📋 About This Mod
Description
Nexus Mods Author Tools is an open-source Unreal Engine plugin that simplifies creating, packaging and publishing game mods to Nexus Mods. By integrating common mod authoring workflows directly into the Unreal Editor, it reduces setup complexity and lets creators focus on building content instead of configuring tooling.
The plugin currently supports the Unreal Engine versions 4. 26 → 5. 8. Support for additional engine versions may be added in future releases.
