I removed all my mods from Nexus long ago and if there was a Steam workshop I would probably post a few of them here.
But look at the discussion page here or on GOG. Obviously, no player is able to find it's way out of a paper bag. But do they only try to get help from the modder himself ? No. they post anywhere else, preferably where the modder will never read their message. Of course you can't expect anything from the staff at Nexus but it is not a reason to flood the general discussion on sites that only sell the game and don't even provide mods.
The general topics should be about the game, not about technical problems with mods downloaded elsewhere because the average player is unable to understand the simplest installation instruction or to read the manual.
If there was a workshop here, it would only worsen the problem.
Make an account, download the client and it's just as easy as using the workshop. What's the problem?
Better have the mods here, then.
I wonder if the same players go ask Microsoft when they have questions about Steam and rely on Apple or GNU to get informations about windows.
And yet we have people here making threads asking about things that are already answered in the pinned threads. Nice logic there.
1. Because development on this game ended before Skyrim came out and so there's no one to do the coding work to add Workshop.
2. Bethesda doesn't do Workshop anymore. They do Bethesda.Net and Creation Club. There will never be another Workshop for a Bethesda game, ever. You'll notice that not even FO4 got Workshop. SkyrimOG - not even the Remastered - is the only game from BGS that has Workshop and the only game that will ever have it.
So have them here, where people just 'click' and then have no idea why nothing in their game works anymore? Where mods auto-update in the middle of playthroughs - destroying them?
Workshop is fine for some games - its horrible for these.
Modding New Vegas was the only reason for me to get a Nexus account. :D
Now I've already wrote a few of my own mods and some translations, uploaded it there.
People download a lot of mods not really knowing what they do or how they work just because someone else they don't even know have published a list of "indispensable mods" some day, without reading the instructions, using an autoinstaller with a blind faith it will do things properly, and then come here because it doesn't work as they expected. Any moron without the slightiest knowledge of coding can publish a mod on Nexus, and a lot do. The actual nexus staff has more concrete concerns than quality. Yes, some players have a vague notion of the difference between an .esp and an .esm, overwrite and override, and of the importance of a load order and some are lucky enough to get things working more or less as they expected, but this discussion page is obviously full of not so lucky people.
In short you do here the support for pathetic mods published on Nexus and the result is you waste 3 hours to help someone who finally don't even understand or believe what you explain and will never follow your instructions because he imagines if the mod was on Nexus it must be of some quality and the modder knew what he did. And when the mods achieve to ruin his whole game he will pretend it's because of windows 10, Steam or an inexistent patch released by Bethesda. But he will never blame his own stupidity.
And the players never have the idea to ask anything on Nexus forums, they prefer to complain here, as if the modders will come here to provide a support they don't provide on Nexus itself.
Then ANY workshop here would be better because it could not be worse.
Exactly.
I neither don't know what I did, I simply did it.
Trial and error may grow some nice fruits:

but this discussion is pointless. There will not be a workshop here.
