Nexus modding competition nearing closing date

  • Comment
The Nexus 2.5 millionth member competition is coming up on its closing date. Set to mark the 2.5 millionth member to register on the Nexus sites, modders have the chance to win some cash prizes ($350, $100 and $50 respectively) for Oblivion, New Vegas and Dragon Age. All you have to do is create a mod that reflects the modding community:

The theme of this modding competition will be "The community we are in". I'm hoping to see some great mods that cover users in the community that might have influenced you during your time here, the various sites of the community that you are a part of (it doesn't just have to be the Nexus!) and what you like about the community.

The type of mod you make, be it a quest, a new landmass, a house or castle, NPCs, weapons, armour, etc. is totally up to you but I will look more favourably upon entries that have a quest in them because I'm a sucker for a good quest! That doesn't mean a mod with a quest in is going to win, however, and if you come up with something really unique then I'll probably love it! A Nexus defence mod, for example, where you defend fort Nexus from a horde of trolls with your fellow moderators wielding ban hammers by your side is something I've dreamt about...


We've just moved past the 2,465,000 mark, but it's not too late to start on your entry. There should be approximately another month until the competition finishes.

Remember, I'm not looking for quantity, I'm looking for quality, and the winner of the 1 millionth member competition won it with an entry that took roughly 20 minutes to complete. If some of you give me 10 hour epics to play I am going to cry!

I'll be posting up information on where to post your entries soon.

    I have been using this site since Sept 2003 about 20 - 80 times a month and always have enjoyed the experience. I really appreaciate the ease of use getting mods and knowing what to expect before downloading them.
    I enjoy reading the forums and reading all the comments .
    Overall keep comeing back to this site over the years and lately since 2005 have only gone to this one.

    Yes, and the ogres must be named for Banned Members. <img class=">

    Another question. It says in one of the judgement criteria " integrate community members well into the premise of the mod" does that mean that my mod has to include community members in my mod? For example, I make a mod that has at least 30 bruma knights fighting about 20 ogres. Does that mean that I would have to name each one of my knights after a community member?

    If another modder 'influenced' your mod, and you did not use any of their meshes, textures etc, then it is considered polite to thank them for their inspiration. <img class=">

    I have been influenced by lesser known users. So does my mod need to mention them? And if you don't, then how would the you know if they influenced me?

    so little money for so much time...lol

    $350 US dollars, is a lot of money. It's the equivelant of £5 GBP sterling ... nearly enough to buy half a gallon of petrol !

    And here I was, thinking that the number on the sites was the real number.
    Well well, one month should be okay I guess.

    I think it should be okay Ub3r - It's getting along quite nicely now.
