There’s obvious noticeable reasons why it’s really not good, and a lot of this stems from Bethesda’s focus on the console modding side of things. You know the situation is bad when the usual Bethesda sycophants within the community are even admitting it’s pretty damn bad. So much so, and my own hubris notwithstanding, I’d say that if this wasn’t the official mod resource from Bethesda themselves and tied directly into the Creation Kit for easy publishing then practically nobody would be using it. Let's not beat around the bush on this one, it’s pretty awful.

However, coupled with the Creation Kit came, Bethesda’s official mod hosting platform. This is basically the tool that modders use to create the more advanced mods that originally weren’t possible (or were considerably harder to do) before the Creation Kit’s release.

I've posted this article on both our Fallout 4 section and our Skyrim section, as this information is also relevant to the Skyrim community now that Bethesda have openly announced their work on the Skyrim Remaster, which will include a new Creation Kit and mods on for Skyrim.īack towards the end of April Bethesda released the Creation Kit for PC players. However, we’ve released a small update to the mod author permissions section to address some of the issues that have arisen lately (details towards the bottom of this article), so I guess addressing the elephant in the room would now make sense. I don’t know if it’s a lethargy that’s come from a changing of the seasons, or more likely, whether I feel utterly drained from the past few weeks of downright stupidity surrounding the community from all sides that makes me resent having to address the situation. Today’s essay is on a subject I really don’t want to cover.
