Automated excerpt
Long-time mod makers are not happy about the latest trend to take over their corner of the internet - the "bullshit 'trend'" of AI-generated, or "vibe-coded", mods. As first reported by IGN, the backlash is building after a number of modders - including some who openly admit to using generative AI to help write their mods - opened up about mashup mods splicing entirely unrelated games together. None of these mashups have popped up on modding platforms like Nexus Mods yet, though, and IGN suggests that's likely down to rights issues rather than lack of interest.
