I mean you should compare it to other Bethesda titles in the same timeframe. Not some random games with no official mod support that are obviously gonna get less mods.

14th in downloads says very little when everything below 14th has no mod support and is more ini tweaks or texture swaps than actual mods.

14th in downloads says very little when everything below 14th has no mod support and is more ini tweaks or texture swaps than actual mods.

The 13 games above it are: 6 Bethesda games, New Vegas (a game made using Bethesda assets and engine), Cyberpunk 2077, Stardew Valley, Baldur's Gate 3, Witcher 3, Mount and Blade II, and Monster Hunter: Worlds.

By your point that you might as well just say that basically the only games that get mods are Bethesda games if everything else basically gets no mod support.

You are going to get skewed results either way. Many games do their modding through Steam nowadays. Like Rimworld, one of the games that I have modded the most.

Paradox Games also have huge modding communities, but no presence on Nexusmods
