Where do I download mods?

Thanks! I figured out how to use the "subscribe" button which apparently downloads them. But, I noticed that when I logged into my game all my control settings had been reset to default. Does that normally happen when downloading a mod. I also have been playing offline for months and today got some upgrades. Do you happen to know if upgrades will cause my control settings to reset to default? It is a pain in the arse to have to re-input my preferences.

The Nexus doesn't use 'subscribe' to download mods. That is the Steam Workshop method. We use one of two ways, either using the 'Download With NMM' which requires NMM (Nexus Mod Manager) to be present (not all mods support this method) - or a manual download - which does not require any mod manager, or The steam workshop to install. However, it forces you to do some of the work of installing the mod yourself. In return you get more control over where mods are downloaded and stored on your computer.

 

I use a combination, I manually download the mod into a set of subfolders for better sorting - all weapons are in one subfolder, while all armors are in another to make it easier to find. Then, I use the NMM to install the mod from my folders as that will make uninstalling, tracking load order and a few other things easier.

 

Downloading a mod does nothing to your controls. Installing the mod might - if that is what the mod is supposed to do. Downloading doesn't not put the mod into your game - Again you are confusing the steam workshop subscription with the normal Download, then install method used by everyone else.

 

The last Bethesda patch did mess with customized controls though. It was quickly fixed.
