      I know Skyrim has a limited selection of mods over on Xbox, but it’s really tiny compared to the PC offerings, due to hardware and file size limitations. I think Fallout 4 has some, too?

      Nothing on Sony or Nintendo’s side, as far as I’m aware.

        On Xbox One at least, Skyrim and Fallout 4 both have 5gb storage caps for mods. True, no SKSE or SkyUI, but you can still get almost every other mod that’s available.

            At least in my experience, it was my first time really modding anything. I had had access to a PC years ago when I was a small child, and I played stuff like Garry’s Mod where I’d just build crazy contractions (dare I say I got kinda good at it, who knows how much better I’d be now if I was able to keep up with it).

            After a while I lost access to the computer, but I still was able to play console games, so that’s what I mainly gamed on for a very long time, up until just a couple years ago when I finally got a PC.

            So I’d say if anything, it’s a great introductory to the possibilities of mods to console players, and like me, it may push some to actually get a PC to do more with their games. In all, I’d say it’s a positive thing regardless.

      This reminds me of so many Japanese dev only release their games on Switch because they don’t want people to mod them.

      …especially for family-friendly games or something based off popular IP (e.g. SPYxFAMILY).
