Skyrim Nexus v Steam Workshop

[Bikerdude]

After getting a 3rd of the way through this game and then giving up due to the amount of bugs, I am looking at again from scratch.

 

I popped over to the Nexus website to see its a pay site now and after reading the following blog, its not looking good. Rather disappointingly the same BS and knee jerk Nazism still seems to exist over there and the implementation of the payment/membership system seems to be nothing more than money grab for the site owner. So does anyone play this game and have a supporter membership? are you able to download files, if so at what speed?

 

Is the Steam Skyrimworkshop anygood..? can I/we download files form there. How many of the nexus mods are available on SW

The Skyrim Steam workshop is absolutely incredible! I have never had any problems trying to find mods on there. Some of the visual enhancement mods they are are incredible as well. I honestly wouldn't even bother with Skyrim Nexus, I mean maybe they have an "exclusive" or something but there are always alternative means of finding those things

Steam workshop is 100x better than any third party program I've seen, NMM included. It's as easy as clicking a button, and it'll install and integrate perfectly with Skyrim. You can still turn them on and off through the Skyrim launcher, and they'll get updated when the creator releases a new version unless you tell it not to.

Oh and make sure you get this collection, it majorly boosts the visuals up
