As long as they don’t take free mods away I’m fine with it.
Comment on Steam Workshop Has added support for paid mods

In theory I’m not entirely against the idea of paid mods. I don’t necessarily buy that mods are more “pure” if no one is able to make money from them. And I do like the idea that people might invest more resources in mods than if they are effectively donating their time to the projects.
That said, things can definitely get complicated quickly once you start providing financial incentives. I think it’s smart to require mod makers to go through an approval process rather than just make it open.

Apparently it’s broken SKSE, which is required for many many free mods.

The perversions incentives alone can be enough to ruin the whole world modding scene for the game

Maybe, but people’s egos alone are enough to causing issues in the mod community, I’m not sure paid mods are necessarily going to make this significantly worse.

One or two egotistical modders don’t ruin the entire community unless those are the only modders in said community.
Greed ruins everything, though.
