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!

A moderator has closed this comment topic for the time beingWHY would you think that just because a new game came out nobody would ever mod or play Skyrim again? 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.

Bethesda's games never die. Ten+ years from now people will still be playing Skyrim. I still play Morrowind regularly.
It was added,
ABOUT A WEEK AGO XD
But I doubt that's ever gonna happen to Fallout 4
I will be removing any requests attempting to hijack other topics.
The more experienced modders should know though!
Captain Dark0ne and his forces rocks!
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.
