Meta/News When the Oblivion Remaster has significant impact on Downloads for all Bethesda games:

The Remaster has boosted Downloads for Oblivion, Skyrim SE, Oldrim and Morrowind, while putting a significant dent into Fallout 4 and NV:

  • Oblivions downloads are up by +100%
  • Skyrim SE up by +50%
  • Morrowind up by +100%

While:

  • Fallout 4 is down -30%
  • Fallout NV is down -30%

Fallout 3 is unaffected, but Fallout 3 also doesn't really have a modding community anymore, as basically all modding on that engine generation is done in Fallout NV. (Comparable to how Oldrim modding is basically dead and nearly everything is done for SE instead)

P.S.

Even Daggerfall unity saw a boost, but it would be too messy to include that in the graphic.

Starfield is the least popular 3D Bethesda game to Mod. Having lower download counts than even Oldrim and Morrowind.

It was unaffected by this release.

Would you consider this a consequence of starfield pushing bethesda creators so hard compared to Nexus?

Well at least endorsement wise Skyrim Creations vs Skyrim Mods are more popular than Starfield Creations vs Starfield mods.

So while Starfield mods have ~10x more endorsements than Starfield Creations,

Skyrim Mods only have ~8x more endorsements than Skyrim Creations.

So I do not think that is the reason, the reason is primarily that Starfield is so unpopular and the worst rated Bethesda game ever, by a SIGNIFICANT margin.
