Stardew Valley Modfest - Winners

Celebrating Stardew Valley’s 10th anniversary with the Modfest has been an absolute highlight for me. This was our first event specifically for the Stardew Valley community, and you all completely blew it out of the water. I spent every day scrolling through submissions, just floored by the creativity, the art, and the heart put into every single project. It’s a massive reminder of why this community is so special. 

Now, before we get into it, we owe a massive thank you to our ...

Monthly Roundup - May 2026

I can't believe we're already halfway through the year. The months seem to be flying by, and we’ve finally had some nice weather here in the UK. Although, looking out the window right now, there's some grey clouds and it's threatening to rain again, which reminds me of a poem someone told me when I moved to Devon to work at Nexus Mods: 

Devon, Devon, Devon. Where it rains six days out of seven.

Anyway, let’s crack on, shall we?

Fallout Collectionathon - Winners

The Fallout Collectionathon has officially come to a close! I know you’ve all been eagerly waiting to see who took the top spots across our different categories, and it was certainly a close competition.

Before we dive into the results, I want to take a moment to say a massive thank you to everyone who fired up Vortex and got involved. We've never run a Collection curation competition before and seeing the incredible ways you have reimagined the Wasteland, whether you were doing s...

Monthly Roundup - April 2026

Another roundup, the months just continue to fly by. It’s a little late, I know, but we had a bank holiday here in the UK, and surprisingly, some nice weather for once too, so a bonus.

We’ve got some big updates this month, so have a look at what we’ve been up to in April.

The New Mod Upload Form: Now Out Of Open Beta

We took a big step towards making modding easier this month, and we’re really excited to share t...

The New Upload Form is Here

From day one, the upload form has been the bridge between your hard work and the players who love it. It’s one of the most important tools on the site, so we knew when we began this project, it needed to be great.

Back in March, we launched the Open Beta for a totally redesigned upload flow - rebuilt from scratch to be faster, more reliable, and way less of a headache.

Today, after loads of successful uploads and a ton of great feedback from all of you, we’re excite...

From Mods to Vegas: Celebrating Our Modathon Winners

As I’m sure a lot of you will remember, at the end of last year, we ran the Fallout Modathon. The idea was to bring Fallout Mod Authors together to create and have some fun, sharing their incredible work.

The response we had was, honestly, unbelievable. There were hundreds of submissions, which led to millions of downloads, and we’re still touched by it all. It went as well as we could’ve hoped for, better in fact, and whilst there’s a lot we can do to continue to improve on...

Monthly Roundup - March 2026

I’m back again. How are we all? 

We’re not slowing down on the work here, I’ll tell you that. Last month was a big Roundup, and so is this one. So I hope you’re sat, you’re comfy, and let’s get into it!


Creator Friction

This month, we’ve taken a big step forward with our Creator Friction work, moving some of these projects out of closed testing and into Open Beta. That means more of you can get hands-on with them and help shape how the...

Skyblivion Needs You!

Calling all experienced modders and developers!

Skyblivion is undoubtedly one of the most anticipated community projects in the history of Bethesda modding, and the dream of experiencing Cyrodiil fully remade in the Skyrim engine is getting extremely close to becoming a reality.

However, to get this monumental project completely over the finish line, the Skyblivion team needs just a little extra firepower. They are currently on the hunt for the final, vital members of ...

SkyUI Update: SkyUI 6

We've got a really cool update to share with you all today; in fact, you may already have seen it or read about it elsewhere!

In case you missed it, though, we’ve been working alongside doodlum to bring you all a new SkyUI 6 community update, which combines years of community fixes and improvements while staying faithful to its original design philosophy. The goal was to make SkyUI work seamlessly with newer versions of Skyrim Special Edition and its modding in general, witho...

The New Upload Form is Now in Open Beta

We’ve got another exciting update to share today as we continue our mission to make life easier for Mod Authors. Following on from our recent API news, we’re delighted to announce that the brand-new Upload Form has officially entered Open Beta!

After a successful closed testing phase where we gathered invaluable feedback from our early testers, we’re ready to invite the wider community to try out this full refresh of the mod submission journey.

Let’s have a look...

Upload API Open Beta Now Live!

