Nexus Mods announce age verification for UK users

The Nexus Mods team have announced they’re adding an age verification requirement for certain mods, and it sounds like eventually for the EU too.

You can thank the UK Online Safety Act they legally have to follow, if they’re to continue hosting “adult” themed mods for various games. This follows Discord, Reddit and many other sites being forced to do the same. They’ll be using k-ID for it, which is also used by Discord.

This won’t be required for everyone, it will only appear when you try to access adult content hosted on Nexus Mods. They said EU users will “follow once laws in your region require it” and other countries as their laws come in. The only exemption is accounts over 10 years old will not be asked to age verify.

If you are prompted to verify and choose not to they said the content will simply be hidden.

Their FAQ post has more info. Nexus said it will begin next week.
