Skyrim Mod:Verified Creator Program

The Verified Creator Program features 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 name. Mod authors may apply to be admitted into the Verified Creator Program. If they are accepted, they may submit their Creations to Bethesda's vetting process and await their verification. Users may purchase Creations released through the Verified Creator Program using Creation Credits, and the authors will receive royalties for 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 official microtransactional content commissioned by Bethesda, whereas the Verified Creator Program features third party mods 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 Creator Program Creations are not included with the Anniversary Edition. Verified Creator Program 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

• Bethesda has been involved in the development process of Creations released through the Verified Creator Program, such as discussing lore and providing support, including QA.
• Bethesda has been working on adding an Achievement Friendly option for Skyrim's Verified Creator Program Creations. The "Silent Moons Weapons" Creation, released on April 26, 2024, indicated it would not disable achievements. Bethesda confirmed this was unintentional and that they were still working to implement this feature properly. The indication was later removed from the "Silent Moons Weapons" Creation. The "Classic Dialogue Menu" Creation, released on June 27, 2024, was the first Creation after "Silent Moons Weapons" to indicate it does not disable achievements. Despite this indicator, it still disabled achievements. The indication was later removed from the "Classic Dialogue Menu" Creation as well.
• 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 the Verified Creator Program.
• Bethesda initially made frequent use of the term "Verified Creation" to refer to a Creation released through the Verified Creator Program. However, they stated in October 2024 that they have "corrected" their usage to never use the term since June 2024.
• A Verified Creator for Starfield received permission from Bethesda to make an Elder Scrolls-themed Creation for the game titled Ashlander Living.
