In an effort to curb its recent problems with mod piracy, Bethesda's newest Creation Kit Update has introduced a Steam link feature that will require you to link your Bethesda.net to your Steam before ing any mods to the service.
Fancy trying some mods yourself? We've got a list of the best Fallout 4 mods you might want to check out.
That's not all, you'll need to own Fallout 4 on the linked too. Linking your Steam to a Bethesda is easy, you just need to start Fallout 4, select Mods and and then it'll automatically link the two s fates together forever more.
There's also some general optimizations and bug fixes, and with the PS4's private mod beta coming soon, they've also rolled out PS4 Mod . Modders looking to push your mods to the PS4, all you have to do is pick up the latest Creation Kit update. There's a few caveats to the PS4 , including a maximum size of 900mb for mods, but it's best to check them out on Bethesda's site.
Chris wrote yesterday about how Nexus Mods owner Robin "Dark0ne" Scott called out Bethesda for their inactivity when it came to people pilfering mods from the site and ing them to Bethesda.net, particularly for those playing on Xbox One. The Steam linking feature may not solve the problem, but by linking it to a Steam and requiring the to have a copy of Fallout 4, there's at least a way to punish modders who don't have the best interests of the community at heart.
