Todd Howard says Starfield mod support is on the way next year​

Game director Todd Howard has said that official Starfield mod support is planned for next year, which is in line with the team's Fallout 4 support.

“When the mods are ready, you will be able to do almost anything as we have done in the past, and the mods will be supported next year, but we will do it in a big way because we love it too.”

Howard’s quote in Famitsu has been machine-translated and edited for clarity, but the core point is clear as day. Official Starfield mod support is coming next year. With Fallout 4 getting mod support the year after release, it’s no surprise that Bethesda is doing the same here.

Without the Creation Kit toolset, modders are limited in what they can do. When Bethesda releases their tools (timeline looks to be about the same as Fallout 4) modders will be able to do anything.

A new thread for each specific mod, please.

The PC mod scene is always there.

A lot more interested in what kind of mod support the console version gets. Skyrim and FO4 were pretty decent about it, obviously you can't do extender mods but there was a good variety of texture, weather, terrain, quest mods etc.

Hell, even the unofficial patch mods made it to console.

This will bring the game from a standard fare to something decent.

Where's Skyblivion?

It's great that they continue support modding, even somewhat for consoles too.

I hope the mods on Xbox aren’t limited to the Creation Club out of greed. Just having free graphics and expansion/quest mods in Skyrim on Console (or Xbox at least; Sony gimped the PS4 version themselves) makes me replay it once every 1-3 years.

It will be 2024 before I get to level 20. Still lost under a canopy of trees in the rain fighting what look like praying mantises with sunflowers for heads. Why do I keep surveying stuff?

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

its limited without the official tools/support

The biggest thing for me is a smoother framerate. Game runs chunky out of the box.

 

[Ozzie666]

Do these content creators get anything for their efforts or is it all done for the love of the game?

 

[CoreyFlawless]

Why I more likely be playing this game for the next 10 years

That’s significantly longer than previous titles. Skyrim and fallout had the mod tools released around 1-2 months after release. Todd Howard sure knows how lazy his team is and he just want to delay the modding scene releases a bit to avoid large attention.

Most of us mod authors do it for fun/love of the game. Some appreciate donations. A very few get a one time pay by Bethesda to make Creation Club content that Bethesda will sell.

Waiting for the ultimate mod--VR.

Basically everything in this post is wrong. The time between release of the game, and the release of the tools, has increased with each title as the games have expanded to include more advanced features.

Fallout 3 release date: Oct, 2008 -> Fallout 3 GECK release date: Dec, 2008 (2 Months)
Skyrim release date: Nov, 2011 -> Skyrim Creation Kit release date: Feb, 2012 (4 Months)
Fallout 4 release date: Nov, 2015 -> Fallout 4 Creation Kit release date: Apr, 2016 (6 Months)
Starfield release date: Sep, 2023 -> Starfield Creation Kit release date: ???, 2024 (minimum 4 Months)

VRR has been essential for me with this game

 

[twilo99]

This game feels like a great canvas for mods so I'm looking forward to see what's possible.

 

[Pakoe]

Fuck the bullshit creation club.

I've been running some of my playtime on series X and a Samsung TV with VRR, holds together but feels like Destiny 2 stutter before the 60fps updates years post launch.

Ok, I'm wrong about my claim then, but skyrim is LESS THAN 3 months after, you can't just google search as release date is feb 7, do some 1 second counting in your brain too, unless your brain isn't functional and requires half a day more since you still didn't realize this after at least 12 hours from your reply.
