Why do Mods disable achievements? There are so many bugs in this game (since the original version) and you don`t fix any of them. Or have you ever played the game with this stupid inventory? I don`t think so.

You had the big chance to release a good SE without bugs and a big game improvement but what have you done? Nothing only 64 bit and shaders (great work).

I`m so disappointed. And the best thing is. You don`t care about your community because you disable achievements if we use mods.

You know the community has to fix each of your games, because you don`t do it. And you punish them with disabling achievements.

Well done.... Well done....

It is a condition to get mods on the Consoles. No one is going to check each mod to make sure that it does not give someone an advantage to get an achievement. Not only they would have to test it when it is uploaded but also when it gets updated. Sometimes a mod author might accidentally add something that does give someone an advantage. the 32 bit version of Skyrim has over 50k mods and likely in a few months there are going to be thousands of mods for Xbox One and somewhat less on the PS4.

Achievements have a meaning for Xbox and PS4 and it is best that everyone plays the game in a vanilla state.

The primary answer is that a mod can simply award every achievement there is, without the player doing anything. So with mods, they're meaningless.

welcome to the world of mods.

Before they ended up on the console, no one cared.

But when mods became available for Fallout 4 on the console, all achievements were disabled. Because no one can possibly check all mods for "unfair single player advantage" the use of ANY mod does this. Makes no sense to me. I don't play for the achievements. Still it was nice to get them. Oh well.

Do I want mods or achievements? Mods any day of the week.

It still amazes me that people would rather have achievements, than simply enjoy the game with the wonders of modding.

To be fair, I use my achievements list to see what I've done before. With Civilization, for instance, it tells me what civs I've played as.

You could have one character that plays with no mods and get achievements and another that plays with mods. Just have to make sure that the unmodified character does not load a game with mods. As far as I know as soon as you get the achievement it is there for good.

I guess I get that. It's the ones that buy a game only to unlock the achievements, and then never play it again that I truly don't understand.

I never saw the appeal in achievements personally.. I play games to have fun and enjoy my free time, not for "instant gratification" pop-ups for every other button i click, but maybe thats because I have been gaming long before they were ever a thing..




but yeah, a single mod could potentially give you every achievement out there on startup, and Bethesda will neither check every single thing a mod changes or give a mod preferential treatment.. so if you want mods, accept you won't get achievements and visa versa..


what all these "but achievements!" threads sort of show me is the average PC gamer is more different than the Average Console gamer than I first thought, personality wise anyways. since as far as the PC side of the community goes, I have never seen people make such a fuss about achievements before (not meant as an insult or to be rude is any way, to each their own you know? just an observation)

Achievements? Never even give them a thought. Actually I do. In Morrowind and Oblivion I've used screenshots to create my own acheivement awards. A folder of trophies if you will, that includes slain named villians, so called bosses, monsters and recovered quest items. Means nothing to anyone else but for me it is fun to browse through now and then. Started adding pics from Skyrim this year now that I started playing the game.

I play my PC version offline so I am blissfully unaware of Achievements.

You might as well play the game all the way through in its "vanilla" state first, then do another playthrough with all of the mods your heart desires.

I've never cared for achievements unless they unlock in-game content ala Bayonetta. That said, it does seem kind of silly to turn achievements off for mod users. Who cares if someone downloads an infinity +1 sword mod and cheeses their way through all the questlines to unlock the trophies? If that's how they want to play, that's their business.

I prefer Achievements that are actually achievements, not the milestone system they tend to use in most games as metric data.

Browse the Achievement List for Paradox's Crusader Kings II to see what I mean. (The Black Bishop is probably one I'll go for next go round. Course, the British Raj could be fun too)
