Conversions between Nexus Mods categories and Mod Picker categories.

Notes

  • An asterisk * after a Mod Picker category indicates use that category or an appropriate sub-category from it.
  • These category conversions are only recommendations, and make some assumptions about how mods are categorized. View this table as a guideline, not a rule. It's always best to use critical thinking and category descriptions to determine mod categories.
