PhineasColby Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 My worst fears are coming true. Many decent Mods are only available on Steam. Is there a system or a site to download them anyway. Obviously if this thread is too explicit, close it.
ltgun Posted February 11, 2012 Posted February 11, 2012 Ah there is other one hmmm..nexus..hmm But not all the decent mods are only in steam.
Daguy Posted February 11, 2012 Posted February 11, 2012 I know what he means. I'd like to be able to 'back up' the Spacecore mod, but afaik it is only on the workshop and auto downloads.
oblivionwithdongs Posted February 11, 2012 Posted February 11, 2012 I'd like to know this too, i don't use steam and there's no way in hell i'm installing it just to get some mods. Also the workshop has an awful layout, no FOTM/top 100, no adult/non-adult split. Guess i've been taking the nexus for granted, also like 90% of the mods on the workshop are not on the nexus.
-lotus Posted February 11, 2012 Posted February 11, 2012 I dont use steam also... Must have a way to download them
Surenas Posted February 11, 2012 Posted February 11, 2012 There's always one last little detail. As long as there is no free server hosting pure steam mods there is no chance whatsoever.
Guest Donkey Posted February 11, 2012 Posted February 11, 2012 To make matter worst, if the one placed in his credits not to upload it anywhere else then workshop you guys will miss allot when not using steam. Looks like some modders still uploads there stuff on nexus. but others refuce to give rights to upload anywhere else. This will be a problems for some mods.
Riceball Posted February 11, 2012 Posted February 11, 2012 Good thing Hentai(modder) refuses to use steamworkshop! I like the workshop but there is simply nothing wrong with whats already been established for the past years, why make another way of downloading these mods anyway?
Surenas Posted February 11, 2012 Posted February 11, 2012 ...why make another way of downloading these mods anyway? To take control
mundaneunspeakable Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 Sigh, I already had enough mod sites to check daily, I'm never going to catch up with this many sites... And I don't like the automation, it's good for end user and consumer situations but as a DIYer I don't want my Skyrim folder touched without any warning. I'm beyond automatic coffee machines and want to control what happens.
strelitzia Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 Have to say, don't really like that steam/valve is probably making money off people's mods indirectly.
Surenas Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 Once the people are happily selling their mod stuff for peanuts or glass beads they'll make the bucks, yup. Some call it treasure, others call it junk...
DocClox Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 I had a quick browse today, based on this thread. I have to say, I didn't find anything there to particularly rock my world. The interface is a little awkward, and the mods that caught my eye were all ones I'd already seen on Nexus. Unless there's anything earth shattering that appears only on Steam, I think I'm going to stick to Nexus. For all its flaws, it's still an excellent database and search site.
oblivionwithdongs Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 Yeah i like to install mods manually, no mod manager and no steam shit, i particularly don't like how they auto-update, that's one of the worst features of steam anyway (thanks for making it so no one who has steam can play amk1.4 for stalker valve you bastards) and with mods it has the potential to completely break your game.

[/quote'] Well, it has already begun. Two of the interesting mods reviewed by MMOxReview in on YouTube are reuploads by request from Steam to the Nexus...Apparently the steam modders are still afraid of their own courage, their own Nexus past and are thus easily persuaded to offer a reupload. That won't last, folks.
glosjttx Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 if u login to steam, subscribe to a few mods.then close steam, use the skyrim launcher, it will download the mods. they will all packaged in one bsa file per mod. close skyrim launcher after update, open nmm or w/e mod manager u use, and they are there in the load mod order. close that and go to explorer, and look in skyrim/data and find the individual plugin bsa containing the whole kit and caboodle in one lump plugin. if you like, you can extract the bsa into the whole tex/mesh and whatever esp or esm is there. except for the little more work involved in opening bsa to actually view said textures or whatever game elements,i dont think it should really pose any problems to share .bsa files at least in my limited experience. but so far, every mod i subscribed to on steam, showed up later somewhere else (or there is already a variant on the Xsus or here on wonderful LL. Did i mention how much i love this place? *edit to resemble coherent thought.
glosjttx Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 im using skidrow so Steam will not work for me' date=' anyway i can download cool stuff from steam? i also don't like steam its only a game manager, not a mod manager i prefer Nexus Mod Manager. [/quote'] I would strongly advise you to never mention that you are using pirated software. Ban hammers are swift, and give no notice.
