Although they aren't fleshed out like on PC, due to technological limitations, they still make significant improvements and welcome additions to gameplay. If you can't afford a PC, but happen to have Skyrim for PS4, you should still take advantage of the mods released for this port. RELATED: The Biggest Skyrim Mods Ever Made (By File Size) This basically lets you have a taste of the endless fun PC players have with crazy mods that can add virtually anything to Skyrim. Among the quality of life changes implemented by Bethesda, support for user-created mods is definitely the most exciting feature to be found in the game. Otherwise the mod scene is probably going to be abysmal.The re-release of Skyrim on previous-gen consoles isn't just a pointless remaster that makes the game look a bit prettier, although it sure accomplishes that. So anyway yeah you are probably going to have to flip consoles, or play the game on the open platform. By publicly shaming them, and placing the blame squarely on them. Has a lot to do with Bethesda deciding to do a little scorched earth on them. I mean the only reason the game will be getting what little mod support it is going to get. This probably flows from Japanese culture itself, and to understand it you would probably need to talk to someone from Japan.

There doesn't seem to be any appreciation of the concept of fair use, or the idea of the marketplace of ideas. This has actually been standard practice for them going on decades.įrankly this mindset is not specific to Sony, but systemic as far as Japanese corporate culture is concerned. It may seem new to some, but this kind of policy is effectively baked into Sony. So if you want to mod on consoles you really only have one real choice as far as that is concerned, and I wouldn't expect Sony to change their minds on this. While Sony appears absolutely determined to prevent it at almost any cost. I know that last option makes me shudder as well, but Microsoft has made it perfectly clear that they are entirely fine with modding on their platform. I would humbly suggest upgrading your rig, or purchasing an Xbox One. Then you are playing on the wrong platform.

Frustrating as it may be if you want to play a modded version of the game on consoles. Modding the game on their console can only be done using asset that are already in the game, and that is probably going to require a dedicated creation kit. Meaning as far as I have come to understand it. Sony isn't going to be allowing mods that make use of external assets.
