For anyone interested, the actual version of Daggerfall Unity is available here:

Installation instructions ( in case you need them ) You could provide an archived source code as a game extra.

GOG really needs some type of Workshop equivalent honestly.

The workshop equivalent may lead to similar dramas eg when a mod is uploaded without the knowledge and approval of the actual modders by someone else.

We already have to many password walled mod sites. Adding one more, only makes a larger mess. Let us just stick to helping by providing directions to a destination.

Or by making those websites more freely open to downloading to guests.

While I agree with you. I am certain requiring users to jump through hoops will only get worse.

Tell that to Chucklefish, who already make it impractical by locking mod downloads down so you can't download them via SteamCmd or their website.

From the store page (now that it's gone).

Thank you so much for this archived data.

But it's not gone! ;)

There are a couple more initially-included mods that GOG removed early on after the creators asked them to (and one more -- Travel Options -- which either was added later or, more likely, GOG and/or the YouTuber they worked with initially had forgotten to credit).
The two formerly included mods:
Unofficial Block Location and Model fixes by XJDHDR
Rest Warning If Unwell by Kirk O

(old version of the page used for reference)

I for one I'm glad I grabbed this before it got delisted. There's some easy of mind to have a pre-packeged version even if outdated.

An outdated pre-release version with bloat, mod conflicts, and crashes. Built on a foundation of failed credit and failed permission.

It does indeed take money out of my pocket while providing the most outdated version of my mods for people to unfortunately play.
And just for the sake of documentation, more modders wanted their mods removed but were promptly ignored.

I'm confused about how this is costing you money. The mod was free and clearly an outdated version. That doesn't add up. Are you suggesting that you're losing donations because of GOG, or are you referring to the resources you invested in creating the mod? It's not like you wasting resources keeping the GOG version update.

Regarding losing downloads from the Nexus Mods site that could earn points: Is there concrete evidence that this affects modders' download counts? Personally, I don't use the GOG cut. Who's to say that those downloading the GOG version would even choose to download your mod if the GOG cut were not available?

From my understanding a lot of modders make most their money with patreon services.

I never actually downloaded a mod for the Unity version.

It was a dumb decision. They should have just released the Unity version and focused on keeping it updated on here. GOG could have made a list of recommended mods.

Your pack never provided a hassle free modded version of the game. It was always full of conflicting mods and setup in a way that made it nearly impossible to edit. They literally ALL have copyright protection unless it is explicitly waived. You have an implied copyright on any work you create, unless it is waived explicitly through the written license or you've signed a contract that makes it someone else's, like a work for hire for example.
