From Breaking Benjamin to Bethesda: Talking mods with Benjamin Burnley

2026-09-21T09:44:00+00:00

If you had “Breaking Benjamin frontman talks about Fallout 4 modding on stage” on your 2026 bingo card, well, you’d be doing better than us! Recently, a clip of Ben doing exactly that started to make the rounds online after he spoke about his experience releasing a Fallout 4 mod on the site. For us, it was a pretty surreal crossover. We’ve got fans of the band working here, and suddenly Nexus Mods was being spoken about on stage in front of thousands of people. We already kn...

SteamDB Joins Nexus Mods

2026-09-02T10:23:00+00:00

We’re incredibly excited to announce that SteamDB has joined Nexus Mods. For anyone who plays games on PC, SteamDB probably needs very little introduction. But for those of you who might not have heard of the site, here’s a little backstory. xPaw and Marlamin started the project together back in 2013. Since then, it has grown from something built out of curiosity and a desire to create a useful public service for the community into one of the most trusted resources in PC gaming....

Monthly Roundup - August 2026

2026-09-01T13:54:00+00:00

It's time for another monthly roundup, and if I can pry you away from your twenty-ninth viewing of Niu Lai, I'd love to do so - as we've got some awesome stuff to show you this time around. So let's not waste time, and jump right into it! Creator Friction Verified Collection Curator Tag & Rewards Building seamless collections takes real effort. We’ve officially launched the Verified Collection Curator Tag & Rewards p...

Introducing the Verified Collection Curator Tag and Rewards

2026-08-26T12:54:00+00:00

Let’s be real: back in the day, modding meant spending your whole weekend drowning in 50 open browser tabs, and praying the game would launch. Collections turned that whole technical headache into a glorious, single-click breeze. Anyone who’s built one knows it’s definitely not just slapping a bunch of cool mods together and calling it a day. It takes serious elbow grease, endless testing, and a tonne of love behind the scenes. You spend your time untangling mod conflicts, h...

Monthly Roundup - July 2026

2026-08-03T14:03:00+00:00

Welcome back to another monthly roundup! July has been a massive month of updates here at Nexus Mods and, much like getting back to Ithaca, shipping these big updates can feel a bit like an odyssey at times, but we’re thrilled to share with you what we've been working on. Oh! And if you missed site owner Victor's (Foledinho) reflections on a whole year of holding the proverbial reins, do go and check it out here. Otherwise, stick around, grab a drink, get comfortable, and let’s...

Celebrating 25 Years

2026-08-01T07:07:00+00:00

Back in 2001, Nexus Mods started as a simple summer project. Fast forward 25 years - ancient history in internet time - and that small file-swapping hub has turned into a quarter-century of incredible creations, an amazing community, and a modding culture like no other. Whether you've been around since the early Morrowind days or you just made an account, we wanted to mark 25 years with something memorable. So for all of August and September, we are running a 25th Anniversary Commun...

One Year In

2026-07-28T10:59:00+00:00

It's been one year since Dark0ne handed the keys to Nexus Mods over to me. I’ve been meaning to write something for a while, but to be completely honest with you all, I kept postponing it because I wanted to learn more, and there’s so much I want us to accomplish and show you all. At some point, though, you just have to do it. So, here we are. I’m Victor, also Foledinho, in case you didn’t see the handover post from Dark0ne. I’m the founder of Chosen, a small company in Co...

Sleeping Under the Stars - PeacefulEnd

2026-07-27T14:34:00+00:00

Welcome back to another Mod Author Spotlight! Grab a warm mug of tea (assuming it's not too hot where you are - if you hadn’t heard, we've been sweltering in England lately, and admitting I haven't touched tea in a month feels genuinely sacrilegious!) and settle in, because today we’re stepping away from the daily routine of farm chores and venturing deep into the timberland with the extraordinarily talented PeacefulEnd. Stardew Valley’s modding scene has long been celebrated ...

Introducing Apprentice, the Latest Simonrim Overhaul

2026-07-09T12:53:00+00:00

This November, Skyrim turns 15. And yet, all these years after its release, it remains an absolute juggernaut. Of course, the reason it's still so popular even now is down to you, the modding community, and the passion and dedication you pour into the game every day. Today I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down and talking to SimonMagus, a legend in the Skyrim modding community, about his latest and perhaps most ambitious release: Apprentice - A Class Overhaul (which you can...

Monthly Roundup - June 2026

2026-07-01T10:24:00+00:00

Welcome to the June Monthly Roundup! How are we all? First things first, a bit of housekeeping: you might have noticed a different name at the top of this post. I’ll be taking over these roundups from the wonderful Sarah (a.k.a. SlugGirl) going forward. Don't worry, she’s still here! She’s just shifting gears to work her magic on some other exciting areas of the business, which means you're officially stuck with me for the monthly updates. Speaking of updates, we ...

