Fallout 4 and Skyrim Special Edition Mods Will Not Come to PS4 and PS4 Pro

Highlights

• Sony has disallowed mods for Fallout 4 and Skyrim: Special Edition
• The company doesn't want users to do anything in either game
• Developer Bethesda is looking at other options to bring mods to the PS4

One of the biggest draws of Fallout 4 and Bethesda’s soon to be released Skyrim Special Edition is mods. Also known as modifications - these user generated pieces of content add a tremendous amount of replayability to the base game when you’re done with its main storyline. So much so that many a PC gamer prefers playing these games on PC for mod support alone.

However with the PS4 and Xbox One, mod support has made its way to consoles. Well, at least the Xbox One. For awhile Bethesda has been working with Sony to bring mods to the PS4. Now the company has confirmed that the efforts have met a brick wall in the form of Sony itself.

“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,” a post on Bethesda’s website reads.
