Starfield Adds Achievement-Friendly Creations
Alongside some much-needed quality-of-life improvements and the return ofuncapped frame rates forStarfieldon Xbox Series X, Bethesda has also confirmed that creators now have the option to make theirStarfieldmods achievement-friendly. In anew poston the Bethesda website, the studio said that, as of the November update,StarfieldCreations released through the Verified Creators program will have the option to be achievement-friendly, meaning (if enabled by the creator) mods downloaded viaStarfieldCreations will no longer block achievements from being earned by the player. Unfortunately, Bethesda did state that achievements will not retroactively unlock on previous game saves with Creations, even if those Creations have now been made achievement-friendly by the mod’s creator.
Back in June, Bethesda released the highly anticipated Creations program forStarfield. While it wasn’t available at launch, fans were patiently awaiting its arrival after the studio’s previous titles, such asThe Elder Scrolls V: SkyrimandFallout 4, both received the same Creations program. Unfortunately, its eventual release earlier this year didn’t go down too well with fans as manyblastedStarfield’s Creations for being too expensive. Even months later, players still believe that many of the official Bethesda creations are priced too high, with some short quests costing around $7, while other quests are even charged per mission.
Starfield’s Creation storedoes, however, offer both free and paid mods, so not every player has to part ways with their cash to get in on the action. And with achievement-friendly mods now being opened up to all creators, fans will likely be more inclined to check out some of the amazing Creations on the store. Over on Reddit, fans are already praising Bethesda for the latest update, withone usercalling it an “awesome update” andanother statingthat the lack of achievement-friendly mods was previously preventing them from checking out specific Creations.
