Like many Bethesda games, modding is one of the big draws of games like Skyrim and Fallout 4 on the PC. Nexus Mod Manager is one of the best ways to install mods on your favorite games, and we’re here to show you how to use it. Nexus Mod Manager actually supports many other games, too, including The Witcher games, Dragon Age, Dark Souls, and other Fallout and Elder Scrolls games, so you should be able to adapt the instructions for any other game Nexus Mod Manager supports. We’ll use Fallout 4 in today’s example. How to Enable Modding in Fallout 4. Even though you’ll be using the Nexus Mod Manager, you’ll still have to perform a quick tweak to Fallout 4’s game files before it will accept the mods you install. (Other games, like Skyrim, won’t require this tweak, and you can skip to the next section). First, navigate to the Fallout 4 folder in your documents directory. You’ll find it under C:\Users\YOURNAME\Documents\My Games\Fallout4 . Double-click the Fallout4Prefs.ini file to open it in your default text editor. It’ll open in Windows Notepad unless you’ve installed another text editor like Notepad++. Scroll down to the very bottom of the text file and you’ll see a [Launcher] section. Add the following line below it: Click File>Save to save the file, and then close Notepad. Double-click the Fallout4Custom.ini file to open it in your default text editor. Add the following lines to the end of the file: Click File > Save to save the file, and then close Notepad. Fallout 4 will now accept and use the mods you install. How to Install and Configure Nexus Mod Manager. It’s possible to manually install mods for a lot of games, or use Steam’s built-in Workshop (for games that support it). However, we recommend using the Nexus Mod Manager tool to make this process easier and reduce the risk you’ll break something while installing a mod. Download Nexus Mod Manager and install it on your PC. If you don’t yet have a Nexus Mods account, you’ll be informed you need to register for a free account to download it. You’ll be asked to sign up for a paid supporter membership during the sign-up process, but you can just scroll down to the bottom of the page and click “Create Account” to continue. Launch Nexus Mod Manager after you install it and it will search your PC for games. If you have Fallout 4 installed, it will find it. Just click the checkmark to confirm Fallout 4 is installed at that location and then click “OK.” Select “Fallout 4” in the list of installed games and click “OK.” If you always want to use this program to manage Fallout 4 mods, click the “Don’t ask me next time” checkbox here. You’ll be informed that you need to set up the paths where Nexus Mod Manager will store mod-related files. Click “OK” to continue and you’ll see a Fallout 4 Setup screen. By default, Nexus Mod Manager will store these files under C:\Games\Nexus Mod Manager\Fallout4 . There’s a problem with these default folder settings. It won’t work unless you run Nexus Mod Manager as Administrator. If you run it normally, you’ll see an error informing you that Nexus Mod Manager is “unable to get write permissions for” the directory. To solve this, set the folder paths to something like C:\Users\YOURNAME\Documents\Nexus Mod Manager\Fallout4 . Alternatively, keep the default folders and run Nexus Mod Manager as an Administrator. To do so, right-click the Nexus Mod Manager shortcut and select “Run as administrator.” To always run it as Administrator, right-click the shortcut and select “Open file location.” Right-click the “Nexus Mod Manager” Shortcut, select “Properties, click the “Compatability” tab, and enable the “Run this program as an administrator” checkbox. Click “OK” to save your settings and Windows will always launch Nexus Mod Manager with Administrator permissions. How to Install Fallout 4 Mods. You’ll want to sign into Nexus Mod Manager with your Nexus account for easy mod installation. To do so, click the profile icon next to “You are not logged in” at the bottom-left corner of the Nexus Mod Manager window. Enter your Nexus Mods username and password here. You’ll then see a “Logged in” message here, informing you you’re logged in. You can now head to the Fallout 4 Mods category page to browse and search the available mods. If you’re logged in, you’ll see “[Name]’s account” at the top-right corner of each web page. If you’re not, click the “Log in” link at the top-right corner of the web page. Locate a mod you want to install and click the “Download (NMM)” button to download the mod with Nexus Mod Manager. Your browser will hand off to the Nexus Mod Manager application, which will download the mod you chose. The Download link at the top of each mod’s page will download the main, current version of the mod. However, some mods offer multiple versions, or additional files. To download multiple versions or optional files a mod offers, scroll down on its download page and click the “Files” tab. You’ll see the various files the mod offers, along with explanations from the mod author about what they do. Click “Download With Manager” to download the mod files you want. Once it’s downloaded and installed, locate the mod in the list, select it, and click the green checkmark button in the sidebar to enable it. You can click the red cancel button that appears in this location afterwards to disable a mod. Some mods will walk you through a setup process the first time you enable them. You’ll be able to choose different options, depending on the mod. Go through the setup process and select your desired options to enable the mod. To change these options later, right-click the mod in the Nexus Mod Manager list and select “Reinstall Mod.” You’ll see the same setup screens again. Now all you need to do is launch Fallout 4. You can do so using the “Launch Fallout4” button at the top-left corner of the screen or just launch it through Steam normally. Load your existing game or create a new one–either way, the mods you installed will immediately take effect. To disable or uninstall a mod later, close Fallout 4 and open Nexus Mod Manager. Right-click the mod you want to disable or uninstall and select “Deactivate” to disable the mod or “Uninstall and Delete” to remove the mod from your system. You can also click the settings icon at the top of the Nexus Mod Manager window and use the “Disable All Active Mods” or “Uninstall All Active Mods” options to quickly disable or uninstall all currently activate mods. How to Configure Your Mod Load Order (and Why It Matters) The above process should work perfectly if you’re only using one mod. However, if you plan to install several mods, you may need to think about your mod load order. This is exactly what it sounds like. Fallout 4 will load mods one by one, in the order you specify. If you have multiple mods installed, some of them may overwrite each other’s changes. For example, you may have one “total overhaul mod” that tweaks a large amount of things in the game, including all the weapons. Second, you may have a small mod that makes a single weapon function in a certain way. If the game loads the small mod before the larger mod, its tweaks will be overwritten by the total overhaul mod. To have the second mod function, the larger total overhaul mod needs to be loaded first. This only applies to mods that have plugins. If you install a mod with a plugin, it’ll appear on the “Plugins” tab, as well as the “Mods” tab. To control the load order, click over to the “Plugins” tab. Select a mod you’ve installed and click the up and down arrows in the left pane to adjust the load order. The “Masters” information for a plugin tells you when a mod depends on another mod. For example, in the screenshot below, “Homemaker – SK Integration Patch.esp” depends on Fallout4.esm, SettlementKeywords.esm, and Homemaker.esm. It must appear after all these other plugins in the list. Nexus Mod Manager won’t let you move it above those other plugins in your load order. It may take some trial and error to get the load order working the way you want it. Some mod authors may provide information about recommended load order on their mod’s download page.

