Any update after all these years?

In response to post #67937096. #67941336, #67941861, #67942656, #67944211, #67955146, #67968296, #68010096, #68052361 are all replies on the same post. I think the best thing to call them that doesn't have negative or misleading connotations would be "Mod Profiles", as it sounds like they intend for them to just be mod profiles. From and that they intend for the end result to function like mod packs, but for the process to involve no actual packed archives of mods as has previously been the norm. With Vortex's Profile system the most viable method to accomplish this is it to have a file created and exported by Vortex that when imported tells Vortex to download a list of mods from Nexus Mods , install them, then activate and deploy them according to the included profile in exactly the same way Vortex currently does when we switch between our own mod profiles. If you already had mods installed you'd have to activate them afterwards with the new profile active profile. This way you would have your old mod profiles and the "mod pack" profile and can switch between and modify them as you like.

I've bought so many games so cheap I'll never finish them all, one more free one won't hurt. :P

Now that it's in Beta I'll install it and use it for new games and some of my older games with few mods like Dark Souls, but I'm not ready to commit to re-installing and re-merging my 581 Fallout 4 mods. I did that once when I had half that and it took a week to get a completely stable load order.

Yay another, hopefully something to add to my $0.40 Steam balance.

Would love to get Vampyr and many other games on my Steam wishlist with this while the summer sale is going =)

In response to post #55752761. Seconded. And they're just plain cool. I expect since it's a soft launch they'll implement that later.

START SMALL: Best advice ever. I've made a few mods per game for myself since Morrowind but never published one till Fallout 4. I simply made some conduits and switches that didn't radiate power and decided to publish it. Then another author who made a mod at the same time that added pylons that radiated power at several increasingly higher distances asked if I'd like to work together on his. After a few months PCPO went to having a dozen options for every conduit, pylon, and switch, to adding Contraptions Workshop power radiators, to me learning my first bit of scripting with injecting a construction menu. Then the Vault Workshop came out along with mods that made new "vaults" to use it, and I thought I'd like to make my own that's an actual vault with a backstory and not just a cubic cave. Boy did I get in over my head. When I considered I'd have to do navmeshing, get a custom vault door texture, and make the construction elevator I wanted to use animated (because for some reason it's static) I had to take a step back. Then my part-time job went full-time, so I don't really feel like making mods on my weekends when I can be playing.

Ah! Behold, now a new message appears... "Cannot reach the Nexus login server. Either your firewall is blocking NMM or the login server is down." Enabled "ALLOW" for all inbound and outbound connections, and still NMM is being a tit. I assume that the server is down. I guess I'll try my luck tomorrow. Gnite! Yup, Server Maintenance. After 10 minutes of failed connections the site now shows a server maintenance page.

Nexusmods.com is down. http://currentlydown.com/nexusmods.com EDIT: Server maintenance.

Nexusmods.com is down, not a NMM problem. Was about to publish a long ENB settings post so now TooLong:Don'tWanaRewrite. http://currentlydown.com/nexusmods.com EDIT: Server maintenance.

In response to post #43228135. #43228440, #43228710, #43228800, #43229750, #43229950, #43230240, #43231080, #43231240, #43232990, #43248095 are all replies on the same post. As a college student who took C++ and had the most ambitious final group-project in the class -- making an ASCII maze that appeared 3D -- bug-testing is an enormous amount of work. I had to combine my code with that of two other people who had different styles and methods and it took a full week of debugging up to second the instructor called on us to even get it to work visually. Working on something that was originally conceived by a different programmer and built up by others over a decade can only result in something astronomically convoluted eventually (like the Gamebryo Engine). I'm wholeheartedly on board with the decision to make a new one from scratch, especially accompanying a site redesign. I only hope both can exceed our expectations. Glad virtualization will be optional as Tannin42 posted, as I personally only use one mod profile, and after trying Multi-HardDrive mode once I'm not going to bother as Fallout 4 and Skyrim are the only big games installed on my 250GB SSD and I still have 100GB to spare. Any other games go on my 1TB drive.

