Why the fuck does NexusMods require an account to download mods?

[thisismyusername]

And why the fuck does Gmail and Hotmail require a phone number now instead of letting you create a bunch of throwaway e-mails to get around this?

[Coax]

Not keeping a few of those throwaways years ago

Google now asks older accounts for numbers but not Hotmail. Yandex though is a sneaky shit where they allow phoneless registrations but after a couple weeks claim it was 'hacked' and suddenly need your phone Read that mail.com don't require phone verification but never tried it.

I used Proton, which I feel bad about because that's not what they're supposed to be for.

Hotmail does. So does Yahoo. I'm like toward them requiring a phone number now. Did Trump change a law for the children or something?

who cares

[thisismyusername]

who cares

I do, since I needed a few mods to fix New Vegas, otherwise I wouldn't touch that shitty site.

Why the fuck is half of Beth's community on that shit? Just let me download the shit without needing to jump through fifty hoop.s

[MMaRsu]

Just get nexus mod.manager, log into ur account and start downloading those mods. The mod manager will let u activate and deactivate its all pretty handy

I modded the shit out of slyrim that way and it works pretty well

[thisismyusername]

You misunderstand: I normally don't mod. But I wanted the 4GB RAM fix for New Vegas (as apparently it increases performance/draw distances) and that's... NexusMods only.

[CatsCatsCats]

I agree NexusMods is obtuse and stupid

[Nintex]

You just need a burner account breh 

Nintex can hook you up 

[Mr Gilhaney]

Cause they want users. Makes sense.

Fuck their user numbers, man. ModDB lets me download without an account.

[Mr Gilhaney]

If you love ModDB so much, why dont you go use it.

This was a very recent change, requiring an account to download things. Like, last two months or so. I guess they didn't attract enough users over the years to pay their one-time donation offer of $2 to turn off ads, so now they're trying some RapidShare-esque Premium download tier (even if the files are in the single kilobytes ).

[CatsCatsCats]

Yeah, I don’t fuck with shit like that

though maybe you prefer cumallover.me

[thisismyusername]

I know some /soc/ 4chunners that use cock.li to send nudes.

Huh, there's more than "horsefucker.org" and "cock.li" there now. Some of which are very  for anyone that attempts to go there at work.

bugmenot.com?

I do agree though. I think it was either DA:O or FO:NV where I went looking for mods and found out Nexus mods has gone to total shit.

[thisismyusername]

bugmenot.com?

None of those work because sites wised up to that site.
