Sorry I am New - How To Install Anniversary Upgrade?
See title. I paid for the bundle and it's done downloading. Do I have to do anything to make the anniversary upgrade work? I want to go fishing!

When you are done downloading it should just work (maybe restart the game once though). To go fishing you need to find a fishing spot and activate it with a fishing rod in hand. Usually every town close to water has one. It's a small box with worms, etc.

Fishing is actually the only useful mod as far as I'm concerned (and it was included in the free update anyway afaik).

Fishing was in that update, so it should already be there.
For the full AE you just load up the game, it asks you to download, you sign in to your Bethesda
account and then it starts installing AE.

OK, most of you guys seem new, When you start the game there is a menu in the lower right side. Says Continue, New, CreationClub, Mods and some other stuff. You want to see what you have click on it, wait for it to load and you will see some panels with info, read it click on it read it and if you want it download it. You go thru all that, then do mods if you want always read any instructions with mods, you can adjust the load order there too. Also look at the pinned instructions, good luck and enjoy the game until you kill it. Then start over, guaranteed to happen.

I already had a Beth account linked to Steam from playing Fallout 4. So the installation for the AE with all the 70+ CC content, was seamless. And all of the CC content I have done so far, has worked perfectly.

In other words, the game installed, along with the other stuff like any other game I have brought off of Steam.

Go to Creation Club in the launcher menu, and select download all, this may require you to log in to your Bethesda account.

Once the CC mods have all downloaded it may require a restart, but the content should automatically be added... although you may need to google the various CC mods to find out what you need to do to start the various quests.

No you should be good. I simply accepted the DLC download and once it was finished downloading I hit continue and never looked back.

There should be a download all option...

Actually you press download all and that works.
Not to be annoying or anything, but "scams" implies you bought something and it turned out to be a different or nonexistent product, so CC are not scams.

Verify. That will start download of any missing AE content. Not as if download site ever bugs out during downloads ... or loses connection and forgets you were downloading at all ... or etc etc etc

Just did the whole thing yesterday.

The only reason to go to the Creation Club section is if you somehow did not receive all the CC content.

I went and checked and it was all confirmed already. Now, can you later find out you're missing an item? Sure, anything is possible. But you won't see all the content in game as it unlocks as you go.

I'm at a complete loss to see how this improves game play at all.

It doesn't, but it's the only way to get a couple of items, and gets you some alchemy ingredients (fish).... but it adds nothing to the gameplay...

Fishing did add the missing draugr weapons, for that I am very grateful.
