Bethesda has released patch notes for the Fallout 1.5 patch, which is now available for all as part of a Steam beta opt-in, along with some more information about mods and the Creation Kit. Though both Bethesda.net mods and the Creation Kit are in a closed beta, Bethesda hopes to have official support for mods coming soon for the 1.5 beta, with console support for mods coming later. It’s long been speculated that the Bethesda.net platform for mods will be how such mods are delivered to the consoles, though it looks to be some time yet before we know for sure.
Also in this patch are a number of bugfixes, and some changes to Survival mode. Any avid player of a more realistic version of Fallout 4 should be warned that previous characters in Survival mode are not compatible with this latest update.
Fallout 4 – 1.5 Update
Along with support for our upcoming add-on, Far Harbor, and additional gameplay optimizations, the 1.5 Update – now available as a Beta on Steam — features the revamped Survival Mode which incorporates a number of changes based on beta feedback. Thanks again to all those who participated! In the coming weeks, 1.5 – complete with Survival Mode – will be released on Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
Also in development, Creation Kit and Bethesda.net Mods are still in closed beta. We hope to add Support for Mods to the 1.5 Steam Beta soon with console support for Mods coming in updates that follow. Stay tuned to Bethesda.net and the forums for when those updates will go live.
Please note that we strongly advise players running third party mod managers to back up saves and disable/uninstall them before opting into the Beta, until they have been updated to support the new changes from the 1.5 Update.
