I did the math. TL;DR 89% of Creations are free, and only 11% are paid.

    I would like a mod that lets me quick access all of my star born skills on the fly, using the D pad. I don’t like that I have to pick only one or two and then I have to go through the entire menu system to reassign different ones ..any news on someone developing such a thing, or if it’s even possible?

    • @deantoth
    • 2025年 6月 05日 9:55am

    You’re insane for doing all that work however I applaud you.
    What I actually want to say is, I don’t see the controversy in paying for high quality content. Why do people believe creations should be free? Don’t they know people put hours and hours into doing this work? Don’t they deserve a couple of bucks?

    It’s like on mobile games when people complain about something costing 2 bucks or something. Does nobody remember that you had to shove quarters into machines to play games for just a few minutes at a time? I mean I mean honestly most of these mods are just a few bucks.

    So far there are maybe $20 worth of big expansion mods that are far enough along imo.

    I want to start by saying I love your content and I hope you continue!

    However, I have to disagree with your first point. Yes, in terms of total Creations, the paid ones are a minority… if you don’t care about achievements. I don’t, personally, but for me “achievement friendly” means “not game breaking”, or at the very least “curated”. In that case, the amount of free achievement-friendly Creations is… 0.

    SNAKES, why did it have to be Snakes?! Thanks for the News and finally using your Masters degree. The hat skins by X-2357 looks very interesting, since now I can change my crew’s hats and try to identify them easier.

    I was going to say you should publish this as an academic paper, but then your paper would be paid, so there’s an irony there somewhere.

    I now include “TA Auto Purchase Crates” (Nexus Mods 13967) in my modlist:
    1) It eliminates the need to sit and spam craft items to get Credits & XP.
    2) It provides the ability to sell resources & manufactured items to the Trade Authority directly from an Outpost.

    Snakes! Another excellent update. I didn’t realize when I saw your reddit post how much effort you put into counting the mods. Well done. I’d wear a “weaponized autism” shirt too

    I’m not even interested in Watchtower anymore, I couldn’t get passed eridanis orbit, then after another 2 gig update to fix it, I just left torin and that Dave badesta looking dude waiting by the terminal waiting for me to get my fleet ready. Screw Watchtower and all their bugs!

    • 2025年 6月 05日 9:55am

    I’m not sure why you deleted my earlier comment about the Indiana Jones skin and Shattered Space DLC breaking the game if you have them both installed at the same time.

    • @belafito
    • 2025年 6月 05日 9:55am

    Richard, I think we’re just fooling ourselves here. In the end, the news is that mods remain free, and being glad about something that should be the standard is alarming. Players on consoles playing Starfield are stuck with ‘Creations’ from verified authors, and the overwhelming majority of them are paid. Since the days of Skyrim, Bethesda promised to provide technical support in exchange for funding the modders, but this hasn’t happened because many of them haven’t updated their mods to ensure compatibility. Are there some mods that deserve payment? Of course—like those from Kinggath, for instance—but the overall situation with Starfield really needs to improve.

    • @willia451
    • 2025年 6月 05日 9:55am

    If Bethesda came out with another DLC for Starfield I’d pay 100 USD for it. And not even think about it. Even if it was only 30 USD. I bought Skyrim and Fallout 4 and all the dlc and I’ve never played them. Just to give Bethesda more money for dropping Starfield. I don’t care about mods. Give me the good stuff. I remember when Shattered Space dropped. My jaw dropped and I was in heaven for 2 weeks. What a miracle. C’mon Todd. Keep it going. Let’s go.

    Badger, badger, badger, snakes! Complaining about mods? Only Philistines and drones complain about that as for paid mods, quality doesn’t come cheap.

    • @dhotnessmcawesome9747
    • 2025年 6月 05日 9:55am

    So… about mods… what you’re saying is the internet social media game obsessed crowd are blowing nothing out of proportion and trying to turn it into something? Wild. There ain’t no way.