Baldur's Gate 3 Community Modathon 2026

2026-06-15T12:55:00+00:00

Can you believe July is almost here? That means the incredible Baldur’s Gate 3 modding community is officially gearing up for the third annual Modathon! Nearly 400 incredible creations have been submitted for the event since it first began, and this year is already shaping up to be the most exciting yet.

Stardew Valley Modfest - Winners

2026-06-04T10:19:00+00:00

Celebrating Stardew Valley’s 10th anniversary with the Modfest has been an absolute highlight for me. This was our first event specifically for the Stardew Valley community, and you all completely blew it out of the water. I spent every day scrolling through submissions, just floored by the creativity, the art, and the heart put into every single project. It’s a massive reminder of why this community is so special. Now, before we get into it, we owe a massive thank you to our ...

Monthly Roundup - May 2026

2026-06-02T13:24:00+00:00

I can't believe we're already halfway through the year. The months seem to be flying by, and we’ve finally had some nice weather here in the UK. Although, looking out the window right now, there's some grey clouds and it's threatening to rain again, which reminds me of a poem someone told me when I moved to Devon to work at Nexus Mods: Devon, Devon, Devon. Where it rains six days out of seven. Anyway, let’s crack on, shall we? Creator Friction ...

Fallout Collectionathon - Winners

2026-05-21T12:33:00+00:00

The Fallout Collectionathon has officially come to a close! I know you’ve all been eagerly waiting to see who took the top spots across our different categories, and it was certainly a close competition. Before we dive into the results, I want to take a moment to say a massive thank you to everyone who fired up Vortex and got involved. We've never run a Collection curation competition before and seeing the incredible ways you have reimagined the Wasteland, whether you were doing s...

Monthly Roundup - April 2026

2026-05-06T12:40:00+00:00

Another roundup, the months just continue to fly by. It’s a little late, I know, but we had a bank holiday here in the UK, and surprisingly, some nice weather for once too, so a bonus. We’ve got some big updates this month, so have a look at what we’ve been up to in April. Creator Friction The New Mod Upload Form: Now Out Of Open Beta We took a big step towards making modding easier this month, and we’re really excited to share t...

The New Upload Form is Here

2026-04-23T09:44:00+00:00

From day one, the upload form has been the bridge between your hard work and the players who love it. It’s one of the most important tools on the site, so we knew when we began this project, it needed to be great. Back in March, we launched the Open Beta for a totally redesigned upload flow - rebuilt from scratch to be faster, more reliable, and way less of a headache. Today, after loads of successful uploads and a ton of great feedback from all of you, we’re excite...

From Mods to Vegas: Celebrating Our Modathon Winners

2026-04-16T13:33:00+00:00

As I’m sure a lot of you will remember, at the end of last year, we ran the Fallout Modathon. The idea was to bring Fallout Mod Authors together to create and have some fun, sharing their incredible work. The response we had was, honestly, unbelievable. There were hundreds of submissions, which led to millions of downloads, and we’re still touched by it all. It went as well as we could’ve hoped for, better in fact, and whilst there’s a lot we can do to continue to improve on...

That means more of you can get hands-on with them and help shape how the...

Skyblivion Needs You!

2026-03-30T11:04:00+00:00

Calling all experienced modders and developers! Skyblivion is undoubtedly one of the most anticipated community projects in the history of Bethesda modding, and the dream of experiencing Cyrodiil fully remade in the Skyrim engine is getting extremely close to becoming a reality. However, to get this monumental project completely over the finish line, the Skyblivion team needs just a little extra firepower. They are currently on the hunt for the final, vital members of ...

The goal was to make SkyUI work seamlessly with newer versions of Skyrim Special Edition and its modding in general, witho...

Brazil Age Verification

2026-03-16T14:51:00+00:00

Hi everyone. We wanted to share an important update about how adult content will be handled for our community in Brazil. In September last year, the Brazilian government passed the Digital ECA (Digital Child and Adolescent Statute), a law that requires digital platforms that minors can access to use reliable and auditable age-verification systems for adult content. To make sure Nexus Mods stays available and compliant in Brazil before the law comes into force tomorrow (17th March 20...

2026-03-02T12:05:00+00:00

Helloooo everyone, I’m back, as promised, with another Monthly Roundup.

There’s a LOT to cover in this one! Vortex So, what’s new? Well, we’ve had this one cooking for a while. The team are really excited to bring you speed and reliability improvements across the ...

A Decade in the Valley - Modfest 2026

2026-02-19T11:56:00+00:00

Next week, we’ll be wishing Stardew Valley a very happy 10th anniversary! We can’t believe it’s been a whole decade already. But it’s true - on the 26th of February 2016, ConcernedApe first blessed us. And wow, we could never have guessed we’d be where we are today. Stardew’s modding scene is something truly special. It’s full of creativity, generosity, and people who genuinely love this game. So this year, to celebrate ten incredible years of Stardew Vall...

