Stay Home. Make Mods. Win Prizes. - Week 1

  • Comment
Are you bored being stuck at home? Looking for some inspiration to finally realise that mod idea you've been thinking about? Well then: Stay Home. Make Mods. for your chance to win prizes each week between 6th April and 4th May

In light of recent world events, we wanted to do our part in helping our community cope with social distancing and self-isolation by giving you something to focus on during this challenging time. So why not make some mods? 

We've also teamed up with our friends at GOG, Warhorse Studios, and Bethesda to offer you a different selection of prizes each week. 


Week 1 Prizes (6th - 12th April 2020)

  • 1x Game of your choice (up to £50) - for an entry selected randomly from the top 20 mods of the week - ranked by unique downloads. 

This week we've partnered with GOG.com who have generously provided the following game keys for the event:


Any mod uploaded with the tag "Stay Home. Make Mods." this week will be entered into a randomised draw to win ones of these keys.


How to enter

  • Upload a new mod for any game between 6th - 12th April 2020 (Safe for work mods only). 
  • Include the competition tag "Stay Home. Make Mods.".
  • That's it! Your mod has been entered.

You can add the tag either by choosing the new "Classification" option at the bottom of the mod upload form or by adding it with the other tags.

    This Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord mod called VARTS Trade Guild is my Stay Home. Make Mods project

    https://www.nexusmods.com/mountandblade2bannerlord/mods/337

    It is a mod that answers a huge problem the community is having, which workshop to build in which town, which villages produce what and sell their goods to where etc. It is a whole new level of information that will affect everyone that is playing as a trader like myself.

    If you've never uploaded a mod before, Kinggath has made a useful video talk you through the basics.

      Hi dataframe,

      I'm afraid we're only accepting new mods from 6th April onward at the moment in order to give all entries a level playing field.

      Your KCD mod is awesome though!

      Hey pickysaurus, thanks for the answer - I'll still keep the tag at the mod because the people should read this as much as possible: Stay home (and maybe make some mods (: ) - and thanks for the compliment!

    What about mods we released earlier this year but are releasing updates for?

    I’m heavily invested in an overhaul for Fallout New Vegas and was hoping to get some publicity
