I have been looking at the ps4 armor mods (underwhelming, but yea. Sony) Anyway, is there one that makes Ebony stuff steel/silver in color? Best Skyrim special edition armor mods on Xbox One, PS4, and PC Check out the best armor mods you can get for Skyrim! This mod adds a new set of armor imported from MMO Black Desert Online.
For the first time on consoles, players will be able to download Skyrim mods on PS4 and Xbox One. The recent launch of mods in Fallout 4 allowed players to customise their adventure with graphical tweaks, new sound effects and even entire new missions, and with hundreds mods available from day one on Xbox One, expect similar healthy support for Skyrim upon release.
How to install mods in Skyrim remastered on PS4 and Xbox One
Mods in Skyrim Special Edition on consoles are accessed in the same way as Fallout 4 on Xbox One and PS4, but require a step before you can get started. Here's what to do.
1. Go to Bethesda's official website and create a Bethesda.net account, if you haven't already.
2. Once you have an account, select the Mods option on the game's main menu and log into your account.
3. Start browsing and downloading mods. When you select a mod, you can read its description and in-game changes on the right, and its download size and ability to favourite, download and report on the left.
4. Once you have finished downloading mods - you can see everything you've installed in 'My Library' at the top of the page - go back to the Main Menu by pressing Back. The mod selection and data files will reload, and you can load a save with the mods installed.
There are a few things to note when installing mods on a console:
- As Bethesda points out in its loading screen, mods are always at your own risk - if there are issues, you can always disable Mods by going back into the Mods menu. You can also see what's downloaded during play on the Pause screen.
- Trophies and Achievements are disabled while mods are active.
- It's possible to view all available mods by platform - PS4, Xbox One and PC - by logging into your Bethesda account on the publisher's official website.
- If the Mods section isn't visible, make sure your game is updated to the latest version. On PS4 in Europe, the patch won't go live until the morning of launch day:
EU players: The update for PS4 Mods on Skyrim Special Edition will be going live shortly. Once you have the update, please restart the game.
— Bethesda Support (@BethesdaSupport) October 28, 2016What is the difference between Skyrim mods on PS4 and Xbox One?
After some initial back and forth between Bethesda and Sony, the PS4 version of Skyrim will feature mod support, but will only allow assets that already exist within the game - so don't expect anything like Thomas the Tank Engine Dragons on PS4.
As a result, there has been a large gulf between the number of mods available on both systems - 38 on PS4 versus 119 on Xbox One. Meanwhile, the storage space reserved for mods on each console is also different - 5GB on Xbox One, and 1GB on PS4.
As our story on the news mentions, mods should mostly consist of text changes that can be as small as 1MB, so expect creations like a level editor with new quests and dialogue, or changes to how the world behaves, than anything new and unusual.
On Xbox One, meanwhile, expect something along the lines of what we've seen in Fallout 4 on console so far:
From visual upgrades, to console mods and levelling skills.

How do PC mods work with the Special Edition?
On PC, while you are able to use existing mods (found on destinations such as Nexus) in the new release, and it will also support those uploaded through Bethesda.net's own Creation Kit library, as mentioned with the steps above.
A small note on mods - while existing save files will work from original Skyrim to the Special Edition, it's advised that only original saves without mods be transferred, otherwise you'll get the warning 'This save relies on content that is no longer present'.
Much like with Fallout 4'slimited NSFW mod options, finding the really good stuff is a serious challenge for the Skyrim console player. Hats off to Bethesda for making mods available for non-PC players at all, but unfortunately, the offerings are quite sparse.
Beside the fact that all the outright sexual or nude mods are banned entirely on Xbox One and PS4 (Hey, Microsoft and Sony, you know we're adults, right?), there's an extra hurdle for the PlayStation fans: Sony won't allow ANY external assets to be used in modding.
