Skyrim Mod:Verified Creations

Verified Creations are Creations for Skyrim Special Edition that have been vetted and approved for sale by Bethesda Game Studios. The Bethesda Game Studios Verified Creator Program was introduced on December 5, 2023, coinciding with the release of Special Edition Patch 1.6.1130 which combined mods and Creation Club Creations under one "Creations" menu and denomination. Mod authors may apply to be admitted into the Verified Creator Program. If they are, they may submit their Creations to Bethesda's vetting process and await its verification. Users may purchase Verified Creations using Creation Credits and the author will receive royalties on each sale.

The Verified Creator Program may be seen as a development of the Creation Club. The primary difference is that Creation Club Creations were commissioned by Bethesda, whereas Verified Creations are approved by Bethesda. Verified Creators are not hired or contracted, which opens the opportunity to more people. The difference in the payment of the author is that they receive royalties instead of being paid for completing a contract, which means the profit is more closely correlated with the success of the Creation.

Unlike Creation Club Creations, Verified Creations are not included with the Anniversary Edition. Verified Creations are not as restricted when it comes to asset use and may utilize voiced dialogue. As a result, some Verified Creations are not available on PlayStation due to the restrictions on third party mods on that platform.

Notes

• There were mentions of a new marketplace in test files of Skyrim on the Steam database, released in December 2022 and January 2023, long before the announcement of Verified Creations.
• The Silent Moons Weapons Verified Creation, released on April 26, 2024, indicated it would not disable achievements. Bethesda confirmed this was unintentional and that they are still working to implement this feature properly.
