Sony won’t allow user modding of Skyrim

Bethesda kind of made some history when they allowed for user-made mods to be used on their Xbox One version of Fallout 4 months ago. Sure, the implementation had some teething issues (mainly centred around the lack of checks that allowed for some unscrupulous people to upload other people’s PC mods as their own content), but all in all most people were pleased that the console was finally getting to use something that had been a PC mainstay for a while.

Bethesda had planned to allow for their Skyrim remaster to follow suit, saying that they intended to allow for mods on both their Xbox One version as well as the Playstation 4 version. Only now it seems like that won’t be happening; at least for the Playstation 4 version owing to the fact that Sony aren’t going to allow Bethesda to enable the modding in a way that Bethesda really needs to make it a thing.

 

In a post on their site entitled “PS4 Mod Update” Bethesda wrote the following:

 

“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.

 

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. We consider this an important initiative and we hope to find other ways user mods can be available for our PlayStation audience. 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 will provide an update if and when this situation changes.”

 

Obviously this is going to be a huge disappointment to Bethesda fans on the Sony console. So far it seems like this is going to be the only version without mod support, something that has arguably kept the Skyrim scene alive long past the time when the 2011 released game should have faded a little.
