“Mostly used for Skyrim and Fallout 4. Great place for great mods.”

Spike W.
11/27/21

This is the only place I get mods. I've used Nexus for the last 5-6 years and as far as the website itself, it is very user-friendly. I had to learn to do load orders and fix clashing mods, but other than mistakes that were my fault, it is great. Just be sure to use the advice given and you should be good to go. I've seen quite a few negative reviews, but many of them seem to be on the user or someone who didn't like a specific mod. The basic account is enough to do what you need to do. The premium is more or less a convenience upgrade. The only annoying thing I can think of is when you download big mods(1GB or bigger) most of the time I have to monitor it and resume the download cause it will lose connection frequently. Not a huge issue, just annoying. USE THE MOD MANAGER! It will make everything 100 times easier for you, especially if you're a noob like I was. 90% of the time if a mod is not working, it's usually your fault. Not a big deal, just go through the steps and like me, you will figure it out. Some mods you have to manually install, but not many from my experience. Also, if you have the funds, I would suggest donating to the mod creators. These guys do some amazing upgrades to your games. This opens the world of gaming to a completely new level! Skyrim especially is so much better with mods. In my experience, Bethesda's mod setup was always glitchy and not worth dealing with.

Nexus corporate is run by white males, all of whom are far left highly aggressive bullies. They are not subject to reasoning, but are emotionally rampant and hypocritical. They preach diversity and yet when it comes to hiring, they only hire copies of themselves: white. Male. Leftist. Narrowminded. I will NEVER use this garbage site, ever.

Tip for consumers:
Will never host a mod here. Ever. Bigoted, hypocritical white male socialists who cannot even hire what they shove on others. What a bunch of intellectual toddlers.

*I'm not a member of the Nexus mods community anymore, because a self entitled modder (let's name her Karen) reported me and I rather deleted my account.
First world problem one could say, but it turned out that on Nexus mods - I've heard DeviantArt is no different - authors abusing their power is a real problem, existing since years, nobody does anything to solve it and often the admins/moderators take the side of the ranting author against a ten a penny "not productive member" of the community (who doesn't create content).
I didn't give much thought about it, until I met "mine". Now, I found a lot of people - many of them were paying users - complaining about this outright cyberharassment and the "script" is always the same: it's enough if an author doesn't like you, enough a "wrong" question and you might end up like me and the others, namely the author bashes you harshly in public, then "go after" you on any possible ways (as I read those complaints I felt like I was reading my own story word by word).
I remember a girl from DeviantArt (author herself) complained about an other author made her leave the site by bashing her and had their fans follow and harass her, even on an other website she chose to "flee" to. I didn't want to wait for it to happen to me, I rather gave it up.
Disclaimer: I'm fully aware that there are many decent authors who are being insulted for various reasons and I do feel for them. But there's no point in denying the type made me decide to leave does exist! (The kind that use expressions directed to me like "as f***".)
I did voice my question to Karen - or anyone who could help me solving the problem - on a respectful manner, as I always did it before, countless times with many authors/caretakers, in majority with a positive communication and I learnt from them. Well, I learnt something from Karen too. I met only one grumpy author, but I saw that there are must be much more Karens, because here and there I was shocked how users and authors insult and slander each other.
A normal answer would be (I got this when I asked an other author about whether their mod can cause a certain problem) "[...]Shouldn't have anything to do with the mod. The only thing relating to the mod that I can think of would be some sort of...".
But Karen didn't answer my question, just gave me the standard "it's somewhere below in the previous comments, read!" response - it was not, that's why I asked and I pointed it out - the first link of the chain of events that made me decide it doesn't worth the headache.
She took it as an offense that I asked whether her mod can cause a specific conflict - even after I endorsed, thanked and praised her work. So she accepts only positive response.
She pinned a cynical comment, like a badge of shame (on me) which basically "my mod cannot cause problems, if you ask about problems you offend my hard work and that means anyway you are lazy to read back" - which she later modified, like 10 times, vilifying me, while herself appeared at the end of the story as agreeable and supportive, with little hearts and all.
I was baffled and felt bitter and anxious about it, but I believe in talking about problems, misunderstandings, so I explained myself, to be more clear what I wanted to say and that I meant no offense, even confirmed that 3rd time that I'm grateful for her work which is excellent. (We didn't have a lenghthy argument, I wrote two short comments which she responded with two shorter novels.)
That was a mistake. I shouldn't have talk to her again, that was just oil on the fire. She went full ballistic. She claimed that I stated that her mod causes problems and diminish her work, which was not true, it is common to talk about possible conflicting files. She called me rude, passive-agressive, oversensitive, she did everything for me (nope!) but I'm still demanding, taking advantage on her for free stuff, complained about her tremendous amount of private issues (like she has a killer toothache - that's in her profile too, because everyone needs to know it), how mean and ungrateful are the mod users to her in general (which somehow was my fault), I'm taking away her motivation and joy, and I was the 100th person who insulted her, also the last one, because now she will act on it. And she kept going on and on with this hostile, blaming, manipulative behaviour. All because people are "mean" to her and she has personal problems. (Who doesn't?) It appears that not I'm the passive-agressive one of the two of us.
She didn't stop at hiding/deleting my comment she had problem with or block me from her page, as was her right, she was so upset as a punishment she reported me to completely remove me from the site. Out of spite.
Why everyone wanted to hurt poor, vulnerable victim Karen? Probably because she's not interested in actual helping (she admitted it while throwing the tantrum - "you can ask, but I already answered every question in the comment section (like 6 comments or so), I have no time for new ones, you think you are the only one and you're special?"), or what is more likely: like any other narcissist, she takes criticism as an ad hominem attack. Doesn't matter now, does it?
I say this based on the fact that so far in the majority of the cases when I mentioned a problem either the creators or experienced modders really did help. They used to thank when someone brings up a problem that might related to their mod (not just for me, for any users in general). Sometimes they take a look at it and take the time to figure it out. One of them made little videos for me, an other one fixed their mod and I even credited in the description for the idea of creating a specific mod.
Other: I know little about the ME community, but I do not like it. Commenters and creators insult and slander each other very inappropriately. The only mod I downloaded had a misleading and pretty incomplete description, so it doesn't work for me. I also saw a "don't bother with posting, because I don't give a frig and if you need to ask you're an idiot anyway and you should not use mods" type of description.

