This is the only place I get mods. I've used Nexus for the last 5-6 years and as far as the website itself, it is very user-friendly. I had to learn to do load orders and fix clashing mods, but other than mistakes that were my fault, it is great. Just be sure to use the advice given and you should be good to go. I've seen quite a few negative reviews, but many of them seem to be on the user or someone who didn't like a specific mod. The basic account is enough to do what you need to do. The premium is more or less a convenience upgrade. The only annoying thing I can think of is when you download big mods(1GB or bigger) most of the time I have to monitor it and resume the download cause it will lose connection frequently. Not a huge issue, just annoying. USE THE MOD MANAGER! It will make everything 100 times easier for you, especially if you're a noob like I was. 90% of the time if a mod is not working, it's usually your fault. Not a big deal, just go through the steps and like me, you will figure it out. Some mods you have to manually install, but not many from my experience. Also, if you have the funds, I would suggest donating to the mod creators. These guys do some amazing upgrades to your games. This opens the world of gaming to a completely new level! Skyrim especially is so much better with mods. In my experience, Bethesda's mod setup was always glitchy and not worth dealing with.
