    I recently had to find out that a mod author of a couple mods I was happily using on my PS5 copy of Skyrim removed their mods entirely because of another batch of greedy monetisation efforts from Bethesda, trying to monetise mods even further. Just fuck those guys man

        The console versions of Skyrim, minus Switch, have mod support. They are limited in scope because they don’t allow for external resources to be used for the mods - maybe Xbox does, I don’t know - but they still offer a bunch of QoL improvements, visual upgrades, quests, weapons, spells etc. Some well-known mods like the Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition Patch exist on console and some well-known mod authors like Elianora or Juliha also publish their mods on console. It’s pretty great actually. They can make your game look and feel really good.

        The mods I was referring to that were removed are Mysticism and Adamant by SimonMagus616 (at least their Reddit handle) that completely overhaul spells and perks in Skyrim. I understand their decision to remove them, but my playthrough feels a little less cool now as a result.
