Why is there no support for modpacks on nexus?

Hello, I don't know if this question has been asked before... but why is there no support for modpacks? Why can't someone make a modpack, and instead of it being a single resource it will link to all the other mods. Then nexus mod manager could link to the modpack that would in turn download all the mods. This would make installing mods not take 2 hours.

@killachuko1214; This question has been asked many times. Basically, modpacks aren't allowed here because there a too many problems associated with them. Let's start with the fact that whoever is uploading such a collection would have to obtain permission from EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. of the authors whose materials s/he wanted to include. Then let's add the fact that one or more mods in such a collection might be incompatible with one or more mods in a player's existing set of mods. Now let a few months pass and either one or more of the mods in the collection gets an update to correct an issue, (but the "modpack" of course won't get that update) or the game itself gets a patch that breaks one or more of the mods in the collection (and again, the "modpack" isn't updated.) Years of experience with all of the above problems (and more) led Dark0ne to "just say no". :wink:
