PSA: Dwarven Mudcrab is currently FREE

[Drake Ravenwolf]

In the creation club it is listed as 100% off, aka free
It's not a very impressive creation, but free is free, so might as well grab it while you can

[stvlepore]

Most times, you get what you pay for.

[RetroTekGuy]

More like might as well.... crab it.. while you can.


I'll see myself out.

So does that mean all nexus mods are worthless ?

If you think mods are "Free" you obviously don't understand that time itself is a resource.

With all the time people spend installing, checking, reordering, uninstalling, researching, complaining, about mods. They could get a minimum wage job, and buy all the CC stuff 10 times over.

The best mods often require quite a lot of work to get working. Most immediate examples are the Script Extenders, which break every patch, and ENB/Graphics extenders. MGE I alone probably spent 10+ hours configuring/testing before I found the setup I liked. That's around $100 of time cost at minimum wage. A lot more if I were to use what I currently get paid.

I have mods up on the nexus from before I got fed up with entitled snits demanding changes or me fixing issues from people stealing my work and integrating it into their mods without changing variables or IDs

As far at the user is concerned they are free, they pay nothing to download and run them. But they do demand 24/7/365 AAA support from the mod developers

No, that's patently false. The first fundamental rule of economic theory is that time has value. The Time and opportunity cost the user is expending to engage with your product is a cost.

The problem is there is no value to that time, as it's worthless. The problem with value is it's subjective, and when something is considered worthless then it has no fiscal value.

Time spent outside of work, is wasted potential fiscally... but the value is measured in other ways as well.

Else you wouldn't be here, but instead focused on maximizing your income by not wasting time doing anything other than paid work

Except there's ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ in the Creation Club store that's worth anything.

Skins. Single armors or weapons. Simple stuff like that.

As for the cost - you spent the time, that means you value those mods at a higher rate than you would the money. Or the time.

Considering how high the credits hit in the Steam best sellers list.. peaking on page 2 a couple times.. your evaluation and option is not universal

[Perplex]

I think it is always free on PC. I actually like the damn thing. It works perfectly to hold items you need now and then but dont want to waste carrying capacity for.

I have no idea, this is the first time I've opened the CC... like... ever :P

Btw any idea if there is a 3rd party website keeping track of these sales some where?
Would be nice to know exactly which items have been free before, how often it happens, how long ago the last time it happened for each given item, etc - plus the convenience of not having to boot up the game to check and see.

[Longhaul]

Even free I Won't use the CC. Bethesda can Blow!

[SpeedFreak1972]

Well it's free however it isn't even worth the bandwidth for download.

Apparently it can carry extra items for you
