Nexus Mods makes AI-use disclosure mandatory for new mods
Nexus Mods now requires uploaders to declare AI use and will require a public explanation for AI-assisted mods, alongside more prominent labels.
AT A GLANCE
Key points
- AI-use disclosure is mandatory for new mods, with a public explanation required for AI-assisted content.
- AI-generated mods are not banned, but existing content has a grace period ending January 2, 2027.
- New permission controls are still being developed and are planned to default to “Ask me.”
What is changing?
Starting November 3, Nexus Mods requires creators uploading a new mod to declare whether AI was used in the work. Mods marked as AI-assisted will also need a public explanation of where and how AI was used, and AI-related tags will be displayed more prominently on mod pages.
The platform is not imposing a blanket ban on AI-generated mods. Instead, it says it will enforce transparency, permission, presentation and conduct rules, with a 60-day grace period for existing mods ending January 2, 2027. Missing disclosures or permission settings may later lead to warnings, account restrictions or removal.
Nexus Mods also reiterated that it will not use or license hosted mods for AI training. New permission options for AI use, training, forks and derivative works are still under development and are planned to default to “Ask me.”
