alrighty then, i supose mods are really made for PC and not so much for the other consoles. I guess its time for me to go out and buy me a copy of Fallout 3 on PC and be able to mod the games with ease. After all i'm sure all the programs, scripts and such where made for the PC and most likely wont work with the PS3. I'll probably give it a shot after ive learnt how to mod the PC version first. So CASE CLOSED! peeps. Mod close this thanks :thumbsup:

We get requests for mods on 360 and other consoles so often I have a canned reply.

 

Bben46's FAQ, Can I use the mods on my 360? Or PS3?

 

Short answer, No.

 

Long answer. The file structures between the 360/PS3 and PC are totally different. Even if you could get a mod made for the PC into the 360/PS3 it won't work. To get it to work, you will have to rewrite the operating system of the 360/PS3 first, then rewrite every mod to work on that new operating system. Then, the maker of the 360/PS3 doesn't want you to do that. If you modify anything in it, they will block you the next time you go on their site. (read their terms and conditions) They make their money selling you new games and not by allowing you to use free mods.

 

Yes, there are sites that will tell you how to modify your 360 or PS3 so it can use mods. However, it is not a simple process and involves voiding your warranty, and the terms of service you agreed to when you first got the thing. - and risks turning your expensive console into a nice looking paperweight. There are currently very few working mods for Oblivion/FO3 available for the hacked consoles. And, the first time your 360 connects to the MS site - your particular box is banned forever. Even if you unhack it. (Check recent xbox news on Microsoft banning nearly a million xboxes with “No recourse” for "hacking them".)

 

Sony has a similar policy regarding PS3, just not quite as draconian.

 

You agreed to this when you signed up! Read the fine print -Paraphrased: You have the right to use it only in the way they want you to use it and if you ever try to use it in any other way than the one they give you, they have the right to shut you down. If you need a paperweight, go down to the building supply and buy a brick - it's cheaper.

 

My advice, start saving now for a good PC - don't get a cheap one.
