6 million Skyrim mod downloads in first week since CK launch (from SW and Nexus)

  • Comment
Bethesda announced on their blog today that Steam Workshop has clocked over 2 million mod downloads since it was launched, along with the Creation Kit, a week ago. Combined with the download figures from Skyrim Nexus, which are currently standing at 4.4 million downloads in the past week, that means that over 6 million mods have been downloaded for Skyrim since the Creation Kit was launched (and obviously not including download counts from other community sites!). A very impressive achievement for the Elder Scrolls modding community.

In other news, I'm aware I promised another video blog recently and I was all ready to get one cranked out with my ugly mug on it at the start of this week, but, alas, I've been in bed since the weekend with a fever and head cold, so I'm hoping to get one out by the end of this week or the start of the next. It'll take on the form of a kind of State of the Union address, and I'll try to talk about recent events, what we've been up to and where we'd like to be further on down the line while sharing some of the cool stuff we've got in the pipeline. Stay tuned on that one. I don't really want to post a video of me looking green on YouTube!

    Not a single shred of pride and satisfaction in that post above and why should you, the numbers speak for themselvers

    Banging that shield "NEXUS! NEXUS!"

    Yeah!

    also... i doubt SW counts individual downloads and from my experience the individual download count is usually somin around 1/3 of the total download count hence we barely have 2mil downloads actually instead of 6

    ...i could be wrong tho and they did indeed count individually

    can we all have a shield and a sword please, stand next to each other and hit the shield with our sword screaming "NEXUS! NEXUS!" while opposing to us a lil toddler plays with a garden hose and its valve wetting his pants (with the valve)?

    O my word, that is impressive.
    I tried steam work shop once, it is very nice but at end of the day nexusmods is million times better. It's faster, easier to search mods, more modes and lastly IT'S NOT STEAM. If you are like me and cursed with a slow internet connection you will also hate steam as mush I do.
    Any way my point is that this is one of the best sites on the net. Thanks dude you are a CHAMP.

    I wonder if Steam/Bethesda will pay the Nexus owners to shut down this site eventually?

    Well if you did do a vid while green then you could not be Dark0ne you would be Green0ne. But I joke. Get better soon as the nexus would fail to be if not for you. Gods know the Steam Workshop sucks.
