#HOW TO MOD STEAM GAMES MODS#

Valve is also offeringВ a 24-hour refund policy on all Steam Workshop mod purchases as it continues to incentivize user-generated content commerce, having earlier this year allowed Steam Workshop usersВ to charge money forВ in-game items (but not mods at large) they created for non-Valve games and then debuted its new Source 2 engine with a stated focus on user-generated content. Currently we do mods for games like Bloons Tower Defense 6, but we are planning on expanding 10,181 members. They can also choose to send a set portion of their revenue to a Valve-approved user or community, like the Nexus Mods hosting platform.В More information is available via the links above, as well as Valve's dedicated page for Steam Workshop paid content. Presumably, content creators work out the details of that revenue split when they give their payment information to Valve, at which point they can choose to set prices for their mods or allow their patronsВ to pay what they want. New supplemental terms for the Steam Workshop legal agreement state that 'the percentage of Adjusted Gross Revenue that В are entitled to receive will be determined by the developer/publisher of the Application' for which they've created content. Do I need to own the game that the mod is made for Yes. If a game doesn't support mods, you can tell the developers you'd like to see that feature by starting up a discussion on the game's Community Hub. You can also find mods related to a game by checking for the 'Community-made Mods' section on its store page. People who sell SkyrimВ content on the Workshop get a 25 percent cut of the revenue, but it seems that the amount a content creator receive is ultimately up to a game's publisher or developer. Many games support mods through the Steam Workshop, where you can easily browse for new content and have it automatically appear in your game. Update:В A Valve representative responded to Gamasutra's request for clarification on revenue splits by highlighting the SkyrimВ Steam Workshop page, which notes that all revenue from sales of SkyrimВ Steam Workshop content will be split between Valve, Bethesda and the content creator(s). This opens up more avenues for budding and established game developers to get paid for their work - as former SimCityВ artist Bryan Shannon is by creating Cities: SkylinesВ mods - and furthers Valve's long-stated aims of democratizing content creation for games on its platform.
