Most PC gamers will tell you that mods are a big part of any gaming experience on the platform. Â This is especially true for The Elder Scrolls franchise which has had an active community over the years. Â Bethesda recently teamed up with Valve to bring the Creation Kit and Steam Workshop together to form the ultimate toolbox to make, distribute, and download content from across the community. Â While the Creation Kit has only been out for a short time, Skyrim fans have racked up over 2 million downloads in the short time.
The community has cooked up more than 2500 downloadable mods all of which are available free to expand the Skyrim experience. Â For PC players the Creation Kit and Steam Workshop are free tools that can be downloaded via Valve’s Steam service.
Skyrim is coming off a big week, where Bethesda Game Studios not only released the mod tools for the game, but also recieved top honors at the 2012 IAA’s winning GOTY at D.I.C.E 2012.