So the Nexus had a growth spurt thanks to the File Front archives, is getting a new face with a website redesign, has a new voice named Jim, AND will get a heart transplant with a rebuilt-from-scratch Mod Manager?! The world isn't ready for the amount of awesome that is about to be unleashed. I'm so hyped up and feel guilty for being a free-user for so many years, so I just bought Premium Membership. P.S. Your last name is awesome Jim.

In response to post #43246710. That's become especially evident with Fallout 4: many times a mod has failed to install or uninstall and NMM closes itself, then when I get the mod to install/uninstall I find there are loose files from the previously failed attempts that I have to clean out manually.

In response to post #42031025. #42032155 is also a reply to the same post. I actually read TOS too for many sites. Not in full, but I spend 2-5 minutes looking through the usual Do's-and-Dont's, content rights, and looking for anything that stands out that I haven't seen before. It almost always boils down to something along the lines of "No hate-speech, no illegal stuff, our stuff is ours, yours is yours/may be used by us (depending on type of site), use some common sense."

Something I put in my suggestions for improvement was options for the user to choose how the mods are displayed on the page, like how there is flat and block. Something I'd very much like to see and use is a hybrid of the flat and block which shows both the mod image and all the info and description under it or to the side without having to hover over each one individually.

In response to post #41280505. I can understand some sort of limit to keep user data storage low on the servers. Just 8 is a bit low, hopefully will be increased once the new site is more fleshed out.

In response to post #41277490. #41277685, #41278220, #41278890 are all replies on the same post. Apply your rules universally if you truly believe them, not just to modders. No Bethesda game would ever be released, because there is no limit to human's stupidity and creativity. We can try forever to make a perfect game or mod, but all it takes is one mistake on the creator's part or one inconceivable set of coincidences by a player to create a bug. That's why Nexus Mods has bug reports. I have one mod I work on and have over a dozen hours invested in it, and it still needs some kinks sorted out. Personally, my one mod is a lone esp, so I assume anyone coming to Nexus Mods is completely capable of installing it without my help. Plenty of that can be found with a google search. Most mods I've seen do have detailed enough descriptions if they're more complicated than that, but maybe I'm just more picky about what mods I even look at in the first place. If you've seen it with recent mods, ask the author to fix it. Don't try and get Nexus Mods to force them to. Nexus Mods is so popular because it is just as friendly to mod authors as it is to mod users.

In response to post #40542075. #40542395, #40543100, #40545160, #40545230, #40545760, #40545795, #40549630, #40564340, #40604010, #40661695 are all replies on the same post. I haven't had to log back in to the nexus for months, and I'm using Firefox. Might be because I always open the site by clicking a mod-page link from NMM.

In response to post #38270470. My dad had an old Farmall H from the 40s that still worked just fine. Someone had done a not well thought-out job of putting a hydraulic 3point hitch on so it didn't actually stay where you put it, but it worked. He still had the owners manual for it, so when the 6volt starter died he was able to find a 12volt for it no problem. Of course with the internet it's much easier to find stuff, but imagine if ebay shut down? How many times have we all bought replacement parts for our stuff? Getting a little long winded, so, thank you for saving the storehouse of all the replacement parts for all those games :)

In response to post #37761110. It's certainly not iritating me at least.

So far none of the adds have been high-def videos (just low-def or slideshows), none have replaced the Nexus background, none have opened popups (though i left that option of adblock on all sites before - it's off on Nexus now). It is a bit of a buzzkill when someone is watching Netflix and i'm browsing, but the adds thankfully seem to load after the Nexus content so it hasn't really bogged down loading the page any more than usual.

In response to post #37299430. #37310900, #37329405, #37347555, #37348475, #37382930 are all replies on the same post. Several of my mods don't seem to be checked for updates at all and some get bogus numbers like "Recruitable NPC Dialogue Fixes" gets 9999.9 for the new version number.

Truly astonishing what has been done. May be a bit premature, but...

An add for Overwatch is replacing the webpage background/sidebars. Can't report it so posting here.
