It's not the price, it's the fact it costs anything at all. Some people don't have ways of legitimately buying content over the internet, either because services like PayPal are blocked in their countries, they're too young to have a debit/credit card, or the conversion rates are terrible and the price ends up being way over the odds for them. I believe a lot of the salt comes from lack of accessibility, not the price. I don't think that's anything content creators can really do anything about though. Lucas makes demos of his cars available in the official repo, which IMO is a great way to get around those problems, at least partially, and it shows a certain amount of goodwill giving the vast majority of the work away.
China when you buy this mod for some reason and not Net_Nuka paid trash -1000000000000000000000000000000 social credit
I really want your Gavril Scout Mod @LucasBE, but Gumroad won't accept my payment. Could you drop your PayPal, I'll send the money and you send me the .zip file via email? Would be awesome. Really want this mod
Train Of Thought Time Just a thought I had. How many configs are actually used on average? I often just download a vehicle for maybe 3-5 configs that fits what I'm into. Zoll said something that got my mind going a little: Mainly the idea that payment becomes the norm for a well-made vehicle. Maybe my mind is in the wrong place, but I kind-of feel it. I've started playing Beam more often in the last week, and there just aren't that many vehicles being made. This is probably also just a shift in the 'generation' playing the game, but every other time I see a cool mod or get an interesting idea, I realize it's probably paid. It has genuinely been tempting to just say screw it and find somewhere to download the mod, but I respect others enough to just let it go; I don't care enough about a single mod to either buy it or feel like I'm disrespecting a person by downloading a 'rip' for lack of a better word. I'm only curious what it feels like. I'd say there are far more people just curious about the mod instead of genuinely interested in everything around it, atleast that's me; and I think the Picnic would be a great rival to the Covet on a Rally or Touge stage. And I'm not saying paid mods are objectively bad either, I just wish there was an easy answer that wasn't "Just don't buy it." Maybe an expiration date on monetizing, I don't know.
That was the point of my post he was referring to. It's not cost, it's access. For that reason I can sort of understand some of the frustration, but it doesn't justify piracy.
I paid good money for a working mod. Months later it's still working, so I'm happy. fivedollarlamp needs a fiveminutetimeout
i dont know or care about whats happening in this thread but something im kinda dissapointed with in this mod is the lack of proper special editions like basically all city cars of this era had, a few examples; peugeot 106 graduate fiat cinquecento soleil fiat seicento brush ford ka two tone and thats just to name a few, ive tried making a mod pack of special editions for the picnic myself but i cannot figure out how to get the skin working properly in game, heres what i managed though
yes this would be very cool with stickers and different seating upholstery and an open air canvas roof pls
i totally agree with you on that it's a great mod but it's missing the typical charm of the 90s small cars with tens of special editions and funky trims