Des del moment que van aparèixer els primers mods, les comunitats al voltant d'elles els han considerat com a contingut dels fans pels fans, i per tant, són gratuïts per voluntat dels creadors. Al llarg del temps, diverses empreses han volgut capitalitzar aquestes comunitats amb diferents estratègies. Algunes han succeït i d'altres han causat controvèrsies que han danyat la reputació de l'empresa.

Steam creates and exercises processes and techniques such as monopolization and enclosure over creative products, online labour, and exchange among game designers. Stuart Hall’s encoding/decoding framework places communication at the centre of the political economy, here of digital commodities distributed and produced by online platforms like Steam.

  • Studying the Distribution Platforms for Game Mods
    STUDYING THE DISTRIBUTION PLATFORMS FOR GAME MODS TO CREATE ACTIVE MODDING COMMUNITIES. by DANIEL LEE A thesis submitted to the School of Computing in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Science Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada September 2019 Copyright © Daniel Lee, 2019 Abstract AMER loyalty is important for the sales of a game. However, the gaming in- dustry and the needs of gamers are rapidly increasing, making it difficult G for game developers to address these needs. Game mods are modifications of an original game, which can help game developers save cost and time. Hence, it is crucial for game developers to build and maintain an active modding community. In this thesis, we study mods to provide insights to game and mod developers on building an active modding community. An active modding community consists of two dimensions: (1) continuous growth of mods from mod developers, and (2) contin- uous adoption of mods from gamers. We investigated these two dimensions respec- tively: To help game developers understand how to help mod developers continuously deliver high quality mods, we investigate the release schedule and post-release sup- port of highly endorsed mods from the top 20 games on the Nexus Mods distribution platform. We observe that supporting the same modding tool within a game franchise i is associated with faster release of mods. We also observe that bug reports (i.e., post- release support) of mods is poor in quality, making it difficult to address many of them. However, solved bug reports are often resolved within one day.

  • Exploring Player Roles and Role Affordance in Video Games1 In
    1 “Select the Type of Experience You Would Like to Have”: Exploring Player Roles and Role Affordance in Video Games1 In the conclusion to Play Between Worlds, T.L. Taylor tells game designers and critics, “[r]ather than simply being frustrated about players who do not play a game ‘right’ or who ‘mess up’ otherwise perfect systems . we need to take seriously the range of interventions that occur and why” they occur when players engage with video games (158-59). In other words, it would be a mistake to focus our attention on game systems and possibility spaces while ignoring or disparaging player agency. Even just within the genre of role-playing games (RPGs, referring in this essay only to the video game variety, though the genre sprang from and still thrives in other media), the wide variety of available experiences has spawned communities of players who fiercely advocate for their favorite games and playstyles.2 To date, analysis of these diverse game experiences has primarily focused on genres, player types, or possibility spaces, approaches that have all demonstrated their value to game criticism and design. In this essay, however, I argue that these approaches should be supplemented with an analysis of the roles players assume in relation to games (and to their communities and storyworlds). Analysis of player roles—and of the dynamics of role affordance involving designers as well as players—helps bridge the gap between existing analyses of player types and possibility spaces. Player types analysis has tended to focus on player identities

