Oh so they will slap some fallout 4 remodeled assets from fallout 76, back into fallout 4... but wait for it, ask that you pay for it again in the creation club?

No thanks

I dont know about anyone else but i have been looking forward to new CC items for a while. Nothing new any time recently. I really dont know how well it has done, but for the PS it may have done well.

Been interesting in Fallout Miami but thats completely stalled out it looks like, and the rumours of Fallout New Vegas 2 have come to nothing, and Starfield and ES 6 also nothing lately.

Either way, not interested in paying for fallout 4 assets that were put into fallout 76 and then back into fallout 4, when 99% of the time, someone has already made a free version of it on nexus... soo....

Nexus is the cure for that!

it is possable to port outfits very easily... i did this alot aready but the point it its not allowed by bethesda TOS to port assets from their games

[Ultrabot]

Bethesda wants to force us into playing online,

yeah, no interest. I like doing things at my own speed.

[FluffyZarkus]

ive heard that bethesda doesnt allow it and that you could get into some legal issues with them for that

1000% Agree

There's a few mods that remakes stuff from F76 to F4. I personally use "Recipe76", though I wish the modder didn't enforce the use of his own sorting mod that nobody else uses. It adds most of the cooking/chem recipes from F76.

NO thanks.
FO76 was ok at launch and garbage since they put in NPCs.

They can keep their 'assets'.

Aside from copyright issues that may arise fallout 76 was far more buggy than fallout 4 because of how they went about inserting the multiplayer feature among other changes into the older fallout 4 engine.

If anything they should focus on their next games being bug free rather than trying to port newer stuff into the older game.

I thought it was illegal to port stuff from 76 to 4?

It is, but most decent modders skirt this by just making a copy of the item in nifskope/blender/whatever and then putting it into Fallout 4. Check out "Appalachia Commonwealth" for an example.

It depends on who owns the copyright to the stuff. For example if Bethesda owns them and decides to port them then it would not be.

Which from the OP seems to be what they are asking to have happen.

Likewise if a modder created a from scratch version that appears the same then technically they did not port the assets of fallout 76 into fallout 4 they made an original creation that just happens to have the same look and function so it does not qualify as having illegally copied a fallout 76 asset without permission.

I recall there being issues when they made a mod to crossover between fallout 3 and fallout NV the only way legally around the copyright issue was for the ones wanting to use the mod to have both games and manually copy and rename certain files from one game folder into the other the mod then did nothing more than allow in game access to the other content.

Had the modders actually provided the fallout 3 or NV files as part of the mod then they would have gotten into trouble like the one that tried to pass off the beta of one of the DLCs as their own mod.
