Well ... Nexus is really the only game in town. Can't say anything outrageous like "I'm moving to Bethesda's mods site (lol)". As an old person, I switched to Samsung when Apple changed to this flat/rectangle design. I still use Windows 7 to avoid Microsoft's flat interface. But there's nothing I can do about this. Nexus has me over the barrel. Makes me sad. Oh, well. If that's what they need to bring in new blood and cash flow so they can keep operating, I'll just have to get used to it. I'm sure they will tweak it in the next few months.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts, and teaching us things we might not know about the situation. I realize how long it must have taken you to write that all up and edit it to flow well. Thank you again.

In response to post #37064095. #37064415 is also a reply to the same post. "The Fallout 4 Creation Kit, the software tool that allows PC modders to go wild, is set to arrive at the beginning of 2016." Repeat in every news article from September 2015 through January of 2016. In February, it was announced that the CK was being released in April, starting with the PC, then moving to consoles. Pretty sure Fallout 4 had been out for 3 months by then. They let us believe it would be around in January - until January actually arrived. That is an underhanded sales tactic. They know how the modding community makes their games what they are. They basically promised their game would get better in 3 months after release. Aaaand nope.

Experiment in imagination - Picture those sales numbers from last year if Bethesda admitted to the world the Creation Kit wouldn't be available until May of 2016. That was a whole lot of dirty sales tactics to not admit the lifeblood of all Bethesda games - modding - would be stifled for 6 months, twice as long as even New Vegas (which was worth waiting for).

By the time Bethesda gets the Creation Kit out, the interest in the game will have faded substantially. We already see a ton of mods that aren't kept up to date because people have moved on. The Nexus is like a garbage heap with outdated mods. Bethesda really messed up by waiting so long. It was a big injustice to the 1st wave of players. The game is on the 3rd wave of players now, with the 1st and 2nd ones already having left after playing an inferior product because they didn't have complete community support via complex mods. I quit about 2 months ago. I have a season pass, and haven't even bothered coming back to try the DLC. Frankly, the game wasn't as good as it should have been and it's painful to replay. That is where complex mods are needed.

In response to post #34714565. #34718485, #34720180, #34724595, #34724720, #34725835 are all replies on the same post. Regarding Epoling's post. I have no idea why you'd want to look at this site on a mobile. Are you going to download the addon to your Mod Manager on your mobile? Can your mod browsing not wait until you get home? Seems like a huge waste of resources to expect a site like this to cater to that demand. I'd like to see stats on what devices most of their traffic comes from. I realize things change, but I hate to see it happen sometimes. This site, for example, is a classic web site design. It is sleek, incredibly fast and responsive, and easy to find what you're looking for without pictures and shiny objects everywhere. What you kids probably don't notice (because you grew up with it), is the very slight delay in highlighting when you mouse over all those fancy new tiles people keep making sites with. When you mouse over text or a raw html img insert, it highlights instantly. (as you'd see on a classic website, like this). For a generation that is so easily distracted, you'd think they would notice. That's not a big deal if you're used to it. But there are lots and lots of these "not a big deals" on modern websites. Kids will never really understand how fast and responsive a web site can be, because they rarely see them. They think it means bandwidth/load time when people say a web page is fast and responsive. It doesn't. Or didn't used to, anyway. Now things are ridiculously cluttered with raw text in HTML replaced by a script or image at every possible place. Anyway, things change. Whatever. Just ranting.
