The creator of one of the most popular mods for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim has been forced to apologize to the modding community for putting the mod's incredibly useful automatic installation system behind a paywall. Ultimate Skyrim 4.0 is a total conversion modpack for Bethesda's Skyrim that brings together dozens of mods to completely rebuild the game into something more focused on role-playing and survival - or as the modpack's page puts it, turning Skyrim into "an immersive and unforgiving landscape, where only the strong and the clever survive". The trouble, however, has come from the incredibly useful Automaton system, which Ultimate Skyrim creator's Belmont Boy has bundled in with the modpack. Automaton is a system that automates the creation and installation of modpacks, recreating any modpack’s exact installation parameters so they can quickly and cleanly be installed - without any of the conflicts and mucking about that usually happens when combining mods. Obviously this auto-installer is extremely useful, so it's understandable that the community was upset when Belmont Boy revealed that he would only make it available to his Patreon subscribers for a $5 fee.
