NEXUS MOD MANAGER SERVER UPDATE

Collections are meant to ease new folks into the process even more gently by presenting a group of mods that play nice together without them sorting through conflicts and edge cases themselves. Even if it's gotten more approachable over the years thanks to mod managers such as Nexus's own Vortex manager, there's still the possibility of sorting out conflicts between mods, managing their load order, and sometimes doing extra tweaking in configuration files. Installing mods for a game is a daunting prospect at first. That's where their upcoming Collections system comes in.

Foundationally, Nexus say that 'it is our conviction and vision that modding should be as easy as possible, so more people can enjoy this hobby that has brought us all together and that laid the foundation for the very existence of our site and community 20 years ago.'

NEXUS MOD MANAGER SERVER UPDATE

Nexus Mods have written an update about their plans for the Collections feature and, as they warn, it is indeed a long one. It's a big change, and Nexus have written a rather long post (longer than this one) explaining the 'how's, 'why's, and 'what now's of the new system. Instead, mod authors will be able to archive files, though they'll still be downloadable via Collections that include them. In anticipation of launching the Collections system, Nexus say that mods can no longer be completely deleted from the site. Mega game mod hosting site Nexus Mods have revealed more information about their upcoming Collections feature which they hope will make installing mods a more approachable experience for users.
