MODERATORS
I just don't like Nexus having basically a monopoly on mod hosting. I wish there were more mod hosting sites like Nexus, but not only Nexus.
Then they should be better. Nexus' monopoly is like steam's. They got it by just making a product that isn't a major pain to work with. (Okay all Bethesda modding is always a major pain but nexus has made it as tolerqble as it has been so far)
you are wrong, ateam doesnmt have a "steam premium" and also doesn't cap the download speeds...
Moddb?
Another good option, but more than two is better than just two giant ones.
For Bethesda RPGs: afkmods.com, tesalliance.org, loverslab.com (NSFW but has normal mods too). There are a bunch of small sites like these.
For other games with large modding communities Nexus Mods is often not the main site.
My favourite modding setup I have seen has to be Thunderstore with r2modman (initially Risk of Rain 2 modding, branched out to other Unity games), ridiculously simple and functional. All FOSS too.
Moddb was mentioned. Another good one is thunderstore. It all depends on the game though. Valheim (and several other units based games) is very active on both Nexus and thunderstore, stalker games tend to be moddb, &c. Nexus tends to be the main one for most games though.
I mostly like Nexus (paid member), but I share the concern about it being the only game in town for most games. Nexus is heaps better as a site than both moddb and thunderstore ime, but the lack of real alternatives is putting way too many eggs in the same basket.
They are also known to ban mods they don't like.
