## Key points

- Nexus Mods requires AI-use disclosures, but is not banning AI content.
- AI-assisted creators must explain where and how they used AI.
- Existing mods have until 2 January 2027 to meet the rules.

## Summary

Nexus Mods will allow AI-generated and AI-assisted mods, but requires creators to disclose how they used AI. The platform says clear labelling and moderation are more effective than banning the technology, which could otherwise drive its use out of view.

From 3 November 2026, new uploads must be labelled as AI-generated, AI-assisted or made without AI; AI-assisted creators must explain how they used it. Existing mods, including older uploads, have until 2 January 2027 to comply. Nexus says it will not use mods to train AI or sell them for that purpose, and is adding permissions for authors to set rules for outside AI use, defaulting to “Ask Me”.
