Modding is...
It's one of the things that defines PC gaming – keeping our favorite games alive (and better!), bringing us together as a community, a way to explore our passions, sometimes an open door into the industry of our dreams.

So it only stands to reason that Nexus Mods – the biggest, most active modding network out there right now – has a very special place in our hearts… The Nexus Mods site has just undergone a huge redesign and we took the occasion to say thanks to the PC gaming community together!
Check out the letter to the community below, and drop by /r/PCMasterRace to enter the massive Game & Gear giveaway where you can win from among $3,000 worth of GOG.com games, as well as hardware and gear from MSI and CORSAIR!

One more thing, from all of us to you: stay great, stay passionate, and keep modding on! <3

A message from Nexus Mods

In celebration of our new site design, we have teamed up with GOG.com, MSI, Corsair, and PCMasterRace to share our love for PC gaming worldwide through a massive giveaway! Before we get into the juicy details though, I wanted to take a quick trip down memory lane and look at some of the previous designs we've used at Nexus Mods before reaching this point.

See the news for more

Throughout all the various names and aesthetics of this site, our community has always been a driving force in our success. It is your passion and dedication that keeps us going and allows us to continue growing. Which brings me to the point of this little stroll down memory lane!

As I mentioned at the start, we have joined forces with some great companies in the gaming world to bring you a chance to win some incredible loot. We feel we've picked companies that shared a similar mindset to our own.

The folks over at GOG.com were immediately on board with the cooperation. Modding wouldn't be possible without the freedom to do what you want with the games you own, and it's a great way to get involved and explore your passion for gaming. These are ideas both GOG and Nexus Mods very firmly believe in.

Similarly, CORSAIR and MSI were both excited to work with us and have made offerings that are more than generous. CORSAIR is offering a full peripheral set to bring glory to your gaming setup, and MSI wants to help bring your system into the modern age with a few serious hardware upgrades.

Finally, we have decided to host the event on the PCMasterRace subreddit to reach an even bigger audience of PC gaming enthusiasts. Modding is a hobby with its roots dating back to some of the earliest PC games. While the use of mods has recently opened up to other platforms, on no other platform can you dig into a game's engine and bend it to your will like you can on the PC, and the PCMasterRace subreddit is chock full of posts that elevate our favorite platform.

This is more than just a celebration of our new design. It is a celebration of modding and PC gaming as well!

Thank you for all your support over the years. We look forward to providing a place to share and discuss mods for many more years to come. Head on over and enter the contest for your shot at some glorious prizes!

Stevedog13: What? A free promotional offer that is not custom tailored to my exact needs and internet habits? Outrageous!! Why should I have to make any concessions, no matter how small, just for a chance to get something for free? I mean, paying some of my hard earned money for a game is one thing, but having to create an account on some other website for an optional promotion? That goes way too far!!!!
Did you ever know that you're my hero? ^_^

Yeah, not cool..

Much preferred the old nexus .

Probably geared towards the dumbed down smart-phone generation.

joppo: Because if they didn't we would have other users with the same... penchant you have for being heard when they feel they're being slighted, with just a different complaint. Imagine one or more threads filled with posts like these:

nightcraw1er.488: Ah, I see, pointing out some information which isn't forthcoming in the official post mentioned above is being slighted. I see.
If you wanna call it that. Or not, if you don't; I don't care either way.
It doesn't change the core of my argument: lots of people would just have an even stronger reason to show they didn't like GOG's latest marketing move.

If you really wanted to keep favorites alive, you wouldn't take them off the store and bundle them with overpriced "enhanced" editions.
I don't know why you people are creating such a fuss over something that takes literally less than a minute to do, and requires only your email address and (any) name.

drmike: Nexus Mods requires a login to download anything.
When did that happen? I've never needed to login to get any of the mods I've downloaded, but my last download was a month or so ago.

Ages ago.

Only for files over a certain size though, so you've perhaps just had DL's that were below that threshold.

Ah, that's it, then. They HAVE been small mods, mostly convenience stuff.

nightcraw1er.488: Not interested in what it is anyway, as far as I can tell this Reddit thing is nothing to do with the competition,

joppo: I don't use Reddit, but from what I saw it doesn't look like a bad community. It is a good way of spreading the word about GOG to possible new members, which is good for us in the long run.
Yeah, just like galaxy is. o.O

No, it's more a case of what's being offered isn't worth having to jump through hoops for the benefit of PI traders like a Pavlovian poodle, salivating at the thought of getting something for "free".

Oof!

Thankfully the mod scene seems to have something for everyone. Big, small, minor playability tweaks, or complete makeovers in a different universe. And thank goodness for NexusMods and ModDB these days, and places like FilePlanet years ago.

greeklover: List of prizes

114 winner(s) will be selected to win one (1) of the following prizes:

1 of 30 Game Keys for Divinity: Original Sin 2, redeemable at GOG.com
1 of 35 Game Keys for Stardew Valley, redeemable at GOG.com
1 of 15 Game Keys for Divinity: Original Sin, redeemable at GOG.com
1 of 15 Game Keys for Starbound, redeemable at GOG.com
1 of 15 Game Keys for Neverwinter Nights, redeemable at GOG.com
GOG is fantastic as always for holding a huge massive giveaway like that. However, I wish they'd pick anything other than "Neverwinter Nights" for prizes. There are way too many copies floating around. Even the giveaway threads are having trouble unloading them.
