Are Mods reverse built?

[Zarre007]

Is curious if the current mods for (Fallout 3), (Fallout 4) and Skyrim V game engines are interchangeable?.

 

Since, as I understand it the game engine is the same across these games.

 

Using the Console commands/cheats seem to work across these games without too much conflict.

no , mods won't work just like that

it is the same engine in terms of console commands , but it's not an identical engine

also you need to consider the fact that mods for a specific game require that game's master plugin , which the other games don't have

add to think differences in how assets are handled , which types of assets the game uses , different encoding of plugins , it's really not as simple as you think

just look at how porting mods from Skyrim LE to Skyrim SE works , and think of the issues when trying to move between other games

 

that's not to say that it's impossible , as some mods from Fallout were ported to Skyrim and vice versa , but it requires a process . mods won't just work if you install them to the wrong game
