It then adds: “Most of the Creation Club content is created internally, some with external partners who have worked on our games, and some by external Creators.”Įssentially, Bethesda is saying that all existing mods will remain free, and that free mods will continue to be made for both games. Also, we won’t allow any existing mods to be retrofitted into Creation Club, it must all be original content.” Mods will remain a free and open system where anyone can create and share what they’d like. The FAQ states: “Is Creation Club paid mods?”

In its FAQ for the club, however, Bethesda is defending itself by insisting that this isn’t a system of paid mods.
