Nexus Suggestion - Mod Showcase on author's page

[Crimsomrider]

Just something I think could be an interesting feature and quite helpful for both the user and the mod author.

 

I personally at this moment have 61 mods published, however since I'm a variety mod author, I have a ton of small and big mods and a couple of them I'm extremely proud of.

 

 

 

I was thinking of a feature where a mod author could showcase 3 of his chosen mods on his profile page. Similar to how STEAM has various options to showcase on your own profile (pictures, achievements, games and so on...). So you go into someone's profile and right there there're 3 mods that the author picked and put up as a showcase. The mod would circle through just like the HOT FILES mods do.

 

I know that you can just go into someone's profile page and scroll through the most endorsed mods, but this way you'd be able to see the top 3 mods that the mod author is proud of and thinks people should check out.

 

Just a thought ^^

 

I made a raw representation on what it could kind of look like. It's nothing sleek looking, but there's certainly a nice designer's touch someone could do with this idea if they were interested in it. I'd probably go with a mini hot file system to use a showcase because not every mod gets on the hot files, but probably has the images set up for it. So this way it would not go to waste if the mod does not get onto the hot files.

 

Or I can go back to my cave and make a much nicer concept of what it could potentially look like.

That would be helpful. For me there are 2 alternatives: 1) your proposed showcase or - if thats too difficult to program for nexus (default could be "3 most endorsed" if not chosen by the author) - then 2) the FILE-section should start with a limited space for text, links, images and should be the first to see when I click upon "author". I dont like to click upon "About me" because mostly I find this "This user has not added anything about themselves." And important for me: I am interested in the complete work in other games like FO4, SSE, Oldrim ...

Due to the redesign effort, our dev team is currently in 'feature freeze' mode. This means we're solely focusing on getting the necessary systems functional with the new design. That said though, I really like the idea and will make a note for the future. Thank you for the suggestion and contributions, Crimson!

Completely understandable. I already was aware that you guys are in the process of a huge re-design so of course I understand that you want to concentrate fully on that.

 

I personally can't wait to see the new design ^^

 

Thank you and good luck to all of you :D

This is a great idea, and I'd add one other option to that - let authors set it up so that it displays 3 random mods from their submissions for that game.
