What this means for you

Nothing to act on unless you publish to Nexus Mods: new mod submissions now need an AI declaration. What the site counts as AI use, and whether existing mods will be re-checked, is not specified.

Nexus Mods, the main repository for PC game mods, will require authors to declare whether AI was used in their work when they upload new mods, the site said on 4 November. The rule covers new uploads. The report gives no detail on whether existing mods must be re-declared, what counts as AI use, or what happens to an undeclared upload. It was published as part of a wider post about AI-generated content on the platform, whose other measures the report does not set out.
