14 DAY TRIAL // Bethesda has finally removed the meager 100 MB limit for Steam Workshop mods for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
The company has announced that mod makers and users will no longer have to faff about when installing their favorite mods through Steam, and that they can test out the new functionality this week, by opting into the beta from the Betas tab of the game properties menu on Steam.
Starting next week, Skyrim players will be able to download things directly from the Steam client, rather than use the Workshop, which is great, since most of the larger mods, such as the ones that alter the city designs, require several separate downloads, which is a hassle.
In the future, mod makers will be able to bundle their creations together, which will make things much clearer and easier for those who want to make use of the feature.
Granted, Bethesda is a bit late with the feature, since it's been more than three years since the game was released, but it's still a welcome addition.
However, the bad thing is that your mods will most likely get updated at random, which means that for game-altering mods (or when you're running hundreds of them) you'll still have to use Nexus Mods instead of the Workshop, in order to keep things stable and uneventful.