Fallout Modathon Winners

2026-01-26T14:12:00+00:00

I know you've all been waiting to find out, but before I share who the winners are, I want to take a moment to thank every single person who participated in the Fallout Modathon. I’ll be honest, I was nervous before we launched it. What if we’d put all this together and no one entered? I can't tell you how many times I refreshed the page until the first mod was submitted. But all that worry was for nothing, we had so many entries, 610 in fact! It’s been overwhelming, in the ...

Our Focus For 2026

2026-01-22T14:31:00+00:00

Hi everyone, Iluviel here. I want to give you a heads-up on what we’re going to be working on at Nexus Mods in 2026 and some of the changes we’ve made to make that possible. Organisation Some boring, but important, stuff first. We’ve changed how we work pretty dramatically over the last year. Some things weren’t working for us as well as they could, causing small friction points. Nothing dramatic or groundbreaking, just small problems that added up over t...

Why We’re Focusing on Vortex Going Forward

2026-01-14T13:00:00+00:00

Over the last year, we've talked a lot about our mission: making modding easier. Not just for the people who've been doing this for decades, but for everyone. The new modder installing their first texture pack. The collection curator trying to share their vision. The veteran who just wants things to work without fighting through ten different tools. We've spent that time listening. Testing ideas. Watching how people actually use what we build. And one thing became reall...

The Las Vegas Modathon Trip

2025-12-17T11:29:00+00:00

This is not a drill; there are only two weeks left of the Fallout Modathon. But don't panic, there's still time to get your submissions in and put yourself in the running to win our trip of a lifetime to Las Vegas! And on that note, you've probably seen me talk about the trip quite a lot already, but I've been pretty vague beyond saying, “this is roughly what we’re planning”. So, if you've been dying to know what the trip itself will actually look like, or you have been trying...

Introducing: The Fallout 4 Anniversary Collection

2025-11-20T14:34:00+00:00

Last week Fallout 4 turned ten! A whole decade since we stepped out into the Commonwealth for the first time and while Bethesda marked the occasion with an Anniversary Update, let’s be honest, it didn’t quite land with the impact many hoped for. So we've decided to mark the milestone our own way! Today, we’re excited to reveal the Fallout 4: Anniversary Collection; a fully curated, fully compatible, and completely free celebration of ten years of modding creativi...

Fallout 4 Anniversary Update: What You Need to Know

2025-11-06T12:11:00+00:00

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of Fallout 4, Bethesda is releasing the Fallout 4 Anniversary Edition on November 10th, bundling together all the game’s DLCs, over 150 pieces of Creation Club content, and some new and exciting features for modders and creators.

Lord of the Land - LordboundTeam

2025-10-14T12:17:00+00:00

Skyrim has no shortage of tales to tell; from dragon-slaying epics to quiet stories whispered between the peaks of the Throat of the World. But every so often, a mod comes along that feels less like an add-on and more like a true continuation of the Elder Scrolls saga. Enter Lordbound, a colossal story expansion that whisks players away to the valley of Druadach: A land divided by war, bound by history, and teeming with depth and lore. With over 60 hours of original content, three d...

Welcome to Night City is the most popular modlist for Cyberpunk 2077 on our site, and it’s not hard to see why. Behind the scenes, a massive team have been pouring tonnes of heart, soul and serious skill into it.

Tav in Technicolour - astralities

2025-06-19T08:12:00+00:00

One of the major reasons I adore modding is the endless character customisation possibilities. Sure, I appreciate a good 8K wood texture as much as the next person, but if I can make my character look even slightly funkier? You’ve got me hook, line, and sinker. And who’s out here making my Gok Wan fantasy a reality? None other than astralities, a beloved and incredibly talented modder for Baldur’s Gate 3. Astra first stepped onto the scene as Faerûn’s resident hairdresser, ...

An Update From Dark0ne

2025-06-16T11:26:00+00:00

After almost 24 years of running Nexus Mods, the time has come for me to step back from the day-to-day management of the site. This isn't a decision I've made lightly - far from it - but one I think is in both my and the community's best interests. I started this project back in 2001, in my bedroom, with a 56k modem, an excitement for the upcoming release of Morrowind and with no grand ambitions or intentions. I didn’t set out to build a business, I just wanted to make a place whe...

2025-05-19T10:47:00+00:00

Ten years ago, The Cowl of Nocturnal dropped players into the sun-bleached sands of the Alik'r Desert in search of a legendary relic - and quickly became one of the most celebrated quest mods in the Skyrim scene.

We’ve been experiencing (and enjoying) some incredibly out-of-character good weather lately for England, and in a couple of weeks, I will have been here at Nexus Mods for a year. Where does the time go? Anyway, I have some big updates for you, the main one being the logged-in homepage, which will be explained in more detail below. We wanted to give ...
