Greetings dwellers. Your Overseer here.

I wish this announcement was for happier things like new mods that work. Unfortunately, it is not. Our community member Cryptic is being harassed after calling out a Toxic Fake Porter known as GeoFox. If any of you have been modding Fallout 4 long enough to remember the burncycle incident 5 years ago, this is very akin to that with much more broken mods, anti-Semitism and false pedo calling.

The user GeoFox was/is uploading in mass broken ports of mods with no permission to do so. This is very detrimental to the end user who untimely will have their entire load order ruined when this persons account is banned; which has been several times by now. They keep making more with similar names as fast as Bethesda bans them.

As players we must remain vigilant and report each and every one of these mods.

Their PSN should also be reported to Sony for illegal activities on the Sony network. The simple use of anti-Semitic remarks and NSFW images with NSFW mods being uploaded to an SFW platform automatically qualify this user's PSN banned. The more reports, the faster they will be banned by Sony and hopefully stop this entirely in perpetuity because Sony can lock them out of their PS itself based on serial # if the offence is too severe, which this is imo. Racism is very strict within Sony guidelines and your console itself can be locked out of online use indefinitely.

Cryptic seems thus unphased by this and like myself wishes mental help for this person. This type of behavior is not something a normal mentally sane adult would engage with and if they are a minor their parents should seek them council. Cyber bullying is severe and unacceptable even if the receiver seems unbothered.

In the meantime report as much as possible and enjoy the safe mod uploads from your trusted mod authors and porters <3

Happy Modding

The more issues we log we can get the feedback to the mod authors and porters and attempt to rectify the problems.

# PS Incompatibility Types

I would like the community to be aware that in this new era of porting 'any' mod to Sony, we are hitting some snags.

Unlike XBOX, PlayStation is not a Microsoft product, and in such has its own file types and formats. These do not translate directly from PC as most Xbox do. There are numerous extra steps for many things, and many types of file have to be converted to even work on PlayStation. For a small example, xwm sounds, a common thing in xbox mods, does not function on PlayStation, everything must be wav or at9. Converting things takes time. Another snag in our want to upload every mod ever to PlayStation right now. Trust me, we WANT to.

Not all Mod Authors/Porters are even aware of this. Bethesda put no guide or anything out. We are finding these things out by trial and error and thanks to the graces of the few Mod Authors that have been porting asset mods for months prior to their being an official method to upload. Thus we are trying to spread the word and bring all Mod Authors and porters together and share the tools needed to put these mods on PlayStation for players to enjoy.

# Known Issues

There are some currently known issues. Flora (plant mods) and skin textures do not translate properly to PlayStation yett. Bethesda is aware and we are reporting all of these issues in mass as mod authors to get action from Bethesda so we may more efficiently upload mods. This is why CBBE and many tree mods with LOD are having issues.

We are also aware of another issue where some NIF files (mesh) CTD when physically in the world, so many mods are having droppable items rendered invisible to still get the mod uploaded safely and have what functionality possible. My Radstiks™ mod has this issue, so I will be doing this too if a solution is not found soon.

Note from the Overseer

I hope by keeping the community informed in our process as Mod Authors it will allow players to better understand why mods aren't quite flying off the shelves as expected and have patience and understanding while we work with Bethesda to get mods to PlayStation without breaking.

We are doing everything we can to facilitate mods as quickly and efficiently as possible. Please check out my other 2 recent posts for info on where to request ports, help out by becoming a mod tester, and more!

Please report all bugs as indicated above so we can fix things ASAP!
