God damn was that the dumbest drama in the history of internet drama. The Nexus was trying to do something VERY good for end users, and mildly inconvenient for some mod authors with control issues. Thankfully, very little of value was lost.
(Yes, I'm still a bit salty about being forced to the VASTLY inferior Thunderstore for 1% of my modding needs.)
What was it?
The Nexus added "collections" - essentially mod lists directly from them - and to prevent said lists from breaking all the time, as different mods are updated at different rates, they made it so older versions of a mod couldn't be just removed by the mod author so that a collection that uses that version could still get it.
Lol that's it? That's hardly inconvenient at all, just gotta make sure you don't publish broken shit I guess
Their argument (from my recollection) mostly revolved around their lack of control, they were upset that they could no longer delete all their content off nexusmods.
The sad reality is the reason it was brought forward was due to how frequently mod authors would throw hissy fits and delete their mods.
Wabbajack (precursor to collections and I'd wager still superior for Beth games) mod lists frequently ran into this issue. In many cases it equated to many many hours of work to fix, assuming it wasn't an essential mod.
Wabbajack truly is amazing! I doubt I ever would have taken the time to install Tale of Two Wastelands manually!
Thunderstore is actually excellent for its ease of use, making a mod list to share with a friend is as easy as export profile code.
Where it absolutely fails is any kind of conflict resolution, vortex has it but mod organizer imo is way easier to use (and consistently works) in that regard.
Not to argue on the drama, it was stupid and I fully side with nexus on their reasoning.
The Thunderstore's biggest failing, in my opinion, is the lack of forums/comments. 9 times out of 10, the solution to a random modding issue can be found in some old comment. This is also why I HATE the recent shift to every modder having a personal Discord. Essentially unsearchable chaos.
Fair enough, it is annoying having to go to each individual discord to find answers.
