So I know there's all this talk about how the companies that control the content would never do this but I was thinking if they were able to put like steam and nexus mods on the consoles they could use an in game store. Like in the main menu screen have like an online store where you can pick and download mods you want.

I'm not saying just make it so every time a person makes a mod and puts it on steam/nexus that they should upload it to the store I'm saying it should be someone's job to go through all the mods and pick which ones are appropriate and doable.

I don't know nearly enough about the topic to defend my idea but I'd like to hear some of the flaws and hopefully if something like this could ever happen

Never Going to happen.

Bethesda, IIRC, supports the idea but the console manufacturers will not allow it. Trying to mod the game or console now is against the EULA and discussion of it is against the rules.

Big stumbling block here. Who? Who will do this?

If it's one of the companies doing this, it'll cost them time and money to have those mods sorted and checked. So, they'd have to charge to recoup that. And do you think modders would like to see their work being sold without them getting a penny? Alternative, is that modders get paid, but other modders start charging for mods on PC to. Both options bad for the community.

If it's people from the community? Can't see microsoft allowing it even then.

There's a whole raft of technical (currently), legal and other issues to cross, so it's just not going to happen on this generation. Probably not the next either, unless the system can be policed (Which nobody wants to pay for)

The problem is that Microsoft and Sony are responsible for the content that you download through their consoles. On PC it's completely up to the users discretion what they download on to their system.

Too much risk of a mod causing harm that the big companies don't want any part of.

I think it's bad enough that one of these threads dares to exist on the mantle, let alone two. What was wrong with the other thread?

I'm sorry but the fact that modding consoles is against EULA we just don't allow discussion of it here.
