🎮Nexus Mods Requires AI Disclosure for All New Mod Uploads Starting January 2

Your mod uploads now need an AI disclosure

TL;DR

Nexus Mods now requires every new mod upload to declare whether AI was used. AI-assisted mods must publish how and where AI appeared. Existing mods get 60 days to comply before enforcement begins January 2.

Nexus Mods is making AI disclosure mandatory for every new mod upload. Authors have to declare whether AI touched their work, and anything tagged AI-assisted needs a public explanation of how and where it was used. No outright ban, though. The site calls itself pro-human creativity but isn't pretending AI is gone from modding. If you publish mods, this changes your upload checklist today. AI now runs through the whole pipeline, from script autocompletion to generated textures, voices, and full assets, so the honest answer for many authors is going to be yes. The site is also tightening attribution when a mod builds on another author's work, and it's working on clearer controls over how mods can be reused. Recently Added is getting a rethink too, with per-author display limits and tighter restrictions on new accounts dumping batches of mods. The numbers: existing mods get 60 days to meet the requirements, and the grace period ends January 2. After that, enforcement starts. Nexus is also adding controls to hide AI-generated content on game pages and the homepage, with search next. Nexus Mods will not use mods to train AI, and it won't sell or license mods to anyone who does.