This puts a serious damper on what's capable, modding-wise, on the PS4, as even silly NSFW stuff like cursing, burping, farting mods aren't possible. And you can't get any of the sultry companions who say some of the more suggestive things like you can on the Xbox.
Of course, every once in awhile you'll get some brave soul uploading a nude mod that removes all clothes (rather than adding new nude textures), but it inevitably gets taken down and the modder gets banned withing a matter of days.
If you don't want to spend hours searching for what NSFW content is available for Skyrim on the PlayStation 4, here we've rounded up some of the best content that ups the blood factor and offers some extra eye candy.
More Blood And Gore!
Offering exactly what the title implies, this mod doesn't actually change the blood textures or bring in new effects to the game but rather ups the quotient of gore with each successful swing of your weapon.
Extra droplets will splatter across the screen and more will pool on the ground, resulting in some truly grisly battles when fighting large groups of bandits. You can pretty well paint Whiterun red with this one!
Nocturnal's Clothes
This sexy robe / sandal / hood getup was originally included in the Skyrim code, but it never actually made it into the game's wearable objects for some reason -- although they can be seen on some statuary in the game. PC players can rectify that easily by force-spawning the item IDs, but console fans will need a proper mod to get access.
Obviously, it's not as risque as anything you'll get with the various famous female outfit mods for PC, but the Nocturnal robes are quite a bit more revealing than the average Skyrim outfit. Seems like a lady mage running around those snow-capped peaks would get quite cold, quite quickly!
Non-Essential Children
You knew it was coming -- the most NSFW mod of them all that doesn't involve copulating werewolves or dominatrix outfits: the ability to break Bethesda's rules and kill the kids.
Personally, I love the reasoning for this mod displayed in the PS4 edition's mod description, which tries to make it seem like a noble endeavor to make kids killable:
- Immersion: Fight to protect the children you adopt. This will give your adopted children a priority never seen before.
- Courage: Watch as children stand beside the people they care about. They were raised as warriors, not cowards.
- Survival: Fight for the children. Skyrim is relentless, filled with dangerous enemies. Protect all the children of Skyrim
Yeah, sure thing buddy. We all know you just want to kill annoying beggar kids who won't stop bothering you in Whiterun. Just own up to it man, everyone feels the same way.
Because of how children are flagged in the Skyrim, this one doesn't play well with any combat overhaul mods, so be careful if you've got other mods installed!
Tavern Wench Default Outfits
Have a thing for the plunging necklines and the side-slit skirts of the tavern wench outfits? A series of mods will change the default outfit options for various characters so they are always wearing these more sultry clothing combos.
There's a pretty wide range of characters to apply this mod to, including some rather amusing ones, like Argonian lizard folk strutting their stuff in the wench getup.
Some truly killer wench mods exist for PC, but sadly, this is the best that is currently available for PS4 -- until Sony decides to allow bigger file sizes and external assets...
More Kill Moves And Decapitations
Those glorious kill-shot camera frames from the Fallout and Elder Scrolls series offers some truly brutal imagery when you get a perfect head shot or blow off a limb (Hey, that raider didn't need his left arm anyway).
Working within the confines of the PS4's modding structure, this modification greatly increases how often kill-shot moves occur, lets them happen multiple times in the same battle sequence, and makes it much more likely you'll send an enemy's head flying off into the woods from a decent decapitation.
Live With Serana
This one's for the bloodplay fans... or just anyone who misses vampire Bill pining after Sookie Stackhouse in True Blood.
With this mod, you can now get your very own vampire mistress by romancing and marrying Serana, who isn't normally allowed to be the target of your character's affections in vanilla Skyrim.
Now, if only we could get some of the naughty Skyrim mods on PS4 to spice up what happens when you move her into your home...
There may not be too many blood and sex mods available for the PS4 crowd, but if you look hard enough, you'll find a few to make Skyrim a more entertaining experience. What did you think of our picks, and what mods have you seen that we should add to the list?
