said Bethesda.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Like you, we are disappointed by Sony\u2019s decision given the considerable time and effort we have put into this project, and the amount of time our fans have waited for mod support to arrive.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;However, until Sony will allow us to offer proper mod support for PS4, that content for Fallout 4 and Skyrim on PlayStation 4 will not be available.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Skyrim Special Edition is greatly anticipated by modders due to its increased maximum memory utilisation, allowing PC and Xbox One gamers to create even bigger mods which have the potential to completely change the game.<\/p>\n<p>Bethesda has said that it will update fans if the situation changes, but\u00a0Sony doesn&#8217;t seem likely to change its mind.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">More gaming news<\/h3>\n<p><strong><a title=\"Permalink to The next-gen PlayStation 5 could arrive in 2018: report\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/hardware\/103969-the-next-gen-playstation-5-could-arrive-in-2018-report.html\" rel=\"bookmark\">The next-gen PlayStation 5 could arrive in 2018: report<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a title=\"Permalink to Insanely powerful 4K gaming laptops you can buy in South Africa\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/pc\/103741-insanely-powerful-4k-gaming-laptops-you-can-buy-in-south-africa.html\" rel=\"bookmark\">Insanely powerful 4K gaming laptops you can buy in South Africa<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a title=\"Permalink to 7 badass fan-made Overwatch heroes that deserve to be in the game\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/pc\/103349-7-badass-fan-made-overwatch-heroes-that-deserve-to-be-in-the-game.html\" rel=\"bookmark\">7 badass fan-made Overwatch heroes that deserve to be in the game<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bethesda is ready to offer mod support for PlayStation 4, but Sony will not let PS4 gamers use mods in either Fallout 4 or Skyrim Special Edition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":232,"featured_media":98250,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_enabled":true,"_sma_x_custom_text":"","_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,11681],"tags":[31,165,18337,905,1870,69,71,10137],"class_list":["post-103975","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pc","category-playstation","tag-active","tag-bethesda","tag-edition","tag-mods","tag-playstation","tag-skyrim","tag-sony","tag-special"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/103975","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/232"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=103975"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/103975\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/98250"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=103975"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=103975"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=103975"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
