Overview
- Nexus Mods announced the policy on Tuesday and opened a 60-day grace period for existing uploads to add mandatory AI disclosures, with direct enforcement scheduled to begin after January 2, 2027.
- New uploads must declare whether AI was used and include a public explanation of how and where AI contributed to the mod so users can judge authorship and quality.
- The site has made AI tags more prominent, added filters that let users hide AI-generated or AI-assisted mods from game pages and search, and plans to extend filtering to search next.
- Moderation will be manual: Nexus encourages user reports, will notify authors who fail to disclose, and reserves the right to restrict or remove repeat offenders after the grace period.
- Nexus also changed site mechanics to limit rapid mass uploads from single authors, said it will not use mods to train AI or license them for that purpose, and acknowledged the community remains split over the approach.
