Overview

  • Nexus Mods is finalizing the specific age-verification system for most adult mods in the UK and EU, with implementation details to be confirmed soon.
  • The site has already deployed granular adult-content tags—ranging from pornographic to self-harm categories—applied and locked in place by staff to improve user filtering.
  • Automated detection for child sexual abuse material is live, with flagged content removed immediately and uploaders banned and reported to the UK National Crime Agency.
  • Its Terms of Service are being revised to clearly define illegal content under UK law and reinforce protections for minors on the platform.
  • These compliance measures partly launched on July 1 and will roll out fully over the coming weeks and months, while users outside the UK and EU remain exempt from new age checks.
