The issue isn't the archiving, per se, of the mods it's the complete inability to pull their mods offline.

It's a game-agnostic version of the mod load order sorters that games like Morrowind/Oblivion have had for ages with built-in downloading capability. A collection is nothing more than a text list of the specific mods, and the specific version of those mods, to download and the order to install/load them in. Keeping mod versions archived is really a reason for modders to leave the platform? I guess I'm ignorant of the degree of impact here.Д«ut the way Nexus seems to be handling it is that any version is automatically archived for as long as it's in a collection?ДЄll versions are permanently archived whether they're in a collection or not. I'm wondering, since you mention you are monetized on the platform, if you are impacted negatively with these changes WRT that monetization. But the way Nexus seems to be handling it is that any version is automatically archived for as long as it's in a collection? I would say keeping older versions available is a nice-to-have feature for users who can make it work - as long as you're not expected to support it. It's your work and you should be able to withdraw it entirely on your prerogative. If you make a new version of your mod that drops/changes some kind of compatibility, are you expected/forced to offer support on older versions? The fact that you see to be unable to 'leave' the site with your mod work is an overreach IMO.

Not challenging you, but I'm wondering why what appears to me to be an extended archive of older mod versions, is a bad thing. If I understand what you've said here, it's that the collections feature makes it so older/non-updated copies of a mod are archived so that mod users can continue to access them and even if a mod is 'current' but part of a collection, it stays available even if you desire to stop working on it? Nexus is now taking that away.ДЇull disclosure: I'm one of Nexus Mods' top 1% mod makers and am monetised on the platform. Their copyrights don't exist (my own mods are wholly copyrighted to Bethesda Softworks, Microsoft, Redmond) and control is all they have. Modders exist in a weird space where creative control is all they have. Some popular modders, Arthmoor is making news recently, are pulling out completely. The Nexus Mod Manager is quite able to handle mod conflicts, and even to resolve deletions locally on the local machine, giving this same behaviour, but allowing mod makers to delete their mods from the site.

It's a warhammer to solve a problem requiring a katana. The reaction, to not allow a mod to be deleted and to retain previous versions, is ham-fisted. Where mod compatibility (where it exists, I posted many a rant on this topic) is changed, Nexus collections are broken. Now if my mod was part of that load out (and, for Fallout 3, it probably is) and I decide to supersede, change compatibility, or delete my mod, I've broken your collection. Nexus is introducing a feature called 'collections' where players can set up their mod load-out for whatever game. It strikes quite close to my heart, as I'm one of the mod makers affected. Various sections of the gaming press are covering this one.
