So i did some googling but there is nothing, i remember some years back when F4 came out, there was a web site that would steal everything from Nexus but also allow files to be uploaded,
When people leave nexus where they go to? [Moddb excluding, i know about it, but it doesn't have a big community of F3/FNV, Souls games, Dragon Age etc, games that i mod]

I been a member on nexus since FNV came out, maybe earlier, but nexus went full woke and i cant support that.

I wish there was an alternative or people just need to start one.

How did they go woke? I don't really keep up with the site very much, just use it for mods.

Recently there's been some silly drama on our site that was sparked by someone uploading a mod for Spider-Man Remastered. The mod replaced the very few Pride flags the game actually has with the already prevalent USA flag texture from the game. The mod was removed from Nexus Mods and the author was banned.

To address the banning, which is what a lot of people want to focus on, the mod was uploaded by a sock puppet account (i.e. a newly made account by someone who already has an account on the site) and uploaded under the name "Mike Hawk". It was very clearly done deliberately to be a troll mod. The fact the user needed to make a sock puppet like a coward to upload the mod showed their intent to troll and that they knew it would not be allowed. Had they not been a coward and had they used their main account instead, we would have simply removed the mod and told them that we did not want to host it, only banning them if they reuploaded it again after being fairly warned. The creation of the sock puppet removed any doubt and made it a very easy decision for us. Both the sock puppet account and the user's main account have been banned.

In regards to the replacement of Pride flags in this game, or any game, our policy is thus: we are for inclusivity, we are for diversity. If we think someone is uploading a mod on our site with the intent to deliberately be against inclusivity and/or diversity then we will take action against it. The same goes for people attempting to troll other users with mods deliberately to cause a rise. For our part, we will endeavour to do a better job of moderating our website to this ethos ourselves.

We aren't the authority on what users can and cannot mod. Us removing a mod only means it cannot be found at Nexus Mods, nothing more, nothing less. We also note that we are not the only site that has removed this mod from their platform. As a private business, we have a right to choose what content we do and do not want to host on our platform. Respect this right the same way you want respect for your rights.

If you feel something goes against our policy then please report it. However, we will be the adjudicators on what we do or do not think is appropriate for Nexus Mods. And that goes for everyone no matter where they stand; left, right, up or down.

We don't want to and won't argue this with you. We've now explained our stance and we won't be providing a platform for you to distort our position in order to feed an irrational and paranoid narrative. You can do that elsewhere, where we won't care enough to read it.

If this policy upsets you, if we've broken some moral code of conduct as a business that you can't accept, then please, delete your account (bottom option) and move on, as we will.

They been banning people like the above [something that not part of their TOS, when i signed up with them, nothing said "you cant remove lgbtlol flags in games"
They selectively target people that change races, not all mind you but black to white or asian to white, people that remove the over abundance of lgbtlol propagandist in video games.

If you remove US flag and put rainbow puke nothing will happen, if you do the opposite its a ban.

lmao, chill out, they removed a shitty mod, they didn't ban your political opinions.

It wasn't a mod. The file just changed your game region to middle-eastern because, as you probably know, in middle-eastern countries things like pride flags are illegal and people with different cultures and religions get offended by it.
If you want to be open-minded and accept other peoples belives it should go both ways.

Yes they did. Anyone who pointed out the things I wrote above got banned from the nexus, as did the original mod author.
They banned him for expressing his "political" believes.

Oh boy, shame on me for setting up a political pissing contest with a stranger on the internet, you win, i cant be fucked getting involved, have a nice day, hope you find an alternative mod site although Nexus pre much has the monopoly unless you're playing a more niche title.

Other than Nexus, Gun, and Modb, the only one i'm aware of is some mod author websites such as https://files.icestormng-mods.de/d/787267a3e362412c8751/  , but that helps only if your looking for their mods exclusively.  I know that you can typically get google drive downloads from some of the mod author discords as well. Otherwise I wish i could help you more, but that's all I've got. I hope it DOES help though!

btw
that Nexus stuff is utter bull. there is no reason whatsoever that they should be banning a simple texture replacement like that, let alone the man's account! and yet they seem perfectly fine hosting nearpornographic-pornographic mods, and other mentally disturbing content. but heaven forbid someone wants to change a LGQTRS... whatever alphabet thing flag, now that's apparently a crime! whatever happened to freedom of speech!  Its bad enough when big tech and the like does it, but are you kidding me! Mod websites are now thought policing their websites!!!

If you want I can give you an invite to a couple of the modding discords im still part of. If nothing else, the people their are REALLY good at pointing you towards mods that are otherwise impossible to find (that's how i found the above)

Dunno people's thoughts on Schaken Mods? I been using it for a while now and it seems an OK site?

In case anyone still wonders. Some good quality mods seem to be hosted on Devianart.
