Same, I think that is half the fun. Some have very flashy showcases of their mods and very detailed information how to change x and y and also give recommendations to other mods. Also the posts section is very active for most mods regardless of how old the mod is, I have seen many mods not updated since 2016-2018 with many comments from 2025. So it is easy to tell if the mod has any problems or if there are fixes and workarounds.

And I REALLY like that in nexus they show dependencies, so when I find a mod I like then I check what depends on it to find replacers, textures, fixes, patches or mods that use the mod as a base. It is very convenient and also the reason it takes forever to be done with the mod list haha

Don't forget the community and the comments. Nothing beats checking one mod you really really really want but it's 5 yrs old...and the comment from yesterday says "still works today if anyone is wondering". Yes! My hero 😁 I always vote and give kudos like free candies.
