What Bethesda Creations is

Bethesda Creations is a community catalog for discovering, downloading and playing community-made content in Fallout 4, Skyrim and Starfield. Its listings include work from professional developers as well as enthusiasts. Players can browse and download Creations through supported games’ in-game menus, and Skyrim content can also be added through the Creations website. Some content is free; other Creations can be purchased with Creation Credits through a game menu. Purchased content may be available on multiple platforms when the same Bethesda.net account is linked on each one, but credits remain on the platform where they were bought. Credits can be used across the three games on the same Steam or Xbox platform where they were purchased.

Creators accepted into Bethesda Game Studios’ Verified Creator Program can sell Creations and earn royalties. Applying requires a work portfolio, a Bethesda.net account linked to an Xbox account, multifactor authentication and the latest Creation Kit; accepted creators are asked to enroll in Microsoft Partner Center to receive payments. Bethesda identifies Creation Kit as its official upload tool. Availability may vary by region, game and platform. Bethesda also warns that Creations can cause issues, and achievements are disabled unless otherwise specified.
