Upcoming maintenance: 10 July 2024

On 10 July 2024 (tomorrow!) we will be performing scheduled maintenance which will mean the website and API will be unavailable for up to 4 hours. This is part of our preparations for enabling the searching of mod comments. The maintenance will start at 0900 (GMT+1), you can convert this to your local timezone here. 


What is happening?

We're preparing the site for the long-awaited mod comment search feature, which we know has been sorely missed since we upgraded...

Get To Know: Iluviel

In addition to our modder spotlights and mod author interviews, we'll be starting a new series which we hope you'll all enjoy. As I mentioned in my introduction interview, we want to be more transparent and open with you all, and for you to get to know us all a little more. So we sat down and thought, what would be a great way to do this? To give a more personal insight into us as a company and the people who work here that make Nexus Mods what it is, whilst feeling more connected as a communit...

Monthly Roundup - June 2024

Another month has flown by and with it comes our next monthly roundup for you all. This month it’s a little shorter as we’re still partway through our 3-week work cycle, but we wanted to update you on what we’ve accomplished in June.


The Nexus Mods App Alpha Test
A big one this month is the launch of the Nexus Mods app alpha test. We cannot stress enough how early stages the app is, and it currently only supports Stardew Valley. While we do have plans to support mor...

Baldur's Gate 3 July Modathon

It’s been almost a year since the official release of Baldur’s Gate 3. Since then, we’ve seen an overwhelming amount of love and mods for the game, propelling Baldur’s Gate 3 to become our 9th most-modded game here on Nexus Mods. So, what better way to celebrate than with a modathon?

This July, the Baldur’s Gate 3 Modding Community will be hosting a month-long Modathon!

Every week, 2-3 mod authors will be randomly selected by the event hosts to win a Steam Key. ...

Taking a Short Rest - Aetherpoint

Baldur’s Gate 3 needs no introduction. As it was probably everyone's Game of the Year of 2023 (including ours). The game went from being the 51st-ranked game on our site while it was in early access to 9th by January 2024. The modding scene has exploded, so we thought it was about time we interviewed a BG3 mod author.

On that note, it is with great pleasure that Aetherpoint has agreed to be our first mod author interviewee, and we couldn’t be more thankful for her taking the tim...

Donation Points are changing

We're changing how we reward mod authors in our community through our Donation Points system. DP earned from April 2024 onwards will be calculated using a new algorithm intended to distribute the pool of points more fairly to mod authors who make great content for the community. While we get the details ironed out, you won't see the usual reports on your wallet page at the end of each month for a little while. Don't worry though, the system isn't going anywhere and we're still putting the same a...