  • The Discourse of Digital Dispossession
    Article Games and Culture 2018, Vol. 13(7) 690-707 ª The Author(s) 2018 The Discourse of Article reuse guidelines: sagepub.com/journals-permissions DOI: 10.1177/1555412018756488 Digital Dispossession: journals.sagepub.com/home/gac Paid Modifications and Community Crisis on Steam Daniel James Joseph1 Abstract This article is a chronicle and analysis of a community crisis in digital space that took place on Valve Corporation’s digital distribution platform, Steam. When Valve and Bethesda (publisher and developer of Skyrim) decided to allow mods to be sold by mod makers themselves, there ensued a community revolt against the commodifi- cation of leisure and play. I put this crisis of play and work in dialogue with Harvey’s concept of “accumulation by dispossession,” firmly placing it within a longer history of disruptive capital accumulation strategies. I then conduct a discourse analysis of community members on reddit, as they make sense of and come to terms with this process of dispossession. Arising in the discourse was not class consciousness per se, but instead a pervasive feeling of helplessness and frustration as games, play, and leisure began to feel like work. Keywords digitallabor,play,Steam,platformstudies, digital distribution, game studies, discourse analysis 1 University of Toronto, Mississauga, Canada Corresponding Author: Daniel James Joseph, University of Toronto, 3359 Mississauga Rd., Mississauga, Canada L5L 1C6. Email: [email protected] Joseph 691 On April 23, 2015, the digital game developer and production company, Valve Corporation, announced through their digital distribution platform Steam the intro- duction of buying and selling of “mods, maps, and all kinds of items that you’ve created.” They continued, saying that “with a new, streamlined process for listing and selling your creations, the Steam Workshop now supports buying mods directly from the Workshop, to be immediately usable in game” (Valve Corporation, 2015).

  • How to Download and Change Mods Nexus Mods How to Download and Use Nexus Mods
    how to download and change mods nexus mods How to Download and Use Nexus Mods. Nexus Mods is a very popular resource for PC gamers looking to download and install mods to make changes to or enhance their experience in a game. The Elder Scrolls and Fallout series are popular modding candidates, and some mods can even help to improve some of the more lackluster elements. Needless to say, the process for using mods will differ from game to game. But for popular games like Elder Scrolls, Fallout, and Dragon Age, we recommend using the Nexus Mod Manager. Once you have the program installed and up and running, you can start to download mods for your respective games. Make sure to have your games installed first before doing so. You can either download the mod files manually by heading over to the Nexus Mods website, or you can download with the appropriate URL. The first method involves going over to the Nexus website, clicking on the Files section, and then choosing the specific mods and files you wish to download. You’ll need to choose a set folder for these mods to download onto your PC as well so that the Nexus Mod Manager can locate them easily. Once your mods are installed, click on them and select the option to activate them. Your mod will then be installed through the manager, and you should be able to access it the next time you boot the game. Not all games require the Nexus Mod Manager to work. For instance, the popular DSFix mod for Dark Souls can be downloaded manually from the Nexus Mods website and installed by dragging the relevant file into your Steam game folder.

  • Mod Money, Mod Problems: a Critique of Copyright Restrictions on Video Game Modifications and an Ve Aluation of Associated Monetization Regimes
    William & Mary Business Law Review Volume 11 (2019-2020) Issue 3 Article 6 April 2020 Mod Money, Mod Problems: A Critique of Copyright Restrictions on Video Game Modifications and an vE aluation of Associated Monetization Regimes Carl "Ott" Lindstrom Follow this and additional works at: https://scholarship.law.wm.edu/wmblr Part of the Intellectual Property Law Commons Repository Citation Carl "Ott" Lindstrom, Mod Money, Mod Problems: A Critique of Copyright Restrictions on Video Game Modifications and an vE aluation of Associated Monetization Regimes, 11 Wm. & Mary Bus. L. Rev. 811 (2020), https://scholarship.law.wm.edu/wmblr/vol11/iss3/6 Copyright c 2020 by the authors. This article is brought to you by the William & Mary Law School Scholarship Repository. https://scholarship.law.wm.edu/wmblr MOD MONEY, MOD PROBLEMS: A CRITIQUE OF COPYRIGHT RESTRICTIONS ON VIDEO GAME MODIFICATIONS AND AN EVALUATION OF ASSOCIATED MONETIZATION REGIMES CARL “OTT” LINDSTROM* ABSTRACT Video game modifications (mods) have had a tremendously positive impact on the game industry, both in terms of commercial success and evolution of the medium. But the present court doctrine, enabled by Micro Star v. Formgen and abetted by restrictive End User License Agreements, greatly underserves the mod community and undermines the principal tenet of copyright law: the funda- mental right to reap the benefits of what one has created. This Note examines and critiques the current doctrine and its ethical pitfalls. It also explores the pros and cons of current methods of mod mon- etization, including remakes, developer partnerships, and donation systems. Finally, it advocates for a more equitable and ethically sound paradigm of mod rights through a proposed open licensing standard modeled after the tabletop gaming industry.
