CONCLUSION: Subscription/One-Time Purchase Mods
First, thank you all for voting. It helps everyone to understand nature of a player instead of relying on incorrect popular opinions (loud minorities) ❤️
As result of this poll https://www.patreon.com/posts/157895469 it is easy to say
Only 13% prefer one-time purchase and against monthly subscription
87% of people have no issue with monthly subscription
Most people prefer monthly subscription because it is cheap and helps to avoid waste of money
1/3 prefers both subscription + one-time purchase options available
I hope more mods have cheap monthly subscription so more people can enjoy their mods instead of listening incorrect popular opinions (loud minorities).
For me it would be good to have both options and let people choose but I think I will not add one-time purchase, why?
We don't know what SCS (or any other company I make mods) is going to do, maybe they make changes and you won't need my mods anymore
Game gets regular updates, monthly subscription keeps me in check and make sure I don't lose motivation to keep updating the mod even if enough people purchased lifetime license. It motivates me to keep improving the mod
I understand that buying once and using same license key without thinking about it again is good but there are 3-6-12 months license key options, it is just a few minutes to buy again for a long time
Not everyone is good with money, they like to spend money because it feels good but most of the time it is waste of money
I will keep monthly subscription + 3/6/12 months license key options because I think it is best for everyone.
Thank you❤️

i have a problem : I purchased a 3 month Snowymoon subscriptonthrough your website , but I can 't activate it . I have the purchase confirmation in my email
Hello, I just purchased the Tier I subscription but I can't access Snowymoon. I was charged €1.20, but when I try to redeem my subscription, it says I can't give myself a gift.
am trying to buy the one month version using paypal but patreon forces a subscription mode which forces paypal to ask me for a debit/credit card and doesn't allow me to just put my bank account details only since am from Kenya. Kindly try to find a way in which we can just buy a one month timed license without going through patreon so that we can fund the payments directly using the paypal funds without the need for debit cards
Despite being a paid member, I couldn't purchase the graphics package. I re-subscribed, but I still couldn't get it. What kind of system is this? I requested a refund, but it's still under review.
Today, June 7th, 2026, $1 USD is currently worth R$ 5.17, but Snowy Moon, which costs $1 USD on the website, is costing R$ 7.50 per month, and the annual option becomes more expensive than the game itself on sale :(
Verdade
Hi i've poached subscription from snowymoon.io for 6mnt but I'm being told I'm not subscribed when trying to "Allow" Patreon for Key connection
Do you mean 6 months license key from lemonsqueezy or itch.io?
Even the 2.56 version used for 1.59.1.3 still crashes. It keeps crashing without any MODs or ReShade installed.
Keep up the good work Snowymoon can’t wait for Snowymoon V3 Version HDR
Highly appreciate for keeping the subscription. Otherwise with super high price tag just for a mod would be pain the neck for we people who battling with inflation & much higher dollar rate.
i am sure that SCS in ETS 3 and ETS 2 UPDATE will give you full AMD and NVIDIA lighting and Ray tracing rendering. Until it comes, we use the great Snowymoon.
This is something he will definitely do...probably in 2095 he will implement it.
Hello. I just subscribed, but I can't open your website. It says, "This site can’t be reached snowymoon.io took too long to respond." I hope you can solve this problem. Thank you.
Hi bro, i accidently purchased 2 times. how can i cancel and get refund? i purchased via, lemonsqueezy, 6 month plan kindly please help me
png es mucho mejor . menos exagerado el brillo y reflejos
Nice
Hi I just bought a 3 months license. But after I paste the key to snowy moon it tells me License key is expired or not found. Could you help me check the situation? My email address is gehengshun@163.com
Should be fine now, can you try again
Hi Snowymoon, I hope you don’t mind me reaching out here. I’m a content creator from Türkiye and I’ve been having a serious issue with Patreon repeatedly banning my accounts, even when I try to follow the rules carefully. Because of this, I currently have no reliable way to support or communicate through Patreon anymore. I really wanted to contact you directly to explain the situation and hopefully discuss an alternative way to stay connected and support your work. I’m not trying to cause any trouble — I’m honestly just stuck because Patreon keeps removing my access. If you’re willing, I’d really appreciate any way to talk privately for a moment. Thank you for your time, and sorry for posting this here.
Hi, You can try to use alternative payment methods from, they should work fine. But they are 3 months license keys instead of monthly subscription. For Patreon you can try to reach Patreon support because I cannot do anything about it, Patreon handles everything.
