Fallout 4 Nexus Site Launched

  • Comment


In anticipation of next week’s launch, we’ve opened the doors to the Fallout 4 Nexus Site today!  Starting now, you can begin posting to the new Nexus Fallout 4 forum.

Fallout 4 Image Sharing and Mod Pages are also functional in preparation for next week. We don’t expect the file sharing features to be used until then, so please refrain from posting content prematurely. Also please remember, if you decide to post spoilers in the forum, make sure that you are labeling them appropriately. This includes “leaked” content.

Even though Bethesda announced that Fallout 4 mods will only be supported officially sometime next year, it’s possible that certain aspects of the engine will be open to modification at launch. For instance, texture replacers for Skyrim were possible day-one. We’re hoping that this will be the case for Fallout 4 as well but haven’t been able to confirm this with Bethesda as of yet. We’ll just have to wait and see.

Hardware Updates

Like any good wasteland survivalists, we’ve been doing a lot of preparation for the big day. Enhancements to our server hardware have been implemented, including doubling our available memory and increasing our SSD storage capacity almost ten-fold (7.5x) on our database clusters.

Though we expect that these enhancements will help to see us through the Fallout 4 launch, it’s impossible to know what the demands on our services will be until then. However, these changes have indeed shown improvements regarding content distribution given our current load, during internal stress tests.

In Other News

Robin, Paul and Phill have been working diligently with the focus-group, compositing and gathering feedback regarding our site redesign while I’ve been focused on analyzing and restructuring our terms and policies. Both of these projects are quite large in scope and because they directly affect your experience with us, we are all ensuring that we are doing our due diligence making sure that everything is done with proper care.

---

So, enjoy the new Fallout 4 Nexus Site. We're hoping that this makes the wait to get back to the wasteland just a bit more bearable… :)

Have a good weekend!

    Is this the end of Skyrim?


    WHY would you think that just because a new game came out nobody would ever mod or play Skyrim again?  ohgeez-1.gif  I saw the same comment when Witcher came out earlier this year. Look at the Oblivion mods. Oblivion just withered away and died because of Fallout 3? Nope, the Oblivion mod community is still very active after over 9 years. Some of the top rated Oblivion mods were actually released AFTER FO3 came out. The FO3, FONV and And the Skyrim communities will be around for a long time to come. We still see mods for Morrowind. Some people will not like FO4, and will stick with Skyrim. Others will not buy FO4 until the price drops to something reasonable. And still others are waiting for the SDK so they can get better mods.

      @ordog2 lol, nice!

      Bethesda's games never die. Ten+ years from now people will still be playing Skyrim. I still play Morrowind regularly.

      And others will use previous experience with Bethesda games as a reason to not buy FO4 until the modding community has fixed all their bugs for them because they're too useless to do it themselves. Because the one thing Bethesda does better then creating games is releasing half finished buggy messes.

    It would be fun to have a Deathclaw as a companion, just like in NV
    But I doubt that's ever gonna happen to Fallout 4

    PLEASE!!! put mod requests in the Mod request forum, That is what it is for. Cluttering up other peoples topic with random requests is called topic hijacking and can get you banned.
    I will be removing any requests attempting to hijack other topics.

      Many of hese posts don't belong here bben46 - start the clean-up in my opinion.
      The more experienced modders should know though!

    Another thing I am experiencing; no speed slowdown for us outside of FO4 (no offence of course):-)
    Captain Dark0ne and his forces rocks!

    Unfortantly for me my pc stopped working and I had to get it on xbox one, what I hope for is that peaple will submit mods on the site where xbox mods are starting. As fallout 4 is the first game to have mods on consoles I hope I dont have to cough up 2000$+(new pc) for a pc exlusive hardcore mode mod. While I completly understand peaple not wanting to add there mods on steam or the fallout 4 site after the paid modding shitstorm I also think sharing your mods with the console players a good first step into changeing some peaples minds about modding as a lot of console peaple think modding is cheating because they themselfs have never tryed creating or playing with mods.
    I hope that the nexus will hopefully also support the new console mods as this is the best site in my 3 year experiance with pc modding.

    I would appreciate a lockpick cheat, as lockpicking with 899 fps is a pain in the ass! Still not as pain as having 35-50 fps in towns when i can get around 100 without VSYNC...
