Reminder that ModDB still exists, and works.

EDIT:

Seeing as this is fairly decently upvoted now:

https://www.moddb.com/

and also, I found this

https://github.com/loicreynier/awesome-modding

absolutely gigantic compendium of tons of mods, websites that have tons of mods for various games that are not nexusmods.

Sorry, I probably should have included that.

I've been modding games and making mods for games since before Nexus or SteamWorkshop or anything even existed... I guess people just genuinely have never even heard of moddb these days, like how gamefaqs is an 'ancient relic' or w/e.

Up until now I thought moddb was all that existed.

you belong in a museum!

Wait, that site isn't that old right? I used to use it for the battle of middle-earth mods.

Maybe I belong in a museum...

I also just found this:

https://github.com/loicreynier/awesome-modding

basically just a huge compendium of everywhere all kinds of mods for anything are hosted, that'll give you an idea of how the game modding scene is actually rather dispersed, not only monopolized by nexusmods.

not sure if its in this huge list but:

fpsbanana

is another one i am quite familiar with, been going strong with mostly source mods... possibly since the late 90s, at the least the early 2000's.

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.
