Mostly catered to Premium users in terms of usability. I would not used it myself and I do not appreciate the approach they are taking.

BS blue haired DEI employees take offense to wanted ‘male’ and ‘female’ archetypes. If you don’t want this behavior in gaming anymore, boycott this weird company.

First it was racism against whites, now silencing other political voices, left-extremist moderation team.

First it was banning mods that change characters to historically accurate white skin color, but being fine with black swaps.
Now it's banning certain political mods like a character swap to Trump, but being fine with character swaps to bush, obama, biden or an lgbtq race-swapped wheelchair-bound character.

It's very obvious they've chosen a political side and are not a neutral platform for their users.

Do not support these antics, do not donate or subscribe.

Nexus Mods

Nexus Mods, a company ran by a bunch of nutjobs who think they have the moral high ground, they inhabit explicity 18+ mods, gore-ish mods, but a mod that removes pronouns, and a mod that replaces pride flags with American flags IN a videogame, those mods are where they draw the line! The double standards is crazy! 😂
And just now, they banned a marvel rivals mod that replaces captain America's head with Donald Trump's,
If you're someone who likes to make their own mods, and you're uploading this mod on their website, they won't care if it's a mod of a naked woman, a mod with explicit gore, or it it's a mod like (Fallout 4's killable children mod), but if your mod has anything to do with trump or pride flags, then consider it banned.

Oh wow this sucks

Oh wow this sucks. I bought the premium plan to mod Skryim as it promised "Install hundreds of mods with the click of a button." Well, little did I know that after that click an additional 10000 clicks were necessary, just to realize that I'm never gonna get this to work. That "dependency tab" or whatever? That thing needs stand trial for pain and suffering compensation. The amount of time that I wasted is just wow. And you'd think you'd get some help in rearranging this abstract piece of art but nope. Just download LOOT they said. So I need to download yet another software to fix another software I paid for? And that turns out to not even fix it because I now need a degree in computer science to even get the game to work?? If I could I would give 0 stars but, oh well. At least now I know. Just let this be a warning. And don't pay for this crap!!

The best modding site ever

The best modding site there is. I've been using the site for years and haven't had a game where they didn't have a lot of mods. The community is really great if you have any questions. I was a normal free user for years but have been a premium user for a good 3 months and am proud to support the site and the mods with my contribution.

greedy

3mb/s download cap unless you cough up £71 a month, shamelessly money hungry. with or without the download speed cap their servers still suck. 20 mins to download a 2gb file on 600mbps wifi connected to ethernet is braindead, meanwhile steam took me 15 minutes to download rdr2. terrible "modloader" with more errors than playing gmod while missing cs source, i would say dont use this site but unfortunately youre stuck using this garbage or not modding your games at all, as this is the only site with a decent amount of actual good quality mods. what a shame how video games have turned out. watch out, next up theyre gonna start making you pay for certain mods i bet.

Selective racism

Selective racism, mods that turns originally white characters that where depised as black back to white are banned inmediatly, while mods that change from white to black are allowed.
Stop censure.

What a hassle

What a hassle. If you can't secure your website without a 15 character password and 20 different requirements just to patch a mod for a game, then you shouldn't lock people out of their accounts after 3 attempts. Your tokens also shouldn't expire right after they hit someones email box. Waste of time.

This website just took my gmail and let me log right in. So convenient!

Woke Moderators

Sadly I used this site to download mods for almost 6 years, now that i know this guys are racists just can't keep supporting their web, you can make a mod to turn a white character to black but not in reverse, also, you can't make a "LGBT" character to straight but you can turn a straight character to make It LGBT (Judy Álvarez from CP2077), this site just turned in a woke circus and I don't wanna be part of It, see ya fkers.

Racist behavior by the platform

I just deleted my account, they are racists.
They delete mods that contain white characters and feature mods that contain black people or turn whites into black.
It's rooted in racism against whites.
I recommend to delete your account there so they can't continue to sell your data legally.
