Using Vortex (the Nexus Mods mod manager), a mod user could create a curated list of mods and then upload that list as a collection, including mod load order, patches and hotfixes used, conflict resolutions, and so on. 'The project our team is working on has the goal of making modding easier so the average user can spend less time worrying about mod conflicts, and more time playing a modded game,' reads a lengthy post on Nexus Mods. Nexus Mods has been working on a feature since 2019 called 'collections.' Collections will serve as curated lists of mods that any Nexus Mod user can create and share. There is a reason for it, though, even if not anyone agrees that it's a good one.

If that sounds like a strange policy decision to you, you're not alone, and some modders are angry about it.
