Weeks after changing owners Nexus Mods updates rules on "illegal" and "adult" content, but even the original owner says calm down, it's purely about following the law or being "fined out of existence" (www.gamesradar.com)

Until it’s not. I don’t see anyone handling it as well as the original owners.

Yeah. I have a feeling we're going to loose a lot of modding history through slow rule changes and people that made mods years ago not fighting to keep their mods up.

it slow but people that likes to do archive should have their own mirror of things.

Nexus is basically dead to me.

There is no point in playing Skyrim when I can’t have ridiculously big tits.

Naive if you think this is only going to stop at pointlessly banning NSFW mods. This is only the beginning of the enshitification.

I don't even use NSFW mods, I'm just not gonna stick around as some soulless corporate entity slowly destroys the site.

Loverslab exists, they probably have what you're looking for

[-] taco@piefed.social 4 points 5 months ago

They definitely had what I was looking for...

This but unironically

For mods the better approach would probably be that each game community host their own mod portal. No single point of failure.

Ever try finding the websites of old mods? Each project having it's own site just means it will be quietly lost when you aren't looking. You need a system when each project hosts a mirror other projects. Storage is cheap and the bandwidth demand for old mods will be minimum by then.

I hope Lovers Lab doesn't suffer the same bullshit of "oh noes, nudity and sex are illegal!"
