Did Oblivion Nexus always cost money?

Post » Mon Aug 19, 2013 4:44 am

I'm not sure if this is the right forum.

Anyway, I used to play Morrowind modded years ago and I finally got around to getting a PC version of Oblivion, specifically for mods. I found that most of the mods I want are on Oblivion Nexus and when I click to download one, like the Oblivion unoffical patch for example, it tells me that I have to log in. That's fine with me, but all the account types cost money. I could be wrong, but I don't remember either the New Vegas Nexus or the Morrowind Nexus costing any money when I used them years ago. Am I doing something wrong? Could someone help me out? :/

Thanks

Sorry again if this isn't the right forum. I wasn't sure if it was this or the community discussion forum.

No, your account is totally free with the option of premium payments to get rid of ads, faster downloads, etc. And your Nexus account will be universal across all game sites.

I just logged out and logged back in to Nexus and I didn't see any mention of money. And neither when I download either. *shrug*

When you try to register and you're directed to Step 1, don't tick any package and just click Create Account. You'll be able to register normally then. It is a bit confusing, but in their defense, the second line at the top says "You do not have to purchase a package to complete registration.". Too bad the layout isn't very clear.

If you have an existing Nexus account for any other game, you should be able to access Oblivion Nexus with that, as long as you remember your username. You'll have to request a password reset if you've forgotten that.

Yeah I saw that but then as I was scrolling down I just didn't see an option to move on. Thanks for your help!

Unfortunately I don't remember my account name :/
