However, Fores was not credited for the use of his mod, nor was he receiving compensation when gamers purchased the mod. As an animated fishing mod, it initially appeared fairly simplistic and harmless, but the modding community quickly took notice that 'Art of the Catch' utilized another mod called 'Fores New Idles In Skyrim', or FNIS. The Skyrim mod, entitled 'Art of the Catch', was one of the initial Skyrim mods available at launch of the new paid mods system.
Many were concerned that complications would ensue, and these concerns were proven valid following the removal of a mod containing stolen content. Nearly overnight, however, attitudes toward the Steam Workshop changed due to Valve’s decision to allow mod developers to sell their mods for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Steam usually even takes care of installing a chosen mod, so the difficulty of following complex installation directions is eliminated. PC gamers have appreciated the Steam Workshop for how easy it is to upload mods and then to find and try said mods.
