Everyday gamers who have struggled with ideas for their own mods need not fret: Bethesda will include thorough and detailed documentation online so anyone can create mods, as well as a user-curated Creation Kit Wiki to keep all the tips and tricks from the Skyrim community in one place. With the Creation Kit custom INI files can be bundled with modded files, plus archive files can now be created and included with the mod files. Of course if you’ve used any Skyrim mods made without the creation editor, you know how annoying backing up and maintaining INI files is. In essence, Bethesda teamed up with Valve to create the Skyrim Workshop as an organized hub for the Creation Kit, and it seems like it will function as a sort of app store for Skyrim mods and downloads.

You won’t need to pay for mods but you can subscribe to them for free, which will keep the mods you’ve installed updated through automatic downloads. The Skyrim Workshop is basically a mod storefront where players can browse mods, leave feedback and rate downloads. Since we’re as excited about this as you are, here’s a breakdown of the upcoming Skyrim goodies. Bethesda announced their creation kit for Skyrim months as a way for players to create their own game mods store and distribute them freely through the Steam digital distribution service. On the off chance you missed it last year, Skyrim is an immersive RPG in which you assume the role of the Dragonborn and must save the realm while traveling the world and completing countless quests. After raking in numerous Game of the Year awards and exceptional holiday sales last year, developer and publisher Bethesda is releasing new content for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim in the form of organized user mods.
