Butcher Giveaway!

Greetings everyone,

I come bearing gifts! Some of you may remember the Witanlore: Dreamtime Giveaway we ran back at the end of January. Well I’m back at it again with keys for the game Butcher, by Transhuman Design!



THD is a great group of developers and have been kind enough to grant us 10 keys to hand out. As the developers themselves describe the game:

BUTCHER is a fast-paced 2D shooter and a blood-soaked love letter to the cult classics of t...

UX/UI Designer needed for NMM v2.0

Last month, we put a news post onto the site giving everyone an update as to the current state of Nexus Mod Manager version 2 and at the bottom of this news post we advertised a contract position for a UX/UI Designer. Despite receiving a number of applications, we have yet to find the individual who we believe can help us to create an intuitive, yet powerful piece of software. We are looking first and foremost at recruiting a member of our community who has the skills and abilities listed below ...

The Sunday Discussion - CDante

This week I am pleased to bring you a modder that I have been following over the past few months, CDante, the author of the incredible 'Push Away Companions', a mod that our own Dark0ne liked so much he added as his Staff Pick. This week we find out what got him started in modding, what he is working on at the moment and what we can expect in the future.



Hi CDante, and welcome to the Sunday discussion. Firstly would you mind letting us know a little bit about y...

6th March Maintenance

On Monday the 6th of March 2017 Nexus Mods will be down from 08:00 GMT so that we can perform some essential database maintenance. We expect this maintenance to take around 4 hours, but due to the nature of the work there is scope for this to be shorter or longer.

The website and the forum will be down during this time.

We’re performing this at the quietest time that we possibly can so that it has as minimal impact as possible.

Thanks for your understandi...

Staff Picks - 01 Mar 2017

A slightly smaller Staff Picks this week as we go without a guest submission. We have had plenty sent in, but they have only contained a very brief description (usually a sentence or two) about why the the user actually enjoy the mod and what it does. I will post these up in the next few weeks, though probably in a large group. If you are submitting a mod for this feature, please try and include some details as to what makes it special to you and what the mod actually does - a bit like we have b...

The Sunday Discussion - Terrorfox1234 - our head of community development

We're back again for a slightly different Sunday discussion today, so far we have covered a number of different areas within the modding world, today we bring it home and introduce you to one of our own, here in the Nexus Mods office.

We decided that you *may* want to know a little bit about those of us who work 'behind the scenes' here. So today I bring you Jim, aka Terrorfox1234, our external community guy. 

Dark0ne introduced Terrorfox1234 to the communi...

Staff Picks - 22 Feb 17

This week in the Staff Picks, SirSalami and Terrorfox1234 gain a psychic link and both choose a camera configuration mod that allows easier switching and modification of camera angle, I choose a mod that will allow me to spend far too much of my time looking at my Pip-Boy and our guest submission by gonzalo99 sees him warping around Cyrodiil.

We love to hear your selections, so if you have a mod you would like to submit to the community (not your own), please check out this new an...

The Sunday Discussion - GamerPoets - YouTuber and creator of awesome tutorials

There are a lot of people out there who would love to become a YouTube personality, the thought of creating videos on a subject you love for a living is incredibly appealing. But with the satisfaction of releasing a well-received video comes the incredible amount of work, time, dedication and money that goes into it.

This week we chat to GamerPoets, a YouTuber who began producing videos as an outlet for an event that rocked his world.

Hey Gamer...

Staff Picks - 15 Feb 2017

With Valentine's day only yesterday, we have all decided to give you something that we love.

SirSalami loves a good hug every now and again, I have a love of Cola (which I really need to try and break off at some point), Terrorfox1234 has found a mod to appease his love of music production and JimmyRJump / HeavyEavy just love the additional playtime that Fusion City Rising has given them. Okay, they are tenuous links at best, but you're not here to read this part of the sta...

The Sunday Discussion - SmartBlueCat - Author of 'Inigo'

Wednesdays 'Staff Picks' featured two exceptional follower/companion mods that were nominated by our users. One of these was Inigo, a Khajit follower with a great sense of humour and of course, Mr D. I got to chat with SmartBlueCat recently and found out some of the inspiration behind Inigo, where he draws his humour from and what we have to look forward to in v3. Enjoy.

Hey SmartBlueCat, thank you very much for chatting to me today. To begin with can you tell the community ...

NMM2 - Update and recruitment

Back in October Dark0ne announced the recruitment of Tannin and the subsequent development of a new Nexus Mod Manager. Since then, we've been working extremely hard and while things might seem a bit quiet on our end, I assure you, we're moving at a great pace! I apologise for the lack of updates but, in between the site redesign and the new mod manager things have just been rather busy here at Nexus Mods HQ.

Today I would like to give an update on the status of the proje...

Staff Picks - 8th February 2017

This week, we have all gone back to playing two of the classic Bethesda games, Fallout 4 and Skyrim. SirSalami wants to be able to choose for himself what spells (if any) that he starts his playthrough of Skyrim with, TerrorFox1234 is doing a little bit of spring cleaning around his settlement and has challenged everyone to a 'Power Armor Display Off *', and I have been busy trying to make Diamond City that little bit more attractive and inviting.

We have two guest picks thi...

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 ...

Staff Picks - 25 Jan 2017

We have some fun ones for you this week, taking into account the comments that we received last week we've dug deep and struck some real gems. SirSalami has come across some toy soldiers, TerrorFox1234 is trying his best to blend in, and I've been smashing in doors and having a real blast.

We love to hear your selections, so if you have a mod you would like to submit to the community (not your own), please check out this new and handy form. 

Just remember that...

The Sunday Discussion - Gambit77 - Author of the Armorsmith and Weaponsmith Extended mods

Hi everyone, welcome to another 'Sunday Discussion'. Over the last few months, I have had the pleasure to talk to a number of people from all over the modding community and the reception has been great.

Today I bring you Gambit77, author of the hugely popular 'Weaponsmith Extended' and 'Armorsmith Extended'. He talks to us about his favourite 'things', his friends down the street, his history of gaming and what he has lined up in the future. Gambit77...

Staff Picks - 18 Jan 2017

We're back again with some more staff picks, this week SirSalami dives headfirst into the world of Stardew Valley with a mod to make this awesome little adventure game 'hard'; TerrorFox1234 tries his hand at the mod S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Chernobyl after my recommendation last week; and I get one of my favourite gameplay mechanics into one of my favourite games!

Our guest contributor this week is ZZZ02, their selection is a total overhaul mod for Oblivion, so be sur...
