PC game Mod Hub Nexus Mods is the first time in 24 years to receive new ownership because his mental health is for his mental health, creator Robin “Dark0ne” Scott is off the baton.
Figunead, one of the largest gaming sites on the Internet, publishes information about its next chapter A message Published today. It can be confirmed that Scott has officially left the Nexus mod, “after months of meetings, face-to-face talks and a lot of soul searches.”
The news made many behind-the-scenes details wrap around, but said two newcomers – one named Victor (aka) gall) and another named Marinus (also known as Lapark) – Already played a leadership role, both of their profiles now carry the title of “site owner”. The change in leadership marks the beginning of a new era for the Nexus Mod, and the much-needed break for Scott.
“The stress of taking charge of the behemoth I created has caused a huge loss,” Scott explained. “The stress of this work has always been a regular source of anxiety and stress-related health problems. I realized I was burning all the time and that started to have an impact on my employees and the organization as a whole. So, I firmly believe that the best thing about the future of Nexus Mods is to let me abandon and bring new leaders and bring new leaders to make Mods Mods nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexu
This is a small project in Scott's bedroom, for the Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind that eventually radiates into the game space.

As Nexus Mods grows, it has also had an impact on Scott, who has spent more than 20 years of “every day” in “call”. Losing direct input in the daily operation of Nexus Mod will certainly lead to some changes, but Scott guarantees that neither Modders nor Gamers should be attracted by people.
“Behind the scenes, I've been backing a little bit,” Scott clarified. “The team has taken on more weight over the past few years and the site has done better than ever. The change now is just in its form, ensuring that the right people can guide the Nexus mod to the next era.”
Scott said his resignation from Nexus Mods and some minor structural changes were intended to ensure “long-term stability” action and would not affect how the site was recently operated. He even said: “Nexus Mods are a community-first and Mod-author focus, not for negotiation.”
When Scott stays away from his direct leadership position, the Mod Creator says he will still interact with the Nexus Mods community on its Mod Author Discord, Forums, etc. As the page turns, he will also help guide the site's 40-person team, thereby reducing his duties on his face and figurehead.
“Yes, ownership of Nexus Mods has changed hands, but I figured it out that it's not a “quit” or a down-and-down deal,” Scott added. “This is something I might have to do a few years ago: take care of myself. Take back some headspace. Finally, let go of everything I have to do and take responsibility for myself.”
Nexus Mods has thousands of fan-made works such as Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Stardew Valley, Baldur's Gate, Cyberpunk 2077, and more games over the decades. In fact, after the Elder Scrolls IV: The Shadows Forgotten Earlier this year, Dozens of minor mods have been posted on the website.
