I like the new features. They should keep adding new features, especially engine/CK-related ones. Bugs always have to be QA tested, so incorporating Unoffical Patches would be a lot of work. I get why those are not super extensive.

I am just wondering though that if another attempt at paid mods is going ahead, that they are just doing it to ride it out until ES6. They know it's a long way off, and getting the community to "work" for them is the cheapest way to do it and keep players somewhat engaged. It just sounds like they are wanting to turn it into another "live service" but this time the community does the heavy lifting. Kind of crafty to be honest. It's like "Creation Club Next".

Patch notes looks great, looks like skyrim gets some good care. Good example is Half-Life that gets updated often on steam after 25 years after release.
