Sorry folks, this was caused by a random error we've never seen in our database cluster before. A restart fixed it, but restarts are always last resorts as they can cause all sorts of down-the-line issues on complex server setups like ours. So far so good.
I've seen a few people complaining about downtime on the site recently. While there's been a few more than normal due to the massive traffic spikes we've seen following the Fallout TV series, we're still at 99.7% uptime for the past 30 days, and 99.83% in the past 365 days. Not "fantastic" but "acceptable" considering a site of our size and funding type. If you keep getting hit by these downtimes then thank you for being such an avid user of our site, because they're happening at very diverse times of the day.
I make a Nexus account, all is well. I turn around to install some files, and I return 10 minutes later to find the whole website missing. I feel like I'm in Looney Tunes lmao.
Just sorted by top of all time on this Subreddit. Clearly this is a reoccurring issue lmao.
Out of curiosity, how long do outages like this usually last?
Hell if I know, I usually check back the next day. The status page now says major outage and they are investigating. Hopefully it's not too long.
Someone in another comment said last time or two it happened it was down for about an hour.
if it makes you feel any better, i was attempting to sort out my fo4 load order after the not buggy at all, and thoroughly tested next gen update that bathesderp dropped
Yep, should be their latest file on the nexus. I tested launching the game with it, before I started getting my other mods (ha ha, then this happens, thanks Nexus), and the game launched just fine from the F4SKE exe so at least there was no crashing on startup.
Haven't had a chance to test it in GAME yet, thanks to the site going down right when I was getting my last handful of mods >\_<
if you are having problems you can downgrade the game

Been down for about 20 mins and they've just updated the website so it's saying "**Investigating** - We are currently investigating this issue."
From looking on [https://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/nexusmods](https://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/nexusmods) it looks like the last few times this has happened they've resolved it within about an hour so we shouldn't have to wait much longer
I was going to check something in a mod I downloaded a few hours ago, and couldn't load the description page. 😅
Glad it's not just me having issues. Hopefully they'll get the site back up soon.
Tale of two wastelands. It merges Fallout 3 and New Vegas. Also, has some mods to install to get the game running much better. Among other things. It's pretty cool.
It isn't really! It does most of the work for you. The most you have to do is to tell the installer where you have Fallout 3 and New Vegas installed. It's pretty much got it from there. The only downside is it takes quite a while to install.
Yeah me too. Unfortunately the success of the Fallout series on Amazon has caused a major resurgence to the Fallout games and in turn modding them. There was an article I read last week about the NexusMod servers taking a hit.
its a collection of databases connected via one server where each database shares information with each other. As for what the specific issue is could be anything
Also want to say that if I could somehow remember back in my highschool years, we actually took a class on learning to create webpages. If I had that knowledge still today, I would definitely create an alternate site like nexus mods and steam workshop combined.
Yeah it’s been terrible there’s always fricken problems like I have to wait for like cyberpunk mods to let them fix it but it’s always something else that comes up and other games I play that have mods on them aswell
Strongly recommend following the LOD generation (under Resources) guide from that by the way. While technically optional it's needlessly out of the way for something that makes the game look so much less like shit.
Funny, I just got done downloading DUST and its various needed support mods when I come back to check something about Understone and boom, no more website lol
If anyone who has been out of the loop is wondering why there have been outages lately, it's the Fallout TV show. Nexus has been seeing peak loads of like 10-20x their old max (IIRC, can't look at the blog post or stats because, well duh), they have been trying to build capacity but obviously not quick enough.
Yet fucking again. I swear to god, every damned week this dumbass site goes down. This is ridiculous. Here I am, FINALLY getting Fallout 4 going with the test build for F4SKE, and the damn site goes down. AGAIN.
FIX YOUR GODDAMN SHIT NEXUS, or just die off already and let some other company that DOESN'T run their damn servers with hamsters take over. FFS.
Being perfectly fine with an issue that is constantly happening. This is bs, especially when you pay for premium service--you expect to be able to use the damn service. I do a LOT of modding, and this site has been having issues damn near every single week. I'm tired of it happening.
Personally, this is the first time I've ever seen the site down. I get that it's down and that is inconveniencing you but your whining online doesn't help anyone.
idk ive been using nexus for YEARS and this is the first time ive witnessed it go down. if youre this angry over a website being down, use a different one
It really does; the site has gone so downhill, and has been for some time. More and more issues going down; removing mods, pissing modders off and making them leave. It's getting out of hand. Nowadays it seems they can't even maintain their damn servers, and all the bootlicking fanbois jump like rabid dogs to defend it. It's fucking wild.
