Frequently Asked Questions

For Creators

Q. How do I set the price of my item?

A. When posting a new mod or item to the Skyrim Workshop you’ll be presented with some controls and a checklist to get your item listed for sale.

Q. How much should I charge for my item?

A. The appropriate price for your mod, map, or item will depend on a number of factors. Here are some things to think about:

1. How many similar items are already available for sale or for free?

2. How much unique content have you created? Is this something which is hard for others to do?

3. How many hours of playtime does your experience offer?

Q. Can I change the price of my item once posted?

A. Yes, but there may be limitations on how frequently you can adjust your price.

Q. What if I see someone posting content I've created?

A. If someone has copied your work, please use the DMCA takedown notice

Q. Can I include someone else's mod in my mod?

A. The Steam Workshop makes it easy to allocate and approve portions of your item’s revenue with other collaborators or co-authors.

Q. Can I delete my Workshop item?

A. You can stop selling and delist your Workshop item, but it cannot be deleted. If there are customers that have purchased your item, they will need continued access to the mod as well as your Workshop page so they can reference the items they have purchased.

Q. How do I get paid for sales of my item?

Q. Can I sell the mods I’ve made for other games in the Steam Workshop?

A. It is up to the developers or publisher of each game to decide if paid Workshop mods are appropriate for their game. You will only be able to sell mods for a game in the Steam Workshop if the developers have enabled that functionality.

Q. Can I sell a mod that contains artwork or content from another game or movie?

A. You must have the necessary rights to post any content that you post to the Steam Workshop, whether it is for sale or not. If you upload copyrighted content that you or your contributors do not have the rights to distribute, then you may forfeit all earned revenue from the item, may be liable for damages and compensation, and may be banned from future participation in this Workshop or the Steam Community in general.
