Pfft, this thread getting bumped.
Gets me going.
Gets me going.
You have it backwards. Put Unofficial Patch at top of the list.
Re Skyrim - the store description, box art and trailer all list mods - so I think they would rather delay than ship without mods on PS4.
Any word on what's happening on PS4? Don't know why Sony can't get their act together and help Bethesda get this sorted. We've waited a long time for this ffs.

its not just on sony, its also on bethesda for announcing shit they had no idea how it worked on this architecture. I'm still betting that bethesda will announce that mods wont be on fallout 4 and ditto for skyrim.

Probably not until after Skyrim launches, I'd say.
Sony and Bethesda are working together on it, as per Bethesda.
To clear up some confusion, Bethesda DID have a patch for PS4 months ago which added mod support with some limits on PS4 (e.g 0.8gb mod limit, no sound mod support)... however it never got certified by Sony.
My speculation: both platform holders enforce parity of game features for updates, so maybe Sony blocked 'em.
I know but it's on Sony to help Bethesda. You are right though Bethesda shouldn't have said they were coming until they had this shit sorted. If mods don't come to Skyrim then I'll just buy it on Xbox. I have a 300 hour save on FO4 for PS4 so I don't feel like restarting.
Oh I know, the patch was supposed to support the Mod Beta on PS4 but that never happened either. I wish Sony would start talking about the issue though to clarify. Bethesda seems like they don't have a clue what's going on.

Not really. We've been able to create the plugins and archives for PS4 for a while now. Bethesda has had that working for months so it's not a matter of not knowing how it works on PS4 (XBone and PS4 share the same architecture btw).
This is clearly a Sony problem. Stuff like proprietary audio isn't Bethesda's fault, as much as everyone seems to love demonising them.

That's not Bethesda's fault but how many years have they been working on the PS4? The delay announcement and complaining about file formats make it sound like they had no idea what they were doing, like somehow this stuff came out of nowhere.

There's proprietary formats for stuff like sound on Xbox too, but they got around that. I have assume they just expected Sony would be more lenient.
Admittedly, it was a mistake to announce mod support before these things were sorted out.

I should have clarified but this is what i meant by bethesda's fault. Hell I already sold my fallout 4 on ps4 for the xbox one version (i got it for practically nothing and used the money xbox one gave me for getting fallout 4 on their store for free glitch to get the dlc) Then afterwords i got myself a gaming computer so i already have skyrim ready on that, When it comes to bethesda and sony there's always some issue in the way that doesnt get resolved.(bethesda's elder scrolls/fallout teams, not the ones with dishonored/wolfenstein and doom as they can get shit done right)

Is there any mods for the night sky? I'd like to see a better skybox.

seriously, this is fucking ridiculous in regards to the ps4 version and mods. I cant believe they still havent resolved this. I feel like I should just sell this used and rebuy the game on xbox or pc once I upgrade my Gcard, or no, I should try to buy it used. Not gonna give the developers money twice due to this issue not bejng resolved yet.
if its Sony then Fuck Sony for being fucking douches. I havent touched FO4 for like 3 months waiting for mods. this is bullshit

As true as it always has been for mods. If you ran a bunch of visual overhaul mods it would really affect performance because the consoles aren't strong enough to push out those visuals. That includes lcoking the game up in certain areas, whcih is something that happened with the vanilla game too (particularly when vertibirds fly overhead)
But, there are people in this thread running some 30 - 40 mods who haven't had any problems. I only run about 6 or 7 at a time, and I haven't had any issues.

Dammit.
I'm running ~50 mods, many of them visual, and it runs really well, in fairness.
No mods can trash the Xbox One.
The tragedy here is mods on Fallout 4 work really well, and Bethesda had a beta version for PS4 which Sony won't pass certification. That's a crazy situation.
Source ?
What?
EDIT: Bloody hell, it's actually happening! For a moment there I was just in shock.

Gaf discussion here.
That "Sony caved" is a bit hyperbolic. No custom assets, so it actually sounds like Bethesda made compromises to meet Sony's guidelines from before...

Caved'ish.
There's still a lot possible.
Also, Native 4K. Digital Foundry said the PS Pro would not be able to run any Native 4K games... so it's amusing to see Skyrim Remaster and Fallout 4 in 4K at launch.
You did no research.

"It's great news for PC crowd as well, and those who own all DLC of the original (or bought the Legendary Edition) receive this as a free update. Based on our tests, there's a visible difference between this remaster and the vanilla 2011 release, with the landscape improved by new assets; plants, mushrooms, stones and extra trees are more liberally dotted around the initial Riverwood village. A new depth of field effect is brought in too. As plucked from Fallout 4's settings menu, this allows backgrounds to dynamically fall in and out of focus depending on a player's line of sight.
..
The more striking change is in this Special Edition's lighting. A glowing, sun-kissed appearance is in effect across its reveal trailer, notably in an overview of Solitude castle. It replaces the distinctive, colder hue of the original, and each comparison shot differs wildly from the tone of the vanilla release on PC. "

Nice. Won't be getting Skyrim so I'll wait for Fallout 4 mods.
Yeah, MS allow it. But then the MS version has a lot of copyright issues, so I can see why Sony might be worried. (Fallout 4, open the Xbox store and the top ones today are Batman and Daredevil mods).

Very curious on how Mods will be on PS4 then. Me buying Skyrim on PS4 will depend on it.

I doubt they ever said that specifically. I'm pretty sure the ocntext they were talking about was modern games.
I sure hope the PS4 Pro can do Skyrim at 4K. A toaster can pull that off.

Mods on PS4 will be extremely limited. Some of the essential and best stuff simply won't be possible.

So if they can port them, why can Bethesda not do it?

Because I'm guessing Fallout 4 will be moving into 'legacy title' status pretty soon, if it hasn't already. DLC support has already ended, that they're still working to get any type of mod support there at all is pretty surprising imo.
I'm also guessing having three different projects in the pipeline for a 100-man studio doesn't leave a lot of room for anything else. Expecting them to curate mods for just one platform is silly.

Yea
No outside assets and whatnot
I'll take it though. I'm fine with this.
Then fuck this, I'm not bothering. I was really only excited for weapon mods, and because they probably fall under outside assets, it kills the only reason I was really excited.
