Sony has informed us they will not approve user mods the way they should work: where users can do anything they want for either Fallout 4 or Skyrim Special Edition.

Yeah and Sony don't agree with their definition of should.  Why should they allow mods that cause memory loss on their console?  It's pretty straightforward.  If Bethesda care enough they will comply and give them mods. 

can you give me the source please, is that a statement from sony?

From Bethesda.  

 

""KNOWN ISSUES WITH PS4 MODS


PC textures are used. Memory and performance issues may occur. We are working with Sony on optimal texture exporting support in a future update.
Sound files are currently not supported. PS4 sound format is a proprietary format. We are working with Sony on sound file processing support in a future update.
PS4 Mod Storage limit is approximately 900 MB at present. Please do not upload mods larger than 900 MB. We are working with Sony to increase this limit."

So that means the PS4 cant run the mods because of insufficient power/memory?

I presume they only want to allow the mods that will run properly and not allow a free for all shit show where half the mods crash the game.

If this is really on Sony, then this would be major BS unlike the 4KBD issue.

Yea. I wouldn't be surprised we see mods as a PS Store download, as opposed to working completely within the game. This way Sony can have a better level of QA before putting it out to the masses. Sure, we won't get all mods, but we'll get much more stable ones.
