Unlike certain other devs/publishers I don't think Bethesda are dumb enough to think Skyrim would have been so successful for so long if they'd blocked mods.
If there's one company I'm certain values mods very highly, it's Bethesda. Simultaneously it wouldn't surprise me at all if they put in the creation club right from the get go and tried pushing it more. But outright blocking, or hindering the creation of "normal" mods, doesn't seem like something they'd do.
howard, director of the studio is also explicitly pro modding
Bethesda knows what it has, any push towards blocking modding is going to be a decision from higher up (microsoft, zenimax)
