The issue is the lack of regulation on the paid mods so absolute fucking bottom of the barrel shit is given the OK by Bethesda. Back in the Creation Club days they couldn't use any master assets that weren't part of the base game which is why none of the CC content for either F4 or Skyrim had voiced lines and every NPC was like "here read this seven paragraph long note". That restriction's lifted with Verified Creations which is why you get stuff like Watchtower or Bards College Expansion or Coven of Crones but now the issue is that for every one of those actually good mods that would very well deserve to be official canon, you get a dozen pic related. Creation Club as it came out was a mistake. Verified Creations as it exists with essentially zero supervision is a mistake. If the CC launched with things like the TES Blades armors having been one big bundle instead of nickel-and-dimed and charging like, one buck for all fifteen of them and *then* having big expansion-tier additions like Bards College Expansion fairly priced and *voiced* and shit, the whole system would be seen differently. It'd be fairly priced, well implemented (instead of reading a bunch of fucking notes from mute NPCs), actual good additions that would feel like semi-official new DLCs akin to Heartfire or a smaller Dawnguard. Instead we got... ten Pip-Boy paintjobs for five bucks and two dozen weapons for fifty dollars (not even fucking joking, go look up the price for the F4 Creation Club, holy shit)
