Mod Browsing Overhaul Discussion

[johanis666]

I really hope they keep the language selections and the option to filter out translations. Now beta has been removed, the mod page is flooded with the damn things.

Sorry to say, but this new design is simply TERRIBLE!

Oh hi, RSI, my old friend! I've come to scroll to you again

What's with the new u l t r a - w i d e letter spacing in the comments section (probably, everywhere else too), by the way??

[JobiWanUK]

I've suddenly switched to this. It's confusing because links (including author names) are now in orange which was traditionally the colour for Oldrim and SE was in blue. I thought I was on the wrong mod section for a minute.

I don't like it. Why change the colours to something that used to be for something different?

Things look different than they did 11 hours ago and I'm confused, what's going on..?

The beta is closing today and they have started to push the changes live on the site.

The Mod Browsing Beta will be closing on 10th March. Thank you for all your feedback over both the open and closed betas, which we have run across the last few months!
We will begin to push those changes live on the website. To ensure that this does not cause issues that disrupt your use of the site, we will be rolling out the various changes over the next few weeks. 

What is changing?

• Updated styles across many different pages
• New search experience
• New Games page
• New Game Home page
• New Mods Listing page
• New Image Listing page
• New Video Listing page
• Moving all pages to the www.nexusmods.com domain. Pages will no longer be hosted on next.nexusmods.com
  Plus lots more!

Are we stopping work on mod browsing once the rollout is complete?

No. We still have some work left to do, including further improvements to the search experience and any performance improvements we deem necessary. We'll also be very carefully considering your feedback from additional HotJar surveys, the Forums and Discord. 

 

How have we been assessing your feedback?

We have been using various locations to gather feedback across the forums, feedback pop-ups, Discord, other community locations, and site usage data. 

Here is an overview of the feedback we have received from the pop-ups. 

Game listing pages scored 4.4/5 (113 responses)
Mod listing pages scored 4.3/5 (756 responses)
Game home pages scored 4.0/5 (1,219 responses)

We carefully evaluated all the feedback and made some difficult decisions about which changes to implement. In the end, our design reflects the collective input of the wider community, prioritising the features and adjustments that the majority of users wanted.

I loved the beta a lot more than the original page. I browse only Planet Zoo mods though, so can't speak for Skyrim, Stardew etc. 
However, I would really love the "beta" page to be rolled out soon. I especially liked the idea that the mods of the last two weeks or so were shown as new mods, not just the mods published today (i.e. within the last 24 hours).

I loved the test

I really hope the beta features roll out. I loved the search UI so much and found so many new mods I never would have before. But now it's gone, I'm back to trawling through the "top" page for mods

I thought whoever worked on the new UI did a really good job, and I very much hope it comes back, or at the very least I can swap over to it again.

Other than the search, I honestly loved all the features and designs, and was kind of shocked when I was greeted with the old UI again.

This. The new style is fine but please add back the specific game colours.
