Bethesda Podcast - about modding, Steam Workshop and the Nexus

A new podcast was released today, where Valve's Dave Sawyer and Bethesda's Joel Burgess talk about modding, Steam Workshop and the Nexus. 30 minutes of talking about the history of modding, the future of modding, how the Nexus have affected Elder Scrolls modding and even how Steam Workshop will affect the Nexus and vice versa, as well as new features coming to Steam Workshop. Listen to the Podcast here. At about 24 minutes in, they talk about addressing Creation Kit issues, including th...

Tank tags added

Our file database at World of Tanks Nexus is quickly filling up with both World of Tanks mods and World of Tanks skins. While mods are generally easy to categorise and find, due to the sheer number of tanks available in World of Tanks it can potentially be harder to find skins for specific tanks. So if you come to the Nexus looking for skins for the Soviet KV tank you might find it hard to find KV skins in between all the other skins available. To that end I've painstakingly added each of the...

An Elder Scrolls MMO and you

It's being widely reported across the internet that Zenimax will be announcing their work on an Elder Scrolls MMO next month. First of all if you weren't expecting an MMO announcement, where have you been the past four years? Most had expected a Fallout MMO, but some of us had our heads to the ground and heard the whispers about an Elder Scrolls MMO yonks ago! Now I know your initial reaction to the news will more than likely be "awww pish!", but I just wanted to make one thing clear. T...

Skyrim beta update 1.5

10 days ago I posted about the 1.5 beta update for Skyrim, which was posted, then deleted on BethBlog. Well, now it is really here! (SKSE is also updated for 1.5 now) Watch the new kill cameras! 6A7ZJq9GclI RELEASE NOTES NEW FEATURES New cinematic kill cameras for projectile weapons and spells New kill moves and animations for melee weapons Shadows on grass available (PC) Smithing skill increases now factor in the created item’s value Improved visual transition when going un...

World of Tanks Nexus Launched

You might have noticed I've been a bit busy recently releasing some new Nexus sites in to the fold. These aren't really part of any plans of massive expansion, but have merely coincided with one another out of coincidence! I'm thinking that this will be the last one for a little while at least as we focus on rolling out the new site code and features, but don't hold me to that! But anyway, on with the announcement... Following on the heels of the newly released Mount & Blade Nexus and Neverwi...

Neverwinter Nights complete (both games and all expansions) available for £5, today only!

While I don't normally like to do cross-site advertising across all the Nexus sites unless it affects all of the sites, this offer is just too good to pass up, and links up nicely with our recent launch of Neverwinter Nexus. Today only, and in fact as of the time of writing for only 9 hours more, the complete Neverwinter Nights series of games is available on Gamer's Gate for £5 (that's about $7.50 USD). This package includes both Neverwinter Nights games and all of their official expansions...

Neverwinter Nexus launched

A few weeks back a couple of individuals from the Neverwinter Nights modding community contacted me about the possibility of starting a Nexus sites for the veteran series of games. While I was sceptical about the prospect at first because the games have always been dutifully serviced by the Neverwinter Vault site, unfortunately it's also common knowledge that IGN are starting to wind down their fan site services and some are already falling in to disrepair, and the worry is that losing the Vaul...

Nexus donation system for users

Up until today we have had a policy of not allowing users to request or receive donations from other users on the Nexus sites. This has included things such as mod authors asking for Pay Pal donations in their file descriptions. This policy stemmed from a long running rule on Bethesda's official forums, dating all the way back to the launch of Morrowind where asking for donations, or even talking about the prospect of donations is not allowed. The reason is very simple; it's a legal grey area. I...

Interview with Tytanis

Tytanis is one of the more prominent members of the modding community here at the Nexus family of sites. He has recently won our File of the Month contest and has one of the most endorsed files on Skyrim Nexus. "Tytanis - The Ultimate Mod" has been around since the very beginning of Skyrim modding, and continues to be one of the most popular mods. So without further ado, I give you an interview with Tytanis himself. 01. So, tell us bit about yourself. What are some of your other interests a...

Nexus site beta ready - help us help you

Over the past 10 months we have been working behind the scenes on a completely new Nexus site code. Because my code was not up to professional standards the premise was really simple, I've hired on 2 great programmers, and in order for us to make the most of the quality of these coders we needed to rebuild the site code so we had a strong base to push off from. We haven't added any new functionality or major changes, in fact, by the time we're happy with the code we want the site to look and beh...

Skyrim beta update 1.5

Today, BethBlog posted some information about update 1.5, which will include new features, like new killcams, specifically killcams for ranged combat and spellcasting! They also say that they are planning to add new features in upcoming updates... Skyrim is starting to look like the never-ending Elder Scrolls game at the rate they are spewing out updates and features! Update: It seems that BethBlog have removed this article from the blog for some reason, most likely because the beta does not ...

Farmville meets Skyrim in upcoming Tytanis update

Ever wondered what it would be like to own a farm? Ever played Farmville and thought to yourself "this would be so much better if it didn't insult my intelligence with cartoony graphics"? Me neither. But that's not the point! Tytanis, of Tytanis - The Ultimate Mod fame is currently working on updating his mod to include a wide spectrum of farming activities and the concept is too cool to not promote here on Skyrim Nexus. For a sneak peak of Tytanis's upcoming update, check out his teaser video. ...

NMM 0.15.7 hotfix released

Nexus Mod Manager version 0.15.7 has just gone live on the release server and should be available when you start NMM (if you can start NMM) or from the download page for NMM. This is a hotfix patch to resolve the issues that 0.15.0 presented. A big thanks to kaburke and wrinklyninja who have worked on a Saturday to get this out for us. In regards to version 0.15.x of NMM it's important to note that while NMM is now using BOSS API to manage load orders NMM does not currently use BOSS's auto...

NMM v0.15.0 issues

Last night we released the Nexus Mod Manager version 0.15.0 for general download to fix the issues that Bethesda and Valve presented all the mod managers out there with the changes to the way load orders are handled. Sadly Bethesda didn't give us nearly enough time to ensure we could solve the issues they've presented us (and I'm sure they'd argue they don't have to), so I know that wrinklyninja (of BOSS) has worked at least 100+ hours in the last week alone on getting the BOSS API to a usable s...
