Nexus Mods was founded by Robin Scott and a friend in August 2001 as a fan site for the Bethesda Softworks game The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind under the name of Morrowind Chronicles. The website's hosting and publication of various mods has been covered in the gaming and computer press. Recently, the Nexus Mods site expanded to serve as a host for mod files for any modifiable PC game. The Nexus Mods network supported 1445 games as of October 2021, with a single forum and a wiki for site and mod-related topics. Founded in 2001 as a fan site, Nexus Mods was modified into the website TESSsource in 2007. It is one of the largest gaming modification websites on the web, and, as of February 2021, had twenty-five million registered members. It acts as a source for the distribution of original content.
