I want to try out Fallout New Vegas after having watched the TV show, and beforeiplay.com recommends I use a few QoL mods, in particular one for higher resolution screens (I’m playing on a 4K monitor).
So I lookup “fallout mtui”, end up on the mod’s page, hit download… and am greeted with a screen telling me I need to sign up for an account.
I obviously do not want to create an account on such a shady website, so I tried using a throwaway email… rejected (of course). I then said “fuck it” and tried registering with my real email address… also rejected. “E-mail address is not valid”. Well, it is, this is my primary e-mail address, has been for more than 10 years, and I’ve successfully used it to register on dozens of websites, including Amazon, eBay, various banks, Steam…
I found several Reddit posts about this issues, dating back to several years to a few months. Apparently, registration on Nexus Mods has been broken for very long, with no fix on the horizon.
So it seems it is impossible to download anything from there. Is there a mirror somewhere? Or are all these mods no longer possible to access?
Nexus mods isn’t shady, they inform user regarding data breach. They provide mods and have been serving mods ever since pre 2010 I believe (registered myself on that site back in 2014 ish).
Maybe slightly off-topic, I recommend to use Viva New Vegas guide as based on my testing the game is more stable and suitable base for modding up your New Vegas install, however also check out every mods you are going to install especially older mods pre-2018 (for me) as they sometime aren’t optimized which may makes unstable issue with the game. Hope you enjoy the New Vegas!
