I currently use it for Skyrim, Oblivion, and Morrowind, because I switch between playing all three and modding them.

I'll be more interested in seeing what the mod pages and mod search will get redesigned to look like. I do hope there will be a list view option for when searching for mods at least. That's much easier for me to find what I'm looking for (like the flat option that's here for mod searches now). I suppose the profiles are another thing I'm curious about, and the tracking center, downloaded mods, etc, but obviously I'm going to have to wait until something is ready to show.


This indeed.

Wish to see what individual game's pages will look like, I usually go directly to those. Also, I visit more than eight different games, so eight favourites on the home page will not make me want to use that more, to be honest.

Want to know if I can still view those in list format rather than the awkward spread of a column/row presentation. List view with summary information just like it is now, without a mouse-over event, it really helps me as opposed to a thumbnail with - to me - irrelevant information such as how many liked and downloaded it.

I think, overall, it looks really nice. I am in agreement with The Girl Next Door on having a list format when viewing mod catalogs. I am hoping that there will still be the option switch between the "flat" view and "block" views like we currently have.

I had to watch it twice because the first time I was lulled in to a blissful stupor by your voice, Blindjudge. :)

 

It looks very nice and obviously it has a great deal of effort put into it. I am looking forward to seeing about those collections (is that right?) and things, and the search functions. I think the search functions along with the filterings are something that many folks don't seem to know about or make proper use of it.

 

It would even be nice, once this is done to make a video, not unlike this, as a Nexus Site Tutorial or something showing the features. Hey maybe Gofer would do it? lol

 

Thanks for sharing some progress. I look forward to seeing more of the hard work.

It's definitely brilliant looking for today's standards, but I will always prefer the more classic style we currently have.

 

The new features are, of course, great additions to making the site easier to navigate nonetheless.

The most important thing of all, in my view, is that the site continues to work without having to download and execute javascript from third party servers. As long as I can use a web site without pulling untrusted stuff from half a dozen other hosts, I'm generally pretty appreciative of whatever effort people have put into their site's design.
