I like it for the most part.The only thing I don't really like (at all) is that there is going to be an option to download mods without ever visting the mod page/description. People already have trouble reading description pages, so giving them even less incentive to read them is not a good idea I'd say.stickbow wrote: I agree with Supertin - unless you are seeing a lot of abandon rates when people visit description pages that you think are not related to "I can't use/don't want to use that mod", I'd send people to the description page.You also lose an opportunity for revenue from AdClick (or whoever you use) on the interstitial page before downloading.ousnius wrote: I'm surprised so many other people don't like that idea as well. As far as I'm concerned, I've already told Paul about it when he first asked us for feedback, but it didn't sound like it was something they would be willing to change.I remember something about it being possible to disable it for your mod, but I'm not sure anymore.HadToRegister wrote: Endorsements for mods will drop exponentially as well.And honestly, this looks too much like the Bethesda.net modding siteEnaiSiaion wrote: Well, the mod scene is going in the direction of catering to the lowest common denominator. Perhaps the Nexus wants to appeal to the kind of people who don't care enough to read a mod description.I think they'd be better off letting those people go to Bethnet and keeping things here a *little* more highbrow.

concepts2a Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Simply put....IMPRESSIVE !!!! So, when does this go LIVE? Though I do agree with Nebulous12's comment: "Only issue I have is with the ability to direct download without visiting the page. PLEASE remove this. Nexus should be encouraging responsible modding by forcing users to view the description page and download from the files tab. There is a lot of very useful information that I think users need to see on the description pages." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILectriq Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Not a fan of the metro style The design isn't bad, but just not my kind of thing New features are pretty good tho :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lagennagen Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 It looks amazing! I am loving the changes so far. I do wonder if maybe we could have a place to submit mod list's though? Being able to peruse ideas for setups and how to achieve them would improve the nexus for older and newer users. It might also help modders get an idea of how their mods are being used, which is sometimes really useful information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the idea is to make it more convenient for end-users, but in addition to causing massive headaches for mod makers it may also cause issues for users when a mod doesn't work properly and they cant figure out why because they never read the documentation. While that already happens a fair bit now, I think it will happen a *lot* more if users can avoid the mod page entirely.

dAb Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 (edited) All I need is a proper description editor that doesn't bring my browser to its knees, thanks :P edit: and a proper notification system so I don't have to track my own mods to know if someone replied to posts Edited August 9, 2016 by dAb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
