My Patreon news: copyright statement. Tiers explanation. (Patreon)

OK, guys, it's time to news!
First, I want to thank Anktk, the owner of ESkyrim mod site, who was very kind to let more people know about existence of this patreon page and my mods. For the last week my patreon was visited more than 1K times - quite a number, for sure!

As I have started to spend on my mods work much more time, they will be released more often - 1,5-2 times per month. And there are some things to clarify.

a) Copyright statement

I take no claim on source models and textures. I will always credit their original authors.

However, I will take full credit on skin information in my mods and XML files of HDT-PE and HDT-SMP. They are exclusive for this patreon downloads.

Here are possible ways of redistributing my mods:

1) You can translate ESP of my mod, if you don't plan to change meshes and textures folder.

2) You can create bodyslide conversion of my mod, that contains only CalienteTools folder (includes NIF, OSD and OSP files). Usually bodyslide conversions needs to copy weights (skin information) from reference body, and this is fine. But if you don't fully remove my HDT bones and skins from some parts of mesh (for example, from skirt), then this is an only option.

3) You can create bodyslide conversion and replace my original nif with bodyslide generated-nifs. In this case, you can redistribute full mod - ESP, CalienteTools folder, meshes and textures, if you have removed any HDT-related stuff from nifs or if you have recreated it by yourself. If you don't remove my HDT, please choose second option above.

4) In the end, you can just remake skin information and XML files of physics for full mod, if you want :)

Posting any of my files is prohibited on Patreon and Nexusmods.

In all cases link to patreon page with original download is necessary.

b) Changes in tiers

Creating cloth physics is a top-tier level of Skyrim modding and is very time-consuming process, that's why I have introduced second patreon tier - 4$ per month (Supporter tier).

This tier is going to replace my current 1$ in the near future, when I release several more mods.

Here are the rewards that will be specific for this tier only:

- private mods. I will release ~1 outfit FROM OTHER GAMES with cloth/hair physics per month for 4$ tier only, starting from April.

- releases of alpha mods of Bloodborne and Dark Souls with a little delay (4-5 days) before public release. Starting from April, too. But they will be released for public always anyway!

So, in the end 1$ tier will perform the same functions as most patreon authors do:

- access to polls and votes

- access to "works in progress" screenshots (when new outfit is going to be released soon, I usually make a little image of it)

- the way of patreon supporters to say "Thank you". Thank you all too, guys! :)

I have a plenty of things for share, thank you for support! Stay tuned!
