World of Tanks Nexus Launched

You might have noticed I've been a bit busy recently releasing some new Nexus sites in to the fold. These aren't really part of any plans of massive expansion, but have merely coincided with one another out of coincidence! I'm thinking that this will be the last one for a little while at least as we focus on rolling out the new site code and features, but don't hold me to that! But anyway, on with the announcement... Following on the heels of the newly released Mount & Blade Nexus and Neverwi...

Neverwinter Nights complete (both games and all expansions) available for £5, today only!

While I don't normally like to do cross-site advertising across all the Nexus sites unless it affects all of the sites, this offer is just too good to pass up, and links up nicely with our recent launch of Neverwinter Nexus. Today only, and in fact as of the time of writing for only 9 hours more, the complete Neverwinter Nights series of games is available on Gamer's Gate for £5 (that's about $7.50 USD). This package includes both Neverwinter Nights games and all of their official expansions...

Neverwinter Nexus launched

A few weeks back a couple of individuals from the Neverwinter Nights modding community contacted me about the possibility of starting a Nexus sites for the veteran series of games. While I was sceptical about the prospect at first because the games have always been dutifully serviced by the Neverwinter Vault site, unfortunately it's also common knowledge that IGN are starting to wind down their fan site services and some are already falling in to disrepair, and the worry is that losing the Vaul...

Nexus donation system for users

Up until today we have had a policy of not allowing users to request or receive donations from other users on the Nexus sites. This has included things such as mod authors asking for Pay Pal donations in their file descriptions. This policy stemmed from a long running rule on Bethesda's official forums, dating all the way back to the launch of Morrowind where asking for donations, or even talking about the prospect of donations is not allowed. The reason is very simple; it's a legal grey area. I...

Interview with Tytanis

Tytanis is one of the more prominent members of the modding community here at the Nexus family of sites. He has recently won our File of the Month contest and has one of the most endorsed files on Skyrim Nexus. "Tytanis - The Ultimate Mod" has been around since the very beginning of Skyrim modding, and continues to be one of the most popular mods. So without further ado, I give you an interview with Tytanis himself. 01. So, tell us bit about yourself. What are some of your other interests a...

Nexus site beta ready - help us help you

Over the past 10 months we have been working behind the scenes on a completely new Nexus site code. Because my code was not up to professional standards the premise was really simple, I've hired on 2 great programmers, and in order for us to make the most of the quality of these coders we needed to rebuild the site code so we had a strong base to push off from. We haven't added any new functionality or major changes, in fact, by the time we're happy with the code we want the site to look and beh...

Skyrim beta update 1.5

Today, BethBlog posted some information about update 1.5, which will include new features, like new killcams, specifically killcams for ranged combat and spellcasting! They also say that they are planning to add new features in upcoming updates... Skyrim is starting to look like the never-ending Elder Scrolls game at the rate they are spewing out updates and features! Update: It seems that BethBlog have removed this article from the blog for some reason, most likely because the beta does not ...

Farmville meets Skyrim in upcoming Tytanis update

Ever wondered what it would be like to own a farm? Ever played Farmville and thought to yourself "this would be so much better if it didn't insult my intelligence with cartoony graphics"? Me neither. But that's not the point! Tytanis, of Tytanis - The Ultimate Mod fame is currently working on updating his mod to include a wide spectrum of farming activities and the concept is too cool to not promote here on Skyrim Nexus. For a sneak peak of Tytanis's upcoming update, check out his teaser video. ...

NMM 0.15.7 hotfix released

Nexus Mod Manager version 0.15.7 has just gone live on the release server and should be available when you start NMM (if you can start NMM) or from the download page for NMM. This is a hotfix patch to resolve the issues that 0.15.0 presented. A big thanks to kaburke and wrinklyninja who have worked on a Saturday to get this out for us. In regards to version 0.15.x of NMM it's important to note that while NMM is now using BOSS API to manage load orders NMM does not currently use BOSS's auto...

Skyrim Mod Sanctuary - Part 18 : Open War

G8G-JVJFRw8 Here is the part 18 of the Skyrim Mod Sanctuary video series. This weeks video covers a couple of great mods and briefly discusses the Nexus Mod Manager 0.15.0 problems and how to fix them....

NMM v0.15.0 issues

Last night we released the Nexus Mod Manager version 0.15.0 for general download to fix the issues that Bethesda and Valve presented all the mod managers out there with the changes to the way load orders are handled. Sadly Bethesda didn't give us nearly enough time to ensure we could solve the issues they've presented us (and I'm sure they'd argue they don't have to), so I know that wrinklyninja (of BOSS) has worked at least 100+ hours in the last week alone on getting the BOSS API to a usable s...

Mount & Blade Nexus Launched

It is with great pleasure that I announce that we are now supporting the Mount & Blade series of games at Mount & Blade Nexus. The Mount & Blade series of games are unlike any game you'll have played and I'm a huge fan, in spite of the fact I've never quite been able to finish a campaign of either of the three games; Mount & Blade, Warband and With Fire & Sword despite pumping in over 50 hours of play time to each. If you've never heard of the Mount & Blade series, picture Civilization or Tot...

Nexus server upgrades and increased download speed cap

Over the past month Axel and I have been secretly working away on a side project to upgrade and improve our file server infrastructure, primarily to make us future proof and increase the storage capacity of all our file servers, but also to ensure we have more than enough bandwidth to go around. If you're particularly astute, you may have noticed that some servers have gone missing from the server selection window for days or even weeks at a time, and new servers have cropped up (for instance...

Mount & Blade Nexus Launched

Almost 10 months ago I made contact with Janus, a prominent member within the Mount & Blade community and owner of the modding site MBRepository, where almost all the Mount & Blade modifications are uploaded, to see if I could offer my assistance and enquire whether a merger might be possible. Following discussions with Janus, and consultation on the TaleWorld forums, today marks the first ever attempt at merging a pre-existing site in to the Nexus format. Welcome to Mount & Blade Nexus. If y...

I have revised my original Fallout New Vegas tutorial so that it is up to date with the latest mods and tools.

Skyrim Load Order changes

With the recent beta release of Skyrim version 1.4.26 on Steam, Bethesda and Valve have decided to change the way in which Skyrim handles the load ordering of mod files. Originally load orders were decided by the timestamps of files on your file system, but the Steam Workshop integration for Skyrim has caused numerous issues (most notably the issue where updating your load order using NMM/Wrye Bash/other managers would cause those files to be re-downloaded by the Workshop), and so Bethesda and V...

Map of Skyrim app released

Prima, the makers of the official game guide for Skyrim, have released a new app on the iOS Appstore that features an interactive map of the ingame world. While it can be downloaded for free, the free version only contains the nine major cities and all other locations must be purchased in-app for $9.99. The app features a search function, custom points of interest, and screenshots of most locations. http://static.skyrim.nexusmods.com/imageshare/images/2383757-1330282067.png The app, entitled ...
