THIS TUTORIAL HAS BEEN REVISED. THE METHOD TO IMPLEMENT MODS HAS CHANGED. PLEASE REFER TO THE NEW METHOD TO INSTALL YOUR MODS BELOW. CREDIT GIVEN DOWN IN THE UPDATED SECTION.
So I’ve seen this topic come up a few times here, with never any really definitive answers on it. So I figured I would share my methods(no longer simply my methods) for modding this great game. This is a LONG read, so I apologize in advance, I just wanted to attempt to be as thorough as possible.
(There is a list of mods that I have verified working on ps3, as well as a list of some that do not work, at the end of this tutorial. In addition, there are important notes regarding mods. And finally, if requested, I can upload my mod collection to a file sharing service for everyone. Will take time, and depends on the interest, I guess.)
I currently have about 30+ mods running on my game, (don't do this) (and a whole ton more that I’m not using but do work) and am currently level 41 with little to no issues other than increased load times and the usual lag that comes with vanilla Skyrim.
We’ll go ahead and discuss load times now, I feel this is the most important. I can give you my experience but keep this in mind:
I’m running my entire game off of a USB stick. That means the disk(game folders), internal game data, well as installed DLC. So the whole enchilada. ( I have 3 data folders for swapping and testing, 2 on usb, 1 on HD)
My load time ( with 30 mods) is as follows:
From the xmb to the press start screen: 3 minutes
From pressing continue to the initial game load : 1 minute 40 seconds.
Fast traveling or other normal in-game loading(doors) : Near normal load times in most cases (an occasional long load here and there, never more than 35-40 seconds)
You will see my own mod setup below, but I’ll tell you now I’m running a few big ones in there, Climates of Tamriel, The Hairstyler, Ordinator Perk Overhaul (which is fucking awesome). So I don’t feel this is too bad.
But I’m also not an impatient man, so I’ll tell you this: More mods = longer load.
Example: With simply Climates of Tamriel, Breezehome, UFO, Cinematic FireFX, More money mod = no noticeable load time change. The complexity and size of mod increases this. Much faster running off the HD.
AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE REGARDING SAVE SIZE, AND DIRTY SAVES:
This game suffers from what I like to call Bethesda syndrome. Like Fallout 3 and NV, after a while your save file will get bigger and bigger. At some point, so big that the game starts to get laggy. To the point of unplayability. Keep this in mind. Upon hitting the 10mb save file mark, you may experience issues such as long loads, stuttering, and extremely low frame rates. This happens REGARDLESS OF WHETHER YOU HAVE MODS OR NOT Please keep this in mind. I believe This Link (link also at bottom) has a method to reduce your save file size, but you must have a copy of skyrim for the pc. Also, if you are using the Breezehome mod, you must un-install it (using the instructions in the mod, which is the book on the pedestal near the front door) before attempting the method to reduce your save file size. If you do not un-install the house mod properly, it will break breezehome. Do not attempt this if using Ordinator or the Breezehome mod, it'll break your game. Do not attempt this with any mod that makes big or permanent changes (perk tree, heavily modded vanilla homes, or permanent stat changers) you have been warned.
Also, keep a clean save nearby at all times. When you load mods and then save your game, some of that data regarding the mods is also saved in your game. When you remove the mods later for whatever reason, the remnants in your save can cause issues in your game. Always test your mods from a fresh save, and keep a backup, CLEAN save with no mods loaded to fall back on or at least a save with the mods you know for sure you are keeping. It will save you headaches later.
First things first. I will freely admit I do not know the first thing about properly modding these games for the console. I’m fairly certain to do it properly would involve the creation of new EDAT files, which I don’t know how to do. But thanks to an awesome user here, we now have an edat and method to implement these mods properly!!
Disclaimer: All mods have been created by their respective owners. I DO NOT take credit for any of this, as I simply found how to pack loose mods for ps3 use. I am not responsible for damage to your console in any way, shape or form. Use this knowledge at your own risk. I have had no issues with mine, playing this way for months. But if your console happens to open a portal to hell, explodes, or tries to steal your girlfriend, I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE.
This information has been compiled from a combination of various forum sources I found online, and my own experimentation. In addition, some mods in my collection were obtained from forum posts of others regarding ps3 skyrim mods and some youtube links. I will give credit where I can.
