The original trilogy of games remain some of the genres best (despite not aging that well graphically by modern standards), but a lack of a fourth sequel eventually put a set of dedicated fans to work. We will review this restriction sometime after the next President of the United States has been inaugurated.If you like your games with a healthy dose of stealth, then there’s a good chance you’ve played one or more of the Thief games over the years. This ban will apply to all mods uploaded from the 28th of September onwards. We have neither the time, the care or the wish to moderate such things. As we get closer to the US election in November we expect this trend to increase as it did this time 4 years ago.Ĭonsidering the low quality of the mods being uploaded, the polarising views they express and the fact that a small but vocal contingent of our users are seemingly not intelligent or grown up enough to be able to debate the issues without resorting to name calling and baseless accusations without proof (indicative of the wider issues plaguing our world at this time) we’ve decided to wipe our hands clean of this mess and invoke an outright ban on mods relating to sociopolitical issues in the United States.
Recently we have seen a spate of provocative and troll mods being uploaded based around current sociopolitical issues in the United States. In a post to the site’s news page, the admins of NexusMods walk a fine line in expressing their frustration without espousing any political ideology apart from, perhaps, “anti-idiot”:
I blurred out one mod that used an image of a protester shot in Kenosha by Kyle Rittenhouse. Unfortunately, even something as simple as a way to add decorative tapestries to Skyrim is a proxy political battleground, with numerous mods appearing to, for example, replace generic enemies in a game with Trump supporters or “rioters.” Here’s a screenshot from Reddit user Cipherx02, who noted that users were also filling the description fields with disinformation: NexusMods is one of the larger collections of such mods, and a lively community. “Modding” (as in modifying) is the practice of creating new content for games that players can then install on their own, for example adding new levels or characters, or adjusting the interface or difficulty. elections following a flood of troll content, saying “we’ve decided to wipe our hands clean of this mess.” Not exactly headline news, no, but a reminder that the toxic behavior frequently seen (and blamed) on social media is pervasive even in niches where politics would seem to be completely irrelevant.
NexusMods, a large platform and gathering place for modding PC games, has banned all content relating to the U.S.
