  "account": "Bethesda announced updates for both Fallout 4 and Skyrim on August 14th, just as users had finished modding Skyrim for the first time in months. The Fallout 4 patch is set to arrive on August 18th, focusing on general Creations improvements. In anticipation, Bethesda advises players to save their game and load order, allowing them to download all their mod list in one go once the update is live. Players are cautioned to be cautious, as mods that rely on script extenders may require updating, such as those adding new animations and interface overhauls like SkyUI. Bethesda suggests updating script extenders promptly, as they usually follow the release of the new game version. For modders who have abandoned their projects, players might be left without certain mods. Those who wish to avoid updates can disable automatic game updates. Bethesda also provides guides on how to disable updates specifically for Fallout 4. Modders are advised to wait a few days after the update before checking for updates to their own mods.",
  "summary": "Right, just a couple more location overhauls and there we go. A fresh Skyrim load order created for my first modded toe-dip into Tamriel for quite a while, outside of grabbing the odd article image. Phew, now to relax and sink another 50 hou-wait. Fallout 4 and Skyrim updates are inbound, say Bethesda? Well, that would be my luck, wouldn't it? Read more",
