TES Skyrim SE 0.427

[ENBSeries]

There are no versions for perfectionist tier yet , all early access only and will be released later to public. Look, i said many times that stopped modding of gta5, but i did new effect for it just because of patrons. I have seen many examples in my life and in general when people having something for free think everybody own them all. Nope, never. Any moment i can just say enough and focus on the job to have better life rather than entertain people here, after all mod already mature enough to be used for making good looking game.

Thanks for your answer. And don't worry, nobody is demanding anything. There are just questions.
I can very well understand that you do all this from your own free time, so no judging. This should be easily understandable for all users, and if there are some idiots who think you owe them anything - try to ignore them.
(There was a research a few years ago that concluded that over 92% of all people are stupid)
I just hope they don't ruin things for you and everybody else here.

Thanks

Presets and that tier have nothing in common, everything is backward compatible.

Understood. I think I see where you're going with this now. I'll possibly sub in the future if I can bring myself to install Skyrim again

Never have I, nor would I, consider you a slave to us Boris.

You started something out of interest, you've stuck with it for years. Generally that's how things go; passion projects. After awhile we start to lose interest, but the gratitude of the users, and a bit of our own pride at what we've accomplished keeps us coming back, possibly long after we would have otherwise moved away to something we enjoy more.

I don't know what your situation is like. I know the pandemic has changed a lot for many. My take is that you have decided to explore this route for one (or two) of two reasons. Maybe I'm wrong, or I've missed a post of yours somewhere, that's fine. This is just guesswork, please do not think I am lashing out and as always, take with a grain of salt.

1. You're beginning to get worn down and losing interest in ENB as a passion project. A lot of this is just due to lack of time. Financial support is a nice motivator to keep going where it would otherwise get abandoned.
2. Your financial situation has been compromised, and you're hoping to leverage this project as temporary or possibly full-time support until things go back to normal.

In either case, it's fine, I get it and I'm sorry. Not because of the donations or monetization, but because something happened that has put you in this situation which you do not deserve. The change just seems abrupt and to coincide with everything going on in the world right now. If you put out a short explanation on why you've made this decision it would probably make it easier for everyone to swallow, and people would understand instead of panicking. You're never obligated to explain yourself as the owner, you are absolutely free to do whatever you want at any time. It just might make it easier for others to see where you're coming from, and possibly offer support you didn't think was possible.

It's easy. Razed and Icelaglace decided to make discord for me and push Patreon, cause my project helped modders and it is useless for me, that i deserve more. I thought of ways how to not make paywall and keep users who visit site and at same time to get more at patreon and i found good solution for that. Nobody forced to pay, nobody lose anything even for versions posted on this site. If shut up my stupid behavior about ignoring money and benefits (i'm not wealth oriented), it is shame that i spend over 10000 hours on this project but some clickbait people get a lot, even if their work is not comparable to mine. I am blamed by friends and family for such wasting of life, so i have to try change something. I am not rich guy who live near the beach of California, i even don't have own place to live, wear same clothes many years trying to save money for future which never comes and staying in country which is going to hell. If this is a chance to change life, i must take it. If not, i get back to gamedev, because have no other special skills but developing games.

I wish you the best either way.

I completely understand your decision Boris and personallly have no problem supporting you with a small donation each month for the outstanding work you're doing. You're the first person Im supporting on Patreon and I think its very well-deserved.

And since I have a very high-end-system I'm probably one of those people who will also be interested in the "Perfectionist"-category/functions too. But each to his own of course.

Anyway, many thanks and huge respect for all of your great work through the years. Looking forward to support your continuous work!