CREDIT: I would like to thank /u/MikoGames08, who was generous enough to share this information (and file) with me, and also allow me to share it with you.
So now that is out of the way, here we go. You will need the following:
- PS3 with CFW (obviously)
- Multiman or homebrew with file manager of some type
- NEW!! REQUIREDTHIS FILE RIGHT HERE MODS.EDAT (This is the edat that we are going to use to load the mods. Credit to /u/MikoGames08 for sharing the file and knowledge needed on this.)
- Skyrim Legendary Edition (I am using US version), with all 3 DLC’s installed (You must have at least Dawnguard installed for this method to work. Some mods may require resources from Dragonborn and Hearthfire, so I suggest installing all 3)
- A PC ( I think any pc will do, this isn’t super intensive work)
- WinRAR or 7zip (I’m giving more than one choice here, don’t hate!)
- BSAopt ver. 1.63 (to pack loose files into BSA for PS3 use. This specific version is the only one I found to work properly) (OPTIONAL but RECOMMENDED)
- Creation Kit (To create dummy .esp files to use with Texture packs) (OPTIONAL)
- A nexus account, or similar place to acquire PC Skyrim mods
- A lot of patience.
Mods that are older work the best, but some of the newer ones will work as well. Mods must be in the format of an .esp or .esm file with an accompanying BSA file (if it needs one, some don’t). LOOSE FOLDER MODS WILL WORK (I've been told), but I like to pack them. That is what BSAopt is for, and we will get to that shortly.
WHERE THE MODS GO (UPDATED):
To install:
Copy the MODS.EDAT to a safe place on a USB stick, and insert into the slot closest to the drive (right slot), (or FTP if you have the knowledge), and using MMCM (Multiman) File Manager, navigate to the directory where your Skyrim Legendary DLC is located.
Navigate to dev_hdd0/game/ The game has 2 ID’s in this folder. The first, BLUS30778CACHE, is for the main game data files (This is the games install data, not the dlc) The second folder, BLUS31202, is where the DLC for the game is located, and this is where the mods are going to go. Navigate to USRDIR/NPDRM/. WE ARE GOING TO COPY THE MODS.EDAT HERE AND CREATE A NEW FOLDER CALLED MODS LIKE THIS:
And there you have it! :)
This section is split into examples: Simple, and Complex. Tutorial links consist of the mod link, and screenshots for visual aid.
SIMPLE: esp and bsa ready to go
We are using Automatic Item Storage for this example.
Extract the zip or rar file of this mod somewhere you will be able to find it (folder on the desktop maybe?) or you can go ahead and extract to a USB for transfer to the PS3. This mod is a simple example because it already comes as an .esp and .bsa file.
The mods will go into the MODS/DATA/ folder, as indicated above.
Simply copy the 2 mod files (.esp and .bsa) from your USB into this directory. That’s it. Start your game. Upon loading your game you should be greeted by a message regarding the magical auto storage fish. If so, SUCCESS.
COMPLEX (2 Examples):
Example 1: Mod with an .esp and LOOSE Files
![Editor Editor](https://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/skyrimroleplaying/images/b/ba/Political_Upheaval.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20130808042852)
A note on this: folders like fomod and screenshots can be ignored as they are for mod managers and irrelevant. Folders to pack are going to be:
- Textures
- Meshes
- Sounds
- Voices
- Scripts
- Seq
I'm sure I'm probably missing something, but that's the gist of it. And if the mod doesn't have any of the above, then don't worry, it doesn't need it.
We are using Dovahbit of Caerbannog for our example.
WARNING: Dovahbit is not compatible with follower mods such as UFO or AFT. You must use DovaHare, found on the same page.
Method: Download and extract BSAopt to a folder you will find easy to work with. Do not touch any of the settings, it should work as-is. The only setting you may want to play with is the compression level. For larger mods, (over 100 mb) I have set the level to 5 with no issues. This is a setting you can experiment with.
Now extract the mod files. In the extraction window, navigate to the BSAopt folder you installed BSAopt to.
Here you will see 2 folders, one titled “in”, and the other “out”. Extract the loose folders to the “in” folder in BSAopt. Extract the .esp file to an easy location to access later.
