PS4 owners will get the mod tools while Xbox One owners will get a number of bug fixes. The latest patch for Fallout 4 has rolled out for PC and has been certified for both PS4 and Xbox One. Some rumors spread that external assets would open up a potential security risk for the PS4, and Sony wasn't willing to put their system in the cross-hairs of exploits.

Plain and simple, you're getting the better deal with the Xbox One and Fallout 4 just because you at least get to install 2GB worth of mods that do include external assets, so you can drastically alter your game, add in new weapons, new companions, new buildings, new missions, new sounds, new graphics. Unfortunately, the PS4 has some pretty tight restrictions when it comes to modding.

It turns out that Bethesda does not allow NSFW mods on their website, yet Skyrim has mods where you can give your character big breasts and a big rear. And I didn’t know why some of them were only on Nexus and not on consoles. And I always see boring mods no one needs or cares about. This compromise puts a severe damper on the modding scene for Sony's system compared to Microsoft's Xbox One. Every day, I go on Fallout 4 and I look at the latest mods. And then it sounded as if Bethesda was throwing in the towel because they couldn't get anywhere with Sony.īut after lots of negotiating and plenty of hill climbing, both Bethesda and Sony managed to come to an agreement: Fallout 4 mods could be allowed on the PS4 but no external assets would be accepted.

Originally there was a huge memory limitation on the mods, so much so that it would have made it a far less versatile feature than the Xbox One. Previously, though, Bethesda had to battle with Sony just to get modding approved.
