Modder NMC, who created some of the most popular texture mods for recent Bethesda games, says he’s excited about Bethesda’s continued innovation in modding. People will support it because modding is about bringing happiness to people who play games, and venting your creative ideas.”Īgreement about what support will look like, and the effect it will have on the community, unfortunately ends with mods making it to the consoles.
“Then I would need to weigh out the added time it takes. “I can’t think of a reason to not support consoles, unless it adds a lot of time to the dev cycle,” says the creator of Skyrim’s Immersive Armors add-on, who goes by the name of hothtrooper44 (Hoth) on the popular modding site Nexus Mods. While the concept of modding is inexorably linked to the PC, the good news is most modders are open to supporting consoles. Regardless of the monolithic publisher’s efforts, the success of the feature rests squarely on the shoulders of a community that has little investment in the platform supporting it. With the need for fan involvement, providing mods for the console version of Fallout 4 isn’t something Bethesda can guarantee. The inclusion of modding on consoles comes with a unique question born of uncertainty: Will the community rooted in the PC space even bother to support a new and significantly different platform? Tucked away neatly towards the end of Todd Howard’s more rushed presentation at Microsoft’s conference, was the mostly overlooked announcement that Fallout 4 would support free mods like its PC counterpart-at least on Xbox One. Despite heavy rumors of its inclusion ahead of E3 this year, Bethesda’s reveal of Fallout 4 at its inaugural press conference still set the proverbial gaming world on fire.