Start the BSAopt program. Choose the executable for your system, 32bit or 64 and run it. You will be greeted by this:
If you did this correctly, you should already see folder structures in the BSAopt window:
If not, then click the Browse button near the top, navigate to the “in” folder, and click use folder at the bottom:
Next, click the browse button at the bottom of the app window, and type in a name for the BSA file. THE BSA FILE NAME MUST EXACTLY MATCH THE NAME OF THE .ESP FILE. So Dovahbit.bsa, to match the Dovahbit.esp file you already have.
After doing this, click Pack. Wait for it to finish, and once done, the BSA file you created will be in the “out” folder.
Next, simply follow the same installation method from the simple example above. Place the 2 files for Dovahbit (bsa and esp) in the MODS/DATA folder with your other mods. Fire up your game. Done.
Tip: Dovahbit can be found in Farengar’s section of Dragons Reach.
Tip: Don't forget to clean out the 'in' folder before extracting and preparing your next mod. Things get screwy when you accidentally combine folders from different mods.
Example 2:
Loose files with NO ESP (these are mostly texture replacers.) This requires Creation Kit or a way to make esp files.
Simply take the loose files, extract them into BSAopt “in” folder, same as above. Click browse below, and give it a filename that is simple but easy to identify.
We will use CBBE for this example (This is not recommended, as this pack puts excessive strain on the system, causing freeze ups and crashes. It is possible to use with the low textures, but there are less resource intensive mods to achieve the same effect. This is simply to prove it works. For custom bodies and armor, see the section of working mods at the end of this tutorial)
Extract the CBBE files to a folder of your choice to work from. The next steps will apply to any mod similar to this, as this mod comes with multiple install options and you will have to choose how you want to build it. (Always read the mod’s nexus page for important information regarding use, requirements, and conflicts. It will save you headaches later if you REALLY get into doing this)
This is what you should see where you extracted the folders:
This mod requires the slim section to work, so open that folder. Inside should be 2 folders: textures, and meshes. These are the ones you want. Copy these 2 folders to the “in” folder of BSAopt.
Next, choose whether you want the curvy textures as well. If so, then open the curvy folder, and copy the 2 folders inside (yep, textures and meshes) to the BSAopt “in” folder, and YES, OVERWRITE THE PREVIOUS FILES WHEN ASKED.
Finally, pick any other of the features you want, and repeat the process, overwriting when necessary. The Texture Quality folder has 3 subfolders, low, med, and high. If you so choose, copy the corresponding slim or curvy folder within your desired quality folder to the “in” folder, but only choose 1! This is why it is important to read the mod instructions, because you can’t just pack this whole mod up and expect it to work, there is a method.
Set your preferred compression level and pack your files. I packed these at 5, because I assumed that extreme compression would cause texture issues. This is only my personal speculation, your mileage may vary.
Now we move to Creation Kit: (This is SUPER SIMPLE): Open Creation Kit. If it throws an error (Mine does) Just click yes to all and it will go away. Click on File, then Data:
Click Ok, then click File, Save. Name your save file EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE FILE YOU PACKED EARLIER (so for CBBEPS3.BSA, you would save in creation kit as CBBEPS3) Save it. That’s it. Find the .esp file you just saved, pair it with the BSA you packed, and install it via the same method as before. BOOM, textures replaced.
Final Notes:
Some mods for Skyrim require a certain load order to prevent conflicts. While there is no “Loot” or mod manager for the PS3, we have limited control over the load order. But the general consensus online that I found regarding this is that the load order is determined on the console by the order in which you copy your mods into the folder. It has to do with file write dates I suppose. To my knowledge this hasn’t been verified, but it is the current theory (Don’t quote me I could be totally wrong about this)
A quick note before the list:
Mods that require SKSE,SKYUI, or any external program that requires an .exe or .dll file currently do not work. This is not extremely limiting, as there are over 50,000 mods on Nexus, but it is good to keep in mind. ( I believe the Elite Electronics guys figured out how to implement parts of SKSE, but it’s beyond my current experience)
Mods that have their own custom voices are a mixed bag. Most of the time the mod will work, but the voices won’t. An example of this is the Jesus follower mod. He’s there, but he won’t talk. No fun with silent Jesus. Others, like Dreamborne Isles (Yes, it works on PS3) work, but no voices. Turn on all subtitles in the options to read the dialogue instead.
I am currently experimenting with converting the sound files to be compatible and hopefully readable on the ps3, but I don’t have anything substantial to share, so no custom voices for now.
