One of the most popular Total War: Warhammer 3 mods was ‘deliberately corrupted’ by its creator to sabotage AI-made copies

The Lords of the End Times expansion for Total War: Warhammer 3 has made the SFO Grimhammer 3 mod incompatible with the latest game version, prompting the creators to work on a fix. Some individuals have been reworking the original mod using AI coding and reuploading it, leading to frustration within the modding community. The creator of SFO Grimhammer 3 has corrupted the mod to prevent unauthorized uploads and has threatened to make it private if the situation escalates. They have stated their opposition to the appropriation of their work for AI purposes and emphasized that their mods will remain free. A functional version of SFO: Grimhammer III for game version 8.1.1 has been restored on Steam in response to community feedback. The creator hopes to raise awareness about the issues caused by AI-generated modifications and advocates for AI to be a supportive tool rather than a replacement for individual creativity in modding.

This remarkable mod transforms the most frightening horror game of the decade into Mirror’s Edge

TiMan, a modder, has created a mod called Bunker's Edge for the game Amnesia: The Bunker, which transforms the original horror setting into a vibrant urban landscape reminiscent of EA's Mirror's Edge. The mod retains the horror elements, featuring the same menacing creature pursuing the protagonist, Henri. While it showcases innovative modding, Bunker's Edge lacks the polish of Mirror's Edge, with some parkour movements feeling clunky and players occasionally getting trapped in the game’s geometry. The mod also incorporates sci-fi elements similar to Soma, generating excitement and making it one of the most anticipated titles for 2027.
