Really shitty tbh. I can see where they're coming from but a $70/year subscription replacing a one-time payment of $50 is ridiculous.

You can still make a free account, right? I don't want to need to pay for the once every 2 years I decide to try and add some mods to Stardew Valley or some ****.

Is this like Creation Club, cept for Nexus? Sucks.
No

it's the same system they've had for a long long time now, where free accounts can download as much as they want, just capped speeds and limited servers

Yeah, you've got like 2 weeks

it's worth it if you download a lot of mods

Anyone who has bought or received Lifetime Premium Membership before we change over to the new system on August 3rd will continue to have that membership after we change over - that is, all Lifetime Premium Memberships bought before we release the new system on August 3rd 2021 will of course be honoured after this change. Thus, please take this as due notice that you only have a couple more weeks in which to purchase and take advantage of Lifetime Premium Membership from Nexus Mods before it is removed as an option for good.

Who cares. You spend one evening downloading all the Skyrim mods and then never think about the site again.

Yes

If they are making this change their are 2 possibilities

The website won't be around much longer and they're massively struggling financially and looking to get some impulse buys before it's gone.

The owners are going to cash out to a conglomerate who will destroy it.

Why would people buy that, do you get access to more mods or just faster download speeds ?

Faster download speeds basically. If you're a free member, it caps you at 2 MB/s. Premium members get their full download speed.

ive never had an issue with the free account. I was downloading 2+ gig-sized mods and it was only taking 3-15 minutes depending on the size.

That price is way to high. If they are struggling to make money on a 50 dollar one time offer, upping it to 70 a year isn't going to attract any more payers.

Just so people understand things, hosting mods like the nexus does isn't cheap. It's likely the ads aren't coving the costs anymore, and there are fewer and fewer people buying a lifetime membership.

Sometimes the simple answer is all you need guys, no need to go hunting for a boogyman that's probably not there.

So TC is somewhat inaccurate. The current lifetime membership is 50 pounds, which is about $70. They are getting rid of that and increasing the 12 month subscription to 50 pounds.
