Overview

Porting Assets (textures, meshes, sounds, etc.) from one game to another is generally not allowed on NexusMods, unless the company or person that owns the rights to the game in question (Rights Holder) has explicitly given permission to port their assets.

  • You must have permission from the Rights Holder.
  • You must adhere to the terms set by the Rights Holder.
  • It must be non-profit.
  • Full credit must be given to the Rights Holder and any other parties involved.
