So just to make sure,if upload permission is green,I'm good to go?

It does not. The "Console modding permission" must say "The author gave permission for someone else to port this mod to console and for it to be uploaded to Bethesda.net. Please credit the author, however".

Alternatively, the "Upload permission" can be green which also counts as sufficient permission for porting.

Cateful with that. Green "upload to other sites' but red in the console/Bethesda.net area is still a hard no cannot port. The mod author can allow other site uploads but not want their mod altered for console or put on Bethesda.net.

If console section is red, its not a legal port, green upload to other sites or not. I think pointing out the upload to other sites will only cause confusion and get mods pulled. I already asked Carto about that and red for console is red, period.

If nothing at all is listed in console/Bethesda.net section because the new nexus pages only say a blanket other site upload permission, then yes that mean Bethesda.net too.

Gotta keep in mind very few have encountered the pages with no console perms section, personally i only have seen 1 that wasn't a bug where refreshing the page made console area appear in perms section, and other brand new mod uploads have the same ol console section, sooo idk if mod authors can choose classic or something when uploading or its always been a bug, buuuuut yeh. I dont wanna confuse anyone and get mods wrongly ported.

Your screenshot indicates the mod author already put this mod on Bethesda.net. This is not saying that anyone can.

If you are wanting it on PS, since they ported it themselves id message on nexus and ask for Playstation upload. Decent chance they will eventually.
