Bethesda seems to be headed straight for another fiasco with their Creation Club, quite similar to how the Paid Mods Workshop went years ago. It didn't help that a lot of the content available from the get-go were things that you, for the most part, could find equivalents for in the already existing mod circuit—oftentimes free and better of quality. Methinks this is to create a habit to check for whats free this week and maybe you will buy something. They cannot sell anything if you don't look. I have maybe 10 of the free things, but I still have my initial 100 free credits that I have not spent.:) They also can't sell people their crap if people perposly never get the creation club patch. Bethesda's Creation Club FAQ asks itself 'Is Creation Club paid mods?' It also answers itself: No. In related news, today I paid for $15 worth of mods from the not-paid-mods Creation Club store to. Now that Creation Club is live, gamers can purchase the content via the in-game digital marketplaces in Fallout 4. Unlike mods, content from Creation Club creators (which again includes Bethesda.

Creation Club is a system of microtransactions designed by Bethesda Game Studios for its games Fallout 4 and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim – Special Edition. The system was launched for Fallout 4 on August 29, 2017.^[1]

Despite being described by critics as 'paid mods',^[2]^[3] Bethesda has disputed this, as the content was made by independent creators using funding from Bethesda.^[4] Journalists reported that Creation Club content was being automatically downloaded to players' hard drives, regardless of whether the players had purchased the content, which Bethesda said they were looking at how to fix.^[5]^[6]

Reception

At launch, Creation Club was criticized for the content being too similar to free mods, and the requirement to purchase in-game credits with real-world currency.^[4]^[7]

A number of modders supported the system, however, due to its 'improved quality control process' and the fact that existing mods cannot be stolen and sold by others.^[3]

Legal Issues

The Creation Club is the instigating factor behind a class-action lawsuit filed on behalf of Fallout 4 customers against Bethesda Softworks and ZeniMax Media in 2019 over questionable business practices involving the handling of DLC content for the game's Season Pass. The suit asserted that the Season Pass was supposed to contain the totality of Fallout 4 downloadable content (DLC) for a single price, but the introduction of the Creation Club in 2017 reneged on that promise as Season Pass holders would be forced to purchase the Creation Club content to gain access to any additional Bethesda-made content.

During the suit's litigation in court, ZeniMax and Microsoft had announced plans to acquire ZeniMax, which was anticipated to close by June 2021. The plaintiffs in the case sought a preliminary injunction to block the acquisition as to prevent Microsoft from shielding ZeniMax's assets should they be found liable in the case, which is expected to be heard in 2022.^[8]

Doki Doki Literature Club has become something of a phenomenon.

While the game is presented as a typical anime dating simulator with your cute characters and run of the mill love story, the game is anything but ordinary.

Once you’ve experienced it for yourself, I’m sure you’ll know exactly what I mean. And if you’ve played it enough that you want something new, well, let’s get to modding.

Luckily there are tons of mods that expand or even change the story for us, giving plenty of replay value.

Do note though that since Doki Doki is a story-heavy game, it’s quite difficult to explain these mods without spoiling anything – so consider this your spoiler warning.

30. Monika After Story

As soon as you jump into Doki Doki, you’re quickly going to realize that the game is mostly about getting to know each of the four girls in the after-school literature club and hopefully fall in love with at least one of them.

How the story plays out relies heavily on which on the four you favor – so you can imagine how varied opinions are going to be depending on the player of the game.

If you happen to fall in love with Monika, Monika’s After Story is a great mod to try if you’re looking to extend past the game’s ending.

The allows you to spend the rest of your days with Monika, letting you talk for hours with a completely customized dialogue system, and even different games like pong or listen to some music together.

29. Monika Before Story

While you’re mostly in control of who among the four girls you end up being with, one of the biggest criticisms that disappointed fans was the lack of a Monika route offered in the base game.

Lingvo for mac os torrents. While the Monika After Story mod lets you spend the rest of your days with Monika after all the events of the storyline, Monika Before Story changes the storyline to accommodate more possibilities.

The mod sees you as the president of the club, while Monika takes the place of your childhood best friend instead of Sayori.

The mod opens up a host of new decisions to make that affect how your story will unfold, eventually leading up to one of ten different possible endings.

28. The Yuri Parable

Of course, Monika isn’t the only character in the game – and I’m sure you have your own favorites.

This next mod focuses instead on Yuri’s story, which mostly appears less interesting than that of the other girls in the club.

Modder Animystix puts it perfectly in his description:

“This is the story of a girl named Yuri. Yuri was a schoolgirl like any other; she would go to classes, have lunch, and meet with her friends in the literature club. While she didn’t deem her life as particularly exciting, it was interesting enough for her. After all, she had plenty of things to do: Expand her knife collection, try new types of tea, and explore the world of poetry. At this point, it didn’t matter what Yuri’s future held for her, or how her past treated her. What matters is that Yuri… was happy.

But then one day, something peculiar happened…”

The mod is also based on The Stanley Parable, which was another surprise hit from back in 2013.

27. SayoriDate

With this next mod, we’re seeing yet another focus shift – this time to your childhood best friend Sayori.

Taking a much more in depth look at Sayori’s life, the mod actually sees Sayori asking you out on a date.

With the mod focusing on your relationship with Sayori, it can’t help but be asked – will you finally be able to make her happy?

As you’re probably familiar with Doki Doki’s storyline by now, the added focus on Sayori might mean a deeper relation to mental health as well. So I wouldn’t expect this to be as easygoing as you might think.

26. Sayori Says No To Suicide

In case you’re looking for a more lighthearted S
