Nexus modding competition, sponsored by Nvidia and iBuyPower

A few months back some folks from Nvidia got in contact with me. They were clearly impressed with the modding community and how many awesome mods there were. Last month I joined some of them for an interview while they discussed their tweak guide in detail with famous modder, Martigen. Nvidia are now one of two sponsors in a Skyrim Nexus modding competition. The timing is perfect. The Creation Kit(tm) has just been released opening up a whole world of modding possibilities. To celebrate the i...

A friendly Creation Kit release day reminder

Hi folks. It's a great day today as Bethesda have finally released the Creation Kit for the masses to delve in to. Bethesda's servers are currently doing what I like to call "a Skyrim Nexus", in that they're down or very slow right now, but Steam and Valve's sites are fine, so if you're looking to get the Creation Kit then first ensure you have closed Steam, then restart Steam, go to "Library", "Tools" and then "Creation Kit". If you can't work it out from there, I don't think the Creation Kit i...

The Creation Kit is live!

Bethesda just released the Creation Kit on Steam! To download it, go to "View" -> "Tools", and look for "Creation Kit".

First look: Creation Kit

The Creation Kit with Steam Workshop integration is nearly here! EU4oAKZE1VI New diary from Production Director Ashley Cheng: With each game we release — Morrowind, Oblivion, Fallout 3, and now Skyrim — modders continue to use our worlds as a canvas to build the most incredibly creative and fun mods in gaming.

Nexus Mod Manager version 0.14.1 out now

It’s been a hectic day today. The astute among you will have noticed we’ve done a domain move on every Nexus site to subdomains of our new central domain, nexusmods.com. Don’t worry, we’re not making any funky visual changes to the sites! It’s just better for us this way. In between all the crazy name server and DNS changes (and all the issues they bring with them!), Kaburke has managed to get the latest version of the Nexus Mod Manager out and available for download. Version 0.14.1...

Skyrim video set in the year 2012

It features two brothers making a trip to the store of Gregethor, the descendant of the trader from Whiterun Belethor.

File of the Month Interview with Darkrder, creator of Reclaiming Sancre Tor

November's File of the Month winner is Darkrder, creator of Reclaiming Sancre Tor. Reclaiming Sancre Tor won with 82 votes. As we have in previous months, we have interviewed him, and these are his answers. What was your inspiration for creating this mod? I was mostly inspired by Oblivion itself. The lore Bethesda included around Sancre Tor made me want to see it returned to a sanctuary for the Blades. At the very least I wanted to see it used for something other than that one leg of the v...

Another of Skyrim's File of the Month winners for November was NebuLa1, with Skyrim HD - 2K Textures. Skyrim HD won with a total of 318 votes. Below you can read his responses to our interview questions. What was your inspiration for creating this mod? When I played Skyrim for the first time, I was overwhelmed of the atmosphere, but after some hours playing I noticed that the textures had a good style but they were definitely too low-res. I don’t necessarily need HD textures, but this 51...

Editorial: Video Blog on recent community events and CK information

_g0unc4ndCY I've been meaning to write an editorial or blog about the recent events in the Nexus community since Skyrim's launch and also to cover a few points regarding Bethesda's recent announcement on their plans for the Creation Kit and their Steam Workshop integration. However, I'm in the process of moving house right now and have come across the webcam I lost when I moved in 2 years previously, so I thought I'd put two-and-two together and try my hand at doing a video blog. It's comp...
