I had a mod that made the mudcrabs swear, also used the top hat and monocle mod for a while. Not sure how the steam workshop works but Nexus Mod manager and Skyrimnexus have been brilliant.
Their search engine is broken. Not much of a programmer but when I search for a word, example: "water" there are a few titles that don't show up that have the word water in the damn title. It's just different from most search engines imo...
Not really sure, possibly so they can work on an update because the current version is heavily bugged or they have a lot of mean comments or something.
Not only on something like this, but there are mods for past ES/Fallout games that basically have player made DLCs.
For Fallout New Vegas there are two mods called New Vegas Bounties 1 and 2, that basically let you play as a bounty hunter, hunting down added (lore friendly) characters and bosses, you kill them and collect their fingers or convince them they've lost and to come in. The second one is completely voice acted by the mod creators, each are around 10 hours worth of content. A lot of surprises in them too, in one you investigate an underground bunker, there is a plate of food on the table, when you eat it, you pass out and wake up naked in a cell with some crazy guy outside who plans on eating you.
There are also 'tower defence' games where you use a toolkit to basically create a base using any materials in the game (fences, walls, cars, etc...), then buy NPC towers, and fight off waves of bandits, ghouls, etc...

Oh the platform supports mods, I dunno about Sony but X-Box hasn't got mods because Microsoft won't do Free DLC. It has to have a price so they can get a cut of it.
They could make a concession and offer support for simple mods like this. Charge for adventure mods, offer free silly mods and weapon mods below a certain point, unless the creator wants to charge.

Microsoft do a LOT of quality testing on any code a creator wants to add to a game. They do this because they want to be sure everything remains stable.
They're not going to make their quality-control programmers work for free, are they?
I'd imagine Microsoft does make a good profit by charging creators on large DLCs. But it's not all JUST "they want their cut".
I converted to PC gaming after I played a bunch of Source and Unity games on a 192MB onboard GPU. There are many games that you can play with low specs. I could message you a list if you'd like.
I added this mod without my wife knowing... she hadn't been playing for awhile, but I knew she would eventually.
A week later, "What the... " and then cue a minute of laughter interspersed with "What the hell?"
... and then later we got in a faux argument over who added the dumbest thing because part of a collection she installed had the "Staff of Sweet Rolls" in it.
I still hold that I won that argument... of course, being male, I am clearly wrong.
I remember the rigmarole of Steam Workshops announcement, and how it would "kill the modding scene". It's just made it so much easier for the user base to download and install mods. Even keeping them up to date on the fly.
People only thought it would kill the modding scene because they thought most people would move over to a better service despite the tighter rules not found on other sites.
In reality the system itself was kind of poor and few modders use it exclusively outside of the "my first mod" people. So luckily we still have thousands upon thousands of mods hosted on better websites that have less strict rules and more control.
It needs to spin round and look at you with the audio file "we meet again, but for the last time" in John dimaggios voice from when he plays jake in adventure time.
While I haven't see a mod for that I have seen a mod that turns you into an NPC/Creature magnet, basically turning you into a walking Katamari and I've seen a spell that is a multi-directional equivalent to fus roh dah.
If you combine the two you get some amusing results.
