Mod support for Fallout 4 was made available on Xbox One. Again, because details weren't provided by Bethesda, but it seems the firm has run into issues during the process almost from the start. Whether these were some of the issues which resulted in mod support for Fallout 4 and Skyrim being cancelled is not know. Bethesda was working with Sony to create “optimal texture exporting support in a future update,' and was also working with Sony on an issue where mod sound files weren't supported due to the console’s use of a proprietary audio format. Another issue was memory usage and game performance using PC textures.

One issue was the a mod file size limit of 900MB, as opposed to Xbox One’s 2GB. What Sony won't approve or work with in order to add mod support for either game wasn't provided by Bethesda, but even when preparing for the private beta on PS4, there were a few hurdles Bethesda needed to overcome. 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.'īethesda said it will provide an update if and when the situation changes.Įarlier this week in an interview with Metro, Pete Hines said mod support for Fallout 4 on PS4 was a priority and the company wanted to add support “as fast as humanely possible.” But, it appears there were too many caveats on Sony's end, thus the lack of mods for the game or the upcoming Skyrim Special Edition for PS4 which releases on October 28. '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. '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. Fallout 4 and Skyrim players looking forward to using mods on PS4 won't get the chance any time soon.Īccording to Bethesda, Sony will not 'approve user mods the way they should work.' Because of this, mod support for Fallout 4 or Skyrim Special Edition won't be available until Sony can 'offer proper mod support for PS4.'
