We will provide an update if and when this situation changes. However, until Sony will allow us to offer proper mod support for PS4, that content for Fallout 4 and Skyrim on PlayStation 4 will not be available. We consider this an important initiative and we hope to find other ways user mods can be available for our PlayStation audience. Like you, we are disappointed by Sony’s decision given the considerable time and effort we have put into this project, and the amount of time our fans have waited for mod support to arrive. But if you like mods, we can’t recommend it at this time.After months of discussion with Sony, we regret to say that while we have long been ready to offer mod support on PlayStation 4, Sony has informed us they will not approve user mods the way they should work: where users can do anything they want for either Fallout 4 or Skyrim Special Edition. The PS4 version of Skyrim Special Edition is still very strong visually, runs at a good framerate and has non-corrupted sound. If you’re not a mod person this may not affect you. But as word spreads about this disability, Sony may wish they had been as lenient as their competition.
It’s now clear Sony only okayed the use of mods in Skyrim under the weakest of circumstances, and Bethesda shook their hand because there wasn’t much time left and being able to brag about having any mods at all would be good for sales. This is what makes mods fun, and Sony won’t allow it. The XBox One allows 5 GB….and the ability to import external assets that weren’t part of the original game code, such as new models, sound effects and textures. It’s estimated that only one third of the mods available for Skyrim will function on PS4, and it’s not the kind of thing that can be fixed with an update: Sony has only allowed 1 gig of mod space on the PS4 hard drive.
Since Skyrim’s release on Friday, players have discovered the number of existing mods that work with PS4 is significantly smaller than the number on the other two platforms. All heads then shifted to Sony to see how they’d react, and at first the answer was “no, no mods.”īut after a few negotiations behind closed doors, that decision was reversed and Sony announced mods WOULD be possible on the PS4 version. Then the surprise announcement was made that the XBox One version would support mods, just like the PC version does.
If you’re just now joining us, here’s a recap: Skyrim Special Edition was announced for consoles and the PC.
