Nexus Mods rules out full AI ban despite community backlash

Nexus Mods has introduced updated rules requiring mod authors to disclose how and where they used generative AI, while ruling out a complete ban. The platform says the policy aims to support human creativity while giving users clearer information to decide which mods to download.

Authors have 60 days to bring existing mods into compliance, and users are encouraged to report suspected omissions for manual moderation. Existing AI tags will also help users filter mods from the home page. The change has drawn mixed reactions: some users want a ban, while others say AI tools make modding more accessible.
