Fallout 4 mods are not exclusive to PS4 and Xbox One. You can indeed mod Fallout 4 on PS5. The process is exactly the same as on PS4 and Xbox One. If you already modded your game on last-gen consoles, then modding Fallout 4 on PS5 will be very easy for you.
To access mods, you need a Bethesda.net account. Visit the Bethesda.net website to create an account if you don’t already have one.
Launch Fallout 4 on your PS5 and select “Mods” from the main menu. Log in with your Bethesda.net account credentials. Once logged in, you can browse the available mods directly from within the game.
Use the search function to find specific mods or explore categories such as Weapons, Armor, and Gameplay enhancements.
Download Mods
Select a mod to see more details, including screenshots, descriptions, and user reviews. To install a mod, simply select “Download.” After downloading, ensure the mod is enabled by checking the “Load Order” section.
Load Order Settings
Some mods may require a specific load order to function correctly. Navigate to the “Load Order” menu to adjust the order in which your mods load. Typically, mods that affect core game mechanics or add new content should be placed higher in the load order.
Return to the main menu and start your game. Your mods will now be active.
