About the data
We pull up to the 400 most-downloaded mods per game from the public Nexus Mods API (v2 GraphQL) and refresh the list weekly, so ranks and numbers shift over time. We leave out adult content, cheats for online play, piracy tools such as cracks and DLC unlockers, and injectors.
Mod names and summaries belong to their authors. We list each mod and link to its official page, and all downloads happen on Nexus Mods.
