Comment on The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Mods Have Already Been Published Online
Kolanaki@pawb.social 16 hours agoA while back Nexus did something that pissed off a lot of creators and they moved to other mod repositories, even deleting their shit off Nexus. In my experience, the good sexy stuff is more commonly found on other sites.

God damn was that the dumbest drama in the history of internet drama. The Nexus was trying to do something VERY good for end users, and mildly inconvenient for some mod authors with control issues. Thankfully, very little of value was lost.
(Yes, I’m still a bit salty about being forced to the VASTLY inferior Thunderstore for 1% of my modding needs.)

What was it?

The Nexus added “collections” - essentially mod lists directly from them - and to prevent said lists from breaking all the time, as different mods are updated at different rates, they made it so older versions of a mod couldn’t be just removed by the mod author so that a collection that uses that version could still get it.

Lol that’s it? That’s hardly inconvenient at all, just gotta make sure you don’t publish broken shit I guess
