The Nexus Mod Manager , which is still in open beta, works alongside the popular Nexus Mods site by handling mod file storage location, downloads management, and many installation paths.
For the mods that support it, this allows you to just download and install from a single location instead of having to navigate a bunch of different game folders to make sure all the pieces are in place. It should be no surprise that if you want to use Steam Workshop mods, you need to use Steam. The Workshop features within Steam allow you to subscribe to mods for games you own on the platform. Once you do, Steam will handle the installation part, then keep your mods automatically updated, just like the rest of your games library.
Not all Steam games support Workshop, though. The Twitch Desktop App has a handful of Twitch and community features, but recently, the mods application features from the previous Curse app has been rolled into it. Much like the Nexus Mod Manager, you can install mods through the app instead of dealing with each mod installation effort individually. Finding mods for games is the easy part. Regardless, there are all kinds of sites and services that host mods for gamers to download and use.
Here are some of the largest repositories. The Nexus sites are primarily community-driven, with free hosting and distribution of mods made by just about anyone.
Mod DB is one of the oldest modding resource sites out there. Game developers can support the Steam Workshop for their games, which then allows communities to create and change the game, while handling all mod hosting and sorting through Steam directly. Steam Workshop makes modding dead simple.
Curse , recently acquired by Twitch, is a multimedia organization that holds a wide range of gaming-centric media. At E3 , game publisher Bethesda introduced the Bethesda Creation Club , a curated marketplace for mod creators to be able to make and sell content for Fallout 4 and Skyrim Special Edition.
The idea of paid mods may be a touchy subject for some, though. Several games and series have specific community sites where most of their mods originate. The popular mods from these sources may be rehosted elsewhere, but these niche sites tend to be the primary community for the games. Simply get the mod, check its files and you have your answer ready in no-time. No need to subscribe, fire up the game, waiting for the intro prison to load, downloading the mod, quitting the game, finding the data folder, etcetera Other cases include having only an offline version of the game and you want access to this content to play with mods without an internet connection.

Widely credited as every player's most essential Dragon Age: Origins mod, Skip the Fade by hdhd allows players to bypass the labyrinthine trip through the Fade during the Broken Circle chapter. When the Sloth demon teleports the hero into the Fade, after they defeat Duncan at Weisshaupt Fortress, they will be immediately transported to each of their companions' nightmares.
Then, they can fight the demon. They will automatically earn all the extra attribute points they would otherwise need to solve puzzles to find in the Fade, and they will also receive all associated Codex Entries. For players who hate pausing the main story to try to navigate the Fade, this mod is a must-have.

Peter Kovacs fixed this with the Character Respecialization mod. Players can interact with the mysterious Raven who appears at camp to reset base attributes, specialization, spells, talents, and skills of their hero and any companions.
If players have missed a gameplay-specific specialization, like Blood Mage or Duelist, they will not be able to add it via the Raven, but if they have already obtained it during the main story, they can add it back again.
