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. The two companies are also talking through issues with importing textures from to PS4 and Sony’s proprietary audio format that are causing separate issues.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." Bethesda says it is working with Sony to increase that limit.

The Xbox One enables mods up to 2GB in size. Sony has put a 900MB limit on uploaded mods from community members using the creation kit. But while it was the under-powered PS3 hardware that caused troubles last generation, it is Sony software and policy that is the issue this time around.

The PlayStation 3 version of Skyrim was infamous for its technical problems, and Bethesda spent months after the debut trying to fix its poor frame-rate and numerous bugs. Bethesda does not want to screw up the upgrade of its best-selling game ever, so expect it to do everything it can to sort out its PS4 issues before the October 28 release date. Getting mods working on PS4 is likely a top priority for Bethesda since it is planning to release an updated version of its beloved fantasy adventure The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim with the same feature.
