Nexus Mods adds nuanced AI tags and will punish undisclosed AI use

Nexus Mods updated its moderation policy to split a single 'AI-Generated Content' tag into multiple, more specific tags and clarified what each covers. The new tags distinguish AI-generated content (code, voices, dialogue, music), AI-generated promotional media (images used to promote mods), and AI-assisted work (limited, non-invasive use). The site also warns that failing to correctly tag mods — including hiding generative AI usage — may lead to moderation action, a move driven by user feedback and rising misuse such as ripped voice work and low-quality AI art floods.

• Nexus Mods replaced one broad 'AI-Generated Content' tag with distinct tags: AI-generated content, AI-generated promotional media, and AI-assisted.
• The platform defines AI-generated content to include code, voices, dialogue and music; AI-generated promotional media covers glossy AI images used for mod listings.
• AI-assisted is explicitly for limited, non-invasive uses (for example a developer using AI to prototype or solve coding problems).
• Nexus Mods will take moderation action against mods that fail to correctly tag generative AI usage, citing user feedback about insufficient nuance in the previous single-tag system.
