Nexus Mods has announced that mod authors will soon be unable to delete mod files from the website, a change being made ahead of the introduction of its new collections system.
The news was announced via a blog post, where the company explained that the change was necessary for the implementation of its collections system. From now on, mod files will be archived instead of deleted, which will make them “inaccessible unless directly requested eg. via the API.”
“It is our core belief that making modding easier is a noble goal, so more people can enjoy our joint hobby,” Nexus Mods said. “We are convinced that our collections system, a project we have spent almost two years and many work-hours on, is the way to achieve this goal.”
