HUNSince Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Hi there, I have a question about NV modding. Is it possible to use PC mods on PS3? I saw a guide how to upload the files to ps3, but didn't know this is working with PC mods to? Thank you for the answers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimboUK Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Not possible I'm afraid. Even if you could get mods working a lot would cause serious performance issues.The game will be optimised to use the PS3 to it's fullest, especially the limited memory, start adding stuff and things would deteriorate very quickly. Anyway the PS3 has no way of activating/deactivating mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark0ne Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 PS3 modding requires that you do stuff to your console that is considered "bad". I won't use the word illegal although recent events in court basically make it illegal. Ergo we won't discuss it here. I'll lock this now so that people don't get unwittingly banned.

bben46 Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 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.
