It was something of a surprise when Bethesda announced that the PS4 and Xbox One editions of Fallout 4 would support mods (modifications) after consoles players had lived years and years without such a luxury, a luxury reserved only to PC players.
The mods are currently in open beta on the PC platform but Bethesda has assured us that console players will be receiving them in the next few weeks and that more information will be released before then. So more waiting, then?

While those who game on PC have had the chance to play with user modifications (mods for short) for years, modding is something of a new phenomenon on consoles, which has been brought to the limelight thanks to Bethesda games like The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, which have a huge modding community behind them.

Actually, the likes of Skyrim have had literally thousands of user mods released for it over the years, which change many aspects of the game, with some adding new characters, quests and entirely new storylines such as the hugely ambitious Falskaar mod. There are also others that make cosmetic changes to the game, while some complete overhauls mods such as the impressive-looking Enderal are also available.

And now user mods have finally become available on the PS4 and Xbox One for both Bethesda’s Skyrim and the more recent Fallout 4. Download harvest moon back to nature bahasa indonesia epsxe. Although in the PS4’s case mods only came to Sony’s console after long talks between Bethesda and the Japanese company (and initial disagreement too) meaning that PS4 mods have several restrictions, including a 1 GB size limitation and the fact that both Skyrim and Fallout 4 mods on the PS4 cannot use external assets, which restricts modding possibilities quite a bit.
Despite this though, there still are a few pretty good mods available for Skyrim on PS4 now, and the same will likely be the case with Fallout 4, as there are already more than 300 mods available for the PS4 version of the game at the time of writing.

PS4 console mods for Fallout 4 suck. Thanks to the limitations imposed by Sony, the developers at Bethesda released a severely limited version of their console mod functionality, essentially neutering any PS4 modding scene that might've thrived under better circumstances. Still, there's a lot of quality stuff floating around that's available under the PS4 umbrella, and I delved into those awkward, strictly-chartered waters to find 8 diamonds in the rough.
And just to be perfectly clear, PC modding is the best, most obvious choice for Fallout 4 fans. For you poor souls suffering under the painful limitations of the PS4, this list is for you.
Tired of endless brown? The most favorited mod for the PS4 is this simple foliage reskin, making the formerly colorless wasteland into a brighter apocalyptic environment, bringing a splash of green to go with all that gray. The mod is designed to enhance the look of the map, and minimize any effect on your FPS. Considering the popularity, creator ANDREWCX did a pretty good job. This is the first of four mods designed to alter the look of the wasteland to match the four seasons using only pre-existing in-game assets, all from the same modder.
