Anywhere other than Nexusmods to get mods for this game?

I hate that site so much.

Nope. Suck it up, buttercup.

The only reason I've seen is that they don't like how Nexus takes down racist, sexist, or homophobic mods and that makes them mad, for whatever reason.

Yeah definitely this, and not the whole debacle that made a significant amount of mod creators leave Nexus because they A) removed the ability of mod creators to delete and private their own mods which made the news particularly around Fallout 4, and B) because Nexus doesn't only take down racist/sexist/homophobic mods, but that it will delete mods without telling the creators why even if they are not deleted from similar modhosts with similar rules. It cannot be appealed without knowing the reason, and often the reason tends to be nebulous down to the human moderator who deleted it which causes a lot of friction since the review process is opaque.

It's painfully obvious why they don't like Nexus.

I don't know the reasons for everyone else, but for my part it's decentralization. I hate to see mods for any game in one location with no clear plan for backup outside a walled garden that requires a login to access.

little baby boy can't handle mods from a page full of horrible people so he comes crying to the platform full of horrible people, grow up you're on the internet

So you dislike them for being the Steam of mods?

SteamCMD allows for easy backup/download of mods I enjoy without need for login, even if I don't own the game through steam but another platform such as GoG. The two are not comparable.

I apologize if I misinterpreted your post. I reread it again and I think you're partially correct. I dislike them for being more restrictive than Steam. I live somewhat off grid and prefer to have offline backups of my games so I can play them when I'm not near town at home. IRL Minecraft is much easier at the end of the day if you have a fun game that "just works" for people who don't live in a large (sub)urban area.

Nexus isn't the "Steam of Mods" by a long shot. That goes to the Thunderstore and it's partner app r2modman. That thing is SO easy to use and rather use that than Nexus.

We are already on steam, steam mods do not require a secondary login to add to your game that is on steam - but with nexus mods you need to login to steam AND to nexus mods and you need to deal with the ultra slow nexus mod loader

When you sub to a mod in the workshop, the files are downloaded to the proper file location. But that's pretty much the only difference. Nexus gives you the same files, you just have to put them there yourself unless you use the software - which I don't. You can just store the files so long as the game version doesn't change. But that is the same for workshop mods. I still have mods for Oblivion from Nexus that I downloaded years ago onto an external that still work. But my comparison is that you need to log in to access anything on Nexus and on Steam, even offline. And that steam has all its games in one place, that the publishers can actually just remove your access to at any point since you only own the license. Steam is actually really bad if you want to actually own your games.

Nexus has all its mods in one spot, browsable and categorized just like steam games and its workshop mods. It requires a login to access its data, just like steam - even in offline mode. Nobody owns anything, just like with steam where you only are granted a license to your games. Moderators can take down uploaded mods at will, just like steam. Just because Nexus doesn't have a one click install for most of its mods, doesn't make it similar in how it handles its access to data - which was his complaint with the walled garden comment.

Most things require a login to access its data these days. You can just manually install most of the mods on nexus, which is faster and easier than dealing with its software (in my opinion).
