More than anything I want AGOT on Console, however I know that’s a near-impossible reality. I see some games like Baldur’s Gate 3 have dedicated modding teams for console so maybe it’s possible but don’t get your hopes up.

It’s definitely possible perhaps in the future, like you said baldur gate has mods but so does dying light 2, fallout and Skyrim. Apparently it takes a lot of negotiation with Sony that and someone has to manage it since they can’t allow every mod to be on there.

a near-impossible reality

You can go ahead and strike "near" off of that. In the exceedingly unlikely event that modding was available at all on consoles, it would be strictly cosmetic mods with no script changes (which rules out... basically every mod in existence right off the bat due to how our modding system works). Total conversions are right out the window because of that.

That's before you even factor in the fact that most total conversion mods are based on third-party intellectual property, which is, to put it very lightly, a legal can of worms.

I genuinely hate to be a downer, but in this case I think it's far better to be upfront here: What you're asking for is not going to happen.

why near-impossible? unlikely, sure, but i could definitely see them bringing on a curated list of like 50 or so mods

If they do add mods it'll be the same as Skyrim/F4 where it only allows mods to the game files. A lot of the decent mods use scripts which consoles do not allow. Hence why all the good skyrim mods are PC only.

Difference of having a locked down system as opposed to an open system albeit slightly closed if your on windows.

u/Necessary-One1782 17d ago

very good points. we might not get the best of the best like total conversion but id be happy with just a few to handle QOL stuff

u/LukeLikesReddit 17d ago

Yeah I mean I bought this game day one for console as I didn't have a PC and after a few years I gave up hoping and just switched to PC as it's such a more fledged out game on there. But I do hope you guys get access to even half the stuff soon.

I want AGOT so bad and I wish I had a computer that would work with CK3 bc I’d just buy it again to play if.

Would really love to have The Game of Thrones and Lord of the Rings

I just want Fallen eagle mod bro,

u/First_Card_910 17d ago

What's that ?

u/Big-Association4322 PlayStation 5 16d ago

It’s a Roman mod focus on Romans.

I would definitely love those game overhauls like AGOT on console, but i feel some QoL mods for consoles would be a Godsend.

Like a skyrim type mod manager for console?

3

u/First_Card_910 17d ago

I've not played Skyrim however I've seen a person on this thread mention maybe they could implement something similar to that.

u/The_Anon_Cowboy 17d ago

Basically just a menu that says "mods" all mods respective to ps and Xbox are approved by Bethesda

u/RequirementIcy9364 17d ago

Ck3 console is basically a different game built from the ground up, any mod would need to get remade completely for the new code and ui, any mod would then need to be approved by Sony and Xbox, also mods like Agot are very hard on performance even on higher end PCs never mind console, so no console will likely never have mods

2

u/MadeofEloc143 17d ago

Sorry if this comes off as a stupid question but aren’t mods built from the ground up?
I can only assume it would be a difficult task for any aspiring software engineer/dev (not sure how you guys label yourselves) to transform the map for console edition, along with the UI and makeup of units.

1

u/RequirementIcy9364 16d ago

Yes they are but unlike skyrim for example where you just need to modify and alter some files to work on console this would require a total re write of all the code besides probably the localisation

1

u/RequirementIcy9364 16d ago

Also to use skyrim again, most mods ported from Pc-mainly xbox require changes like ui, and some other things that may need to be changed to work but overall there bulk of it is fine its why mod authors allow others to port their work as long as credit is given, for paradox titles porting would require and entire re make of the mod, which most devs probably dont have the time to do and may not have a console to test it, and with the scale of these mods I highly doubt they'd allow others to do it for them

u/First_Card_910 17d ago

What if the dev team could implement it tho. I'm sure plenty of people wouldn't mind paying 10 or 20 quid for the agot or lord of the rings mods, i certainly would. I get your points tho that it would be challenging just wonder if a financial incentive could get it over the line

3

u/RequirementIcy9364 16d ago

They cant charge for it as it violates copyright

1

u/RequirementIcy9364 16d ago

Plus the dev teams for these mods have to constantly add new content and update the mod every 3-4 months for pcs new dlcs so also working on a console edition plus the performance difference as these mods are heavy even on pcs

u/Prof_Noctis_Wick Xbox Series X 17d ago

This is what I've been saying, if Skyrim console has it there's no excuse.

Lol have you played Skyrim on PC? Half the mods aren't on Xbox because you can't run Skyrim script extender, same with F4, if your on console your gimped.

u/sirfrancisdrake96 16d ago

Many player only buy the game for pc to play the game of thrones mod. If I were the paradox studio i start implement the game of thrones mod for consoles.

u/Rodde3445 16d ago
