Introducing: CapraKurt

The Community team continues to expand like the Cult of the Absolute across Faerûn, and I now have a new friend to help me keep on top of the ever-growing inbox. Please extend the warmest of welcomes to our newest addition to the community team, Kurtis, a.k.a CapraKurt!



Tell us a little about yourself, Kurtis!

Well, I’ve been using Nexus Mods since about 2008 and so have been modding and gaming for quite a while! I’ve previously been working in mostly...

Monthly Roundup - August 2024

I know what you’re thinking, SlugGirl, didn’t we only just have a monthly roundup? Kind of, yeah. It’s been a couple of weeks though and that one was released later than normal due to how much we had going on, so humour me a little, I have a schedule to keep.

With that being said, it’s that time again. This one’s a smaller roundup, as the last was quite beefy, but here it is nonetheless!

Nexus Mods App - Cyberpunk Improvements and Multiple Loadouts

Mod or Not - Gamescom 2024 Part One

In the wake of E3’s demise, Gamescom has settled in nicely as the king of gaming events, showing off the latest releases and - more excitedly - what’s to come! 

Speaking of what’s to come, I love speculating on the future. Who knows what it’ll bring, but there’s always a spark of excitement when you guess something right (or if something comes completely out of left-field to surprise). With this new series, I’ll be looking to see how well I can predict the future by mar...

Striking a Pose - Elfjpeg

We haven’t shone much light on the media side of our site before, but with so many amazing virtual photographers sharing their screen archery each day, we thought it was about time we did. And who better to spotlight than Elfjpeg, an influential figure in the Cyberpunk 2077 virtual photography community?

Not only does she take incredible shots of her own and others' characters, but she’s also crafted some of the most downloaded pose packs for Cyberpunk and has helped elevate the...

Wind’s Howling - nikich340

Before we start this very exciting interview, let me do a quick hello: I'm Jack, a.k.a ModularCocoon and I'm a new member of the recently created Content Team here at Nexus Mods. We'll have a full introduction a bit later on but, for now, let's dive into the interview. 

The Witcher 3 remains one of the most modded and most beloved games on our site and we certainly see no sign of that stopping anytime soon. That's especially true when we have incredible mod authors such as nikich3...

Monthly Roundup - July 2024

It’s time for another monthly roundup. I know, I can’t believe how fast the months are flying by either! I’m a little delayed on posting this one this month, as there’s been a lot going on our end, but we've got some big updates from July, so let’s take a look at what we got up to.

My Reports Page
A new ‘My Reports’ page, which displays all of your moderation reports and their current status. You can find the page by navigating to your moderation settings and cl...

Donation Points System Changes Delayed

We planned to release the Donation Points reports for April, May and June this week along with adding April's DP to your wallets. However, we're sorry to say we will be unable to meet that deadline due to an unexpected issue with the new system. The bug resulted in some inaccuracies in total DP for each author and we want to take the time to ensure that this is fixed, tested and verified before we publish any new reports. We messed up with this and we're sorry! 

Our development tea...

Donation Points System update

Back in May we told you we were changing the way mod author rewards work. We're fast approaching the launch of the new algorithm so we wanted to give a little more detail on what's changing, why it's changing and what it means for you. A TL:DR is at the end of the post

As we mentioned in the previous post, the Donation Points system has been a massive success with tens of thousands of mod authors receiving a bonus reward on top of the donations they'd have normally received directly...

So Many Milestones

We’re excited to share that the Nexus Mods community has hit three major milestones, showing just how far we’ve all come together over the years.

A couple of months ago we reached an incredible 50 million registered users, something that seems a little wild to us at times but is a number that highlights our thriving modding community. Additionally, on the 22nd of July, we added our 3,000th supported game to the site. You’ve really spoilt us for choice with all the games we can...

Fallout: London releases today!

Grab your cricket bat and don your flat cap because it's time to explore a new post-nuclear city in Fallout: London. The expansive new mod takes players to Old Blighty in the post-apocalyptic world of Fallout 4. You can download the mod for free on GOG and it's compatible with both the GOG and Steam versions of Fallout 4 GOTY. 

With the Nexus Mods offices in the UK, we've kept a keen eye on the development of the Fallout: London project over the last few years. We featured it on th...

Modder to Developer - Hothtrooper44

We’re excited to reignite a series we last featured a few years ago, celebrating the journey from modder to developer. Our community has always been a hub of creativity, and we’re thrilled to highlight those who have turned their passion for modding into professional game development.

Today we’re joined by Hothtrooper44, who made popular mods such as Immersive Weapons and Immersive Armors for Skyrim and Skyrim Special Edition, as well as Wasteland Sniper and Armored General fo...

Upcoming maintenance: 10 July 2024

On 10 July 2024 (tomorrow!) we will be performing scheduled maintenance which will mean the website and API will be unavailable for up to 4 hours. This is part of our preparations for enabling the searching of mod comments. The maintenance will start at 0900 (GMT+1), you can convert this to your local timezone here. 


What is happening?

We're preparing the site for the long-awaited mod comment search feature, which we know has been sorely missed since we upgraded...

Get To Know: Iluviel

In addition to our modder spotlights and mod author interviews, we'll be starting a new series which we hope you'll all enjoy. As I mentioned in my introduction interview, we want to be more transparent and open with you all, and for you to get to know us all a little more. So we sat down and thought, what would be a great way to do this? To give a more personal insight into us as a company and the people who work here that make Nexus Mods what it is, whilst feeling more connected as a communit...

Monthly Roundup - June 2024

Another month has flown by and with it comes our next monthly roundup for you all. This month it’s a little shorter as we’re still partway through our 3-week work cycle, but we wanted to update you on what we’ve accomplished in June.


The Nexus Mods App Alpha Test
A big one this month is the launch of the Nexus Mods app alpha test. We cannot stress enough how early stages the app is, and it currently only supports Stardew Valley. While we do have plans to support mor...

Baldur's Gate 3 July Modathon

It’s been almost a year since the official release of Baldur’s Gate 3. Since then, we’ve seen an overwhelming amount of love and mods for the game, propelling Baldur’s Gate 3 to become our 9th most-modded game here on Nexus Mods. So, what better way to celebrate than with a modathon?

This July, the Baldur’s Gate 3 Modding Community will be hosting a month-long Modathon!

Every week, 2-3 mod authors will be randomly selected by the event hosts to win a Steam Key. ...

Calling Stardew Valley testers - Nexus Mods app

Get ready, gamers! We're delighted to announce the alpha release of the Nexus Mods app - our next-generation mod manager. 

This is a very early build with limited features and only supports Stardew Valley (more games are coming later), but it's the perfect time for pioneers like you to help shape its future. In this post, we'll give you a little update on the project and provide the juicy details on how you can join the alpha.

Taking a Short Rest - Aether

Baldur’s Gate 3 needs no introduction. As it was probably everyone's Game of the Year of 2023 (including ours). The game went from being the 51st-ranked game on our site while it was in early access to 9th by January 2024. The modding scene has exploded, so we thought it was about time we interviewed a BG3 mod author.

On that note, it is with great pleasure that Aether has agreed to be our first mod author interviewee, and we couldn’t be more thankful for her taking the time to...
