Here’s your first look at Fallout 4's in-game modding tools. Soon, everyone will be able to enjoy the wonders of a wasteland full of Thomas The Tank Engines and naked vault dwellers. Hooray.


According to Bethesda, console players will be able to enjoy mods on Xbox One in May and PlayStation 4 in June—which is pretty soon!

Players on PC can actually download a beta for the modding tools now. Here’s how:

Log into Steam

Right Click on Fallout 4 in your Library

Select Settings

Select Betas

A drop down menu will appear. Select beta

Select OK

Wait a few minutes and Fallout 4 should update

When done, Fallout 4 should appear as Fallout 4 [Beta] in your Library

With these tools, players will be able to create all sorts of things, from quests, environments, dialogue, outfits and more. Better yet, Fallout 4 will have an in-game interface that will allow you to sort through all the offerings, bookmarking and favoriting as you please:
