Monthly Roundup - March 2025

We have a much beefier roundup for you this month. I’m sure you’ve all seen there’s been a lot going on, so what better place to update you on a lot of it than my humble roundup? 

As I said, there’s a lot to get into, so I won’t waste your time with a long intro!


Upcoming Homepage Update
We will be launching a new homepage with a refreshed design built on the new framework. Mods are now more prominent on the page, moving them above News.

An Update on the Mod Browsing Overhaul

In the Wild - GreenComfyTea

Whether you’re a regular hunter or you can’t tell your Rathalos from your Nargacuga; Monster Hunter Wilds recently released and is set to quickly become one of the most modded games here at Nexus Mods. That’s why today, I have the pleasure of chatting with GreenComfyTea, a well-known name in the Monster Hunter community who has seen some recent press coverage of their mods!



Hey GreenComfyTea! Why don't we start with an introduction? Tell me a bit about yourself! ...

Expanding The Valley - FlashShifter

If you’re a Stardew Valley fan, there’s a good chance you know of this modder and may have even used his Stardew Valley Expanded (SVE) mod to help bring new life into the game (literally). Off the back of the SDV 1.6 update last year, which he helped ConcernedApe develop, I caught up with FlashShifter again to see what else he’s working on at the moment and learn more about his updates to SVE.



Hey FlashShifter, thank you for doing this interview with us! Would yo...

Monthly Roundup - February 2025

It’s another Monthly Roundup. I know February is a shorter month, but it really has flown by. We’ve even had a bit of sunshine lately, so we’ve all been buzzing at the prospect of Spring and (hopefully) fewer rainy days ahead. 

Anyway, a little shorter this month whilst we’re busy working away on some big things, but here it is!


Mod Browsing Open Beta 
A big thank you from us to everyone who has engaged with the open beta and sent their feedback. ...

Festive Competition Winners' Interview

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Screen archery is a huge part of our community here at Nexus Mods. It's something we want to continue celebrating and showcasing as much as possible, alongside all the incredible mods people create. As I mentioned in the winners' announcement post, we're taking a short break from competitions for a little while whilst we focus some of our time on in-house videography projects and all the exciting new content we've got planned.

That doe...

C3: Community Creations Con

C3: Community Creations Con is back this Friday 21 to Saturday 22 of February! As many of you will know, this virtual convention is a celebration of the incredible talent within our modding community, showcasing a diverse range of creations across Fallout, Elder Scrolls, and Starfield.

C3 is an annual community-driven event, planned and organised this year by Elianora and Kate Aces. It’s something we here at Nexus Mods are incredibly proud to support and help promote.

Valentine's Competition - Winners

So, gang, what are we doing for Valentine’s Day? Do you have anything special planned? Whilst we’re all sharing, why don’t we take a look at our competition winners?

It was another tough competition for us. We had a bunch of fantastic submissions as usual, and deciding our winners doesn’t seem to be getting any easier! Just a quick update for you all - this will be our last competition for a little while, but we’ll be picking them back up again in the near future. As I men...

Modders-Turned-Devs, We Want Your Stories!

It’s no secret that modding communities are the unsung heroes of the gaming community. Every time we turn around, there's another incredible story of modders shaping the future of gaming. Take The Stanley Parable, which started life as a Half-Life 2 mod, or Enderal sweeping up the Best Fan Creation award at the 2016 Game Awards. So, this got us thinking… what other stories are out there? How many go from modding texture packs to designing environments for AAA games? Maybe your quest mod ...

Monthly Roundup - January 2025

It’s our first Monthly Roundup of the year, it doesn’t get more exciting than this! We didn’t have a roundup last month, as a lot of work during December was odd jobs, internal bits and pieces, instead of project work as a lot of us had time off during the holiday period.

Since we all came back into the office, we’ve hit the ground running and here are some of the things we’ve been working away on in January.


New Bonus Rewards System
We have creat...

Valentine's Screen Archery Competition

Another holiday means another screen archery competition! Don’t worry, we plan to expand our competitions over time. But while we’re still getting the hang of these and ensuring we’ve got them nailed, we’d love to hear from you about other competitions or events you’d be interested in.

We’re changing it up a little this time though, there will be no categories, the theme is simply Valentine’s Day. We do ask that you keep your entries SFW, with no graphic nudity or depi...

Introducing: ModularCocoon

You’ve probably seen his mod author interviews or ‘Mod or Not’ series. You may even have spotted him presenting our ‘How to use Vortex’ series on YouTube or in some of our other videos across our social platforms.

Today we’re officially introducing you to Jack, one of our new Content Creators alongside Modsetti, or as he’s known on the site, ModularCocoon!



Hey Jack! Thanks for doing this intro interview so the community can get to know you be...

Halloween Competition Winners' Interview

Screen archery is a huge part of our community here at Nexus Mods, so we’re always looking for ways to shine a spotlight on it, especially as we have so many amazing images being shared in our media section every day.

As I’m sure you’ll all remember, we hosted our first Screen Archery Competition back in October for Halloween. Among the first-place prizes was an interview with the winners of each category, giving them the opportunity to discuss their creative process and share...

Ordering 32oz of Kobe Beef - Wesp5

Hi all! Before we jump into today's interview, we just wanted to give a quick update regarding the Monthly Roundup for January. To keep it short, there will be no Monthly Roundup this month as our team was out of office for a large chunk of December for the holidays: It'll resume as normal next month though.

With that aside, It’s 2025: You want to play Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines, a game notorious for releasing with many technical problems and a whole host of cut content. W...

Introducing: Shaska

As 2024 comes to a close, we wanted to end the year on a personal note with a new starter interview. Tristan, who you might recognise from a brief Monthly Roundup introduction as Shaska, joined us as our Videographer in August. I might be biased as his manager, but he’s been absolutely smashing it!

If you haven’t already checked out our videos on YouTube, now’s the perfect time. Tristan works incredibly hard on them and we appreciate every view, like, comment and subscribe we...

Feelin' the Nerves - DarkFortuneTeller

Dark Future was Mod of the Month in November for the Cyberpunk 2077 community and has seen no signs of slowing down. I’ve been lucky enough to sit down with the creator of this mod, DarkFortuneTeller, to chat about their history with modding, their process working on this project and any future plans they’ve got in store!



How are you doing today DarkFortuneTeller? Why don’t you give us a quick intro to yourself and what you’re playing and modding at the moment?...

Mod or Not - The Game Awards 2024

Welcome back to Mod or Not! The article series where I predict the popularity of a modding scene in games revealed at major gaming events as either mod - meaning that I believe there’ll be a significant scene for it - or not - meaning there won’t be. 

Last week The Game Awards 2024 was chock-a-block with game reveals and video showcases, but for this article, I’ll be keeping to actual new announcements and reveals (rather than all those little reminder adverts that tell you a...

Festive Competition - Winners

A big thank you to everyone who entered this competition. Admittedly, we received fewer submissions than for our Halloween competition, so we’d love to hear your feedback. Do the categories help or hinder? Or has the busy run-up to the holidays kept you from participating?

Despite this, we still received so many fantastic submissions, and once again it was incredibly tough to pick our winners. As I mentioned last time, we understand that everyone will have their own favourites, bu...
