However, the real issues stem from Bethesda’s flagrant disregard for the existing community and their naivety, arrogance and/or ignorance of how the community has worked these past 14 years (since Morrowind). If Bethesda’s offering is pants and PC players don’t want or need to use it, then it’s no harm no foul and we can all continue on without any serious concern because, at the end of the day, it wasn’t made for us in mind anyway. Something PC players are less likely to want to use because it’s far less powerful or usable than a website interface. Indeed, it’s certainly designed around their built-in (yet still quite user unfriendly) mod browsing system from within Fallout 4 itself. While has a PC mods section, it’s not as popular as their XBox One mod section. 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 not great. 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.
