ive had more than a few mods from nexus contain "stowaways" that really messed up my system files

I would recommend browsing nexus discussions, as there are some authors that prefer to keep their work off-site and do not permit it being uploaded to nexus, and so these kinds of topics do occasionally crop up and you can glean insight into some off-site options.

That said, nexus remains the centralized hub for modding at this time and you are most likely to find mods that accommodate what you are seeking on the site. In time I suspect Baldur's Gate 3 will be afforded a Steam workshop where mods may also be accessible.

i am hoping that bg3 will end up like kerbal space program and have its own mod site (curseforge)

The reception was fairly large and positive, and already there is a sizable collection of mods available for this game. Already has the game become the 18th most downloaded for game via nexus, and I would not doubt it sailing into 16th place before long, overtaking the standing of Dragon Age.

It is possible that there is enough community support present at this time that would justify an off-shoot site coming into existence. I would not bet on it personally, but it is a possibility.

What makes you think anyone else is going to better than Nexus?

Most of these mods are binaries and won't be able to be analysed effectively.

dude why are you here? i was asking if there were other sites,

I’d also like to know a few alternatives, if you end up finding any. Nexus is compromised and doesn’t allow for freedom of expression anymore.

Ignore Ironwu for your own sanity. He thinks mods are out to destroy our computers, spy on us, and end the world.

he shouldnt be able to reply anymore on my post

The problem is that... there aren't. Either you join a boatload of private Discord Servers to get mods from the authors, or you're stuck. Once upon a time, Nexus was tiny, and mostly for Bethesda games, but now, it's the mod central for basically everything, with very few exceptions (which tend to be on the Steam Workshop).

lets just use Curseforge.
its got its own mod manager, ive never had a problem with mods from there

They will probably add workshop support eventually, but if you think Nexus is restrictive of what kinds of mods are allowed you ain't seen nothing yet :P

Actually https://github.com/ is where most of us who make mods live.

Sites like Nexus are nothing but gallery sites that post peoples work. Mainly to make money off those who visit the site via advertisements or membership.
