Thats what they all say when they get acquired. “Won’t change our creative direction” type bs.
If there was one god damned example of any company saying this and sticking to it I might believe them. But I have yet to be proven wrong. Sucks too as they were my go to for mods.
All the examples I could think of have been recent acquisitions… which means they just haven’t soured… yet. Sadly its inevitable.
Make it a legally binding contract, otherwise don’t bother promising.
Maybe this is what it will finally take to get some of the bigger game communities off Nexus. It’s a decade overdue.
They’re definitely gonna monetize it to death.
I wish I could say this surprised me, but I’ve kind of been expecting this for awhile. They’ve been slowly getting worse for years, it went from just a hobby project to a corporation.
venture capital
Aaaand it’s gone.
Nexus is dead, Start making a new one.
This is tragic. I have been on NexusMods since the 2000s. I learned how to mod games because of that site. I will be pouring one out for this landmark of a website after work today. Paid for Lifetime and everything, because the website made it easy to find, install, and update mods for any given game that supported mods. Damn, man. Damn.
I think the new owners will fark NexusMods to death and you should start looking for a backup site to host your mods.
Pinky promise?
Well they’ve promised so that’s that. No story here.
pinky-promise
So, just half to death then?
Just crippling pain.
Ok, so what is the current alternative nice option for SkyrimSE mods?
Preferably one with a mod manager/download client. Vortex is kind of janky but it did the job. I’d prefer not to manage any of this stuff manually, like cavemen. it’s been decades you shouldn’t need to do that

MO2 can do anything Vortex can, and in fact, Stalker and Stalker 2 modders prefer it. The files just need to be hosted elsewhere. A lot of modmakers advise against using Vortex to begin with.
Oh, thank you! MO2 seems a lot more clean and simple than Vortex.
…and in related news, now that I’m redownloading everything for funsies anyway, I have graduated from trying to keep my mod lists on a website to scribbling a list down in Joplin. With links and everything. In case these mods I’m using decide to move from Nexus or something.
Probably a good time to start up a rival mod site that every one will flock too after these guys backpedal on their word.
Something synonymous with Nexus… CapitalMods anyone?
I miss Filefront.
