Mods that don't require the various script extenders work on Bethesda games on Gamepass, but sadly alot of the best mods require the script extenders, which is why I ended up grabbing Fallout 3, NV, and 4 on Steam while they were on sale thanks to the show.

I have a Z1 Extreme I could play it on as well. Can you mid GP games like that if on a PC ot does it have to be a non GP version?

PC Gamepass used to not work with mods at all, because Xbox didn't give you access to the game file folders, but they added the ability to access the file folders at some point. So you should be able to install a fair few mods on PC Gamepass these days. But like I said, the main issue with Bethesda games at least is that Script Extenders don't work with the Xbox Store versions of games, which PC Gamepass uses, and many of the best mods for Bethesda Games need script extenders like FOSE, NVSE, and SKSE. 

For the older Bethesda games like Oblivion, Fallout 3, and New Vegas, you will need to search for mods that don't require OBSE (Oblivion), FOSE (Fallout 3), or NVSE (New Vegas). As for the more recent Bethesda games, Skyrim and Fallout 4 have official in-game mod stores and all mods on the in-game mods stores are those that don't require script extenders, so in-game modding will work on PC Gamepass. Only issue is that you will have to learn how to build out your mod load order to prevent conflicts, which is pretty tricky.
