It's important to note that Bethesda says players "will not be able to upload external assets with your PlayStation 4 mods," meaning that players will only be able to implement mods that use the game's existing assets.

"Modding has been an important part of our games for over 10 years, and we hope to do even more in the coming year for all our players, regardless of platform." "We are excited finally to get modding to our PlayStation fans who have supported us for so long," the post continues. This is likely in part to keep up with Microsoft, which has allowed for mods in "Fallout 4" on the Xbox One since May.Īccording to the post, mods will come first to "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - Special Edition" for its release date on October 28, and later to "Fallout 4." In early September, Bethesda wrote that Sony "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,'" but that appears to have changed. 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.This seems to be a reversal of Sony's early stance on mod support for both titles. 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.

While Bethesda has previously put the lengthy delay on Fallout 4's missing PS4 mods down to technical issues, a statement on its website today lays the problems at Sony's door, and says this will also affect the upcoming Skyrim remaster: "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. Bethesda has announced that neither Fallout 4 nor the upcoming Skyrim Special Edition will receive mod support on PS4 - and blamed Sony.