    • 2025年 6月 05日 9:55am

    I do not mean this in any negative way but — the Starfield paid creation story isn’t over until you look closely at crossover modders like wskeever. Notice their comments in general about lack of incentive to mod. And notice the relatively anemic paid mod scene on Skyrim. SO … point being … paid mods are gaining proportionally on Starfield because (1) they lack free competition, (2) the paid aspect IS one of the predominant incentives, particularly because (1). And that’s okay. I enjoy Starfield, and frankly I don’t see how it can possibly continue to get quality mods without that incentive. It simply can’t hope for even Fallout 4’s modder community otherwise, much less Skyrim’s. And at the rate we’re going, Oblivion Remastered’s.

    I will have to give that boarding encounters mod a try.

    • @mypurgatory
    • 2025年 6月 05日 9:55am

    Bethesda needs to make patches for achievement friendly/lore friendly DLC the same. There’s a patch for a previous DLC I can’t download because it isn’t achievement friendly….

    • @alientitimilk9073
    • 2025年 6月 05日 9:55am

    Paid mods aren’t a issue, you should want to support your favorite creators and if they feel it to be right to release a free version of their work then so be it. However one thing that pisses me off is when people just port a free mod from nexus and throw a price tag on it, if the original work was free dont try to scalp it thats just a shitty thing to do

    • @JohnnyHughes1
    • 2025年 6月 05日 9:55am

    I’m not really sure why anyone complains about paid mods by authors orher than Bethesda. If a mod author wants to be paid dor their mod, then they should be paid for it. It is kind of cheesy that Bethesda releases paid mods. I don’t think they should. I’d be ok with Bethesda employees releasing paid mods as individuals but not Bethesda the company. If Bethesda wants to charge money for something then it should be a DLC.

    • @KoLkAMiSt
    • 2025年 6月 05日 9:55am

    They won’t admit it, they omit to say most of the GOOD mods are paid. And for a good reason.

    • @thorgen_ironside5279

    • @crooklyn673
    • 2025年 6月 05日 9:55am

    Hey Richard, I wish the New Atlantis Awaits mod added 3 or 4 icons for landing in NA. For example NA1 (Basic NA Landing port) NA2 the new landing port just upper left from the NA1 (Helix building), NA3 the landing port by the Look Out (the place your ship can not land, well i can not land there 🤷‍♂) This would be cool. I like to place my ship in other areas, it would be better if you could just land there. The planets where we go to, if they have multiple landing pads, we should be able to land there.

    • @Damien4one
    • 2025年 6月 05日 9:55am

    Snakes! I always wonder about the mod count situation. While free is trending down, and paid is trending up, remember that quality is trending up as well. People are calling out lame mods more frequently, and giving props to modders like Kinggath, Matilija, TankGirl, OGTennesse, etc. That shows the Starfield community’s growth and development.

    • @magickaddict
    • 2025年 6月 05日 9:55am

    Awesome content as usual and fantastic number crunching!
    I suppose in the next 2-3 years that paid mod percentage may go up to 20% at the most from 11%? Still hardly making a dent into the free mod ecosystem.
    Reddit is full of sensationalist clowns who take pride in bashing Bethesda. Great that you put them in place! 😀

    • 2025年 6月 05日 9:55am

    Most of my mods are paid mods because I’d pay for any free mod that I have just to say thank you to the mod author for enhancing my enjoyment and yes I’ve bought the 100C free mods for that reason.

    • @conandrake444
    • 2025年 6月 05日 9:55am

    • @SimmerCK
    • 2025年 6月 05日 9:55am

    I’ve suggested on the Bethesda Discord that they allow our ships to be boarded by enemies, but not in that way.
    I would like for the game to give a percentage chance that your ship gets boarded if your ship is close to destruction instead of simply blowing up.
    This would give you a last chance to fight back and come back from disaster if you can fight them off.
