What this really amounts to, by all accounts, is the introduction of ‘premium’ mods and a two-tier system – paid-for mods either produced, or vetted by, Bethesda, and a second tier consisting of all other content which is free (not necessarily of a lower quality, we might add just not curated by Bethesda).ĭevelopers and modders can apply to get their wares into the Creation Club system here, and gamers can add their own thoughts to the growing avalanche of comments on YouTube.
However, it will be producing its own mod content internally, along with some third-party mods from devs which will be heavily vetted, tested and polished.īut the flat-out denial that the Creation Club is a system of paid mods is rather confusing – since it clearly is, albeit with caveats – and again hasn’t gone down particularly well with the gaming population. It then adds: “Most of the Creation Club content is created internally, some with external partners who have worked on our games, and some by external Creators.”Įssentially, Bethesda is saying that all existing mods will remain free, and that free mods will continue to be made for both games.
