Bethesda Creations is a community for finding and playing community-made content in Fallout 4, Skyrim, and Starfield.
What Bethesda Creations is
Bethesda Creations is a community for finding and playing community-made content in Fallout 4, Skyrim, and Starfield. Players can browse and download Creations through supported games’ in-game menus, and Skyrim content can also be added through the Creations website. The catalog includes work from professional developers and enthusiasts; some items are free, while others are purchased with Creation Credits. Purchased Creations may be available on multiple platforms when the same Bethesda.net account is linked on each, 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 purchased. Opening Skyrim’s in-game menu may prompt a Bethesda.net sign-in. Creators accepted into the Verified Creator Program can sell content and earn royalties. Applicants need a work portfolio, linked Bethesda.net and Xbox accounts, MFA, and the latest Creation Kit; accepted creators are asked to enroll in Microsoft Partner Center for payments. Availability varies by region, title, and platform, and Creations may cause issues or disable achievements unless otherwise specified.
