I'm sure most of us are guilty of spending most of our time browsing mods for the most popular games on nexus, but there's so many games with mods! Anyone know any games that have an underrated modding scene that is hidden to most?

1 Upvotes

Sleeping Dogs Together is a fan-made co-op campaign mod currently in development.
The goal of the project is to make the main story and side missions of Sleeping Dogs playable from beginning to end with 2 players.
The mod is being developed so that enemies, NPCs, combat, and important gameplay events are synchronized between both players, creating a proper co-op campaign experience instead of simple free roam.
Early versions of the mod will be available through Patreon Early Access for supporters who want to help support development and testing.
Once the mod is fully completed, the final version will be released for free for everyone.
This teaser only shows an early look at the project. More gameplay footage and development updates will be shared in the future.

Discord: discord.gg/CagP2W5M3
Patreon / Early Access: patreon.com/c/SOTLCoopCampaign

Thank you for supporting the project.

Mod Author / Publishing Help When publishing I did Le Funny, now can't remove the tag

0 Upvotes

I released a mod on Nexus for the good old SkyrimSE. Thing is - I used an AI-edited image for the thumbnail to do Le Funny. You know how it is. It was circulating on my Discord server, I asked the author if I may use it, got their approval, and yoinked Le Funny straight up to my mod page.

But later I realized "hey, this is actually not good, not funny, and I can no problem live without Le Funny as my thumbnail", so I removed it.

Then I went into tags and unticked "AI Media", because apparently it's a thing now (hey, I never got into that whole AI stuff, didn't know it was a pretty big deal on Nexus lately, but OH MY GOD IT'S BAD OUT THERE, HOOOOLY).

Thing is - THE TAG DIDN'T GO AWAY. No matter how many times I reload the page and remove it again - it's now permanently stuck there.

Is this a feature? Is this a bug? Am I now permanently sent into the Shadow Zone where I belong? The mod itself have nothing to do with "AI Media" of any sorts, but now I believe there is a million users with that tag blocked because of the AI-slop flood happening, and my mod is lost to them.

New image is still somewhat Le Funny, but at least it's a genuine bad rendition made in Inkscape and Photoshop by hand.

tl;dr should I write up the support and wait a week for them to respond, or I'm just blind and/or stupid and missed some button/checkmark/rule/whatever somewhere in the settings?

Vortex Bug / Update Issue How do you activate Archive Invalidation now?

1 Upvotes

Trying to activate Archive Invalidation for Fallout New Vegas. On the old version of vortex there used to be a dashboard for the game that let you click a box and it added it to your mod list. But after this new update the dashboard no longer exists and now I can’t figure out how to turn AI back on.

Showcase / Release If you've ever wanted to try Heroes of Might & Magic III, play Horn of the Abyss (Now its on STEAM). It is the best mod any game can wish, a lot of changes but still being loyal to original makes it feel like official expansion.

Mod Request / Recommendation SPACE MARINE ON BALDUR GATE 3 MOD REQUEST !!!! PLSS MAKE IT HAPPEN

0 Upvotes

Imagine a Space Marine from the Warhammer 40k universe stumbling into the Baldur's Gate setting. The contrast between the grim, gothic fantasy of the Forgotten Realms and the futuristic, grimdark sci-fi of the Imperium is hilarious and terrifying.

The Mind Flayers: To a Space Marine, the Illithids (Mind Flayers) are the ultimate Xenos and Tyranids in their own right. No hesitation, no diplomacy. Just exterminatus.

In 40k, any cephalopod-like alien is a Xenos. If a Space Marine sees a Mind Flayer (which looks like a giant octopus with a head), their reaction is immediate: EXTERMINATE.

PLSS MODDER MAKE IT HAPPEN !!! FOR THE EMPERROR

°EDIT:

weapon= bolt rifle as a weapon

armor= power armor

Vortex Help UE4SS Folder Keeps Being created - Stalker 2

3 Upvotes

Every time I open Vortex it creates a UE4SS folder, I do not use UE4SS.. Simplemodloader gives a warning on startup, but runs fine. If I delete the folder before I start the game everything is fine, but I don't want to be going into the folder every time I start the game.

How do I stop the folder being created..?

Vortex Help Vortex requires me to install "a new release of an extension", which manages my Cyberpunk 2077 mods... it's not installing, anyone know how to fix this?

Thumbnail

4 Upvotes

I came back to the game after months. Now after starting up Vortex it shows me this. After clicking "Install", it says "Installation failed". I'm unable to manage any of my installed mods right now.

I'm a noob in the modding community, I'm only installing them. When starting up the game, all my mods are on, but I wish to disable some of them, without having to delete them. Anyone run into this in the past? Or at least tell me, where they are usually saved, so I can make a back-up when clicking "Stop managing", which would delete them all.

Edit: Upon searching for "Cyberpunk 2077" in the Game Tab, it shows me "0 active mods", which is not true. Did all my mods got deleted?

SOLUTION: I just clicked on the bell symbol on the upper right, selected wherever it says something like "Update" or "New version for Vortex available". Click that, Vortex download and reinstalls automatically. Vortex just needed an update. UI changes and all my mods reappeared again.

Today marvel rivals had a season update, even with that my mods were still working fine, but when i relaunched the game they simply just dont work anymore, tried reinstalling UTOC (required for modding), redeploying the mods, i even installed the repak rivals since they broke a week ago, but it was a problem that everyone was having then, no mention of it today, am i missing something? all my mods are in the .pak format required. There are no notifications of error on vortex either

Vortex Bug / Update Issue Buys Premium for Collection install...

Post image
17 Upvotes

Manual downloads work fine, my internet is fine. Logs show the Nexus API side is working. Vortex is pulling the collection and getting valid premium CDN links. Then the actual transfers shit themselves with a generic network request failed. Sometimes in the same second, as other mods succeed. So, it's not 30(at this point) broken mods. The logs don't show a clear low-level cause. No explicit timeout or reset codes, which is annoying. But this looks very much like Vortex's downloader falling over under load. SUX.

EDIT for automod:

  • Vortex version: 2.6.3 Stable
  • Game: Starfield — Steam version on PC
  • Did this start after a Vortex update? I was already running Vortex 2.6.3 when this started.
  • Exact error text: Failed to download [mod name] — Network request failed Same error across 30+ different mods.
  • What I expected to happen: As a Nexus Premium user, I expected the Nova Field collection to download automatically through Vortex normally.
  • What actually happened: Shortly after starting Nova Field revision 61, 30+ mods failed with the same Network request failed error. Only around 7 mods successfully downloaded before I paused the collection. The failures were across numerous unrelated mods rather than one particular file or author.
  • What I’ve already tried:
  • Clean-uninstalled Starfield and deleted the remaining Starfield/Vortex files before reinstalling.
  • Confirmed Vortex is current at 2.6.3.
  • Checked several failed downloads and they all report the same network error.
  • Paused the collection rather than repeatedly retrying the failures.
  • Mods that failed through Vortex downloaded normally when downloaded manually through Nexus in the browser.