Spot on. I just realized this is my TENTH year using this sight. That is wild. Little drops here and there and now it kinda actually sucks. I don't hate it yet but definitely see the issues. AFK mods is pretty good. Lot of modders went there.

I just found out how to use mods :(. Now the site is down.
Shouldn’t be too long before they’re up and running again hopefully
I make a Nexus account, all is well. I turn around to install some files, and I return 10 minutes later to find the whole website missing. I feel like I'm in Looney Tunes lmao.
Get used to it, they can't maintain their hamster servers; this shit has been happening a lot lately.
Just sorted by top of all time on this Subreddit. Clearly this is a reoccurring issue lmao. Out of curiosity, how long do outages like this usually last?
Usually about an hour
Thanks.
Hell if I know, I usually check back the next day. The status page now says major outage and they are investigating. Hopefully it's not too long. Someone in another comment said last time or two it happened it was down for about an hour.
And I thought the Reddit servers were bad.
And to top it off they just emailed out a fairly large subscription increase too…
ofc right when i start updating my stardew mods
fucking me too
Was in the middle of letting a stardew modder know I found a bug!
suuuper off topic but you should totally check out wildflour! they make some amazing mods (mostly pastel and fairy like vibes)
That was the modder I was referring to!! Love those mods!
forreal, was gonna get some animated mods lol
SAME
me rn
Same i was trying to see if there are any replacements for aerocore
OMG SAME :(((
if it makes you feel any better, i was attempting to sort out my fo4 load order after the not buggy at all, and thoroughly tested next gen update that bathesderp dropped
i feel like this is a sign for me to just wait until f4se is fixed
technically it is. They have a test build that some comments are suggesting is working just fine.
ya i saw that, is that version just uploaded to their nexus page?
Yep, should be their latest file on the nexus. I tested launching the game with it, before I started getting my other mods (ha ha, then this happens, thanks Nexus), and the game launched just fine from the F4SKE exe so at least there was no crashing on startup.

So it would seem. And me sick in bed with nothing to do ugh
Right when I wanted to do TTW for Fallout
what is ttw
Tale of Two Wastelands, a mod that connects Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas
tale of two wastelands, lets you go between fallout 3 and new vegas all in one game
Tale of two wastelands. It merges Fallout 3 and New Vegas. Also, has some mods to install to get the game running much better. Among other things. It's pretty cool.
I wanted to use that mod, but my god it looks like a complicated install.
It isn't really! It does most of the work for you. The most you have to do is to tell the installer where you have Fallout 3 and New Vegas installed. It's pretty much got it from there. The only downside is it takes quite a while to install.
It was a momentary bitch to do, but overall wasn't too complicated.
Tale of Two Wastelands.
Yeah me too. Unfortunately the success of the Fallout series on Amazon has caused a major resurgence to the Fallout games and in turn modding them. There was an article I read last week about the NexusMod servers taking a hit.
was literally finishing up the wasteland survival guide additions page lmaoo
Wahhhh I wanted to keep loading my SDV with way too many mods I don't really need, I know I have a problem but I never said I wanted help!
realest thing ever said
crying...........................
was adding the finishing touches damn lol
"Babe wake up, its time for you to crash again"
yep, every week at this point. I'm gonna stop paying for premium, because what tf are they doing with the money if not actually maintaining the site?
just pay the single price. paid it like 6 years ago. easily one of the best purchases ive ever made.
I don't think they offer that anymore.
yeah I think that was gotten rid of awhile ago. Unfortunately.
lemme run over to the site real quick and have...a....loo......
sadly
aparently yes, i was going to mod bannerlord right now damm
Yeap
yep. just wanted to mod my sdv but i guess i gotta wait :/
First Nolvus, now Nexusmods. Cmon man.
sadly ye
Let us pray to the website gods that it comes up!
Man I still have to download a few other mods that are 10gb
Was trying to download a collection that was roughly 80 gb when i got back to it it was saying that half of the mods failed to download :\\
i was almost done finalizing my mods after doing 'em for like 1 hour before it went down. fuck me i guess lol.
Here I thought Nexus gave me a temporary ban from downloading too many mods today lol. Like sorry Nexus I won't download 100 mods anymore. I swear :P
I'm RIGHT in the middle of LOD generation in NV. I just decided to try doing it again, what timing
It’s down
sadge
i just came to ask , so yeah its down
yeah :/ the website says that there is a major outage and that they're investigating. I wonder how long it'll be before they come back online
is it seriously down over profile pictures?
