However, it is unclear whether the CK will work seamlessly with the Virtual Reality versions of the games as modding for Skyrim VR and Fallout 4 VR is not officially supported by Bethesda. You should not need the Steam version exclusively to use these tools. I have been able to confirm with Bethesda that both of these Creation Kit builds are compatible with the Steam and Xbox (PC) versions of their respective games. You can add them to your library by clicking on the banners below. Luckily, Bethesda has already made both the Fallout 4 and Skyrim Special Edition versions of the Creation Kit freely available on Steam.

The Creation Kit - the official SDK for creating Skyrim and Fallout 4 mods - could only be acquired exclusively through this launcher which would of course be a problem for new modders once the service is taken offline. Moreover, Creation Kit 2 will have fundamental similarities with Creation Kit itself, making mod-creation workflows that much easier.As some of you may already be aware, the launcher is being shut down next month and players are being offered the chance to migrate their games and other content to Steam.

In other words, Creation Kit support should have a public release shortly after the game's release, if not on day one. We love what they do and hope to see more make a career out of it.”

Our modding community has been with us for 20 years. Starfield, for which Nexusmods has already rolled out a proactive official discord server for modding, will have a head-start.Īs Todd Howard mentioned in a Reddit AMA: “Our plan is to have full mod support like our previous games. But when it took off, the catalyst was the release of official modding tools like Creation Kit.

The importance of mod authors who brought their experience of Oblivion and Morrowind modding cannot be understated by any stretch as a factor for its blow-up. In the early era of Skyrim modding days, only minuscule retexture mods would be the frequent takeaway of the daily Nexusmods traffic for the game.
