mod collections?

[heeroyuy79]

is there any plans to allow people to organise mods into collections on the website?

 

for example i play fallout 4 and i mod the crap out of it i can then put all those mods into one place on the website so if i nuke my entire computer i can just go to the collection on the website and start downloading all those mods from there without having to go through previous downloads (that includes mods for other games and mods i might not have actually used in the end)

 

like with steam workshop me and my friends have a collection that we put all the mods we are using in our online games so if someone new joins the push a button and they have mods or if someone has to re-install they just push a button to receive mods (i also use it to separate different mods for different single player games)

 

if there is a way i can organise mods on the website so i can easily re-download them if i clean house can someone tell me because i cannot see how to do it if you can

I came here to suggest something similar. It'd be great to be able to group mods into load orders on the site, connected to your user. Ideally, these load order lists (or collections, as heeroyuy79 calls them) should be able to be made public or private, maybe leaving private lists as a premium feature. With no other functionality attached, collections would be a great quality of life feature for organizing personal or group lists. But, if you wanted, you could make the lists into a whole ecosystem where users could publish whole modpacks and configuration to be downloaded and run.

 

Here are some features, ordered by desirability, that I think should be built into the Nexus:

1. Named mod lists, capable of being specifically ordered like a mod manager load order.
2. A way to save/indicate which file(s) should be downloaded from a given mod.
3. Private and public access control.
4. Bulk download of every mod in list (I understand there are server load implications here; throttling some amount would be a fair trade for not needing to navigate through every mod page to download)

the site rules explain why this won't happen

Just TRACK the mods you use, that way you end up with your own customized 'collection' of mods

You get a list of all the mods you tracked through the tracking centre, and it allows you do download the mods and it also keeps you notified of any updates to the mod etc.

I thought they were going to do something like that, I seem to remember reading about it being a planned feature on the someday list. Something like the Steam collections, which aren't really collections, just lists that auto download.

Yeah they have something being put together but it's just a list
