May 31 for Xbox One, June for PS4
Mods are headed to the console versions of Fallout 4 soon, which is good, because after the way Far Harbor turned out I think some of us could use the pick-me-up. Xbox One players are getting them first, on May 31, while Bethesda says they’re “still on track for next month” for PlayStation 4.
I’m trying to keep my expectations in check as far as what’s possible with modding for consoles. So far, what I’ve seen is about what you might expect — a mix of silly, stupid, useful, and questionable stuff.
You can browse the list of supported mods here, but I do want to give a shoutout to “Craftable Cats” by mm137 as something I definitely, one-hundred-percent want in my Fallout. The description slayed me:
I wanted some cats for my settlements, so I made this. They are craftable under the Decor/Misc category for one empty milk bottle. Each cat adds +1 happiness. They don’t do anything else, they’re just cats.
There’s eight colors/breeds to choose from – tortie, white, Siamese, black tux, orange tabby, Russian blue, and calico, plus the vanilla grey tabby – and you can scrap them for cat meat, bone, and fertilizer. (Don’t do this to living ones, you monster.) The textures are still somewhat crude, but will do for now. For some reason the icons still won’t appear.
I’ve added two craftable bowls to trigger animations – one for drinking and one for sunning (aka just laying there). They may help people with issues with cats walking off and drowning.
Yep, I’m gonna have some fun with this.
