Good to see it not being hosted on Nexus. I hope to see more mods follow suit and have multiple places that host mods in general.

Why? Installing mods is so much easier and less annoying with the nexus launcher. It's the gold standard for Bethesda mod managers.

Edit: if I use other mods too, this means I will use gog to get it, then nexus to manage it.

I just don't like Nexus having basically a monopoly on mod hosting. I wish there were more mod hosting sites like Nexus, but not only Nexus.

Moddb was mentioned. Another good one is thunderstore. It all depends on the game though. Valheim (and several other units based games) is very active on both Nexus and thunderstore, stalker games tend to be moddb, &c. Nexus tends to be the main one for most games though.

I mostly like Nexus (paid member), but I share the concern about it being the only game in town for most games. Nexus is heaps better as a site than both moddb and thunderstore ime, but the lack of real alternatives is putting way too many eggs in the same basket.
