With all that said when I have free time available I will try my best to get the non-paid mods you guys request. I hope that is OK.

I mean...no. That’s the complete wrong look at it. There’s a reason paid mods are banned here. You’re not “making art”. Are some modders talented? Undoubtedly. Will some people pay to access mods? Sure. But overall, if this gets turned into an economy, say goodbye to modding. It should be done to improve the game. Ultimately, nobody is doing anything revolutionary when they mod NBA 2k games. At a basic level, you’re adding textures and moving around models. This isn’t like Syrim where people are adding new meshes or creating vast new experiences. Don’t get me wrong, there are truly some incredibly talented people here but to justify paid mods is craziness. The entire point of modding was to be a community. To build off each other’s work and make something better. That’s why credit is so vital. But to hide things behind a pay wall, when the only reason you get to experience it in the first place is because 2k provided the original assets, is an awful practice in my opinion.
If people want to recognize greatness by donating, then that’s different. I’ve donated to several users on here to make exclusive content for me. But that’s not the same as them creating demand with previews and withholding the mod.
thank you sir. can u repost ingram's link? it's not working

sitew33 wrote:The other problem with the modders charging is on many occasions they use a base that someone worked hard to create and released publicly for free then they touch up the original moders work then charge money for them. For example they will say hey this is Monkeyman's work but I touched it up and now I want money for it. What's really annoying is that most of them come here and either poach mods like all of Monkeyman's work or they use this site to figure stuff that the great modding minds like Trevor or Ksmiz come up with and provide for free then take it back and either hide stuff behind paywalls or secret groups. That becomes a problem to this community because modders get frustrated and stop releasing their work all together.

that's my point. lol a couple mods worth more than an entire video game? plus, it's selling copyrighted material calling it their own b/c they made some edits is a bit ridiculous. lol

Yes, but in your own example, those hip hop artists were actually creating a unique product. It was a product that they had the rights to and created from scratch. 2k could shut modding down tomorrow if it so chose. People act like they deserve money when they are taking a pre-created product and mold it, slap a texture on it and call it "theirs". It's entirely a model and texture that was supplied by 2k and then you edited. That's like saying you built a racecar out of lego's and now you should be able to sell your racecar. I mean yeah it took some time but the overall product was not yours in the first place, you used someone else's tools and materials.
People can mod for any reason they want. People have been modding for cash for a long time. I'm just so darn grateful it's banned here because it's pretty questionable. If you're making unique faces that's one thing and I've donated to plenty of modders to make hundreds of faces for draft classes and CAP faces. My issue is these foreign modders that simply slap a new texture on Lebron and say it's "their's", give me a break. Can you imagine a modding scene where every mod was paid for? That would be horrifying. To experience them all, you'd be dropping hundreds of dollars for mods on top of a $60 game.
I wasn't gonna touch the privileged first-world thing but the bottom line is this, if someone bought 2k for $60, has a solid enough computer to run the game and mod on top of that, and pays for internet, they're probably doing okay and could survive without the extra $5 per mod. The likelihood that anyone here is living in poverty in a third world country is minuscule.
