It's that time again, another Modding Drama Shit storm.
TL;DR
Nexus has released an announcement that Mod makers can no longer delete their mods after a 1 month grace period starting now. Queue up the collective screaming and whining from pre-madonna "artists" as they exclaim they will now be pulling down their shitty blendshapes and re-texture mods down. Oh Noes!
Nexus claims this is for their new ~collection~ feature. However we all know the truth. No more cringey ass "If Trump Wins you can't play my Civil War Mod every again!" bullshit. If any especially juicy posts come out of this I'll self-bump this thread.

This is why with this news post and with an accompanying email being sent out to all mod authors on our site (which should go out in the next few days), we’re letting you know that over the next 30 days you can now request all of your files currently hosted on Nexus Mods to be deleted by sending an email to support@nexusmods.com. Once you have formalised the request, we will delete all of your files the same way we would have before implementing the file archiving change - no questions asked. The deleted files will no longer be served by us in any way, shape, or form, including via the API/collections.
Here’s an overview of the deletion requesting process:
- Until 5 August 2021 (10:00 AM BST), you may request all of your files to be deleted permanently from our services. Requests received until that date will be processed even after the deadline has expired.
- In order to streamline the process you may only request to have all of your files deleted (all or nothing).
- We will only be processing deletion requests based on this template sent to support@nexusmods.com.
- We can only honour deletion requests sent from the email attached to your account.
- To fully process the deletion: after receiving your email, we will send you a personal message on our site/forums to confirm the deletion and you will need to respond to it before the deadline expires.
- The announced changes to file deletions i.e. the introduction of file archiving remain active.
- Should you not request a full deletion of your files until the designated deadline, you accept that going forward your files will only be deleted at the discretion of staff.
- You accept that new files uploaded to our services after the designated deadline will only be deleted at the discretion of staff.
- The option to archive your files at any time is not affected by this.
- The status of your Nexus Mods account will not be affected either way i.e. your account is not going to be deleted or suspended whether you request a deletion of your files or not, unless you specifically request it.
We understand that some of you will not like this, but I sincerely hope we’ve managed to explain why we’re convinced that this is the way to move forward from here on. It might not be what we all wanted, but we think this way is fair, as you get to make your choice.
