Wait what? Nexus Mods acknowledges a security flaw that had been breached and took action to notify the community and solve the problem and you think that's shady?

MODERATORS
Informing your users of potential security issues is the opposite of shady.
But I just tested creating an account and it worked fine for me. Maybe check your typing for spaces or other invalid characters.
You can also contact their support directly at [email protected], but I recommend not taking an accusatory tone with them if you do.
When did nexus mods become shady?
I've never found a Nexus Mods alternative mirror. There are other sites that host mods, you might be able to find what you're looking for.
That's really odd, I've never heard of that before and I've never had any issues with Nexus but yeah. It looks like Nexus does block some email domains to prevent people from making tons of throwaway or alt accounts, which is kinda shitty.
Looks like GameBanana has some mods for New Vegas, but I am not sure if you will find everything you are looking for there. The vast majority of NV mods are hosted on Nexus. You could also trudge through the smut to see if you can find what you want on Lover's Lab... but I wouldn't recommend it.
I know my Nexus account is registered under a Gmail account if you want to try making a throwaway Gmail. Hopefully you're able to find what you're looking for!
Edit: wanted to add that there are also NV mods on ModDB
