The Xbox mod support for Bethesda's "Fallout 4" has just been launched recently, but it's already facing an issue with stolen mods.

Reports have surfaced about stolen "Fallout 4" PC mods appearing on the Xbox One version. The NCR Ranger Veteran Armor, one of DogtoothCG's mods, was included in the Spawn Items mod. After a few email exchanges, the item was removed and was passed off as an "accident", PC Gamer reports.

Another modder, DDProductions83 has complained after finding his creation on the Xbox One "Fallout 4" Mod Workshop. Instead of apologizing, however, the said user, GamerAim, even called him a "PC elitist", and said that he uploaded the modder's creation on Xbox One "in retaliation", Eurogamer reports.

The uploader has since apologized to DDProductions83, according to a follow-up report from Eurogamer.

It caused a panic among the PC modding community, with other modders hiding their creations so no one can copy them and upload them on Xbox One.

Bethesda has advised the "Fallout 4" mod creators whose work has been stolen to formally file a Digital Millennium Copyright Act takedown request. There are a number of steps to take when filing for DMCA, which can be found on Bethesda's website.

While the modding community is appreciative of Bethesda's swift response and acknowledgement of their rights, many still feel that filing a DMCA takes a lot of time and effort on the creator's part. Since DMCA's are a legal matter, the mod creators would need to file a legal document with Bethesda's parent company ZeniMax.

Some modders are not pleased with Bethesda's advice. They said that it's the uploaders, not the mod creators, who should be made to prove that the work is theirs, and not the other way around, according to Endgadget.

"Bethesda has literally chosen to temporarily side with mod thieves until an author can prove a mod hosted on their site is stolen," forum user Trykz wrote. "That burden should fall on the uploader. Just like it does everywhere else."
