OP, currently the easiest way to find the mod related forums for the game you're actually concerned about is to click the "forum" link in the upper right hand of the Nexusmods site for that game, it'll take you directly to that game's specific subforums and you can repost there or hopefully find an existing topic that will help you. Good luck.

Not that I'm aware of. It is possible to have a friend on Discord that's not on both Nexusmods and the forums but the forums and the mod site are intrinsically linked, if imperfectly at times.

In order to set it so that you have to approve a friend request before it shows up on your profile you need to go to edit your profile from this side (the forum side) there's a box under the "profile settings" tab in the "friends" section. As for managing your friends once you've got them you can do it in your preferences as well under "ignore."

I'm sorry this is the subforum for site feedback and questions - not for whatever game you're having problems with (you didn't mention). To find the correct subforum for your game please start at the mod site for it, then click on "forums" in the upper right hand corner. That will take you immediately to all the subforums related specifically with your game. You can then search those forums using the search field in the upper right hand corner of the page to see if anyone has a solution to your problem and if not, then repost your question there.

Ok. We've had a lot of people come and try to jump into modding without knowing much about their computers before and I'll tell you the same thing they all hear: you're going to have to be willing to learn. All of it. Starting with those first two questions I asked that you glossed over. You need to know your OS (operating system) because Windows (the most common OS for gamers) has recent versions that will cause havoc with your mods if your game was installed to the default location. Which is why I asked where Steam (the most common place pc gamers get their games) is installed because if you have other moddable games from it installed to the wrong location - sooner or later you will experience problems. Modding PC games is not for the casual gamer, there is going to be a lot of reading and patience involved. Generally it's recommended to have steam installed to a separate "games" folder instead of program files where it likes to default to keep from having problems with mods. Google will find you a quick tutorial on how to locate and move your steam install. As for explaining the minutia of proper mod installation let alone download please google how to do so, there are numerous written and video tutorials out there to assist you in further figuring out what is going wrong.

Ok... well there's a lot of things that could be going on and you haven't really given us any information that we can begin to use to figure out how to help you. First start off by telling me where you installed steam to and what OS you're using? Also what mods did you download and with what program? Generally if you're new to mods, it's suggested you start off with one mod at a time so pick one mod for us to focus on as we go forward.

Basically you can have as many copies of Skyrim installed from steam to as many different pc's as you want. You can only play one at a time and keeping your mod lists the same isn't generally as easy as copy pasting your data folder but no one's gonna hunt you down for installing more than one legal copy.

I believe there's a glitch that makes Nexus mod avatars take a while to refresh from your forum profile and there's nothing to be done about it but to wait a bit for it to pick up the avatar you have here.

The only time Nexus takes a mod down when asked to do so by an an outside party, Bethesda included, is when that mod is a copyright violation. For that to happen with a mod available on Nexus, the uploader would first have to obtain the original content off of whatever site the original creator uses to share and then upload that content in whole or in part here, someone would then have to download the mod, realize that it's a complete or partial rip and launch requests for removal. That's the procedure. Period. That doesn't change whether or not it's a free mod that's been infringed or a paid one. If someone sees a mod on a marketplace, is inspired to create a new mod that fills the same nitch and even looks damn close to the original but doesn't rip off or reuse any of the inspiring mod's content - that's not grounds for removal. This procedure is unlikely to change in near future so relax.

Already done, do a search on the mod site for "body mods" and you'll be spoiled for choice.

Nothing for it but to wait and see. Ways this could not suck: more and better quality quest mods that add hours of gameplay to the games we love and actually see those modders that put in that kind of time and effort (usually at the sacrifice of other areas of their lives) get a little financial compensation for their efforts. Ways this could suck: Utility mods that other interesting, varied, and sometimes quite small, mods depend on being curated only and therefor kind of mandatory to those that really want to indulge in their mod use obsessions. Desperately needed graphic enhancements with hefty price tags. It'll depend on what kind of mods and how many modders end up curated but at this point it's too early to panic.

It's a port from another game originally so unless that game has open permissions for porting or you've also obtained permissions from that game's devs, then no, it's probably not allowed to be posted here.

Oh I'm so sorry I misrepresented your numbers in ignorance that really throws everything else I had to say right out the window. I can see it's a point of pride and it's obvious I hurt yours if that's enough to make everything else seem completely unimportant. The old chat wasn't capable of supporting more than 40 or so people without suffering horrible lag. That doesn't mean more people didn't want to use it, simply that it wasn't possible to really accommodate those numbers. I'll give discord that, it definitely hasn't flinched with numbers growing ever larger and never seeming to decrease despite people needing to do things like sleep, eat, work and go to school but I'm sure that's just me being ignorant on how the chat works again. You thought the old chat was full of cliques and lots of unnecessary reporting but you want the new chat to ping you directly whenever there's an issue and this is somehow going to increase your enjoyment. I don't see it at all but it's your baby raise it however you want. Just don't be surprised when some people think your kid has no manners and they don't want to spend any time with it.

Yes the old chat had trolls - it also had staff working hard to elevate the problems pretty much around the clock. The new chat has the same problems as the old chat, magnified by additional numbers and while staff appears to be there seeing what's going on but not actually doing anything about it. Old chat yes has it's issues but if staff was present when someone was being a troll they didn't need a report to take care of the issue. And I'm sorry but when I'm in chat specifically saying that it's an unpleasant environment with all the trolls and staff stops by to say "hi" but still does nothing that doesn't really make me feel more confident in them but yup that's my fault for not knowing how to report someone or that I should be doing so every time there is an issue. If I'm going to have to report every troll, spammer or harasser I see in discord then I'm going to need to know how that works. So tell me how to make a report from discord that's not connected to nexus? The profiles aren't connected to nexus so I can't click their avatar to make a report and their usernames can and often are different, not that it's possible to search nexus for a user by name either. If I report them on discord what, exactly, does that do? Yes I'm very aware of the old spammer that came back to chat many many times, usually you can spot them by their love of "eggs" so shall I report every user that's seems to have too much interest in ovarian edibles or wait till they hit me with the cp? So far I have no indication that they wouldn't just have a field day with discord as I have not seen a single kick or ban and have had no indication that either would be permanent the way they are on Nexus, if users can just change their name on the fly how do bans even work? What are the consequences for a particularly heinous ban in the new chat here? Are there any? Or is it a great place for people who are unsatisfied with a modder to hop in spew some threats knowing their account here is safe and they can continue to utilize the sites resources incognito? Up to this point I've tried to use reports for direct rule violations only (of which the new chat seems to have none) so pardon me for not knowing I should be pinging you every time someone posts an objectionable link or says something offensive. Yes you're right, I've already stated I won't be using it not because I don't like it but because I have no intention of going for a friendly chat and instead wading through the cesspool that is humanity without a filter on the internet - that doesn't mean I shouldn't point out it's problems in the hopes that they can be fixed and I might return. Of course so far I'm not seeing any indication that you care about any of these issues so I guess I'm just tossing cold water on your new toy party. Party on (I guess).

So far I haven't seen anything about discord that makes me think of it as a success. Except maybe that it supports more trolls and lurkers at once without crashing than the old chat does. Can't even remove my account there - you have to wait for it to go "inactive" which takes days leading me to think much less of the "900-1000 users online" in a day statement. How many of those are people who signed in to take a look at the new features, came across a troll spouting off something unpleasant or spamming the main room with porn and then popped right back out again never to return?
