About this image

CC = Cration Club files

With the basic installation of Fallout 4 + all DLC's these 26 cc files are installed with. By the date they recognize that it is a fresh new installation on a new PC.

Until now I thought it was additional content that would be unlocked at some point in the game, for example to give the Pip-Boy at the workbench a new look. But to this day, nothing has changed about the workbench on the Pip-Boy.

Then I did some googling and found out what these cc files are. CC stands for Creation Club, where you can get new mods for more money.

So for me, the 26 files shown in the picture in the basic installation are just file corpses that I can't use at all unless I buy the necessary *.esp or *.esl, if I understand correctly.

If I delete these 26 items and restart Steam in online mode, these files (537 MB) will automatically be transferred back to my PC since they are part of the base installation to keep my Fallout 4 up to date, correct?

In the installtion package I found no help description regarding these cc files and how the user should handle them. ☺

    You already tested it. But just my two cents: I deleted them just because I got mad at them. Never caused me any trouble though. Just so many GBs of junk unless you use CC. I always play off-line so I was not ambushed by Steam installing them again :D On another note - GOG just came out with a version which is DRM free. As far as I know that means you can install it independently of Steam.

      I am not and have never been signed up or registered with this CC. I do not like such dubious business models.

      When I buy a package, I want to be able to fully use its content and not find additional but incomplete content for which you have to pay again if you want to use it.

      Imagine you buy a safe for real and in the safe you find an additional, small locked compartment, but you don't have a key for it. And when you call the seller, he charges you an extra fee for the key if you want to use the locker.

      In real life, such a business model would not work, but online it probably does.

    There is a steam article on how to safely remove all CC content. I'll try and find it.

      Thanks for your information and the link, although as described above, I'm afraid that if I delete the files, they will be transferred back to the folder when I open Steam in online mode again, since these files are part of the basic installation. I will delete them now and see what happens.
