Nexus Mods is removing one of its premium membership tiers in August - the Lifetime option.

Currently, you can subscribe for one month, six months, twelve, or permanently. The Lifetime plan costs £49.99 and gives you access to all the perks at no further cost. This means that you would have no ads on the site and uncapped mod download speeds forever. However, the option will no longer be available next month.

"To be frank, [our Premium Membership system is] old, archaic, held together by duct tape and glue," Nexus Mods stated in a blog, "[It] was never really intended to be used by a site as big as ours. It's so delicate - we have not been able to update our Premium Membership pricing since 2013 because doing so breaks many different elements of the billing and Premium membership system which we have no control over as the code is not ours.

"We began work back in June 2020 to completely strip out our Premium Membership billing system and replace it with our own solution. Our aim is to make the process far simpler for users, provide all the information and functionality they need to manage their membership in the Nexus Mods user area, away from the forums, and to give us more control over the pricing and packages offered."

All ongoing PayPal subscriptions will henceforth be canceled automatically by Nexus Mods, so if you want to keep your membership, you'll have to select one of the new packages. The new options will be either monthly at £4.99 per month or annually at £49.99 per year, the same as the current Lifetime Premium Membership.

"While this option [Lifetime] has provided a great deal to our users over the past 14 years, it is becoming less and less sustainable as the cost of keeping the site online increases and the years continue to roll by," Nexus Mods added, "We're thankful to anyone who has taken us up on our Lifetime Membership option up to now but, due to the nature of running the site as a longtime service, we incur ongoing and recurring costs that we need to continue to plan for in the long term and this is why we have decided to remove Lifetime Premium Membership as something you can buy from August 3rd."

Nexus has been updating its site over the past few years to mixed responses from users. For one, downloading now takes you to a five-second countdown while mod authors can no longer remove their creations once uploaded to the site. This removal of the Lifetime subscription might prove as controversial as these prior choices, but Nexus Mods stresses that it's so that it can keep the lights on.