One more thing on follower mods: Older ones are best. Unfortunately, no Recorder or Inigo for us, as those are so intense that they lock up the system upon trying to enter the area they reside in. Beware of follower mods that claim hundreds of lines of new dialogue, as you won’t be able to hear it anyway.
Body and CBBE armor replacers have neck seam issues that require texture editing to fix. But it’s not that bad (to me anyway).
THIS LIST IS IN NO WAY COMPLETE
Mods I’m running together (My setup):
Better Embers (Ready to go)
Cinematic FireFX (Ready to go) How to change windows 8.1 color scheme.
Climates of Tamriel (Ready to go. Makes you want to just stare at the sky. I use interiors and nights lvl2 as well)
Conjuration Madness (Ready to go. Want to summon a dragon? Now you can! A few select spells do not work.)
Dovahbit (Pack via tutorial above, use Dovahare for UFO compatibility)
Breezehome Fully Upgradeable (Ready to go, amazing house)
ELFX – Weathers (Ready to go. Lighting effects, kinda redundant with CoT above, but meh….)
Extra Encounters Reborn (Ready to go, I use the all versions download. All seems to work)
Automatic Item Storage (Ready to go. It’s a magical fish!)
Amulet of Homecoming (Ready to go)
FCO – Follower Commentary Overhaul (Ready to go)
Killer Keos Skimpy CBBE V2-V3 Armor Replacer (Must Pack loose files into bsa)
Guard Dialogue Overhaul (Ready to go)
3D Load Screens (Ready to go. A few are glitched. Does not affect gameplay.)
The Hairstyler (Ready to go. A good portion are glitched/do not work, but there are enough that do that I decided to include it here. I use it.)
Move it Dammit (Ready to go. Now followers actually get the fuck out of your way. Highly Recommended)
No skill limit (Ready to go)
Possessive Corpses (You must pack the script before using) – A note on this one: This mod has not been proven to reduce ps3 save sizes, but does link weapons to corpses to reduce clutter. I'm running this as a test.
QaxeWinterholdRebuild (Ready to go. Enable subtitles for the dialogue. In instances where quests don't initiate, try talking to the character again to get it going. I have completed this on my PS3.)
Rings of Power (Ready to go)
URWL (Ready to go)
Nora Strongheart (Follower, Ready to go)
Merchant Medallion (Ready to go. Summon a merchant anywhere)
UFO (Ready to go. Try the compatibility version)
More gold (Ready to go)
Redspire Manor (Must pack files before use. Oh, and I'm in love with this house.)
Monsters Reborn (Ready to go. Makes higher level questing still challenging)
Skyrim Ps3 Save
Ordinator (Ready to go.)
Reverse Crafting (Ready to go. Melt down all those junk weapons you keep picking up)
Sylvia (Ready to go. Follower)
I apologize in advance for the lack of links. A quick google search of 'Name skyrim mod' should bring up the appropriate Nexus page.
Purity (Weather The water glitches on occasion)
Pure Weather (Looks Great)
Alchemist Pocket Garden (Player Home May require packing first)
Carriage and Ferry Travel Overhaul (Pack first, works but no custom voices)
Jango Mountable Sabrecat (Works fine, but he was goofy looking. Riding glitches sometimes)
More Foliage Whiterun (This adds a shit ton of trees to Whiterun. Simple script but does increase load times for Whiterun. May cause excessive stuttering depending on load.)
Helgen Reborn (Pack if necessary. Works, no voices. Not Fully Tested)
Simple NPC Outfit Manager (Change anyones clothes through dialogue options. Uart serial communication c code. Warning: With UFO it is possible to 'cheat' by giving your follower badass armor through this mod, and removing it from them afterwards. UFO dialogue option 'You could dress better'. May produce unexpected results.)
Empowered Magic (Minor magic perk overhaul. I used this before Ordinator)
Character Creation Overhaul (Only lightly tested, may cause game breaking glitches, needs more testing)
Dreamborne Isle (May need packing. Voices do not work. Subtitles recommended. Not fully tested)
Lively Followers (May conflict with UFO)
Open Cities (This one actually worked, I was surprised. Exiting a building inside the city will load the city separately like the vanilla game. But from anywhere in Skyrim, the city gates should open with no load screen.)
