Bethesda Says "No Mod Support"

[EDIT: Apparently someone has already managed to find that the file structure uses the same as the OldGen version, and ESP's work the same way. Jury is out on getting a script extender but there may be hope after all!]

Bethesda says that there is NO MOD SUPPORT at all for this game. Nobody is sure if this will change eventually, obviously, but I don't hold out much hope.

I have a sneaking suspicion that Bethesda doesn't want mod support anymore on their games anyway. This is why they keep messing with Skyrim and Fallout 4. The endless moddability of the older games is hitting their profits and those of Microsoft too.

No mods = no buy or at least buy at looooooowww prize, sorry :)

[Khorne Flakes]

They want people to have to use their paid mods this time around

[Anzaman]

Most likely related to them using Unreal Engine.

Good guy bethesda saving me money by releasing bad products.

as if justfying to pay £50 isent enough for a game with no new content..they expect more money from mod support only by them..f that

That's rough. Did they say any reason why they wouldn't allow modding on this game? Was it because they changed game engines?

This reminds me of Darkest Dungeon 2. First game is great and has a lot of "replayability" since you could add new classes after finishing the game normally on the first run.

Yeah, I have zero plans on buying this game with the lack of mod support.
The vanilla game, while good, only holds my attention so long, modding the original was why I had put so much time into it.

Sorry bethesda, I gotta give this one a pass.

[Mentally Unstable]

Does not sound good. Does that mean that there is no "creation kit" for the game nor will there be one in future?

I'm hoping that it is just a standard reply that they do not support mods in any official capacity.

[D. Flame]

Profound sadness.

Game is dead.

Possibly. But the timing of this release and the Fallout update when FO:London was about to drop makes me think this is the way they want to go anyway.

I'd hate to be proven wrong. I was really hoping with UE5 that modding was about to hit a new golden age.

[Pockets]

But if they don't allow mods, who will fix their games for them? They sure aren't going to do it.

[Noodlesocks]

I don't think I could play a Bethesda game without mods.

[CHASE6]

Mods would be great. But for this, I can live without it. At this point, I don't think anyone can say that x mod is needed. Maybe or coming months. But this released an hour ago. Let's sink some time before saying we need to mod it.

[Darkrayne]

For now, I only care about being able to increase carry weight to whatever I want. I'm sure someone will figure it out if the console commands for creation engine only games aren't active.

Bet still a load of mods are on Nexus though.
