The new version is awful for reasons that others stated better, ranging from "look and feel" to functionality. Personally, I prefer the much darker interface. In any case, I hope NexusMods is not following the familiar pattern we have all seen before: ( -> = "changes into" ) It's free! -> New design! It's free but ad supported! -> It's free but ad supported and even more free to premium members! -> New design! Some 'design' changes make it even less free -> We have many paid members now, So who cares about non-premium opinion? -> ** Announcement: We will soon be going 100% commercial - Premium only ** possibly the current stage Eventually, they start with the premium level "packages", which make even subscribers into peons in one overnight redesign. lol Saw all this on music sites, NZB sites, etc. over the years. The Internet Chess Club comes to mind. Its creator wanted it to be forever free. Once a certain guy got his mitts on the code, the above progression was followed. And with each evolution, those who paid less were ignored more, Fortunately, there is one final evolution. Somebody with tons of "content" (mods/utils) simply opens a FREE site. He adds a forum to it, and the cycle can begin once more.
