"We want to continue to make and do stuff for Skyrim and Fallout 4, and we want to create an ecosystem that works across both games, but we want to leave mods the way that they are," he said.
Here's a key difference, though: speaking to Gamespot, Bethesda's Pete Hines said existing mods won't appear on Creation Club as paid products, and the existing mod environment will continue alongside as a distinct entity. Hence Creation Club, announced for PC, PS4 and Xbox One during Bethesda's E3 2017 presser and immediately summed up as another crack at the whole paid mods scheme that went down like a lead balloon back in 2015. But DLC is another, and that's one that makes money directly for the original publisher. Mods are a great way of extending a game's life cycle and generating further sales, and that's probably at least partially why Bethesda has made great strides bringing Skyrim and Fallout 4 mods to PS4 and Xbox One. Skyrim and to a lesser degree Fallout 4 seem to be eternal, and Bethesda would quite like to keep generating money from them while it pootles about making everything except The Elder Scrolls 6. It'll be interesting to see how well it ends up being supported, and whether people actually take to it or not.Bethesda's Creation Club is a Skyrim and Fallout 4 DLC pipeline offering paid work to amateur creators, not a paid mod scheme. New weapons, armour sets, outfits, paint jobs - that sort of thing. For the most part, we're looking at small-scale stuff right now. In other words, you can kind of think of them as "official" mods that Bethesda has approved and you have to pay for.Īnyway, thanks to the aforementioned PC beta - currently only available for Fallout 4 - we can take a look at what kind of content is coming. The difference here, though, is that the stuff that you buy and download from the Creation Club won't disable Trophies or interfere with your save data. Unsurprisingly, the whole concept didn't go down too well with the community, and the Creation Club was quickly called out as a way for Bethesda to wheel out a "paid mods" program. For those out of the loop, the Creation Club was revealed during the publisher's E3 2017 press conference, and it basically allows players to purchase extra pieces of content for each game - content that's authored by fellow users. Bethesda's Creation Club program has entered its beta phase on PC, giving us a glimpse of what we can expect once it hits the PlayStation 4 versions of Fallout 4 and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
