Skyrim Special Edition New Update Brings Back One of the Most Despised Features Ever
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition was updated today on PC, bringing back what is unarguably one of the most despised features ever implemented by Bethesda in its popular role-playing game.
Update 1.6.1130 brings back the despised paid mods that were implemented into the game back in 2015 which can be found in a new menu that unites the previous Mods and Creations menus. These paid mods are mostly from known modders, cost too much for what they offer, and they are not as good as some of the free mods that are available for the game. Unfortunately, the update broke SKSE-related mods, so modders will have to find new ways for their creations to work with the new version of the game.
The new The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition update also introduces official Steam Deck support and a few bug fixes. Full notes can be found on Bethesda's official website.
As already mentioned, this isn't the first time Bethesda has attempted to introduce paid mods for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. The previous attempt was with a special Steam Workshop feature that was powered by a pay-what-you-want system that allowed users to pay within a certain price range for mods. The backlash from the community was massive, so much that paid mods disappeared from Steam Workshop in a matter of days. Given how Bethesda's reputation isn't exactly glowing nowadays, the new attempt to sell mods is likely to end in failure again.
