  • The Sunday Discussion - The Skyblivion Team - Recreating Oblivion in the Skyrim Engine

    It's truly a love affair when a team sets out to recreate one game, in its entirety, in another game engine. That's most certainly the case for a number of 'The Elder Scrolls Renewal' teams who are recreating Morrowind in the Skyrim engine under the name 'Skywind', and Oblivion in the Skyrim engine under the name 'Skyblivion'.

    These teams want to make sure that newer players get to experience these classic Elder Scrolls games in all their glory with ...

  • Staff Picks - 01 Feb 2017

    This week we have again taken a peek at the mods that are out there and (hopefully) come up with some real crackers for you to check out. TerrorFox1234 has found a great mod collection that is all wrapped up into one nicely bundled 'utility' mod, SirSalami has found some new ways to spend his time in New Vegas, and I have found a mod that was produced following the AMA session I had with Elianora.

    We've had an anonymous submission that I checked out and really liked, th...

  • Nexus Mods On Social Media

    Greetings everyone,

    I’m Jim, and I was recently hired by Nexus Mods to head up community development and public relations. I just wanted to take a minute to talk about the community development side of things, what that actually means, and how you can help us. Specifically, I will be focusing on our social media platforms and how they play into community development.

    What is community development?
    I suppose, before diving in, it would make sense to explain what ...

  • Witanlore: Dreamtime Giveaway

    We’ve been discussing running a social media giveaway, and what better way to start than with a game developed by some of Nexus Mods’ own community members?

    The game “Witanlore: Dreamtime”, by Druid Gameworks just entered Early Access on Steam. To help them celebrate this milestone, they’ve given us 20 copies of the game to give away!  

    Even if you aren’t familiar with Druid Gameworks, you may be familiar with some of their team members, such as Da...

  • The Sunday Discussion - TheModernStoryteller - creator of "The Forgotten City"

    It seems as though games are never taken as seriously as other media forms such as movies, television series, music or even books. To many people we simply play a game, a game created without any thought towards a story, the lore or even the characters. We, as gamers, know that not to be true. 

    However, last year something incredible happened and a mod called "The Forgotten City" won the national Writers Guild award for its script. Proving, at last, that what we create is ...

  • AMA with Elianora - Audio

    Thank you to everyone who joined in last night's AMA (Ask Me Anything) with our guest Elianora. It was a resounding success and I'm very grateful for the time that she and the community put aside to make it what it was. The questions received were great and I know Eli had a lot of fun answering them all. 

    If you fancy taking a listen to the event, then please head on over to SoundCloud where we have uploaded the audio....

    This week there is quite a diverse range of Staff Picks. SirSalami has found a good option to multi-task within Skyrim; TerrorFox1234 has been looking at add-on mods for the new HUDFramework that was mentioned in a previous weeks pick, and I have gone back to a game (or version of) that I loved many years ago.

  • The Sunday Discussion - Jokerine - Prolific modder and lover of Chickens!

    Todays Sunday Discussion is with the 'Queen of Chickens' - Jokerine. With (currently) 245 mods on the site, Jokerine really shows that modding can be both addictive and highly enjoyable. Her interview really made me smile because of her passion, her love of memes and getting into modding due to a 'dare'. Happy Sunday discussion everyone.

    Firstly I would like to thank you for the time you are giving up to speak to me; it’s most appreciated.

    You’re mos...

  • 2016: Our year in review

    TL : DR


    Full article: 

    It's come to that time of year when we prepare to see in the new year, whether it is with the chink of glass with family and friends, an early night in bed or being sat in front of the television/computer. Yep, 2017 is soon to be upon us! So with champagne and leftover Christmas morsels in hand, Michael Buble still blaring out his renditions of well-loved Christmas songs and people preparing to nurse a hangover, I can't think o...

    It's coming to the end of the year and the festive season is upon us, so this will (probably) be the last staff pick until 2017.

  • Staff Picks - 15 Dec 16

    Another week, another set of staff (and guest) picks to present you.

    Before we begin the weeks' picks, I just want to clarify that the way we do this is very simple, each staff member chooses a mod of their choice, and then I compile them all and post them up. So when I saw that both Robin and I had picked a mod from the same author I thought it might be seen as favouritism or that we were colluding. Let me assure you; we're not. I guess you can chalk it down to 'grea...

  • Advertising on Nexus Mods. The how, what and why, and what to do when it goes wrong.

    As you all likely know, Nexus Mods makes use of advertising on the website to create a source of income which is subsequently used to pay for the range of expenses the site accrues in its daily operations.


    I'm sure we'll all agree that adverts, in any format, really are a pain in the backside. Unfortunately, they're a necessary pain in the backside.


    Many people are ignorant (some willfully) of how online advertising works or like to make assump...

  • Interview with Insane Mind Games - creators of "Breaking Wheel"

    Over the past couple of months, we have introduced a 'Sunday discussion' that I'm pleased to see has gone down well with our community. We have had a steady mix of internal mod authors and external talent, all of whom have provided interesting and insightful interviews. 

    This Sunday went by without even a sniff of a discussion, but that's not to say we didn't do one. Just, it was a bit delayed. We spoke to the Insane Mind Games development team that is head up b...

  • Making of a modder (part 1)

    Recently I posted an article on the site explaining my journey from complete modding virgin to modding beginner. It was a great experience as I navigated mods, tweaked different settings and waded through the various problems to get certain mods to work, which is where the communities knowledge really came in useful.

    But now, I'm going to take it one step further; I'm going to go through the process of making a mod!

    Naturally, I'll start small and not ...
