Account gone (no support), no more life time premium, bias in regards to mods that only serve to fix and remove ideological agendas in games, lying about why they remove content to look good, almost... See more

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

The app crashes time and time again. Sometimes, it's just a black void before it crashes without warning, and other times, it opens, appears to be working, but the moment I enable/disable or install... See more

Dishonorable "company"

Won't refund because of 14-day threshold with strict evidence of not even logging in to their site during the whole 30-day subscription. This service does not deserve any respect/donations from you as a customer as they have been proven to not care about you as a customer at all, they only care about your money.

Shoddy renewal process!

Shoddy renewal process!

Most subscription companies give you a warning that you are due to renew, not Nexus. Suddenly you are notified that you were charged for renewal. If you do subscribe, remove your credit card so that you don't receive a $100 surprise!

The censorship and moderation

The censorship and moderation, the paywall and all other bs that they did. We really need to ditch this and go back to moddb or any other website. Disgrace.

Absolutely Terrible

Terrible moderation, full of porn ads without a blocker, constant sh!tty unnecessary site updates greedy business practice everywhere, I could go on.

The moderators are all woke virtual signaling liberals that hate free speech and push their obnoxious agenda.

Commenting that you don't like a mod that disables heterosexual marriage? BANNED! Rape and disgustingly objectifying sex mods? Welcome aboard!

They cap download speeds at 3mb a second and their corrupt staff will ban you on a whim and keep your stuff on their site without your consent, yet enforce their ridiculous permission rules constantly.

This is not even mentioning that their software is terrible. Their mod manager is laughably bad and if you get banned on their stupid sh!thole of a site, good luck trying to mod any games with it. Their UI is absolutely awful too, especially for a modding website.

Bunch of obnoxious greedy woke b@stards. Do yourself a favor and turn on your adblocker and never say anything on this dumbass site.

Auto install behind a paywall

The speed limitation is straight bull:shi:t 3mb/s???, but ok,fair you gotta make money somehow, but to put automatic install behind a paywall, hell nah, If u want to install a Collection with 1400+ mods good luck manually installing every mod, that's insane.

Sadly you don`t have here zero stars

Sadly you don`t have here zero stars. This website is full of crap. Anyway long story short, they offer premium accounts to make sure downloads is faster and u can download more....................and after they blocking access to website. "Too much traffic from your IP". And no matter that some of they files are 40gb and even more. I don`t know who runs this crap, but they are outdated for like 20 years. Will never use this site again.

It sucks now

This site used to be great. Now it's run by virtue signaling dipshits that want to decide how you are allowed to enjoy your game.

The moderation is ridiculous

The moderation here is ridiculous. The admins, moderators, and most of the community are the biggest wimps on earth. They give these wimpy admins and mods their positions of power just to boost their egos. You can't curse, you have to be a degenerate, you have to be a sheep with no opinion, and you have to be a freak for people to like you in this community. I don't know what happened to the moderation team over the last five years, but they hired all the diversity staff and LGBTQ freaks, and now the site's community is on life support. Don't support these freaks.

I have been moding since twenty twelve

I have been moding since twenty twelve, thats a long time using Nexus Mods,I have a very nice gaming ring and very fast internet especially for the price.I will never run my p.c without an add blocker.

Throttling the speed so that i will pony up Sixty jibs a year..........Hmmm i think not.

I have nothing against folks trying to earn some Scratch........But nearly sixty jibs a year is extracting the urine.I thought Steam was bad for it but at lest they don't try to strong arm you

Great mods. Easy to download.

Great mods. Easy to download. Premium accounts are payable only in GBP (this has now been rectified). The mods are free. Downloading them is also free. I have dozens upon dozens of mods for various games, and have never hit something with a virus. I use this site with Vortex, which works well for most of my games.

I do wish the modder's names were searchable.

This service deserves to be obliterated…

This service deserves to be obliterated into deepest hell. Would give 0 star instead of 1. Starting from login, downloading, payment, tools, and troubleshooting, Nexus mods is worst nightmare any human can ever experience.

Anything else would be better than this.

Nexus mods policy

Mod sharing website that politics gone woke and far-left outright banning mods that don't suit their likings while allowing other mods that are highly inappropriate.
