The purpose of this document is to provide one source that is clear, concise and complete regarding the installation, maintenance and operation of the Nexus Mod Manager (NMM). 6.2.7.1 Mods tab, mod organizing/sorting, Mod Version column:.6.2.6.7 Assigning mods to another Nexus site default or self created category folder:.6.2.6.4 Reset mods to Nexus site defaults:.4.5.5 Download options for non-premium members (none):.4.5.4 Download options for premium members.People want recognition and control of their creations, but the end user also wants a reliable source from which to download files. It's a discussion about both the integrity of mod creation - which often takes vast amounts of time and effort for little-to-no payment - and the health of channels in which mods are presented to the community.

In the other camp, those who view Nexus as a major hub for modding (which, it is) see a difficult precedent that draws attention to other, usually shadier 3rd-party hosting sites. In one camp, you have the reclamation of authorial ownership and creative autonomy these authors may move their mod to another website. Simply search in r/SkyrimMods for discussion on this, as there is a history.Ī byproduct of all of this is a fragmentation of the modding community and its content. One of the more popular controversies among this regard mod author Arthmoor, the creator of crucial and highly relied-upon mods in the Bethesda modding community. As a result, mods have been removed from the site either because the author deemed it the best decision, or out of solidarity against this policy. This has led to some frustration among mod authors as an infringement on author rights and ownership of content. To this end, a mod author would no longer be able to fully delete their mod(s) from Nexus after a 1-month grace period in which they were given notice and freedom to remove their mods at their discretion. ANSWER: A few months ago, the popular mod hosting site, Nexus, announced a new policy that would effectively archive an author's mod, rather than delete it entirely from their site.
