Dark0ne, thank you for noticing my feedback. I always loved Nexus, thank you for your work on it, and like I said, I've used it for 12 years, and I will still use it if I can since it dominates the modding scene for the games I love. I've even considered going premium in certain months when I followed massive mod guides, like Lexy's, that send you to download hundreds of mods for it to work, and can take a very long wait time to download, with download errors as well, and to show my support as well. Until this change I felt I had no reason to complain, but this is a modification that I feel is going too far, and has blown away my joining premium thoughts for now. Adds I understand, slow speed, okay, I get it, but to be constantly reminded on every single file of every single mod for ten seconds that the download is slow is nerve-racking. Is this the right attitude to convince people to join premium? Sure, some people will give up and pay to escape that annoyance, although its a weird motivation to pay premium, when it should be about supporting something you like, but what about the people that maybe can't afford premium right now, or the ones that download just a few mods, or follow a guide once and go away for months/years, and aren't such a massive strain on the site. Should we feel like the enemy every single time we download a single file? Even the way you mention the fact that I've downloaded so many mods, it looks like you are confirming what I said in my previous reply, that we" are the enemy, we are the rude ones, the evil greedy ones, that don't want to pay up monthly to get free mods", and to add now, also ungrateful. We are all fans of great mods and awesome mod makers, just wanting to have some fun.

If you think its such an understandable change, try it. Make a test account without premium and try to download 100 mods, with no addblock. You would think you were on a scam site, with some adds even blocked by the antivirus. Then maybe you would be able to empathize a little with my complaint. Just criticizing me is not helpful to the website, I am at least giving my feedback, while others that are bothered by it stay silent, and just get used to it, give up and pay or abandon modding. You show the mentality that seems obvious from the ones who took the decision to add the "slow fast" extra click, that we free users are the enemy, we are the rude ones, the evil greedy ones, that don't want to pay up monthly to get free mods. This sounds like the start of death of modding, if more and more measures like this would be implemented on nexus and other sites like moddb, until they become unusable. Its unbelievable how people can think that these kinds of hostile changes are defensible in any way. To get monthly payments from users the best approach is to convince them that its the nice thing to do for the great service you are getting, not annoy them into submission, with slow speed, dangerous adds, and useless clicks. Its crazy that this is considered acceptable.

They didn't "have" to do it, like they didn't for 12 years so far. They chose to do it, in a very rude way. I don't want to pay premium because I am a simple casual user, always was. I usually follow some guide once a few months/years to enjoy some Skyrim/Oblivion/Fallout, and that's it. I never cared about download speed, I get it that its slow to save money, and I don't complain about that, never did. Am I one of the users that should just quit? Is the site transforming into something meant only for serious modders that invest a lot of time for the perfect mod lists? With this change it sure feels that way.

If this would happen a lot of people would quit modding. I don't think that mod creators would be thrilled about that either. Free mods on a not so free site.

Is this how you go along in life? Just take it from the man with no comment, no protest? Its not like this was a necessary change, the site worked fine for 12 years+ without it, it was a change made to annoy people into buying premium. I can at least complain about it, and its a justified complaint. Its just an annoying, ill-intentioned, unneeded change to the site.

I admire your patience. Too bad we are forced to get used to an ill-intentioned annoyance, right now I don't feel up to it. It's NOT ill intentioned, there are people here who have been using the Nexus for FREE for 10 - 12 years, and never have and never will pay, it costs money to keep the nexus online, unfortunately out of 18 million members, around only 186,000 actually pay for premium, while some people pay nothing at all. So, now, to keep using Nexus for free, you have to be slightly inconvenienced, and that's a lot less than the Nexus is inconvenienced because of people not paying. It's a fair trade. It is ill-intentioned obviously. The message is clear, and you see it yourself from your comment: "If you don't pay, FU, here is slow download speed, and annoying popups until you do." Slow speed I could understand, but timed popups for each file are inexcusable. @1ae0bfb8 Its not that, it get very tiresome and annoying after a while to see after each file "slow download, fast download" "slow download, fast download" "slow download, fast download" "slow download, fast download". Its not about a protest, its about getting sick of always seeing it and clicking on it, for no reason, just because they wanted to punish us non paying sinners. Its like, I get it, its slow, no need to tell me a million times and make me click on slow each and every time. Its ridiculous.

