Modders-Turned-Devs, We Want Your Stories!

It’s no secret that modding communities are the unsung heroes of the gaming community. Every time we turn around, there's another incredible story of modders shaping the future of gaming. Take The Stanley Parable, which started life as a Half-Life 2 mod, or Enderal sweeping up the Best Fan Creation award at the 2016 Game Awards. So, this got us thinking… what other stories are out there? How many go from modding texture packs to designing environments for AAA games? Maybe your quest mod ...

Monthly Roundup - January 2025

It’s our first Monthly Roundup of the year, it doesn’t get more exciting than this! We didn’t have a roundup last month, as a lot of work during December was odd jobs, internal bits and pieces, instead of project work as a lot of us had time off during the holiday period.

Since we all came back into the office, we’ve hit the ground running and here are some of the things we’ve been working away on in January.


New Bonus Rewards System

Valentine's Screen Archery Competition

Another holiday means another screen archery competition! Don’t worry, we plan to expand our competitions over time. But while we’re still getting the hang of these and ensuring we’ve got them nailed, we’d love to hear from you about other competitions or events you’d be interested in.

We’re changing it up a little this time though, there will be no categories, the theme is simply Valentine’s Day. We do ask that you keep your entries SFW, with no graphic nudity or depi...

Introducing: ModularCocoon

You’ve probably seen his mod author interviews or ‘Mod or Not’ series. You may even have spotted him presenting our ‘How to use Vortex’ series on YouTube or in some of our other videos across our social platforms.

Today we’re officially introducing you to Jack, one of our new Content Creators alongside Modsetti, or as he’s known on the site, ModularCocoon!



Hey Jack! Thanks for doing this intro interview so the community can get to know you be...

Halloween Competition Winners' Interview

Screen archery is a huge part of our community here at Nexus Mods, so we’re always looking for ways to shine a spotlight on it, especially as we have so many amazing images being shared in our media section every day.

As I’m sure you’ll all remember, we hosted our first Screen Archery Competition back in October for Halloween. Among the first-place prizes was an interview with the winners of each category, giving them the opportunity to discuss their creative process and share...

Ordering 32oz of Kobe Beef - Wesp5

Hi all! Before we jump into today's interview, we just wanted to give a quick update regarding the Monthly Roundup for January. To keep it short, there will be no Monthly Roundup this month as our team was out of office for a large chunk of December for the holidays: It'll resume as normal next month though.

With that aside, It’s 2025: You want to play Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines, a game notorious for releasing with many technical problems and a whole host of cut content. W...

Introducing: Shaska

As 2024 comes to a close, we wanted to end the year on a personal note with a new starter interview. Tristan, who you might recognise from a brief Monthly Roundup introduction as Shaska, joined us as our Videographer in August. I might be biased as his manager, but he’s been absolutely smashing it!

If you haven’t already checked out our videos on YouTube, now’s the perfect time. Tristan works incredibly hard on them and we appreciate every view, like, comment and subscribe we...

Feelin' the Nerves - DarkFortuneTeller

Dark Future was Mod of the Month in November for the Cyberpunk 2077 community and has seen no signs of slowing down. I’ve been lucky enough to sit down with the creator of this mod, DarkFortuneTeller, to chat about their history with modding, their process working on this project and any future plans they’ve got in store!



How are you doing today DarkFortuneTeller? Why don’t you give us a quick intro to yourself and what you’re playing and modding at the moment?...

Mod or Not - The Game Awards 2024

Welcome back to Mod or Not! The article series where I predict the popularity of a modding scene in games revealed at major gaming events as either mod - meaning that I believe there’ll be a significant scene for it - or not - meaning there won’t be. 

Last week The Game Awards 2024 was chock-a-block with game reveals and video showcases, but for this article, I’ll be keeping to actual new announcements and reveals (rather than all those little reminder adverts that tell you a...

Festive Competition - Winners

A big thank you to everyone who entered this competition. Admittedly, we received fewer submissions than for our Halloween competition, so we’d love to hear your feedback. Do the categories help or hinder? Or has the busy run-up to the holidays kept you from participating?

Despite this, we still received so many fantastic submissions, and once again it was incredibly tough to pick our winners. As I mentioned last time, we understand that everyone will have their own favourites, bu...

Monthly Roundup - November 2024

As I mentioned in the Festive Screen Archery Competition post, this Roundup is a little delayed. What can I say? We’ve all been trying to use up our holiday days before the end of the year. 

Normally, I’d like to leave more time between posts, but with the Christmas holidays fast approaching, I’ve got a lot to fit into a short amount of time. I hope you all don’t mind.

Anyway, let’s crack on with our last monthly roundup of the year (how wild is that?).

Modding the Multiverse - Sumradagnoth8

If you're a passionate D&D 5E player, get ready for something special with today’s modder spotlight! Meet Sumradagnoth8, the mastermind behind some of the most exciting subclass mods for Baldur's Gate 3.

From the precision of the Arcane Archer to the fierce prowess of the Samurai, among many others, Baldur’s Gate 3 players who are looking for expanded playstyles need not look any further. 



Thank you so much for agreeing to an interview! Would you ...

Festive Screen Archery Competition

The holidays are coming, the holidays are coming! I hope you all read that like the song from the Coke advert. Anyway, the festive season is almost here, so I have another screen archery competition for you, yay! 

I know what you might be thinking: "SlugGirl, where is the Monthly Roundup?" It's on the way, I promise. The holiday season is well underway in the office at the moment, so it's going to take a few more days to get ready for you all. I wanted to post about this competitio...

Telling a Tale - Jared Alexander

Ever found yourself watching Skyrim TikToks at 2am with no end in sight? If you can relate, you might have stumbled upon some videos made by today’s modder and video game industry hero: Jared Alexander! 

When he’s not working his day job on the socials of Sea of Thieves over at Rare, he’s busy with his music or his popular TikTok Series 'Skyrim Guard Tales' featuring Jesper the Guard. He’s now brought the eponymous character to life in-game for anyone to recruit as a follow...

Helping a Settlement - Glitchfinder

If you’ve modded Fallout 4, there’s a very high likelihood you’ve stumbled upon today’s interviewee. We’re really excited to be chatting with them as they’ve worked on a whole host of changes to everyone’s favourite post-apocalyptic title ranging from the odd bugfix here-and-there to fully fledged expansions. So, without further ado, let’s meet Glitchfinder.



It's great to have you here with us, Glitchfinder! To kick things off, tell us a bit about your...

I'll have a full introduction a bit later on, but for now, we'll crack on with today's interview.

Ever wondered what the beloved folk of Pelican Town would sound like if they could speak? Well, S...

Merry Modding Days - 2024

I know, I know, that time of year is still over a month away. Halloween was only a couple of weeks ago, and anyone else in the UK has probably only just heard the last of the fireworks after burning effigies last week. Still, we wanted to give you all as much of a heads-up as we could about this latest modding event from the Merry Modding Days team.




Those of you in the Fallout 4 community will be excited to learn that Merry Modding Days is making a return! For a...

Chasing a bounty - Shtivi

Calling all cowpokes! If you’ve ever added bounty hunting, duels, or simply the ability to sit down on even more chairs in your Red Dead Redemption 2 game, you’ve probably come across today’s interviewee: Shtivi. So, hitch your horse, hang your hat and join us for a campside chat!



Welcome Shtivi! It’s great to have you here with us, why don’t you tell us a bit about yourself and how you got into gaming, and modding after that?
