Last month Bethesda's Pete Hines assured us that the developers were working with Sony on Fallout 4 mod support, but the process was still under evaluation. This announcement came well after mods arrived on Xbox One, which was towards the end of May.
There was no estimated time of arrival for mods hitting the PlayStation 4 version of Fallout 4, however, it appears as though mods will never release on the PlayStation version.
A new post on the Bethesda blog has revealed that Sony did not approve of user mods for either Fallout 4 or Skyrim Special Edition. Bethesda made it clear that if Sony changed their mind in the future they would attempt to get mods on the PS4 again.
The blog post can be read below:
"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."
