• Script merger:manager:3 mod tools, also known as Witcher.
• Mods will not work with any version lower than V-1.08, sorry but you have to update to at least that level. Suggest at a minimum that you update to V-1.11, current Witcher 3 build is V-1.12.1 Ohhh and here I though that the problem was from Nesxus Mod Manager, So all I have to do is update to the newest version!
• The NMM don´t recognizes the.exe in the x64 directory and you can install all the mods you want, that if the NMM don´t opens the correct file, they will not work never. Do a manual download and install. W3 mods need no activation. Once in mod folder they will load.

Today we are talking to two authors from the Witcher 3 community: wiggolp and Damastor - both of whom have managed to create new quest mods for the game, adding new areas, dialogue, and more! BigBizkit: To start this off, let me ask you, wiggolp, about your mod adding a completely new quest to the game - Ciri’s Sole Memento.

Nexus Mods is a site which allows users to upload and download 'mods' (modifications) for computer games. It acts as a source for the distribution of original content. It is one of the largest gaming modification websites on the web,^[2] and, as of May 2018, had ten million registered members. Founded in 2001 as a fan site,^[1] Nexus Mods was modified into the website TESSsource in 2007.^[1][3] The Nexus Mods network supported 996 games as of June 2020, with a single forum and a wiki for site and mod-related topics.^[4] Recently, the Nexus Mods site expanded to serve as a host for mod files for any modifiable PC game.^{[citation needed]} The website's hosting and publication of various mods has been covered in the gaming and computer press.^[5]

History[edit]

Nexus Mods was founded by Robin Scott and a friend in August 2001 as a fan site for the Bethesda Softworks game The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind under the name of Morrowind Chronicles.^[1] After the success of Morrowind Chronicles, Scott and the friend he was working alongside founded a company by the name of GamingSource and created the website TESSource, which allowed users to upload their modifications and content for games in The Elder Scrolls video game series. Scott soon became tired with the revenue of the websites being split when he was operating the websites by himself, and made the decision to break away from TESSource in 2007 and founded his own website under the name of TESNexus. Scott made use of the TESSource website with his new venture. This resulted in more than 200 additional games being supported by early 2017.^{[failed verification][3]}

As of January 2013, Nexus Mods had a reported five million users.^[6] Scott indicated in 2013 that the Nexus sites would remain free of corporate investment in the foreseeable future, also avoiding direct ads. Revenue instead came from premium memberships, with the site otherwise free.^[7] As of 2014, it was one of the largest gaming modification websites on the web, with over 971 million downloads since its initial launch, and a member count of more than 8 million registered users.^[2]

In November 2015, Nexus Mods announced that due to the release of Fallout 4, the website had over ten million registered members. In December,^[6] the website reported a possible security breach of account names, and recommended that its members change their passwords.^[6][8] Financial information was not breached, as the website uses PayPal for all transactions.^[9]

Notable mods[edit]

Mods hosted on the site can change games in a number of ways, from adding a first-person perspective^[10] to adding fully developed worldspaces with voice-acted quests.^[11] Mods for The Witcher have been built for improving immersion,^[12] and Nexus Mods is highly noted for its support of the game The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and is often regarded as the largest website supporting modifications for games in The Elder Scrolls series of games, with sites like PC Gamer and Kotaku referencing Nexus in multiple articles regarding modifications for The Elder Scrolls series.^[13][14]

The website's hosting and publication of various mods has been covered in the gaming and computer press.^[5] In 2016, Forbes praised the 'Alternate Start - Live Another Life' mod posted to Nexus for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - Special Edition in a feature article.^[15] In January 2017, a Fallout 4 mod on Nexus Mods was covered in the Daily Express,^[5] with other Fallout 4 mods reported on by WWG,^[16]Paste Magazine,^[17] the Christian Times,^[18] and PC Gamer.^[19][20]

Features[edit]

Vortex Mod Manager Witcher 3

Nexus Mods requires users to register before uploading any files or downloading files over a certain file-size limit.^[2] User accounts integrate across all of the available sites, meaning a user only needs one account to make use of all of the Nexus websites. Each account and file page is also integrated with the Nexus Forums.^{[citation needed]}

The website gives users the ability to:^{[citation needed]}

• Upload files to their modification's webpage
• Create and display an information page about their modification
• Upload images of their modification
• Comment on file pages
• Browse categories to find modifications for their games
• Search for a specific modification for their games

In June 2016, wide-ranging theft of NexusMods mods for other corporate mod websites was noted in the press, with Nexus owner Robin Scott (Dark0ne) criticizing Bethesda's lack of response to the issue.^[21] That month, Nexus added an extra permissions system to the website so stolen mods on other websites were easier to see. Although there was already an extensive permissions system for mods, the addition to the system for console modding allowed users to select what their intent for the mod was in terms of use, and where they would allow it to be available. It also allowed 'console players to search the Nexus system for mods they can find via their console's Bethesda.net browser if they like the look of them.'^[22]

Supported games[edit]

The Nexus Mods network supported 1078 games as of October 2020, and features a single forum and a wiki for site and mod-related topics.^[4] The main Nexus Mods web page lists the various games for which mods are available, along with the number of files, authors and downloads. As of December 2019, games with the most mods hosted were:

Witcher 3 Nexus

Recently, the Nexus Mods site expanded to serve as a host for mod files for any modifiable PC game.

Nexus Mod Manager[edit]

Nexus Mod Manager (NMM) is an open-source program associated with Nexus Mods^[23] available for the Microsoft Windows platform that automates the download and installation of mods for seventeen games as of January 2015, among them The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and Fallout 3.^[24] Advantages of using NMM over manual mod installation include easy organization, installation, and uninstallation of mods. According to the Nexus site, NMM 'integrates with the Nexus sites to provide you with a fast, efficient, and much less hassled modding experience.'^[25]

Nexus Mod Manager has since been replaced by Vortex, the official Nexus Mods mod manager with improved mod handling and a more modern interface.
