If you’re the type of gamer, like us, who likes to use text chat and voice comms to catch up with friends and play games with them, then you’ve probably heard of Discord by now.

Discord can probably be best described as TeamSpeak or Ventrilo 2.0. It looks pretty, it works brilliantly, it’s efficient and it successfully combines voice and text chat to make a service that is both better than the early voice comms software as well as better than text chat software like Skype. Think IRC meets Ventrilo and they make a 2016 love child, and you kind of get the idea.

If you were a little nervous about installing a total conversion mod like Enderal, this video will show you how to install that mod whilst allowing you to switch back to your old modded Skyrim easily using Nexus Mod Manager and the Enderal Launcher.

Just over a month ago you may have seen our interview with Nicolas Lietzau, the project lead on the incredible Enderal total conversion mod for Skyrim. The German version was released to a fanfare of positive reviews from the likes of Gamestar.de and PCGames.de, even garnering an Editor’s Choice award showing that this really is something special. Trouble was, unless you spoke and read German you obviously wouldn’t get the full experience from it.

Well today, we are very excited to announce that we now have the English version on the site! With talent such as Dave Fennoy from titles such a ...(continue reading the full article)

It’s been a little while coming, but today I’m pleased to give you all a little glimpse into the labour of love that is the newly redesigned Nexusmods.com.

Please take a watch of the video below and let us know your feedback.



Like I mention in the video this is a very early version and certain things are not fully functional as yet, we are looking at changing certain aspects of our framework to make continued development easier, but this means that our time-frame has slipped a little.

Breaking down the video I’ll run through certain parts of the site, firstly the look. We tried many desig ...(continue reading the full article)

As you may be aware, we discovered a database breach in November 2015. The “good” news was that the data was very old, with the last registration date in the database being July 22nd 2013. This means anyone who registered on Nexus Mods after that date was not included in the database breach, and anyone before that date was included in the breach. The breach included email addresses, usernames and encrypted passwords.

As time has gone by, we’ve placed a number of warnings on the site alerting everyone of this breach, urging everyone to change their passwords.

We’ve recently received multi ...(continue reading the full article)

Update:

We believe this issue was fixed at 2am this morning (since then our mail server has sent over 6,000 emails). Please contact us if you do not think this is the case.



Original news post:

Hi folks,

This is a quick update to let you know we're aware of an issue affecting our email delivery at the moment. A quick check of our stats shows our external mail provider (Amazon SES) has delivered no emails over the past 24 hours. We send emails for registration activation, private message notifications, tracked forum topics and so on and so forth. This will likely be related to recent security updat ...(continue reading the full article)

One of the most exciting developments in the world of modding is soon to be unleashed upon the community in the form of “Enderal”, a total conversion mod for Skyrim. Expected to contain between 30 and 100 hours of gameplay depending on the whether the user runs through or checks out all the side quests, the mod itself has been in development for over 29900 hours (beginning prior to Skyrims release) and has produced an incredible total conversion.

We have been lucky enough to talk to Nicolas Lietzau, the Project Lead on the development team and find out some of the obstacles, challenges and ...(continue reading the full article)

This is a quick and easy news post asking for a little more help with the Nexus Mod Manager focus group. The team has been hard at work doing updates, bug fixing and adding new features to provide the most stable and reliable platform for modding your games. This is going to be one big release!

We touched on it before, but the big addition to this release will be the Backup and Restore functionality. Following feedback from the users involved in the existing focus group, we have added a complete local backup facility. This allows you to take a 100% complete “snapshot” of your game mods, rea ...(continue reading the full article)

In light of recent changes to the official Bethesda forums and a lack of a dedicated place for mod authors to discuss and help others with specific issues related to the Creation Kit and creating mods in general on our own forums, I've created new categories in the Skyrim and Fallout 4 sections of our forums respectively.

They're, naturally, pretty empty right now. We'll work on moving over some of the main threads from the Fallout 4 and Skyrim "Mod Talk" forums in due course.

While this news isn't exactly major, I know of several mod authors who've bemoaned not having a dedicated place to talk ...(continue reading the full article)

Today’s essay is on a subject I really don’t want to cover. I don’t know if it’s a lethargy that’s come from a changing of the seasons, or more likely, whether I feel utterly drained from the past few weeks of downright stupidity surrounding the community from all sides that makes me resent having to address the situation. However, we’ve released a small update to the mod author permissions section to address some of the issues that have arisen lately (details towards the bottom of this article), so I guess addressing the elephant in the room would now make sense.

I've posted this a ...(continue reading the full article)
