One of the new features for "Fallout 4" is the mod support that is extended to consoles. However, the feature only rolled out for the Xbox One platform and PS4 players will be ecstatic to know that the feature will also go live on the Sony console with the new "Fallout 4" update.
Bethesda has announced that a new patch is bound to go live for "Fallout 4." Interestingly, the new patch 1.8 is said to include mod support for the PlayStation 4. This is welcome news to fans, who have been waiting for the feature to go live on the Sony console. Mod support is already live for the Xbox One and PC for months now.
Sony has already agreed with Bethesda to allow mod support for "Fallout 4" on the PS4. However, there is much concern on how the mods will look like and be accessed on the Sony console, as there are significant limitations on both data and performance levels. The agreement that is finally reached is that the PS4 will allow mod support, but only using limited data from the game's internal assets.
This means that unlike the mod support for the Xbox One and PC — which can be started from scratch, the PS4 mod for "Fallout 4" will only tweak game elements which means fewer models for PS4 players.
Meanwhile, the new patch 1.8 is already live on PC. As it will be the same update that will be released on the console, other tweaks and improvements are also expected, including:
- Fixed an issue in which some sound effects would not persist after reloading in an area
- Resolved an occasional crash when exiting to the Main Menu, and trying to start a New Game
- Fixed an issues with spaces in Mods search queries
- Cannot rate "WIP" Work in Progress Mods, and Mods can now only be rated after they have been downloaded
- Doubled the amount of browse-able tiles in the Mods menu
- Fixed a rare crash that would occur when a Mod had an unexpected data structure
- Fixed an issue in which Library and/or Favorite Mods categories would not display correctly in specific situations
- Fixed an issue in which some Mods images would not load when scrolling quickly
- A Sentry Bot firing dual Gatling Lasers will no longer cause the audio to cut out
