First donation point report delivered, and recent updates to the system
First report available
Towards the end of May, we announced and launched our Donation Point system for mod authors to receive donations directly from Nexus Mods.
While we don't send Donation Points until 3 months after the end of the month (e.g. Donation Points generated in May won't be received by users until the beginning of September) we will provide a report at the start of each month to all opted-in users, for the previous month, that shows and explains the DP you s...- 54 Comments

Patreon page for our Donation Points system
In May we announced our Donation Points system for mod authors on Nexus Mods. The premise of the system is (relatively) simple, each month Nexus Mods has committed to donating $6,000 - $10,000 from our own funds towards a donation pool for mod authors to benefit from. If you'd like to read more about the Donation Points system please read our launch news post and our FAQs section.
Today we have launched a Patreon donation page to crowdfund a supplement to our donation pool so that ou...- 38 Comments

Donation Points system now live for mod authors on Nexus Mods
Back in December I announced our intention to create and release a system that provided some modest rewards to mod authors on Nexus Mods.
It's taken us a bit longer to implement than we initially anticipated, but I am happy to announce that from today, any mod authors on Nexus Mods will be able to opt their files into our Donation Points system.
The premise of the Donation Points (DP) system is relatively simple on the surface. Each month Nexus Mods will donate a set amou...- 214 Comments

Invalid email addresses and you
We've made a small change to the site today to inform any users whose emails are "bouncing" that they need to update their email records.
A bounced email is basically an email we've sent you and then received back saying that the email is undeliverable.
Bounced emails are bad for us as they are expensive to deal with on our email delivery platform and ultimately, if you are using the wrong email address or an email address that does not work/exist any more then you will n...- 65 Comments

Security update for Nexus Mod Manager
Today we are releasing some security updates for the Nexus Mod Manager to bring us in line with the new EU GDPR rules coming into force next month.
NMM has been "end-of-line" since 2016, which means we no longer provide any official support for the software, but we thought it was prudent to spend the time and money to release this update so our users could continue to use the software's online services while ensuring we're compliant with the new regulations. We also did not want peop...- 395 Comments

Vortex Alpha Release
Hello everyone,
For over a year now we've been working on a mod manager to replace the ailing Nexus Mod Manager. The premise was simple, attempt to combine the simplicity of the Nexus Mod Manager with the advanced functionality of Mod Organizer and create something that is accessible to all types of modders. Back in May of 2017 we named this replacement "Vortex".
A couple of weeks ago we did a limited Alpha release of Vortex to 1,000 users, many of whom have been extremel...- 379 Comments

February Giveaway #1
I'm going to be completely straight with you, we're currently working on increasing our social media presence for Nexus Mods and have budgeted a small amount each month towards increasing our social media readership. We could certainly put that money straight into purchasing Facebook and Twitter ads, but I much prefer the idea of using that money instead to fund giveaways that benefit our users and that everyone can enter (even if you don't care about or hate social media).
To that e...- 55 Comments

We're Hiring: Vortex developer

Last year we set up our first office for Nexus Mods and began the process of relocating as many of the current staff as possible into the new environment.

Year in review and looking forward
A belated Merry Christmas and a happy new year to everybody!
We've been quiet in our news section recently as we've been busily working away on the site redesign and Vortex development, but the new year brings the perfect chance to update you on what happened last year and what we're working on in 2018.
2017 in numbers
We welcomed 1,612,142 new users to Nexus Mods in 2017, or to put it another way, a new member joined Nexus Mods every 20 seconds. We now ...- 91 Comments

Mod Author Donation System
While a few of the developers continue to work on the new site design, fixing up bugs, improving page load time performance and responding to useful critiques and suggested improvements to the UI and UX from users, I wanted to take some time out to announce a new feature that a few of our other developers are currently working on that we plan to launch in the first quarter of 2018. A new year's resolution of sorts, if you will.
The new functionality I want to talk about today is...- 419 Comments

In celebration of our new site design, we have teamed up with GOG.com, CORSAIR, MSI, and PCMasterRace to share our love for PC gaming worldwide through a massive giveaway! Before we get into the juicy details though, I wanted to take a quick trip down memory lane and look at some of the previous designs we've used at Nexus Mods before reaching this point.
Since its initial founding in 2001, Nexus Mods has been through many incarnations. It all started with Morrowind Chronicles, a fan...- 82 Comments

Redesign Launch - Stage 2 in progress
We're currently implementing stage 2 of our redesign soft launch process and as such, you might experience a few oddities and/or get thrown about a bit between the old and new designs as we gradually implement the changes and stress test things.
Stage 2 is moving the nexusmods.com domain over to the new design so by default, users will be on the new design. During this time we're still allowing users to access the old website design via https://old.nexusmods.com.

An update on Vortex development
It's time for a Vortex development update!
Since our last news post back in May we have setup a focus group of around 30 individuals who have been given access to an early build alpha of Vortex using a rudimentary design and UX flow. Tannin has been working with these users, taking on their feedback and patching up bugs that have been found over the past couple of months. At this stage, the core functionality is all done and now it's a matter of rounding off any rough ed...- 441 Comments

New Nexus Mods design launched
Hello everyone,
The time is almost upon us as we near the official release of our redesign. We're now ready to share the redesign with all of you in the hopes that you can help us in identifying the remaining issues before we officially go live and change the site over.
We're doing a very soft launch of this redesign. In September we provided the mod authors with access to the new site to receive their feedback and bug hunting help and a few weeks ago we provide...- 1223 Comments
