Shade088 Posted March 20 Posted March 20 I'm so glad I purchased a lifetime membership just to see this website get worse over time. 4 7 5

Everything else, is just bad. Im not sure how to give constructive feedback for that. Its really not possible. This needs to be reverted, but keep the new search. And bring back text colors for the games. It'd be nice if the search popup was a toggle. I can't stand the full-screen popup and keybinds I can't disable. Usually I would just change that myself using the extension Stylus, but the Nexus' web team made sure that wasn't doable on the majority of the site. Someone on their team found a toy and made damn sure they were going to use it despite it being a sign of bad design. 6 1
CaptainKashup Posted March 20 Posted March 20 Going to echo what everyone else is saying : This new design is absolutely terrible, confusing and slow. At least give us the option to go back to the old one. I'm not going to bother with modding my game anymore if I have to fight with this hellhole of a design 14
SnakeSlippers Posted March 20 Posted March 20 I'm sorry I love this site but this new layout is the worst thing I ever seen. Give us a option for the old style. And punch in the face whoever decided to mess with the search bar. If I search for a "mod" on a "modding" website to "mod" my game why the f*#@ are "mods" not the first thing it searchs by? It searchs by content like I give a dam about pictures or other silly s#*!. Should search MODS first. 15

I don't understand why the web dev team are doing everything in their power to close any loopholes that allow people to make the site more functional for them. Is there any legitimate reason for it? I've honestly canceled my monthly subscription based on the response from the team. I could understand if they said they will work on improvements, but people made complaints during the beta period which were all ignored. 14

There really isn't any real reason for someone to use Shadow Root, but they made sure that the search popup is fully within it when on the majority of the website. If any site makes use of it, it's often because they'd rather force their users into using what they made. There's a bit of irony when considering this being Nexus Mods. 9

The staff is currently handling the situation in worsest way possible it seems, so I for now I'm not uploading anything new here until this mess is sorted out somehow (I'm testing some small mod of mine again, improved one mentioned in the thread "Is it possible to create a weapon that shoot "spells" ?" and it's going well). For standard subscribing users I would advise to vote with their wallet. Nexus can be the biggest, but the attitude towards both mod authors and its users is beginning to be unacceptable. 12

Though even then videogamemods looks BETTER and I hate to say it. They actually stole their style and did it WORSE! The search page is almost a carbon-copy of the mod.io page, a site I had the displeasure of looking at just yesterday when looking at BG3 modding and thought "Wow that UI is horrible, I'll happily stick with Nexus instead" only to awake to this horror today that has had useful search functionality stripped out (it's actually less functional than mod.io, as it now lacks a Trending filter). 10

Unfortunately, because (I am not original here) the new layout is terrible. Everything is too big, there's too much scrolling, it loads slower than the old one. Nevertheless, we can all complain, curse on the devs, cry, show them our disrespect, but they won't do anything about it and we'll have to get used to it. So, dear developers, since we're stuck with this tragedy, can you at least add navigation bars to switch the pages also at the top of the mod list, not only at the bottom? Maybe the bearings of our mouserolls won't wear out so quickly. I wholeheartedly say BULLSHIT to this notion. If they don't want to play ball, fine, TAKE THE BALL AND GO HOME. The only thing these people understand apparently is money, so, for anyone that pays for premium, IMMEDIATELY cancel the membership. Not just turn it off, I mean ERASE IT. Modders should post their mods to Discord or literally any other site but this one. Let the cell phone PC modders carry the day... by downloading to their phones, then to their computers, or... whatever they do. I'm honestly not sure what youtube channels there are for mod discussions, but a contact needs to be made to several of the content providers and apprise them of what's going on and Nexus' piss poor response in handling this self inflicted disaster. Get game reviewers to publically note the User Base's utter disgust and displeasure with the Nexus leadership. When the negative press hits, someone will start asking questions. It's no longer time to play nice with the Markus of Queensbury rules with these people, it's time to bring the shame and well deserved ridicule right to their front door. Drop a bomb on their facebook and X accounts, let "Black Tree Gaming Limited" Nexus' parent company get a wiff of the s#*! they're shoveling, and give them the biggest marketing black eye disaster since the New Coke and Bud Light disaster... they have obviously completely lost visibility of their user base. So let's kick them back on track. There is absolutely zero reason to take this abuse when THEY make money from US. Finally, if someone really wants to make a go of it, visit the internet archive, and grab the old website code and start another platform perhaps 'Suxen Mods', clearly they copied another abysmally awfully designed website, turn the tables and make something useful and get paid in the process. Start pulling over users one by one. Even if it's just the PC community, it's enough. Not to use a cliche' but 'Game on' never meant so much than it does today. https://www.facebook.com/nexussites https://x.com/NexusSites 10
Illius Posted March 20 Posted March 20 I do not know if others have this happen to them, but here I am mentioning it. Firstly, I actually do like the new look, however I noticed something weird on the front page of Baldurs Gate 3. I saw that the bel had a 1 on it so a mod from BG3 that I use/used had an update. But when I clicked on it, I saw no mention of which mod was updated? I had to scroll a bit down and check the updated tab to see which mod it was. After I clicked on that mod I could download it, and also only on the mod could I completely remove the notification? (I think it was on the mod page and not the BG3 Front page.)
