## Key points

- Nexus Mods will not ban AI-generated creations.
- New uploads must disclose AI use, with explanations for AI-assisted mods.
- Existing mods have until 2 January to meet the new rules.

## Summary

Nexus Mods has ruled out banning AI-generated mods, saying an outright prohibition would be hard to enforce because AI is used across many stages of mod creation. The platform says clearer disclosure will let users decide what they download while allowing it to set rules for AI use.

New uploads must disclose AI use, and mods marked as AI-assisted will need a public explanation of how and where AI was used; AI tags will also be more prominent. Nexus is developing permissions for AI use, training and derivative works, and says it will not use mods to train AI or license them for that purpose. Creators have until 2 January to bring existing mods into line, while the site plans to strengthen moderation and security against malicious code.
