If you are having trouble accessing or logging into the Creations menu in game:

  • Check the Bethesda Support Twitter account to see if there are any planned maintenances or outages.
  • Try using [SHIFT] instead of [CAPS LOCK] when entering capitalized letters.
  • Verify username and password details by signing in to your Bethesda.net account here.
    • If you have forgotten your username, select Forgot Username from the sign in page.
    • If you have forgotten your password, select Forgot Password from the sign in page.
  • Make sure you are connected to a stable network.
    • If you are connected to the internet via wireless, try switching to a wired connection and see if there is any improvement.
    • Reboot your home network by power cycling your modem and / or router.
