Honestly, if you’re a bit burned out with modding for some of the other games we support right now I can highly recommend Far Cry 3 for filling the void. You’ll already find the file database has been populated with some of the mods, and hopefully that will continue to fill up as word spreads and we can put a spotlight on the modding community for Far Cry 3. The initial response has been good, and once again I’m here hoping to support a great game that could be even greater if only the modders were given the room they need to make the most of the game. Over the Christmas and New Year period I’ve worked hard on setting up Far Cry Nexus and getting in contact with as many of the known authors as I can, asking them if they’d be willing to share their work on the site and talking to a few about what I can do to help.

And that’s why I think the game needs a Nexus.

Modders working hard to ensure they, and you, can make the most of the game deserve more than that, they deserve a dedicated place where they can share their work without getting drowned out by all the other game related noise. New mod announcement threads are lost among the myriad of other Far Cry 3 related discussions to do with anything and everything. With no official modding forums over at the Ubisoft Official Forums talk about modding has been restricted to a few rather large threads where new hints and tips are shared by budding modders. Not as tough as the recent XCOM game, but still, it does present a barrier to entry for some. It’s all sounding great so far, right? Unfortunately there’s a snag: while Ubisoft have released a map editor for multiplayer maps, they haven’t released an SDK or editor for the main game, which makes modding a bit more tough.
