A restricted number of users had a chance to try the official Creation Kit for Fallout 4 for a couple of weeks this month, but now the number of people is going to increase exponentially, given Bethesda has opened up the beta version of its Creation Kit and Fallout 4's integrated mod management implementation on PC. Here's a video showcasing some of the early work of the community and the current state of things, with comments from various Bethesda developers including game director Todd Howard:
And a short excerpt with some concrete details from the official website:
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.
Do note that, to get access to the Creation Kit and the integrated mod management features, you'll have to make an account on Bethesda.net. I expect this (and the fact that Bethesda is unlikely to host pornography) will keep the inevitable Nexus spin-off website and software alive and well.
