It has been nearly six years since Skyrim and we just received another port and The Elder Scrolls 6 looks to be a long ways out. This used to be a way for fans to add content to their favorite games but now it seems like Bethesda is going to use the service as a way to artificially extend the life of their games. Pretty much anything you can think of, there’s a mod for. Remember that Skyrim trailer on the Switch that showed the Master Sword in Hyrule? There’s a mod for that. Mods have always been a way for the community to extend the life of a game, especially Bethesda titles. Instead of paid mods, we now have mods that you pay for. Bethesda insists this is not the same thing as the paid mod fiasco from the past. Mods will be purchased credits and those credits are available for purchase on PSN, Xbox Live and Steam. Players will use this new in-game mod storefront for both titles to download fan-made mods and even new content from Bethesda itself. "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.During Bethesda’s E3 press conference, Bethesda slipped in some news about the Creation Club for Fallout 4 and Skyrim: Special Edition. "We consider this an important initiative and we hope to find other ways user mods can be available for our PlayStation audience," says Bethesda.
While for the time being the PS4 won't be getting mod support for Bethesda games, the developer says it's open to doing so in the future should Sony change its mind. PS4 support was originally planned for June. "Our goal was to make mods easier and more accessible than ever before, for both the creators and the players," the developer said at the time. Mods for console games aren't typical, but Bethesda felt they were an integral part of the Fallout experience, helping to extend the life of the post-apocalyptic game with user-created content. Official modding tools first launched for the PC version of Fallout 4 back in April and came to the Xbox One in May. "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 says. Despite its original plans, developer Bethesda will no longer be bringing support for mods to the PS4 version of Fallout 4 or the upcoming remastered version of Skyrim.
