Mods for Skryim through the Workshop have received over 170 million downloads to date. Mods purchased from the Steam Workshop will be available immediately for play and the functionality debuts today with Skyrim, which is 75% off this weekend and free to play. The update will allow content such as mods, items, or maps to be sold through Steam Workshop for titles which have the feature enabled.Ī new 'streamlined process for listing' has been added, which will make it easy to sell and manage creations and sellers will be given the choice of setting a price or continuing to offer it for free.
