Unlike traditional mods, Creation Club content is developed by Bethesda in collaboration with external creators and internal studios. These aren't just amateur projects; they are fully localized, voiced, and tested to meet console certification standards.
To buy items, players had to purchase "Creation Club Credits" with real money, which could be spent on individual items or bundled packs. The cost of items typically ranged from 50 to 400 credits. For context, credits were sold in packs: 750 credits for $7.99, 1,500 for $14.99, up to 5,500 for $39.99. Notably, your credit balance was shared between Skyrim Special Edition and Fallout 4 on PC and Xbox One, but not on PlayStation 4. skyrim special edition creation club content
