What is going into your collection?

[Raptilize]

I figured I would ask this because I'm just curious about something I never really considered using. Historically speaking, only about 1/3 to maybe 1/2 of the mods I use in most games ever come from Nexusmods file archive. So, I have a few questions if ya'll can indulge me.

 

• What types of mods typically go into collections?

• How would I get everything in/from one place? Can I?

• How do they deal with offsite requirements?

• How do they deal with offsite requirements that are subject to change?

• How much of a collection is all automation?

• Do they work just to get the mods downloaded onto my machine or are they considered properly installed after download?

• Do they typically come with complete guides like STEP or am I doing all the heavy lifting?
  
• What is the benefit of using a collection vs coming up with my own list?

• What type of person benefits most from collections? Is it an everybody thing or as a picky person should I just ignore the concept?

• Do I need to consider my download options? How so?

• Is it fun to use collections?

 

That last one might sound like a dumb question. Its not, for me anyway. I get a real kick out of tailoring my play-through "just so..." Am I going to miss out on that experience? I find when I build the thing, I get to immerse myself into the aspects of my play through that I'm trying to focus on. Am I gonna miss out on the depth of that in my game play because I haven't spent the time familiarizing myself with everything in a collection? If I'm going to spend so much time becoming familiar with what I'm doing should I use a collection anyway to save on download time or by using a collection am I limiting my familiarity. Is all going to be made clear in the guide?

I confess I have no experience with these whatsoever. I also confess that I'm assuming collections, or the like, are not a Nexusmods exclusive and they are basing their decision off a proven enterprise. What has your experience been?

Please don't feel you have to weigh in on everything at once. Unless you are just that much of an expert lol.

As we haven't release (or even fully announced) Collections yet, it would be difficult to answer these questions. Keep an eye on the site news over the coming months for a full announcement of our upcoming system and that may answer your questions.
