Fallout 4's August 18 Update Touches Creations, and Bethesda Says Back Up Your Load Order First

Bethesda is pushing a Fallout 4 update on August 18 focused on Creations, the game's paid and free mod platform. The studio is warning players to log in and load a save, or manually save their mod load order, before updating, because they may need to re-download their full Creations list once it goes live. Bethesda says a Skyrim update is also in the works, with details to come.
