I'm a frequent mod user and not a mod author, but as much as I think collections could be a great feature (it's not available yet), it's not hard to see why some mod authors are so upset. The files won't be directly accessible or downloadable for users, or even displayed on the site, though the archived files will still be accessible through the collections feature. Instead, a modder who wants their files removed will only be able to archive them. The solution Nexus Mods came up with is to no longer allow uploaded mod files to be deleted.
But Nexus Mods says in order for collections to work smoothly, it needs to prevent modders from permanently removing their files: That sounds like a handy feature, especially since mod lists for games like Skyrim can run into the hundreds, and it would be nice to be able to easily share those lists among other users. Another Vortex user could then add this collection and Vortex would download and install everything on that list. Using Vortex (the Nexus Mods mod manager), a mod user could create a curated list of mods and then upload that list as a collection, including mod load order, patches and hotfixes used, conflict resolutions, and so on.
"The project our team is working on has the goal of making modding easier so the average user can spend less time worrying about mod conflicts, and more time playing a modded game," reads a lengthy post on Nexus Mods. Nexus Mods has been working on a feature since 2019 called "collections." Collections will serve as curated lists of mods that any Nexus Mod user can create and share. There is a reason for it, though, even if not anyone agrees that it's a good one. Once It's done downloading, head over to the "Mods" tab, if you've haven't already gone through the process of setting up your categories, Nexus Mod Manager will ask you if you'd like an automatic setup, or if you'd like to do it yourself.If that sounds like a strange policy decision to you, you're not alone, and some modders are angry about it.If Nexus Mod Manager isn't open already, It'll load and begin the download process.Once It's done, go back to the nexus mods page I linked earlier, the "Files" tab, and click Download With Manager (This is why we ran the program as administrator) It'll ask to make your plugins file non-read only, if it does then click "Yes".It'll start scanning for your games, click the green checkmark next to the correct paths, and the red x next to the incorrect paths, and correct them if you need to, OR:.
Make a Nexus Mods account if you don't have one already, the registration page is right here:.
