Skyrim Creation Tools Nearing Release

Bethesda getting set to release official Creation Tool Set for Skyrim modders on PC.

Bethesda has announced that they are nearing the completion of the Creation Kit for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim on PC. Both the Creation Tools and Steam Workshop set are currently being tested and in the finalization process.

The company says that they could see a public release "by the end of the month".

"We think Skyrim modding is one of the game's best features, and we have the best modders of any game. It's been a lot of exciting work for us, and we can't wait to unleash it," the company said on the Bethblog.

There have already been quite a few great mods to hit the web following the November release TESV, prepare for an avalanche once the tools become available to the public.

Update 1.4 is also nearing finalization and will be pushed to PC first, followed by Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

So since pc saves and xbox saves can be switched over to both platforms, does this mean that mods will work for the xbox if made on the pc? Prob not some crazy ones..but just simple things. Oh and I think ps3 can also be switched with the other platforms too. I don’t have a pc that can run skyrim so I am forced to get saves by other means.

  thats not how mods work….. savegames have nothing to do with it. consoles will never have mods because of the game files are overly pirate proofed.

I have a save for my xbox with a few modified shouts and spells and another with a room full of chests with all the weapons in the game. How is that done.

  console commands. those just basically change “settings”. mods change base files in the game allowing for adding new armor, creating new cells(dungeons and the like),etc. theres mods that change textures to make the game more pleasing to the eye but the xbox cant handle that so if modding was enabled peoeple could put mods like that in and they would start complaining that the game laggs too much.

  Conventional modding involves modifying game data files, skins, models and whatnot. You cant do that on Console.
