bad that the modders cant getr a little something for their time and effort though, some of the mods on here are just amazing.  I wouldn't have a problem paying a little more for the original game, if it would give modders more freedom to do what they want.  Don't get me wrong, I like free just as much as the next guy, but I can only imagine how many hours it must take to make a well done mod. So to all the modders out there, I thank you for all your hard work.   For me you have made Skyrim and Oblivion, a great source of entertainment. In fact, I think modding Skyrim and Oblivion is somewhat addicting.

Modders can and are making (admittedly small amounts of) money for their efforts. Some, via Patreon. Some, via the Nexus donations system. Some have a paypal account. Others might have other methods.

 

Modders are also allowed to accept donations to create a new mod, provided that said mod will be available to the general public for free once made.

 

Modders can also create 3d assets or textures for a fee, then convert them for free. The assets and textures can then also be sold on 3d stores such as Daz3d and Renderosity (or Renderotica if they are of a fitting nature).

If they are concerned about day-one sales, they can wait with releasing the converted assets for a duration.

This is not against the ToS, so long as the pre-converted models and textures are free.

 

These are but a few of the many, many ways a modder can be compensated for his or her works - all they need is to look for them.
