I strongly discourage the use of the "Nexus" mod site, for reasons I won't go into here. Suffice it to say they've given a big "FU" to mod creators.

Hadn't heard anythign about that but thank you for the heads up. I'll start going to Thunderstore first.

It boils down to Nexus claiming ownership of anything posted there, but I'd rather not de-rail the thread with that drama. Instead, I'll concentrate on the functionality of the mod managers of each.

The Thunderstore Mod Manager has a much easier-to-use and more intuitive interface. It also notifies you of dependencies needed and offers to download and install them for you. Finally, it's much easier to update all of your mods with a single click, instead of searching every single mod you have for "what is broken."

It really does make it easier to manage your mods if you have several, or if you have several dozen. The Vortex manager from Nexus is lacking in all these areas (or it was last time I used them). It also requires you to have an account with nexus, where Thunderstore does not.


EDIT: Actually, this thread sums up differences in the two quite well: https://steamcommunity.com/app/892970/discussions/0/5154944131331560039/
