Nexus Mods requires mods to disclose AI use
What happened
On 4 November 2026, PC game modding site Nexus Mods announced new rules: newly uploaded mods must declare whether they use AI, and mods labelled "AI-assisted" must also publicly explain how and where AI was used. The platform will not ban AI-generated mods outright, but AI labels will be more prominent on mod pages and a control option will let users hide AI content. Existing mod authors have a 60-day grace period until 2 January, after which the new rules take effect.
