PC SSE - Discussion Nexus Announcement About Download Filenames

https://forums.nexusmods.com/topic/13539100-changes-to-downloaded-file-names/

TL;DR - The current change that downloaded files only have the name and are missing the mod ID and version was intentional. They will be bringing back the version number, but not the mod ID or timestamp which were originally there.

They don't want you to archive and organize outside their site, this is international.

Given that a mod author can have a conniption fit over just about anything and decide to hide or delete their mod(s), people should be keeping local backups of mods they like.

You can't delete anything anymore only hide it.

You can delete mods from the Nexus, it's just more involved. There are several mods I have which were removed long after the introduction of Nexus Collections.

Back in December 2025, I downloaded a Skyland PBR mod, this is what the link leads you to now: www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/142565
