I could have sworn as a Warlock you get a Patron at level 1.
I cannot for the life of me find out how you pick it though or where.
In character creation I couldn't find it. I did find an old reddit post that said go to manage->manage levels. In there I see:
Core Warlock Traits - which has Aas a level 1 character etc. Eldritch Invocation Pact Magic - there is no option in it to do anything just says you basically get spells.
I own PHB, Tasha, and Xanthar, thought there were a few in there to pick from. Or am I just mixing up something here?

You're creating a character using the 2024 version of the Warlock class from the 2024 Player's Handbook. In the 2024 rules, all classes get their subclass selection at level 3, including Warlocks. (A Warlock's patron is their subclass.)
If you want to create a character using the old version of the Warlock class that gets its subclass selection at level 1, you'll need to select that instead of the 2024 one on the Class tab. You may need to scroll down to find it. If it's not there, make sure "2014 Rules" is checked on the Home tab.
That said, if you're creating this character to use in an actual game, check with the DM to see whether you should be using 2014 or 2024 rules.

Wait a darn tootin minute... are Patron's now "Subclass" selected at level 3?
Patron's were always subclasses and yes all subclasses got moved to level 3 on all classes.
