Kaldoreign Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 I find the best way to find new interesting mods is to occasionally check the most popular / downloaded mods in the last 30 days. This keeps the list fresh and up-to-date compared to the "top of all times" which tends to snowball with popular mods while the rest eventually drop to the bottom if they don't gain immediate traction. For example, skyrim and fallout top mods have been pretty much the same ones for years now. The issue is, you can't see anything before the last 30 days - you can't check what were the most popular mods 4 months ago or a year ago when a big update happened. I wish we could get that info and see it in some way on the site, like top leaderboards per month instead of just one global top list. Since nexusmods stores data on when every user last downloaded a particular mod I imagine this data already exists, just isn't displayed anywhere.

Pickysaurus Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 The timescales are fixed at the moment, it's something we could improve. In the meantime you can use the Mod of the Month pages for an overview of popular mods each month: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/motm (This is separate to hot files/trending) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showler Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 In the "new mods this week" section you can set a date range and sort by endorsements/downloads. That might work as a substitute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is based on user votes rather than actual download/trending rate as you said but it might still be useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