It's half decent when it comes to the mods themselves but Nexus Mods has terrible service and a team of people who hate the modders that user their site it's worse than YouTube they abuse and delete people and their work when they show different views from them and are clearly anti-diversity Auth how they treat people who disagree with their views

This website I feel has been over hyped in the STV modding community for the non paying members because its makes me feel like its one of those websites where its absolutely useless until you give them money. Its really stupid how they cap the downloads are capped at 2MB/s for the people who do not pay. There's also a "faster download" for premium members even though once I've downloaded a mod I can do it in 30 seconds. I recommend this website if you are downloading 1 or 2 tiny mods but if you are I modaholic like me don't use this website, you'd be better off making your own mods

Nexus mods is a toxic, hateful, and despicable website that hates users who try to take away any woke nonsense that they want to stay away from. In cyberpunk 2077 they removed mods that allowed male characters to romance Judy, in spiderman for the PS4 they removed a mod that removed the gay flags, in starfield they removed a mod that removed the pronouns selection because it was functionally useless as the game didnt register your selection anyways. Nexus mods is a parasite and their new motto should be this. "go gay or go away" they themselves have made it clear that if you are not okay with gay people they would prefer people delete their accounts before they (nexus mods) allowed for a mod that removed anything of the gay community. Furthermore if you question why they are doing this they will ban your account for "inappropriate feedback" like mine was when i asked why it was such a huge issue. In conclusion, nexus mods is very hateful, they are very left leaning and are ran by hypocrites. If you want mods that nexus wont allow, visit based mods, they are actually more tolerant than nexus mods claims to be. Im all for people modding how they like, but its clear nexus mods is not.

You get banned for pretty much anything that does not support their weird narrative. Mods that go against their worldview get removed without even breaking any rules.

They find any small misgiving to ban you if you so much as think different from them and once they do they keep your files and uploads and profit off of others work. DO NOT USE THEM.

Modding is about personalizing a game the way you want. But Nexus Mods think they have the right to choose how you mod your game. I would not personally use the mods that they banned, but it sets a horrible standard. If it is not illegal, why is it removed? What will be removed next? I no longer will be using Nexus, back to Steam Workshop for now. I have also heard Mod DB is pretty good too so will give that a go. You want to remove a mod that doesnt break any law because of what? It is a single player game. I should be able to change the protaganist to a cat girl and every flag to North Korea if I wanted. Sorry, but not interested in this form of overbearing control. This review would be lower, if it wasnt for the other existing mods. The site was great, but no thanks with your authoritarianism.

Tip for consumers:
I recommend going to a Mod site that doesn't restrict and control the content.

Had a post removed for posting it in the forums vs posting in the comments when there is nothing clearly stating that one should only post in the comments. (Why have a forums linked to the comments then?)

Instead of staff reaching out to help customers, they toss bans and put you in a Hall of Shame for daring to stand up against their fascist policies.

Never spending a dime there again.
