This limitation is seemingly part of the deal Bethesda struck with Sony in order to allow mods on the platform in Skyrim and Fallout 4. More importantly, PS4 mods are restricted to using in-game assets modders can't create their own work from scratch or craft scripts that are often used for more complex creations (and some simpler ones). (It's worth noting that PC players don't have to rely on Bethesda's workshop to download mods.) Xbox One and PS4 mods are more limited than those on PC, as the consoles have storage limits of 5 GB and 1 GB, respectively. Xbox One currently has the most with 100, while PS4 has by far the least, with just 27. The 209 mods available as of this writing can all be seen here.

The-Reko's Black Mage Armor SE mod for PC/Xbox One If you come across any you're interested in on Bethesda's website, you can add them to your library right from there. Bethesda's website already has a list of all the mods that are currently available, giving you a chance to peruse before the game arrives.Īmong those you'll currently find are ones adding a new difficulty level, removing health regeneration, expanding villages, and making named dogs invincible (because who needs a dead dog on their conscience?). Skyrim: Special Edition unlocks in a matter of hours, launching on all three platforms- PS4, Xbox One, and PC-with mod support.
