"Instead of permanently removing a file, mod authors can now choose to archive it which will move it into a file archive and make it impossible to download directly unless specifically requested e.g. "Recognising these problems, we made the difficult decision to change how file deletions work. ".No matter how much care and effort has been put into curating a collection of dozens or hundreds of mods, as soon as one or several files in that collection are deleted by a mod author - for whatever reason - the collection is essentially and immediately 'dead in the water' until the curator can replace or remove the particular file," Nexus Mods explained.
The Nexus Mods team realised that in order to implement the collections system, it would need to prevent authors from being able to delete files, as one deletion could potentially bring down an entire collection. Nexus Mods plans for this feature to be available for all users, although premium users will essentially have "one-click installation" while free users will have to "click and open the download page for every mod in a collection they want to download manually." This list or "collection" could then be added to Vortex, allowing the mod manager to automatically retrieve, download and install the mods on the list.
Instead of requiring users to individually manage load orders and resolve file conflicts between mods, someone could "build a mod list/mod setup locally on their machine, then export a meta file with all the information about the mods/files/conflict resolution etc. The new collections system is a feature Nexus Mods has been working on for some time, and is intended to make mod installation easier for the average user.