Hello. How can I purchase your improved lighting mod?
I was wondering if the new Log layer you've developed is free or paid
if i buy one time purchased also get update?
1 DOLAR Mensal é a melhor escolha. Assim você mantem o foco e motivação no projeto tentando sempre trazer melhorias pra gente.
Do you have a selected time period to release layer 1 of LOG?
Not sure because I am trying to improve performance for default game. But it shouldn't take long
I don't know what kind of poll it was that lasted less than two hours, nor did I have time to respond, so I don't believe those numbers, unless 90% of players had time to respond, Snow Moon has stopped working since yesterday's poll.
Can you remove dxgi.dll from win_x64 when game is open?
Cannot go wrong with 4 subscription options + what's available free, I say it's a win!
If I pay this month and then cancel my subscription next month, will the license key still be active?
No, you will need to activate subscription next month
Definitely 1 dollar per month. Dont forget, it keeps Snowy motivated to make mod working or doing it even better. For example: imagine - if u have all money at one time on your account for lifetime, do you still want to spent a lot of time on making mod better and better? Why, you already have the money. Snowy I like you, its not against you, just saying how majority of people thinking.
Good choice
Although i have expressed the opinion of preferring a one-off payment in the past, i suppose ultimately i'm not too fussed about it to be honest. But crikey, that seems to have been an extremely short survey window! When i was last online this morning (UK timezone) the survey wasn't even up and running, and i've just logged in again now and already missed out on any chance to vote.
I think it's better if it stays monthly. For example, last month my grades dropped and my dad canceled my subscription. The following month my grades went up and everything was sorted out. Please keep it monthly! thank U!!
I really like this project, but living in Brazil makes the cost quite heavy. Annual, lifetime, or long-term subscriptions end up being unfeasible for me. The monthly plan paid by card is what works best, and for now I’m still able to afford it. If the monthly price increases too much, it will become difficult to continue paying. I ask that you keep the monthly option available and avoid major price increases; the community appreciates it. I also suspect that SCS may try to limit or break this plugin in the future.
What do you mean? You told me yourself you're broke—go to sleep, man, lol.
❤️
You're the best!
Thank you consulting with the community. Tbh I don't get why this is a "controversial" topic for some since this is an actively developed mod and not a one and done thing. And sure, other mods that are actively developed are free, but that's entirely the developer's decision 🤷♂️ I feel that 1$ per month is fair given the quality of your mod, so thanks for keeping the subscription as is.
You are the man bro. Well done. We highly appreciate your honest towards the community. I'll surely support you no matter what. Good luck my friend
Thank you <3 I will be always honest. It is the easiest way to become successful; solve a problem for people > create a good way to provide solution to people with reasonable pricing > be honest to users because it will end well if you actually have a good product
buying one time, even if SCS makes changes is a risk i am willing to take
There are also other reasons :(
Why dont have two options? I prefer one payment, so much better
I listed the reasons :(
Damn :(. Sad to hear but ofc I understand your reasoning. As I am not able to subscribe to anything, would it be possible to make an exception ? I would appreciate it !
You can try 3/6 months license key options from website, they are not subscriptions
I'm live in brazil too and from me a just 1 month is a good price, but i don't play 24/48 all days and i will lose a lot geting 3/6/12 months, please stay a option to 1 month from BR.
Keeping those options for monthly and 3/6/12 months is the best way around it. This gives us plenty of flexibility for all. I personally like to pay for it all at once, but sometimes it can't happen that way simply because it cost more paying out right in taxes than going monthly. But at least this way it gives you 4 options to choose 👍
I love snowymoon graphics.
What kind of thanks are there?
In Brazil, our money has no value; $25 doll for us is equivalent to $120. The working day here is 80, so for us Brazilians, it's better per month.
Same here. Am Venezuelan, our money is even more worthless. $1 monthly is WAY better imo.
Best way honestly.. We don't know what SCS is going to do in the future and maybe the lifetime license will go to waste. Or maybe someone will stop playing ETS2 after 2 months of buying the license and they won't be able to revert that. Best option is Monthly + 3m, 6m and 12m subscriptions. Thank you snowy!
It is bad Idea montly subscription. I live in Brasil and I cant pay by month. We need 2 options
There are 3/6/12 months license key options on website https://snowymoon.io , people from Brazil are already using these options, it works fine