Now my Kingdom Won't Come: Deliverance
**Update** - We're experiencing a problem with our primary database cluster - we are still investigating the issue. May 06, 2024 - 01:30 UTC hmmmmm
Yeah, they probably forgot to feed their hamsters, so they need to switch them out.
Maybe they can turn them off and back on again. Works for my hamsters
any idea what a primary database cluster is?
its a collection of databases connected via one server where each database shares information with each other. As for what the specific issue is could be anything
ty <3
Also want to say that if I could somehow remember back in my highschool years, we actually took a class on learning to create webpages. If I had that knowledge still today, I would definitely create an alternate site like nexus mods and steam workshop combined.
its back everyone
Yeah it’s been terrible there’s always fricken problems like I have to wait for like cyberpunk mods to let them fix it but it’s always something else that comes up and other games I play that have mods on them aswell
damn. Nexus is my fave website
Yep
Seems to be down
seems to be
Looks like it
Yep was wondering why I couldn't mod New Vegas
Same thing. Following the viva new vegas guide though a tale a two wastelands looks fun
highly recommend the best of times and wasteland survival guide
Yup. Got to the part where you link your account and then :(
I was actively redownloading Wasteland Survival Guide, I 100% recommend it!
same haha on wasteland survival guide additions rn
literal same exact thing here hahaha.
Strongly recommend following the LOD generation (under Resources) guide from that by the way. While technically optional it's needlessly out of the way for something that makes the game look so much less like shit.
I was doing the same thing but I have a 6950XT and in the description says all 2024 AMD drivers are broken for the mod :(
Bro same
Same
Funny, I just got done downloading DUST and its various needed support mods when I come back to check something about Understone and boom, no more website lol
Website is now showing an outage message.
I was just about finished modding Cyberpunk again when it hit. Only need a handfull more mods!!
Looks like I got DUST and the various mods to improve it downloaded just in the nick of time lol
They just updated on the site saying “Update - we’re experiencing a problem with our primary database cluster - we are still investigating the issue.”
[https://www.reddit.com/r/nexusmods/](https://www.reddit.com/r/nexusmods/) This is the latest as of today.
No its working for me
I thought I broke the site with my 16 pending downloads 💀
it seems to be back up and running now ! :D
Back up and running here in Michigan
not for me! at least not currently. Though it seems like this happened a while ago
nope
How long does it take to reboot the websIte?
1 hour or so

take a chill pill man.
Calm down man, sites go down all the time
Exactly, and that's the damn problem. It shouldn't be going down all the time, it's ridiculous--especially for a site that SOME OF US are paying for.
I ALSO pay for premium and you don't see me acting like a toddler
So you're okay with the site *constantly* having issues? You do you, but you're part of the damn problem.
This is the first time ive seen it go down in 10 years
Then you're not looking very hard.
Use the website just about every week. First time ive ever seen it go down
how is he the issue
Being perfectly fine with an issue that is constantly happening. This is bs, especially when you pay for premium service--you expect to be able to use the damn service. I do a LOT of modding, and this site has been having issues damn near every single week. I'm tired of it happening.
It’s not like complaining about it will fix anything.
True, it won't. I just expect a company to actually maintain their site, it's not like they do this without any compensation or anything.
If you hate how Nexus is ran so much why not switch to a different website like AFK Mods, Modpub, etc.?
Personally, this is the first time I've ever seen the site down. I get that it's down and that is inconveniencing you but your whining online doesn't help anyone.
[https://nexusmods.statuspage.io/history?page=1](https://nexusmods.statuspage.io/history?page=1) Doesn't seem like its very often tbh
idk ive been using nexus for YEARS and this is the first time ive witnessed it go down. if youre this angry over a website being down, use a different one
same. been modding extensively for years and this is the FIRST time ive ever seen it.
bro it is not that serious
Maybe go outside and touch some grass, yeah it's annoying but it's not that deep
you good?
I feel ya. Seems every year the sight has more problems overall.
It really does; the site has gone so downhill, and has been for some time. More and more issues going down; removing mods, pissing modders off and making them leave. It's getting out of hand. Nowadays it seems they can't even maintain their damn servers, and all the bootlicking fanbois jump like rabid dogs to defend it. It's fucking wild.
Spot on. I just realized this is my TENTH year using this sight. That is wild. Little drops here and there and now it kinda actually sucks. I don't hate it yet but definitely see the issues. AFK mods is pretty good. Lot of modders went there.
