The revenue is split: 25% to the mod author and the rest split between Valve and the game owner (in this case, Bethesda).
The basics of this feature were relatively simple: mod authors can upload their mods to the Steam Workshop with a monetary value of their choosing. Even my face-mods ( The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim by Bethesda Softworks featuring Immersive Armors by Hothtrooper44, Caliente’s Beautiful Bodies Eddition (CBBE) Body Replace by Caliente (NSFW), and Poupouri ENBs (First Seed) Extended by MACHIIMACHII). Everywhere the light touches, that’s a mod.
It turns out that although Steam has had success with introducing paid mods in their own gaming communities, Skyrim’s community was a whole new kettle of fish. An announcement made on Steam highlights that they realised from customer feedback that it was a bad idea to introduce the model into the already-established Skyrim mod community. Not even a week went by from when Steam announced they would support non-Valve games having paid mods, starting with The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, before they decided to take the feature down. The modding community of Skyrim wastes no time.
