Skyrim Switch won't be getting any mods or the Creation Club anytime soon

Even though the Creation Club is on other consoles, the Switch won't be getting it anytime soon. Todd Howard said:

"Skyrim Switch has a big community that we haven't supported the way we'd like." ...."They asked for mods," .... "they asked for Creation Club - 'When are we getting more stuff?'"

Eurogamer asked Todd what he was going to do to fix it, and he replied:

"Right now we're doing nothing," .... "People, they're on other things. Our Switch group did Fallout Shelter ... and that's done really well. I'm surprised at how well it's done."

Eurogamer asked if he would bring mods to Skyrim on the Switch and Todd replied:

"We are not actively doing that," .... "We would love to see it happen but it's not something we're actively doing."

Surprise.

Switch gets overpriced watered down ports.

It’s because switch has terrible online and a ton of hardware flaws.

The switch would constantly crash if it tried to use mods lol

Pay more for less.

Oh no, the creation club.

Of course it won't as Switch is an after thought.....

I thought about re-buying Skyrim again just to play it on the go despite I own it on PC with mods. I change my mind and wasted 300 hours of my lifetime already, I'm too old to go through that again.

Yeah I'm not paying top dollars for a modless game.

Oh no, lacking Creation Club. Whatever shall I do...

Besides, mods on consoles are super-limited anyway and I never thought the Switch would get it for obvious reasons.

Still better than the PS3 and XBOX 360 versions.

@nintendoboy16: Let's have a round of applause for the Switch being capable of outdoing last generation consoles.

@uninspiredcup: Pretty much. It is the price you pay for gaming on the Switch.

I'm sure somehow Sony is to blame for this.

One of those last gen versions having a more broken version, mind you.

I find it hilarious that we slam the Switch version of Skyrim because it lacks something EVERYONE hates (Creation Club). What do you think Tatsunoko vs Capcom is a piece of s*** because it didn't follow Capcom's horrible DLC schemes (granted it couldn't because it was on the Wii, but still)?

switch is mostly designed for kids

@nintendoboy16: It's not getting mod support. Something other, cheaper versions have, whilst performing and looking better.

Nintendo loses.

It's a handheld version, which will as of this time, NEVER be as powerful for something like mods (hell, consoles are struggling with it as is). What were you expecting? And again, it's being dogged for missing Creation Club, which is again, being slammed for being a con by Bethesda. And for the latter alone... yeah, says a LOT about how you feel abut Nintendo now (then again, you even said you'd rather them dead).

@nintendoboy16: I don't see it as a handheld version. Docked or not isn't of importance.

Nice cow thread.

10/10.

Meanwhile no one else cares.

How is the Switch not clearly a...

I wasn't expecting mods to come anyway, given the hardware. Having Skyrim on the go is cool enough already. :)

@nintendoboy16: Stop responding to me. THANKS

what im scratching my head over is why isnt TES blades coming to the switch? its designed with mobile in mind. the switch should be well able to run it. it seems like the switch would be a nice spot for it.

....assuming the game isnt complete crap of course. hopefully they deliver a good game.

Of course those versions are broken, all Bethesda games are. I'm not the biggest fan of Ubisoft, and Ubisoft did deserve it, but I felt a little bad for them when they got raked over the coals for their broken game, while Bethesda is treated like a game god despite theirs.

> A game made by Bethesda

> A game running well

Pick one.

The term "more broken"? Jeez louise.

Besides, I've seen far worse than what Bethesda had to offer with broken games.

I'm ok with it. I put 150 hours into the game on switch. Bring me fallout 4 now.

With the way Nintendo locks down things, was anyone really surprised?

....

Its a protable console, with limited hardware.

Why are people expecting different?

@DragonfireXZ95: Locks down what? What does Nintendo have to do with a Bethesda game?

That's what I've been saying. But of course, the most known anti-Nintendo posters still harp on "why Nintendo sucks" and how "sheep are owned" because of it.

It's funny because console mods are rare as hell except Bethesda.... in which case thier modding is limited by hardware and is largely inferior to PC modding...

YEt they churp up when an even weaker machine has the same problems.

Alot of the people posting are the same idiots that say "mods are bad" anyway... literally shit posting for the hell of it.

Stuff should of been banned a long time ago.

No shit. Console modding is limited as all hell.

Perhaps Nintendo isn't locking anything down(like their voice chat and friend system), but I doubt they are helping the situation. Do you think Nintendo is taking time out of their day to talk to Bethesda about getting the creation club implemented?

I play games as intended. Don't care about MODS.

And the odd thing is, missing Creation Club which was panned anyway, which again, might as well say this game sucks because it didn't add Capcom's DLC shams.

Not only that, it doesn't help Skyrim Switch version to be charging $60 when it's almost 7 years old now.

True, I guess... Though I dunno exactly how much man-power went into the port, and what the port cost. Probably a lot less, but it's Bethesda.

I love when gamer's think they know what something should cost. Because zero man power went into the port and all that labor is free.

Is seems like it with the lack of mods, assets and optimization. But it is Nintendo 3rd part after all, it's to be expected.

@Bread_or_Decide: It could have been $20/$30 and sorry but Skyrim for $60 on a 7 year old game (well late port on a Nintendo console) sounds like robbery to me. But hey, it's anyone's money, so don't let me stop you or anyone else.

It's not Nintendo. Bethesda would have called them out like they did with Sony. It's Bethesda not caring since they didn't think the Switch version would do well, so it wasn't a priority to them.

$60 for any Bethesda game is robbery. They're full of bugs. Though for some reason gamers excuse their bugs while raking other companies *cough* Ubisoft *cough* over the coals for them.

That's rare. Freedom freak having a meltdown again in Nintendo topic.

On topic : bit expensive for old game which had more bugs than a entomologist, I was put off back in the Day because of it.

Oh no Skyrim on Switch not getting the shitty paid mod service no one likes.

Not to mention the tablet hardware would struggle to even run the game well with mods on top of the game.

Nintendo themselves.....you know the company that designed, engineered and made it call it a console.

It's sold as a console.

It's marketed as a console.

Only butt hurt Nintendo fans call it a handheld as a means to try to justify how shitty and under powered it is.

Pay more get to play it anywhere. My Ps4 pro does not travel well, my vita gets no Sony support, and if I took my X-box one out of the house, I would be afraid to drop in on a small child and kill him/her lol.

lol at Sony fans who think that anything compares to the mod community on PC. At least the Switch version is portable. The Ps4 version is inferior to the PC version in every way imaginable.

Could you be any more insecure and butt hurt

It would be cool to have mods on the Switch but this isn't surprising.

Hard to be insecure or butt hurt when you own all of the consoles. I love my Ps4 pro, still does not make Cow logic make any more sense. I know facts are hard. PC version and mod community utterly destroys the miniscule offerings of the Ps4 version of Skyrim.

The best part of owning all of the consoles is that you can look at all things objectively. For example I will be getting the Ps4 pro version of Dragon Quest 11 when it comes out and avoiding the Steam version or the Switch version. Why? The Ps4 version will come out day one with no issues and the PC version will be glitched to hell for a few weeks as all of SE games are. The Switch version will not come out for a year so why even think about getting that one.

Same logic can be applied to Skyrim. PC version has more mods and a WAY better modding community. PC version looks far better with a high end PC (I have one). So why would anyone brag about the inferior PS4 version?

I know logic is hard for fanyboys.
