They don't know how to manage this website. They hire developers and community managers that come out of nowhere because of DEI. I'm not even a political person, just someone in the "center" but these... See more

I'm just done with this woke nonsense!

Nexus use to be a place where everyone could come together and do wondrous things to the games we love to play. Hundreds of mods under my belt and now I've gotten rid of them all and nexus mods as a whole due to how far they have fallen.

They ban people for having an opinion they disagree with, even creators and then steal their works by keeping theor assets on the site. They care more about pleasing the alphabet group overlords rather than just being a mod hosting site and doing their jobs.
Funny enough they claim to be on the side of morality yet continue to host CP mods. These guys are blatantly pushing far left ideologies and have done more to destroy something that is to be a place for fun. Fortunately there's other modding sites and balders gate 3 just came out so I can't wait to see the competition grow

Incorrect politics and forcing woke ideology on modders/users

Banning modders for making non-pronoun mods, or non-woke material, and stating this is done to stay inclusive is utter bull5h1t. on, the other hand they keep darker mods than simply removing pronoun or replacing Bodytype with Sex. mods are meant to be creative. I draw the line, when the official response is to go ahead and delete your account if you disagree, which I did.

The worst mod Platform ever made.

Not only are they absolute greedy cun.ts. They are Far Left Extremists that will ban anything that doesn't align with their political views. There's also the highly illegal mods that for some reason, haven't been checked on by the authorities.

Make a pride flag disapear from a game ? Insta Banned.

Make a Pedophile/rape Mod ? you're welcome aboard the fantastic Nexusmods !

Also, the website being down H24, aren't you guys the biggest mod platform ?

And also wanting to capitalize on mods, where the mods are made to always be free. Hope you'l meet your downfall soon enough.

Extremely Politically Biased

Extremely Politically Biased Mod site censoring any slight disagreement with their beliefs and endorsing mods related to terrorism and extremist anti authoritarian politics.

Garbage Security and Moderation

Deleted my mod cause it had copy righted music in it looked on the moderators page who deleted my stuff only to find they upload loads of anime mods with copyrighted characters and music. If you're ever gonna use this site use a throwaway email as it is known for having security breaches where your information will be leaked and toxic staff to boot. Do you like your creations being stolen deleted or censored then post on nexus mods. Upload to alternative mod sites this place is cancer in more ways than one

The moderation is bad

The moderation is unstable, rude, and bigoted. They ban mods and users on a whim but allow mods that glorify violence and sexual abuse.

Hypocrisy in it's purest form.

Nexus mods prides itself on calling out and banning "bigots" while simultaneously and proudly hosting mods that include pedophilia, bestiality, enslavement, torture, violence against women, and the list goes on. With so much vile and disturbing content, where do they draw the line? At politics, of course!

Far left intolerant extremists

Far left intolerant extremists, this will be their downfall but leave them to their fantasy politics. There are other alternatives that are better out there without the woke intolerant garbage

Get Woke, Go Broke

I wish I did not have to make this review, but this needs to stop. This is why i am only giving 1 Star

1. They remove comments telling the truth about mod makers harassing other mod makers and seem 100% fine with letting it happen.

2. They just change at a whim what NSFW content they are okay with on the fly making mod makers worry when their mods will be removed at random from someone in the moderator's teams feelings being hurt.

3. Here is a few fast things to list off that needs to stop.

-download cap at ridiculous amount
-doubled prices while claiming to be free
-treated modding community
-scheming and selfish staff
-impudent and impertinent "support"
-quick to ban for ridiculous reasons
-does calumny campaigns on equal competitors
-highly monetized site with a million ads blinking
-intensively collects and sells user data to plenty creepy third party companies
-tricks users to take ownership of uploads

And last thing I need to say to anyone reading this, the website is run by disgusting imbeciles who actively push political propagandas, by banning mods that dare to go against their degenerate worldview so boycott them into the ground until they have to start doing their job or go broke trying to push this BS.

Political bias

Sadly a lot of mods get removed because they don't fit a political agenda.
First hogwarts legacy and now in starfield.
