Bethesda launcher sunset impact on CK install/updates

[SKKmods]

With the announcement of SUNSETTING THE BETHESDA.NET LAUNCHER & MIGRATING TO STEAM I am sure that we CK users are interested to learn how we will start new installations (or even update lol & etc) the Fallout 4 Creation Kit after April 2022.

 

Will it be lost in time (like tears in the rain), published on Steam, made a standalone installer download ?

 

No info yet, this is a placeholder to start the panic :pirate:

 

Bet place for info will be the Bethesda Discord Modding general channel https://discord.gg/vKY7dW32 where the question has been asked already: "VaultOfDaedalus — Nothing I can share right now, but more specific FAQ answers will come down the line before it* sunsets"

 

(*) infer the launcher, not CK

Since the CK runs standalone without the launcher, best to just back up the exe in case of later silliness:)

Does the CK add/modify Windows registry entities? Many programs do
