[@ROBIGNO82]

Imagine!? 🙏

@@Matt_the_TechRanger unfortunately everybody is speculating that they are actually bringing the marketplace to Skyrim and fallout 4 meaning that from now on you will have to pay for mods. Everything has been pointing to this for a while. So hopefully this isn’t the case but if it is it’s definitely a dark day for Skyrim modding

[@Matt_the_TechRanger]

@@mattdean7461 Probably not. Creation Club has been a bit dormant since the Anniversary Edition came out for Skyrim. I suppose anything is possible but if we pay for mods then that means mod authors will also need to be compensated so I doubt Bethesda would want to go that route. Gets complicated and Bethesda loves modders. You can also download mods from Nexus for free on PC which Bethesda does not own so that would be a can of worms, I think.

@@Matt_the_TechRanger yeah that’s a good point. I hope your right

[@erek3034]

@@mattdean7461 I don’t think so they might add it but I doubt it will replace it probably will be creation club 2.0

Hey everyone! Meant to get this video up over the weekend but my voice was still struggling. UPDATE 23 (12:20 PM EST 12/6): The most recent update from the Bethesda Discord team: “Please find our entire list of changes in our patch notes below: bethesda.net/en/article/4ORD7tshfmHUN8H4ULSgE4/the-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim-special-edition-creations-update-patch-notes More on the next evolution of Creations: bethesda.net/en/article/52xMsb1fD2nTiNBkiWCbxq/build-share-and-find-creations-skyrim-special-edition “ If you want to wait to update then I don't blame ya cause there might be some weirdness. It seems like load orders should be available again but seeing people have issues in the Bethesda Discord. UI/Font mods could be an issue if it affected any of the mod/CC pages previously. Also saw some reports of mods getting moved to the top when they shouldn’t (I.e. USSEP, if you use it, should be at the top). Following the Discord chat is wild. I plan on taking a look at the update tonight and should have something here on the channel the next day or so once things level out if you want to see me go through everything. I'll update this comment again if there is more information today from Bethesda! Comment if you notice Fallout 4 acting wonky (more than usual) Here is the status page as well: status.bethesda.net/en

TY Matt for the information as I didn't receive or see any notifications from Bethesda.

[@Matt_the_TechRanger]

@@OleDirtyMacSanchez 🙏 Hopefully getting the word out more before the maintenance.

[@OleDirtyMacSanchez]

@@Matt_the_TechRanger Any idea on how long it's supposed to be going on? Will it be done by the 3rd of December?

[@Matt_the_TechRanger]

@@OleDirtyMacSanchez I was thinking it’d only be a day but not sure.

[@OleDirtyMacSanchez]

@@Matt_the_TechRanger I wonder how long it'll take Mod Authors to finish with their updates and fixes. Most Mod Authors Probably a week, Smore and Pigness probably a day or two as they were already updating and uploading before all this. Still waiting for DegenerateDak to get back on the horse and get that Attachment Pack going again, it was almost finished just a couple of the weapons were left.

[@IEobard_ThawneI]

I bought annyversary edition like 4 days ago and can't even install the annyversary edition content, amazing luck I have.

[@Matt_the_TechRanger]

Ha yea that stinks. Good news is that it’s a new week. I’ve been following the Discord for updates and people are crazy 😜. I’ll keep on the lookout for anything new. Update: 12/5 might be the day! That is the date they just gave.

[@ahmadali-mw3ov]

I want to start a second playthrough in Skyrim from a modded save file, I don't want to start over, should I clear the storage space first? Why should I do that? !!!

[@Matt_the_TechRanger]

Mods are still down so I wouldn’t touch your mods yet. Clearing reserved space will let you start from scratch with mods though. Loading that modded save with a bunch of new mods could cause some issues. On a fresh save, you should be good. Just hold off until the servers are back up.

[@joshkuempfel9826]

Im a bit confused, so my current fallout 4 load order will still be okay to play as long as i don't change any of it?

[@Matt_the_TechRanger]

Yea you just won’t be able to adjust your list at all on the 29th. So make sure you are solid before then. Should be business as usual after the downtime if you need to make changes.

[@joshkuempfel9826]

@@Matt_the_TechRanger brilliant my load order is all done so I'm glad I'll still be able to play it, was worried it would mess it up 😂

[@Matt_the_TechRanger]

@@joshkuempfel9826 pending any mishaps with the work they’re doing… should be fine 🙏. I would still recommend keeping track of your mods prior to downtime.

[@PleasuredPain]

Bro how can I fix my fallout 4 from crashing so damn much ..

[@Matt_the_TechRanger]

Load order. Conflicting mods. These games will crash but if you play with mods, you want to make sure your load order is solid to minimize it.

[@ladyfox6705]

These games can crash even without mods, sadly. With mods, I've found that FO4 is basically unplayable in the Boston City areas on Xbox. Runs great out of the city though. There are cheat mods to help us navigate directly to downtown areas for quests. I think one is called 'Cheat Hub' or something, it adds a huge room underneath the Sanctuary Bridge. Also there are sewer tunnels that lead to different places, but I found that the Cheat Hubs help the most to avoid having to walk through downtown Boston. Good luck!
