PC players have had their hands on the Fallout 76 beta for a mere nine hours, yet several modders have already figured out how to alter the game.
Over on Nexusmods, a handful of Fallout 76 mods have appeared. The mods range from simple menu alterations to some pretty funky texture changes. One mod by Motherofdeathclaws, for instance, lets players colour their hair any shade they like (even bright purple), while another by Neeher transforms your character’s vault suit from blue to black. Day one of the PC beta and we already have wasteland goths.
If you’re feeling a little confused as to how modders managed to do this so quickly, you’re not alone. At this year’s E3, Bethesda’s Todd Howard said modding support would only arrive after the game’s launch, as the developer wants to focus on creating a “well-running, robust service” first. Hmm. Howard also explained Fallout 76 will let players create mods “in their own private world,” and modding would therefore not be available in the beta.
