How long do you think it will take for mods to explode like Skyrim for this game?

[KnightedWarrior]

So we already know this game is hyped up like mad crazy, and is apparently going to be made in "Creation Kit 2" or something...
Will this potentially make it easier for modders to move over to this game and start making big mods fast and easy?

Would love if there was a mod that let you start your own faction and declare war on everyone or take over the galaxy, and etc.
Maybe even an armada mod where you start your own fleet of space ships.
Or a mod like that skyrim war mod where NPCs will duke it out en masse.
Like a fleet of one faction fighting another faction.

How long do you think it would take for mod of this level to appear after the game's release?

(Also, on a funny side note, Can't wait for big tiddy companion mods to appear just like skyrim.)

Depends on how soon they release the Creation kit for the game, but i'm fairly sure Nexus mods will have loads by the time the game has been out for 6 months

Epic, something I got to look forward to now, haha.
But first I'm gonna wait for reviews. Maybe like 3 days after game release to check if its good.

That's what i would estimate as well.
Some 6 months to maybe a year after the "creation kit"'s release.

Creation kit probably wont be released until 6 months after game release. I.e. March 2024.

I just found on Nexus mods that BGS announced it'll be released in January

The bad news is that article was published 1st December 2011, and is referring to Skyrim and the Creation Kit back in January 2012.

The good news is that Skyrim's Creation Kit was released February 2012, four months after release. So it could be as early as January 2024, as you say.

Bingo, I was going to say the better part of 6months minimum. The good mods like overhauls can take year or two even. Take my word on this, trust me I'm a doctor and everything I know comes from the news and internet.

Then this, it all depends on the mod support offered and when. If we are assuming it releases on the games release date. It's safe to bet full mod support so that's assuring. I don't mind the wannabe modders who just change values and call a mod. The mods we hold near and dear to our heart are the ones that add onto the game in ways that was not there before.

With Fallout4 it released in Oct and the mod kit came out in March the following year.

I expect more of the same.

The cynic in me wants to say they COULD bring this out faster but wont so they can sell us thier custom mods and reskins for 5USD a piece in the creation club. No doubt various reskins and mods are being developed now as we speak.

I dont expect player driven mods like fleet battles and "rts/4X" gameplay mods for atleast 2 years after release.

CBBE though for sexy companions? Probably 2 months after the CK is out.

There are already files referencing the Creation Kit in the game. There's a config file called CreationKitTooltips.ini for example

People say 6 months, I agree. Maybe sooner, and obviously later as well. I hope people look into various Star Wars mods, Anime space mods, among other fun stuff. Even the Halo Pelican aircraft, among other fun stuff.

As for the R18 mods, I do hope it's not crude and it's more tasteful. Doesn't have to be related to female breasts, though can be suggestive and teaseful. Having elegant eye candy characters would be nice, and even those who help you just as much.

There used to be a fun anime named 'Mouretsu Pirates', that would be a fun one to add into this game for the fun of it, not for the morally corrupted people hijacking Anime for weird world movements. I'll leave it intentionally vague like that.

How fast until "those" mods are released? A few hours I think.

There's no point in being coy, everyone knows what you are talking about and it is more embarrassing for you than anything.

Cbbe took an approx of 1 month post launch for both skyrim and fo4. It was out before the creation kits were.

The first mods never take much time to release because older tools can be adapted to the newer launches, xedit was available day one for skyrim with some bugs.

Sir, I meant the eye color mods!

[Jack Greedy]

I think big mods start appearing after CK is released, i think it will be 1 year from release .

[anvil2011]

If they follow the LEGEND OF SKYRIM...which took 3 months till CK realease, for Starfield, 3 months past release would be December 6, 2023.
