Fallout 4

Fallout 4 - Mods Open Beta for PC Available Now

Mods and the players who create them have always been an important part of our games, going all the way back to Morrowind and The Elder Scrolls Construction Set. We believe that our games become something much more special, when we put the power of creation in your hands. New quests, environments, characters, dialogue, outfits, weapons and more – with Mods, the possibilities of what you can do are endless. You are creating new experiences that enhance and take our games into amazing and surprising new directions.

For Fallout 4, our goal was to make Mods easier and more accessible than ever before – for both the creators and the players. By building an all-new system with Bethesda.net we’ve made a huge leap forward in achieving that.

You can now browse and search for the latest and greatest Mods, choose your favorites, post feedback, and install them – all within the game. Simply select Mods from the main menu, and start browsing.

If you want to try making Mods (and we think everybody should), the Creation Kit – the same tool that we used to create Fallout 4 – is a free download via the Bethesda.net launcher. You can check out the Creation Kit Wiki, our online documentation and help file, for more details and tips on how to make them.

We plan to update and evolve Mods and the Creation Kit based on your experiences so be sure to leave feedback in our forums.

How to access the 1.5 Update in Steam Beta:

Log into Steam
Right Click on Fallout 4 in your Library
Select Settings
Select Betas
A drop down menu will appear. Select beta
Select OK
Wait a few minutes and Fallout 4 should update
When done, Fallout 4 should appear as Fallout 4 [Beta] in your Library

For console players, Mods will be coming to Xbox One in May and PlayStation 4 in June. We have a lot to do yet, but we hope it changes console gaming the way it has changed PC.

Finally, we’d like to thank all the Modders who volunteered to beta test the Creation Kit and Mods during our closed beta. Your feedback has been invaluable and we couldn’t have done it without you. For them and for all our players, we can’t wait to see what you create.

Starting today, Fallout 4's 1.5 update is public for all users on Steam.

Along with support for our upcoming add-on, Far Harbor, and additional gameplay optimizations, the 1.5 Update features the revamped Survival Mode which incorporates a number of changes based on beta feedback. Thanks again to all those who participated! The update is live for everyone on Steam and we anticipate it coming to consoles next week.

Also in development, Creation Kit and Bethesda.net Mods are still in open beta on PC. Our current plan is to make Mods available on Xbox One in May -- starting with a beta -- and bring Mods to PlayStation 4 in June.

I cannot put any more cards on the body, which will not de-spawn, as it says I cannot remove quest items from my inventory. Similarly, the Silver Shroud armor is also un-put-downable.

It happened so long ago that I've given up on re-loading my old save. Only a patch can save me now.

Are you sure you put it on the body properly? When he says to put it on the body, they don't mean go into your inventory and transfer it, rather after you kill the guy, when you look at his body you will have the option of putting the card on it by pressing a button, just like how there is a button to open up the inventory.

Putting the card on the body was done via the prompt, not an inventory-to-inventory transfer. That prompt no longer appears.

Yeah and after that you turn on the radio and hear the news, and then you get the next mission.