Random Alternate Start (Worked the 2 times I tried it. Mileage may vary)
Leveler's Tower (Unzip the resources to 'in' first, then unzip the loose folders from the esp zip into 'in', OVERWRITE WHEN ASKED. Pack at compression 5. May cause crashes, not fully tested)
Not Working:
INIGO - COMING SOON (MAYBE)
Recorder (Not at this time)
Heritage Mod (Upon creating your new character, you are stuck in 3rd person, and not in a good way either.)
Waffa's Skyrim mod pack (Some packed ready to go. Unsure if the DL link is still good.)
Older Resources (May not be relevant)
Skyrim Elite Edition -Elite Electronics (For information about their mod pack and how to use it if you so choose DL in the next link This mod overwrites files in the game disc folder itself as well. Make a backup of your GAME before trying)
Skyrim Save Editor Ps3 Download Version
Elite Electronics Download links (One final release of all their stuff. They no longer work on this)
Some Personal Screenshots

And I think that's it. 25,000 characters, my OCD wouldn't let me leave it alone, lol. I feel like this is at least a good start for anyone looking to try to mod this game.
This is my first ever tutorial on Reddit, so I hope it's comprehensive and helpful.
I will answer any questions that I can. If you feel I've left anything out, let me know.
Happy Modding.

- I'm asking because i wanted to know if it's possible ( I should think it is.) what it would take, ( meaning if i would need to download a program or something, or maybe Pc version of Skyrim) and if there's a legal way. Any help would be appreciated in advanced and if ther is any programs i might need please inform if if able and if the site it's located at is reliably safe. Thank you.Loading editor
- Modding is not supported by Sony so it wouldn't be 'legal' if its possible and you could get banned from PSN.Loading editor
- Thank you Reddxx ( by the way nice avatar i remeber the emisodes he was in.) But that is upsetting as i've seen some Mods that look quite fun! I saw a video someone posted on Youtube that mentioned doing this without (Jailbreaking) whatever that is? I assume it's illegal, Anyway i guess i may continue searching and hope. In the meantime what have you in suggestions because if there is a legal or allowed way to do this i'd really appreciate it! :) But if not that's ok I signed up here for this very reason..knowledge and you have informed me of something, I thank you.Loading editor
- The PS3 is so diffrent (and harder apparently) to program for than the PC thats why all the skyrim DLC took so long and the frame rate was so bad, there are no mod's for PS3.Loading editor
- What about Xbox? Are there mods for that and how do I use them?Loading editor
- Well.. the 360 is basically a PC inside so there are kind of mods BUT you can be banned from X-Box Live as its pretty much hacking. Search youtube for 'xbox skyrim mods' if you want to know more but unless you have spare 360 not connected to the internet just for modded Skyrim i wouldn't recommend it.Loading editor
- Ah, ok then. Well I could always try and add on to that PC I have. I guess. Eh.Loading editor

- Ok so if i were to try putting my save file of choice on a usb would i need to have the Pc version of Skyrim to imput them on the save file, or could i just put it on the Usb, download the mod, and then put it back on the Ps3? By the way about my earlier post i am merely trying to mod the data not the system, don't know if that matters but thought i'd point that out. I only wish to add some fun twists to my experience is all. Dreamgamer2790(talk) 21:14, March 22, 2013 (UTC)Loading editor
- Sorry if this is double posting but I wish to add something to this i discovered. It's a topic talking about Sony and mods it can be found here. It basically says Sony doesn't want to discourage modding..even though they patch there systems now and again to preent it? Anyway i thought i'd add it and see what you all think of it, and please if you may also respond to my above comment as well thank you all.

