They had no clear moderation system in place. It became clear, early on, that Bethesda had not planned for the eventuality of mods being stolen. Here’s where things get pants on head stupid. We’ve banned hundreds (it could even be thousands) of accounts here for doing it and Bethesda obviously know about it too, as they’ve had to deal with similar issues on their own forums and with the Skyrim Workshop on Steam. We’ve been dealing with mod theft within the PC modding community for years now. While mods are available on consoles, they can’t actually be made by console users on their consoles after all.Īs the flood-gates opened, it became increasingly obvious that users could just come to the Nexus or indeed the PC section of, download another author’s mod, open up the Creation Kit and upload the file to the XBox One section, with or without that author’s permission. However, in order for the mods to be available on consoles, PC mod authors would need to upload their mods, as a separate entry, to ’s system. Finally, they’d be able to get their hands on mods too. For years they’ve been reading about all the amazing mods available for games like Skyrim and Fallout 3 but have been unable to use mods themselves.

Unfortunately, Fallout 76 is not cross-play with the console versions. If you’re here reading this article right now and didn’t have your two accounts already linked, then you’re out of luck as the window has already passed.Įven if you don’t end up making the switch to Steam, you can rest easy knowing that you’ll still be able to play with others regardless of what PC launcher they use. Fallout 76 will be available in your Steam library upon launch on April 14. If you had your Bethesda account linked to Steam before 11:59 ET on April 12, then you’re all set.
