Modders are furious as Claude-powered mashup mods flood social media

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.

"I mod games and I'm not shy about the fact that I use AI to do it. I hate this bullshit 'trend'. Pure slop, there's nothing creative about this at all," modder kran27_ posted, adding that "the shit that's getting the clicks is this jingling keys bullshit".

Another, discountmodder, added: "If this becomes the permanent state of modding, this may be my last project. I don't wanna be involved in an AI slop-factory".

Presenting... Escape from Skyrim lol.

What's got them so riled up is the huge surge of mods that bring unrelated games together, from World of Warcraft into Call of Duty: World at War, to Escape From Tarkov into Skyrim, and a version of Insomniac's Spider-Man that lets you swing around Batman: Arkham City's Gotham.

5's cheaper tokens and improved code generation making it easier than ever to point the model at a game, decompile it, and add in something else entirely.