I admire your patience. Too bad we are forced to get used to an ill-intentioned annoyance, right now I don't feel up to it.

Well, that sucks. Annoying people seems to work in that case for some, which is bad news for us that just get angry and protest against it. I wanted to start a new Lexy's Skyrim reinstall, but with so many mods to install, and with that freaking popup appearing at every single file I'll give up and play something else that doesn't require mods. This is the first time it has happened to me in I don't know how many years I've been using Nexus, since modding Oblivion and Morrowind (profile made in 2008, so since then, 12 years).

Come on, are you serious about keeping that slow - fast download pop up? Its freaking horrible and just rude. How can you expect to convince us to move to premium like this? You simply don't deserve any support under these conditions, and most people annoyed by this useless and annoying popup will think the same. The actual effect you get, instead of getting more people to give you money, is that you just push people away from modding in general. I don't know who took that decision to add it and to keep it, ignoring the protests against it, but he should reconsider, its counterproductive.

That change that forces you to pick slow or fast download of every file downloaded is very frustrating, and that is putting it mildly. I understand you might want to push more people to buy premium, but this not the way, please change it back to how it was for so many years. How could you even imagine it might work, by frustrating people until they give up? Not a fun way to persuade loyal users. Thank you.

I also have this problem, 20 kb download speed with both MO and manual. I had no problems a couple of days ago.

Maybe using a mod order guide would help you, since there are a ton of conflicts that could cause the crashes. I have hundreds of mods installed and 0 crashes, with this guide: https://wiki.step-project.com/User:DarkladyLexy/Lexys_LOTD_SE

The new site design, while it looks better, is very confusing. I have a hard time finding what information I need when looking at a mod.

+1 I would also like to know that.

I saw people claiming that they won't move to SSE because of ENB, so if ENB doesn't get updated, there will be two Skyrim modding communities, for the original and SSE. Personally, I moved completely to SSE and don't intend to go back to the original.

The problem was EquipmentMode from OR. Once I set that to 0 the CTD was fixed. Just leaving the solution here for other people that might encounter the same problem.

Hello, Maskar, glad to see you. Love your new patch, by the way, just didn't get the chance to see much of it yet, thanks to this problem. So I'm not the only one with this problem at least, then. I was thinking that Oblivion Reloaded might have something to do with it, but I disabled a lot of the gameplay aspects it adds from the start, and looking through its menu and ini, I can't see the connection between the graphic options, and the arrow looting. Maybe the memory purge could affect the game so? Edit: Tested the memory purge and it isn't to blame.

Hello, everybody. I've made a new pretty big install, but trying to be somewhat careful not to install too much. Seems I wasn't careful enough, since now, like I said in the title, I get a CTD when looting arrows. Haven't advanced any more to check if something else is broken, but it might. Did anyone encounter this? Here is my load order:

ASIS is essential in today's installs. Maybe ask about compatibility with it in the ASIS or Improved ASIS Ini files subforums. I suspect you don't need to do that much for compatibility, since it has its own patcher, but better make sure.

For mod ideas look at the best guides around: http://wiki.step-project.com/User:Neovalen/Skyrim_Revisited_-_Legendary_Edition , http://wiki.step-project.com/Pack:Explorers_Guide , http://wiki.step-project.com/STEP:2.2.9.1 , http://skyrimgems.com/

I released a simple bandit mod 2 days ago and have over 200 d/l's already, OK its not setting the world alight with excitement but yes theres still a ton of people playing and there probably isnt going to be new elder scrolls game for at least a year. If just one other person is getting the benefit of a mod I wrote for my own use then thats a bonus as far as I am concerned. 200 dl's in two days is pretty good :)

That's the plan, but still, working on something and then be ignored, its not so enjoyable :) .

Okay, cool, thanks for the reply :smile: . Can't wait to play your mod. About you illusion perk question, maybe put more emphasis on the invisibility aspects of illusion somehow? I love playing as a mage assassin, and I mostly sneak around, using illusion to hide better.

Your mod looks really cool. Just curious, do you plan to make some sort of compatibility patches for mods that add spells, like Apocalypse Spell Package?

Okay, thank you for the replies :) . I will start working on it and introduce it as soon as I get to a pre-alpha stage.
