UESPWiki:News/Verified Creators Program Launched for Skyrim

Verified Creators Program Launched for Skyrim — December 11, 2023

Skyrim Special Edition received a surprise patch last Tuesday, December 5, 2023. In addition to a host of bug fixes, the main addition has been a reorganization of the Creation Club and Mods menus into a single, unified "Creations" menu. Additionally, Creation Club has been retired in favor of a new Verified Creators program, whereby third party mod authors can apply to become verified and sell their mods in-game via this new menu. Known as Verified Creations, these new offerings bear a strong resemblance to the short-lived Paid Mods program that was launched on Steam in April 2015 for Skyrim's original release. The Verified program has launched with seven initial offerings, although only two of these are available for PlayStation players due to existing modding limitations on that platform. Note that Verified Creations disable achievement progress when enabled and are not included with the Anniversary Edition upgrade.

For the full list of changes included in the patch, see the changelog for Special Edition Patch 1.6.1130.
