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?
Calling nexus mods shady is hilarious.
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.
Nexus mods isn't shady, they inform user regarding data breach. They provide mods and have been serving mods ever since pre 2010 I believe (registered myself on that site back in 2014 ish).
Maybe slightly off-topic, I recommend to use Viva New Vegas guide as based on my testing the game is more stable and suitable base for modding up your New Vegas install, however also check out every mods you are going to install especially older mods pre-2018 (for me) as they sometime aren't optimized which may makes unstable issue with the game. Hope you enjoy the New Vegas!
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
