CLUSTER GAME-MOD-INSTALLS · 60 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2023-02-26
Game mod management tools
This cluster comprises desktop and cross-platform tools for installing, managing, organizing, updating, and launching game mods, spanning specific titles, modding platforms, and general-purpose managers. The dated history is long and sparse, with entries appearing irregularly from December 2017 to July 2026, typically one to three per month in months that had any, showing no sustained acceleration before the index start. Traction is led by mayflyMods with 74 stars, far ahead of A-Plague-Tale-Resonance-Trainer (16 stars) and nextended (7 stars).
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
