Kontrary Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Ah, Something I've just noticed is that on the homepage/games page for the game, when you're in the "more mods" section, with the new layout the Author's name is missing, although the Uploader's name is still readily visible. I would argue being able to immediately see the original Author's name is quite vital information. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urah1985 Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 I would say it's even more imortant than uploader's name 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lollia Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 I said it back in early February and I will say it again: Without the individual mods that go into them, Collections amount to very pretty looking but mostly empty gift boxes. My linked comment mentions how poor to non-existant communication happens to be between Collection curators and the mod authors whose creations they utilize, so seeing Collections (which have their own part of the site to begin with) sharing space with individual mods is adding insult to injury. If you are so intent on having Collections sharing space on the individual mods side of the site, then are you planning to do the same and advertise individual mods on the Collections side of the site as well? What's good for the goose is good for the gander. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't like them or want to engage with them, all I can say is the majority of people do and anyone complaining about them in this thread is in a vocal minority. Our data proves this, I hope that as a developer with 21 years experience you'll appreciate a data driven approach. Expand The unwillingness to accommodate experienced users is remarkable. It can't be that difficult to make the display of collections a switchable option. As far as I'm concerned, switch it on by default, but give users the choice. I don't know why, but it sounds unbelievable that it is the minority of users. It is much more likely that a feature that has been worked on for years has to be marketed for profit. It doesn't matter how many years of experience as a developer you have; it's not a data-driven approach if the data is not publicly accessible. As long as you're just claiming that it's nothing more than anecdotal evidence 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And in the meantime, you expect me to scroll through all my mods to see if there any new comments? This makes it seriously more difficult for mod authors to engage with their users. Isn't this something you wanted to encourage with the DP changes? Expand We're discussing internally whether https://www.nexusmods.com/mods/trackingcentre is a better home for it. If we can, we'll move it there soon. I need to pull some developers in to look at it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nom0ri Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 There need to be an option to hide the "collections" section when on the main page of games... It feels way too big and just in the way, especially for games where Vortex doesn't even correctly handle the mods, making collections nothing more that a recommendation lists. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has always been Description, Author and Uploader filters. These aren't new and existed on the old page too, they work in exactly the same way. Expand And now they're hidden at the side, and the 'Show filters' seems a lot smaller. How does that help? The issue was not about the Description, Author, and Uploader filters being present, but the fact that you can't filter on Title anymore. For an update that only added a claimed better search functionality, it's mind-boggling you purposely left out the most basic of functions. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand The filters on the left are actually expanded and open by default now, rather than hidden. Thanks for the clarification on the search filters. I'm trying to understand better the exact problem you're having. Would you be able to provide an example search that isn't returning the mod you're looking for? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isguros Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 On 3/19/2025 at 9:00 AM, Iluviel said: 'Trending' is mods released in the the last X days (where X is determined by a database field, for SSE it is 7 days), sorted by endorsements. It is not, and never has been, based on download stats in any way. The "old" page worked in more or less the same way, so functionally nothing has changed here. All we've done is remove the 'Trending' sort option, because it does exactly the same thing as 'Endorsements'. If you want to sort by trending, sort by endorsements and you'll get the same result. Expand If nothing has changed, why has it changed so much? 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maurice825 Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Whoa, I did not see this update coming, and I do not feel any type of natural flow to it. Every item seems to be too big on my screen (1980x1080). and everything seems to be less clustered, as before we had a small preview window(hot mods), and the the mod list directly below it. (Or something like that, im trying to explain/sketch the image) This gave me a quick summary of what i might have missed in since my last visit. Right now i feel like its just thumbnails, which are too large and they make it more time consuming to find/scroll through mods or hot mods like i used to do. I do not feel like i have an overview of anything, there is no summary. There probably is, but it doesnt feel like it to me. I would like to add, that normally i am not one to compain, as i see a lot of hard work has gone into this, and load times have improved. For me, the old and reliable Nexus feel is gone, which is what nexus made nexus unique in my opinion, and which was my reasoning to keep using it. Edit: I forgot to add; I used the colors which underlined things previously for navigation. it made the site more accessible. I'm missing the color accents, in those navigational aids. Without them the site is way less easier to use for me. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
