It seems that official mod support is no longer underway forFallout 76as Bethesda confirms that it “won’t happen” at any point.
“We are definitely still working on mod support,” project lead Jeff Gardinerexplained. “It’s coming.” The developer described how the studio “had to put a lot of resources” into mod support, and they were definitely “working on it” so players should “stay tuned.” Sadly, it looks like this no longer rings true - at least, according to a newinterviewbetween Bethesda and Windows Central. When asked whether fans could eventually see mod support come to fruition one day in Fallout 76, devs delved into why they “don’t officially support mods.”

After spending years with her head in various fantastical realms' clouds, Anna studied English Literature and then Medieval History at the University of Edinburgh, going on to specialize in narrative design and video game journalism as a writer. She has written for various publications since her postgraduate studies, including Dexerto, Fanbyte, GameSpot, IGN, PCGamesN, and more. When she’s not frantically trying to form words into coherent sentences, she’s probably daydreaming about becoming a fairy druid and befriending every animal or she’s spending a thousand (more) hours traversing the Underdark in Baldur’s Gate 3. If you spot her away from her PC, you’ll always find Anna with a fantasy book, a handheld video game console of some sort, and a Tamagotchi or two on hand.
