Nexus Mods mandates AI disclosure for new mod uploads

Nexus Mods' decision comes as AI tools are used throughout mod creation, from script autocompletion to generating textures, voices, and full assets. The site already had tags for AI-generated and AI-assisted mods, but it says these were not clear enough. Rather than ban AI, the platform is betting that disclosure and prominent labeling will keep AI use visible and regulated under its own rules.

The policy sits alongside other changes. Nexus Mods is also working on clearer control over how mods can be reused and strengthening attribution when a mod uses another author's work with permission. Separately, it is adjusting the Recently Added section because faster mod production has led some authors to upload many mods at once, pushing others down the page.

Mod authors have 60 days to update existing mods, with enforcement beginning after January 2nd. The platform is also launching controls to hide AI-generated content on game pages and the homepage, with search controls next.