We’ve got an exciting update to share today: the next step in how Mod Authors can share content on Nexus Mods is finally here! We’re delighted to announce the Open Beta launch of the Upload API. This first beta is focused on updating your mods, and, after a very successful closed testing phase with Verified Mod Authors, we’re now ready to open it up to the wider community. We’re incredibly excited about all the possibilities it will unlock for you.

Now, before we take a clos...

Brazil Age Verification

Hi everyone. We wanted to share an important update about how adult content will be handled for our community in Brazil. In September last year, the Brazilian government passed the Digital ECA (Digital Child and Adolescent Statute), a law that requires digital platforms that minors can access to use reliable and auditable age-verification systems for adult content.

To make sure Nexus Mods stays available and compliant in Brazil before the law comes into force tomorrow (17th March 20...

C3: Community Creations Con 2026

It’s that time of year again: C3: Community Creations Con returns this March 14th and 15th! This annual, community-driven, virtual convention is a chance to celebrate incredible talent within our modding community and to showcase a diverse range of creations across Fallout, Elder Scrolls, and Starfield.

Organised this year by Kate Aces and Elianora, the event has always been something we here at Nexus Mods are incredibly proud to support and help promote.

Monthly Roundup - February 2026

Helloooo everyone, I’m back, as promised, with another Monthly Roundup. I did say there’d be a wait for this one due to time off over the holiday period in December, catching up on work and setting things up for the year in January. So, thank you for your patience.

There’s a LOT to cover in this one!

Vortex
So, what’s new? Well, we’ve had this one cooking for a while. The team are really excited to bring you speed and reliability improvements across the ...

A Decade in the Valley - Modfest 2026

Next week, we’ll be wishing Stardew Valley a very happy 10th anniversary! We can’t believe it’s been a whole decade already. But it’s true - on the 26th of February 2016, ConcernedApe first blessed us.

And wow, we could never have guessed we’d be where we are today. Stardew’s modding scene is something truly special. It’s full of creativity, generosity, and people who genuinely love this game.

So this year, to celebrate ten incredible years of Stardew Vall...

Fallout Modathon Winners

I know you've all been waiting to find out, but before I share who the winners are, I want to take a moment to thank every single person who participated in the Fallout Modathon. I’ll be honest, I was nervous before we launched it. What if we’d put all this together and no one entered? I can't tell you how many times I refreshed the page until the first mod was submitted. But all that worry was for nothing, we had so many entries, 610 in fact! 

It’s been overwhelming, in the ...

Our Focus For 2026

Hi everyone, Iluviel here. I want to give you a heads-up on what we’re going to be working on at Nexus Mods in 2026 and some of the changes we’ve made to make that possible.


Organisation

Some boring, but important, stuff first. We’ve changed how we work pretty dramatically over the last year. Some things weren’t working for us as well as they could, causing small friction points. Nothing dramatic or groundbreaking, just small problems that added up over t...

Introducing the Fallout Collectionathon

Over the past month, Fallout has returned to our screens with Season 2 of the award-winning TV show and to celebrate we held our very own Modathon. You all responded in style with a wave of incredible new mods celebrating the series, from Long 15 to QUIP - Quick Use Inventory Panel. You have made it all!

To keep the fun going, we’re excited to announce a brand new event: our very first Collectionathon! You’ll find everything on our dedicated event landing page, including the fu...

Why We’re Focusing on Vortex Going Forward

Over the last year, we've talked a lot about our mission: making modding easier.

Not just for the people who've been doing this for decades, but for everyone. The new modder installing their first texture pack. The collection curator trying to share their vision. The veteran who just wants things to work without fighting through ten different tools.

We've spent that time listening. Testing ideas. Watching how people actually use what we build. And one thing became reall...

The Las Vegas Modathon Trip

This is not a drill; there are only two weeks left of the Fallout Modathon. But don't panic, there's still time to get your submissions in and put yourself in the running to win our trip of a lifetime to Las Vegas!

And on that note, you've probably seen me talk about the trip quite a lot already, but I've been pretty vague beyond saying, “this is roughly what we’re planning”. So, if you've been dying to know what the trip itself will actually look like, or you have been trying...
