Bethesda were kind enough to release their Skyrim Creation Kit last week, with the key word there being "last week". In just under a weeks time, the Skyrim Creation Kit has allowed users around the world to release over 2,500 mods already, with those mods seeing a very tidy two million-plus downloads.

People are definitely loving the Skyrim mods, and if this is how it gets treated a week into its life... imagine 3-6 months from now. Could this be the edge Skyrim needs to catapult it into a new stratosphere of success? It seems so, with the modding community so strong, this is why the PC will never die.

It seems as though Bethesda know how to please their fans, and with the thousands of mods being created, well, every week, it should be interesting to see where this goes when it comes to future game announcements from Bethesda. Will the next Elder Scrolls outing involve more of the community? Will there be a stand-out modder who gets scooped up by Bethesda? I think we'll see that in the coming months.
