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 ...

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...

Mod or Not - Gamescom 2024

In the wake of E3’s demise, Gamescom has settled in nicely as the king of gaming events, showing off the latest releases and - more excitedly - what’s to come! 

Speaking of what’s to come, I love speculating on the future. Who knows what it’ll bring, but there’s always a spark of excitement when you guess something right (or if something comes completely out of left-field to surprise). With this new series, I’ll be looking to see how well I can predict the future by mar...

Mod Spotlight: Frosty Tool Suite

Frosty Tool Suite
The Frostbite Engine is one of the most powerful game engines around, and the backbone of many of the most popular games. Unless you only play indie games, you've likely played a game running on the Frostbite Engine. Up until recently, however, modding Frostbite Engine games was a daunting task (and by daunting I mean near-impossible).

When GalaxyMan2015 (known as Ehamloptiran here on Nexus Mods) couldn't find the tools to dig into the Frostbite Engin...

Staff Picks - 07 June 2017

This week we have enlisted the help of one of our moderators, Jokerine, to fill in for BlindJudge while he is away. She takes a look at cleaning up with command console in Fallout: New Vegas, while SirSalami decides to play The Witcher 3 with some help from Geralt's friends. Our guest submission adds a unique and lore-friendly set of armor to Morrowind and I'll be trying to beat the summer heat in Stardew Valley! 

We love to hear the communities picks so keep them comin...

Staff Picks - 24th May 2017

This week in our Staff Picks - Terrorfox1234 shows he has a heart and looks to rehome an elderly gentleman, SirSalami goes all Hitman and sneaks around Skyrim dressed in the clothes of his enemies, Svariato decides that they are going to begin sinking oils back like they are shots to grant various powers to their characters and weapons, and I go all John Woo and decide that I'm going to run through the Fallout 4 wasteland taking pot shots at the limbs of all those who offend or attack me!...

Staff Picks - 17th May 2017

This week we have some cracking picks for you all to take a look at. SirSalami has found an incredible dodge mod for Skyrim that not only adds an ability for you to dodge attacks, but also your enemies. I have a Star Wars based mod from nubyplay that I have had great fun checking out (frazzling enemies with lightning or sending them skyward never seems to get old), Terrorfox1234 has multicolored torches with a variety of uses, and Robbie922004 has come through again yet with a great pick and wri...

Staff Picks - 03 May 2017

This week they are all picks from within our Bethesda games. Terrorfox couldn't decide on just one mod, so has actually chosen 4 from the same author, all of which add additional beasties or variants of into your Skyrim game. I have chosen a mod that I think really adds a bit of variety to an otherwise annoying (but necessary) part of gaming - fast travel. SirSalami has also addressed one of his gaming pet-peeves of only being able to save a game from retiring to a bed by looking at a mod th...

Staff Picks - 19 April 2017

We’re back and have some brilliant mods for you to take a look at. SirSalami goes back to try out a mod for Morrowind, I check out Elianoras latest Fallout 4 abode, and Terrorfox… well, he just wants some kind of freedom within his Fallout 4 world, our community pick this week adds a lot more content into Skyrim and looks like a great expansion.

We have some cracking mods again for you this week. Terrorfox1234 has gone back to his chill out game of choice and found a mod that will really appeal to those of you who have played modded Minecraft, SirSalami has a mod that now enables the use of shields to block those heavy attacks and I have found my perfect Red Rocket Settlement mod. Our community still continues to provide us with great choices, this week we have a pick for a fixed UI within FONV and a quest mod with an awesome name. Chec...
