It looks like whatever nonsense was preventing Bethesda from bringing mod support to the PlayStation 4 has finally found some sort of a resolution. It's a rather crappy resolution, but it is one none the less.
Bethesda said that mods and 4K support are coming to the PlayStation 4 for both The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and Fallout 4. The problem is that the mods cannot use external assets on the PlayStation 4. That's right, the only mods you can have on the PS4 are those that are created using only the already existing assets from those games. Uh, yay?
Oh, Sony, so close and yet so very far.

Skyrim will have these features when it launches on October 28. The new power of the PlayStation 4 Pro has allowed us to make Skyrim render in native 4k, and it looks better than ever. Here are some screens to show you just how great it looks.
Mod support will come to Skyrim first. We and Sony have worked hard to make this possible. Mods on PlayStation 4 will allow you to modify and create your own content by using our Creation Kit available here. You will not be able to upload external assets with your PlayStation 4 mods, but you will be able to use any assets that come with the game, as most mods do. By creating a Bethesda.net account, you’ll be able to browse and try mods right from within the game.
We are excited finally to get modding to our PlayStation fans who have supported us for so long. Modding has been an important part of our games for over 10 years, and we hope to do even more in the coming year for all our players, regardless of platform.
After the work is complete on Skyrim, we’ll be updating Fallout 4 for both mods and PS4 Pro. We expect Fallout 4 to take advantage of the PS4 Pro in 4k along with enhanced lighting and graphics features.
