Nexus Mods is a website that hosts computer game mods and other user-created content related to video game modding. It is one of the largest gaming mod sites on the web,[2] with 30 million registered members and 1733 supported games as of June 2022, with a single forum and a wiki for site- and mod-related topics.[3]

Founded in 2001 as Morrowind Chronicles, a The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind fan site,[1] it became Morrowind Source with the addition of hosting mods for Morrowind.[4] It continued to rebrand as it expanded to support more games, as TESSource, TESNexus, the Nexus, and finally Nexus Mods.[1][5][4]

The hosting and publication of particular mods by the site has been covered in the gaming and computer press.[6]
