I have the Xbox 360 version of Skyrim though I am interested in such mods that the PC version has... will there be a cumulative mod set as a free (or cheap) DLC for my system or have they decided against it?

Nope.

Just ask yourself just how many times in the past did MS allow for user created mods on the 360. You'll get your answer.

No.

Edit: I want to say that there was a way to get Unreal Tournament III mods onto the PS3 version of the game, so maybe that could happen on PS3, but I doubt even that.

@rockyhorrorgerri: The PC mods actually work on the 360/PS3 versions. The only problem is that there's no proper distribution service for the consoles (plus there's the matter of logistics). But from what I've heard, Bethesda are looking into it so it's a possibility. I've no idea what the chances are though.

Todd Howard teased that they weren't against the idea but I wouldn't count on it.

Okay, makes sense too much work for little profit. And well I am probably incredibly ignorant for asking but.... They can program mods for the PC obviously, is there no way to do it directly on xbox... since it is connected to online (live)?

Obviously I get my answer of no, though would it be just as simple or possible in the near future to have that ability for people to create mods and distribute them thru live.

Gotcha.

@rockyhorrorgerri: todd howard said that they might in the futre bring the offical creation kit they relesed last mounth on steam to the consels i know this is a big maybe but there is always hope.

Not unless MS can exploit it. The idea of user created modding is that it's free and there's no way in hell MS would allow any kind of game mod without charging for it.

@MrKlorox: Yeah I already got that feeling considering their past record. It'll be pretty nifty they had something like Steam Workshop (which seems to be doing very well so far) but of course it's highly unrealistic given the complexity of installing mods let alone sticking them in a console. I'd like to see such a system one day though considering how everything is going digital. Who knows.

Well thanks everyone just curious as to what I can do for the Xbox version. Though @MrKlorox , I take it you can transfer saved data from xbox to pc, but not pc mods onto the xbox?

@rockyhorrorgerri:Todd Howard said that it was something they wanted to do not 100% possibilty but still possible.They said if they did it would be similar to Halo:Reach's system of downloading maps and stuff through the game itself.I highly doubt it's a problem with Microsoft and distribution most likely just they are busy with patches,DLC,Fallout 4 etc.

Ah makes sense. Thanks.

Certification would be impossible, and mods can cause trouble, and sony/ms don't want to deal with that headache.

Since Sony has already allowed Steam in Portal 2, they would be the most likely to do it, but I highly doubt it.

Doubtful as hell lol.

This thread was resolved with little to no trouble.

AWESOME customer service. Go Duders.
