Mods being downloaded from websites such as Nexusmods and being reuploaded to with little to no intent to support or maintain it, or even make sure it functions properly. The entire event eventually led to a lot of grief and distrust for mod authors.įinally, a more recent problem is the rampant mod piracy happening with Fallout 4 that no doubt Skyrim will have to deal with (again). Add to that the infamous Paid Mods debacle that still sits uneasy with many, something SkyUI played a role in when they initially announced they intended to sell an upgraded and updated version while maintaining an evergreen free version. Five years is a long period for a modding scene to slowly decay, as expected.
All in all, this setback may strike as a heavy blow for the Skyrim modding scene.
