              A while back Nexus did something that pissed off a lot of creators and they moved to other mod repositories, even deleting their shit off Nexus. In my experience, the good sexy stuff is more commonly found on other sites. Especially furry related ones.

                God damn was that the dumbest drama in the history of internet drama. The Nexus was trying to do something VERY good for end users, and mildly inconvenient for some mod authors with control issues. Thankfully, very little of value was lost.

                (Yes, I’m still a bit salty about being forced to the VASTLY inferior Thunderstore for 1% of my modding needs.)

                  Thunderstore is actually excellent for its ease of use, making a mod list to share with a friend is as easy as export profile code.

                  Where it absolutely fails is any kind of conflict resolution, vortex has it but mod organizer imo is way easier to use (and consistently works) in that regard.

                  Not to argue on the drama, it was stupid and I fully side with nexus on their reasoning.

                    The Thunderstore’s biggest failing, in my opinion, is the lack of forums/comments. 9 times out of 10, the solution to a random modding issue can be found in some old comment. This is also why I HATE the recent shift to every modder having a personal Discord. Essentially unsearchable chaos.

                    The Nexus added “collections” - essentially mod lists directly from them - and to prevent said lists from breaking all the time, as different mods are updated at different rates, they made it so older versions of a mod couldn’t be just removed by the mod author so that a collection that uses that version could still get it.
