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.

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...

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...

Monthly Roundup - November 2024

As I mentioned in the Festive Screen Archery Competition post, this Roundup is a little delayed. What can I say? We’ve all been trying to use up our holiday days before the end of the year. 

Normally, I’d like to leave more time between posts, but with the Christmas holidays fast approaching, I’ve got a lot to fit into a short amount of time. I hope you all don’t mind.

Anyway, let’s crack on with our last monthly roundup of the year (how wild is that?).

Monthly Roundup - October 2024

It’s that time once more, your favourite time of the month. November is here, and so is a new roundup! Once more I bring you all our offerings of what’s been happening and the goings-on behind the scenes here at Nexus Mods.


Mod Author Analytics
A new Mod Author Analytics page is now available, giving authors a monthly breakdown of the total and unique downloads for their mods. You can find the page here.

Halloween Competition - Winners

Firstly, I’d like to start by saying a huge thank you to every single person who entered our competition. With it being our first one, I’ll be honest, we worried we’d only get two submissions if we were lucky. So to have received the number that we did was fantastic, although it did mean that it made it extremely difficult for us to narrow down our winners.

As I mentioned in the announcement post, our choices were made based on which images we enjoyed most. We understand that ...

Get To Know: Sewer56

There’s a good chance quite a few of you have probably spoken to, or at the very least seen this name in our Discord servers. Today’s interview is with Seweryn, known in the modding community as Sewer56, who is part of our App Development team.



Hey Seweryn, thanks for joining me today! For people who might not have spoken to you on our Discord, could you introduce yourself, please?

My name is Seweryn, alias Sewer56, if you see me on the web; and I’m ...

Monthly Roundup - September 2024

I come to you with another Monthly Roundup, like a cat leaving a dead bird for you at the end of your bed. Am I struggling to come up with new ways to introduce this already you ask? Yes, yes I am.

So let’s just crack on with it!


Nexus Mods App
The newest release of our new App launched last week, and with it comes our regular caution. To update it, you will need to completely uninstall the old version, including all mods. It is still in very early stages...

Get To Know: BenGosney

Welcome to the second instalment of our ‘Get to Know Us’ series. This time, the wheel of fate has landed on Ben!

Allow me to introduce Ben, or as he’s known on Nexus Mods, BenGosney. He’ll be the first to tell you it’s not the most imaginative username, but as he says, "I’m easy to find!". We hope you enjoy this interview as much as the last one!



Hey Ben, would you mind introducing yourself?

Hi, I’m Ben! I’m one of the backend ...

Introducing: CapraKurt

The Community team continues to expand like the Cult of the Absolute across Faerûn, and I now have a new friend to help me keep on top of the ever-growing inbox. Please extend the warmest of welcomes to our newest addition to the community team, Kurtis, a.k.a CapraKurt!



Tell us a little about yourself, Kurtis!

Well, I’ve been using Nexus Mods since about 2008 and so have been modding and gaming for quite a while! I’ve previously been working in mostly...

Monthly Roundup - August 2024

I know what you’re thinking, SlugGirl, didn’t we only just have a monthly roundup? Kind of, yeah. It’s been a couple of weeks though and that one was released later than normal due to how much we had going on, so humour me a little, I have a schedule to keep.

With that being said, it’s that time again. This one’s a smaller roundup, as the last was quite beefy, but here it is nonetheless!

Nexus Mods App - Cyberpunk Improvements and Multiple Loadouts

Monthly Roundup - July 2024

It’s time for another monthly roundup. I know, I can’t believe how fast the months are flying by either! I’m a little delayed on posting this one this month, as there’s been a lot going on our end, but we've got some big updates from July, so let’s take a look at what we got up to.

My Reports Page
A new ‘My Reports’ page, which displays all of your moderation reports and their current status. You can find the page by navigating to your moderation settings and cl...

Donation Points System Changes Delayed

We planned to release the Donation Points reports for April, May and June this week along with adding April's DP to your wallets. However, we're sorry to say we will be unable to meet that deadline due to an unexpected issue with the new system. The bug resulted in some inaccuracies in total DP for each author and we want to take the time to ensure that this is fixed, tested and verified before we publish any new reports. We messed up with this and we're sorry! 

Our development tea...

Donation Points System update

Back in May we told you we were changing the way mod author rewards work. We're fast approaching the launch of the new algorithm so we wanted to give a little more detail on what's changing, why it's changing and what it means for you. A TL:DR is at the end of the post

As we mentioned in the previous post, the Donation Points system has been a massive success with tens of thousands of mod authors receiving a bonus reward on top of the donations they'd have normally received directly...

So Many Milestones

We’re excited to share that the Nexus Mods community has hit three major milestones, showing just how far we’ve all come together over the years.

A couple of months ago we reached an incredible 50 million registered users, something that seems a little wild to us at times but is a number that highlights our thriving modding community. Additionally, on the 22nd of July, we added our 3,000th supported game to the site. You’ve really spoilt us for choice with all the games we can...

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...

Calling Stardew Valley testers - Nexus Mods app

Get ready, gamers! We're delighted to announce the alpha release of the Nexus Mods app - our next-generation mod manager. 

This is a very early build with limited features and only supports Stardew Valley (more games are coming later), but it's the perfect time for pioneers like you to help shape its future. In this post, we'll give you a little update on the project and provide the juicy details on how you can join the alpha.

Introducing: SlugGirl

Have you ever wanted to see what we’re up to as a community while scrolling through your Instagram feed? Hungry for some modding-themed TikToks on your fyp? We’ve got you covered! We’re excited to introduce you all to our new Content Manager, Sarah, a.k.a SlugGirl.



So Sarah, what’s your story? How did you end up here at Nexus?

Hey! Well, workwise, my background is mainly in social media management, but I’ve also worked as part of a digital marketin...
