Mods are already out for the X-Boxes. I don't know about the PS4s though. I saw some YouTube vids about it, and it looks a lot like installing apps for a phone. I think there is a 2gig limit, which is not much when you consider that Apachii Sky Hair is 1 gig, that is a single mod!

The mods are all hosted on the new Bethesda.Net site. It looks like anyone can submit a mod there. It makes me wonder how well they actually work. Because there is no standard to how people package their mods. For example, one person might create a folder with their mod's name. Then put another folder with their mods name inside that. Then put the Data folder inside that with all the actual files. While other people just give you the data folder and all of it subfolders.

Then of course there are the readme files, which most modders refuse to include. 90% of the time I have to make them myself by copying the info from the description page on the Nexus and pasting it into a text file. Of course those few people who do include a readme always name it Readme.txt. So that way it overwrites the last idiot's Readme.txt file, and will be itself be copied over by the next next mod's Readme.txt. I guess the revelation of actually using the same name of your mod's .esp file + Readme at the end is just too much to grasp. After all that way they appear right next to one another when you look at the contents of your drive. Sacrilege! But in any case, how do you read a mod's readme file on a console, so you know where to find your new modded gun/armor/companion?

But I digress. I think the Fallout 4 Creation Kit is available for download now from Beth.Net too. It looks like you have to sign up for some other software before you can download it. Its the Bethesda.net Launcher. I have no idea what it does. Probably just a piece of spyware/bloatware designed to use up your machine's resources so your game is more likely to crash when you actually try to play. After all, just providing a link right to it would be too easy. It is also apparently just called the Creation Kit like Skyrim's, instead of the Geck. I guess so they can get people confused between it and Skyrim, which can only be good for everyone.
