PlayStation 4/5 now getting mods that use external assets???

[SirCadsimar]

I'm not entirely sure if it's legit or not, but PS 4 and 5 are now getting some mods that use external assets, including Sofia the Funny Fully Voiced Follower, it was released for PS4 and 5 late January and is still up.

What is going on?  Is this legit, is this actually happening?  Or is it just certain modders finding loopholes again, and these mods will all be removed soon (again)..?

I've reached out to Bethesda's info e-mail but we'll see if they answer.  It's been going on for over 6 months but the restrictions are clear from the user's end.  The Creation Kit does not allow it and if you work around that restriction you're likely violating several different agreements or terms of service.  There's not even an option to report a PS4 mod for external asset use, only if it uses external assets that would otherwise violate the site terms (nudity, child harm, etc).

Possibly because it makes it a lot harder to control content in mods. I don't think they have officially given any reasons for this stance.

I wouldn't report it even if I could (I haven't logged into BethNet in years and I forgot my password there).  Just going to let the already inconvenienced PlayStation Bethesda game players have some nice things for once.