- If you're dead set to mod (you shouldn't as it usally glitchs the game real bad) most people use modio. I know this because my cousin uses modio and, sadly, I have as well. Microsoft doesnt crack down on modding games like Skyrim and Fallot unless you're stupid enough to post videos about it useing your online gamertag. I would still advise against mods on the console versions of the games.Loading editor
- Doesn't modding your ps3 prevent you from getting future updates though? Because that would mean you eventually can't go online at all.Loading editor
- Well I want to get the Necromancer's Amulet(Didn't sell it to Calixto), The Gloves of Pugilist(Thought they were just common loot), and maybe Vampire lord with Beast form(Already a werewolf, and I belive the Vampire Lord, to Companions quest line glitch is patched). I'm a level 58 and I have no desire to start over right now.Loading editor
- even though skyrim is a single person offline game, you are required from time to time to get updates via online. your service agreement which you signed when loading your PS3 clearly states that you may NOT use any mods to upgrade or enhance your PS3 any way shape or form. Violating this agreement will result in the permanent deletion of your IP adresss and further disallow you from playing any other game through the Playstation Network.there are several glitches & material you may not be aware of that can boost your gaming in skyrim, but the use of mods is strictly enforced & forbidden.Loading editor
- Would altering a save file, not adding any thing that isn't in the vanilla game, still be considered modding? Man, this question sounds way stupider than it should.Loading editor
- mod upgrading from an outside source via youtube, twitter, facebook or a direct MPU purchase to be installed on the PS3 mother-board is a direct Violation of the service agreement. because these methods are not restricted to skyrim alone, altering a game save( though unsure how you would do this) doesn't seem to be a violation of agreement since it is an alteration to a specific game save and not the system that houses the save point.Loading editor

- Reply to Prometheus1960: Modding a game save is basically what I'm trying to get to. At least I hope that's only what the mods will change. I don't want to mod the system just the gameplay in one save. Specifically to use the Vampire lord mod I mentioned long ago that allows flight. You can se it on Youtube if you search for it. I might also try Midas magic. But first I'd have to know how to put them on my PS3. I did ask earlier if I could just load my selected save file onto a USB, plug it into the computer and add the mod to it from there but nobody seems to have answered. That's ok just try to answer this time if you may. But yes moding ONLY a save file is what I'm aiming for ok not the system! Dreamgamer2790(talk) 20:57, March 30, 2013 (UTC)Loading editor

Dreamgamer2790(talk) 20:57, March 30, 2013 (UTCby downloading a version from the PC skyrim and placing it on your PS3 that is a mod enhancement and a violation of the service agreement as well as copyright infringments. that particular mode of operation was placed on the PC version to make people buy that format, there is also (for PC only)a more mature rated mod chip which allows any character within the game to become completely nude when you steal everything from them but these enhancements are strictly for the PC. I have seen the advertisements where a Vampire flys slightly above ground level this the beauty of the PC version, using this is a mod enhancement because the>What I'm saying is that I would save my PS3 files to a USB, edit them to, add and remove legitiment vanilla game items and powers.Loading editor - no matter how you slice it, you are making a modification to how the game is normally played, and performing a 'Mod Enhancement' is clearly a violation of your service agreement. you should not ask us here about the specifics of your inquiry, because we here can only speculate as to the act & its outcome. you should contact Bethesda directly to determine if what you want to do violates any copyright laws or PSN agreements.Loading editor
- Yes, cause I want to talk to Bethsada, about cheating, in one of their games. Sounds reasonable.Loading editor
- To Prometheus1960. So according to you no matter what I'm screwed..I find that hard to believe. I think there must be some way to do it. Everyone thought you couldn't become a Vampire lord werewolf hybrid but you can even on Ps3. That aside even if I must contact Bethesda how would I and what're the odds they'd even read my message? To me not very high I once sent a message to Lego about wanting to help come up with new toy designs and concepts but guess what? NEVER ANSWERED! So I can only assume it never made it or they didn't care to read it. And to Wikia contributor 68.98.92.195 I can't download from PC Skyrim because my computer doesn't have a graphics card and probably is below minimum requirments besides. What i said was putting a Ps3 save on a USB and putting the mod on the same Usb in hopes it's work OR just downloading the mod onto the Usb and then plugging that to my Ps3 in hopes it'd work. But again what're my chances they'll even respond I doubt they will even look at it. Dreamgamer2790(talk) 02:26, April 1, 2013 (UTC)Loading editor
- Hey I believe I have a way. I was messing around on COD World at War, and I ran into three modders in a row (all on my friends list now). Two of them were jailbreaked, but one used the Xploder cheats system. Available for around $14.99, it's like game shark/Action Replay for PS3 and Xbox 360. I'll post a link.http://www.xploder.net/Also available on amazon. You do have to pay, but at least it doesn't screw up your system.Loading editor
- Wait??? Is that legitiment? And why haven't I heard of it?Loading editor

- Yea it's completely legal and won't get you banned. As to why you haven't heard of it, don't ask me. I don't know anything bout your life.Loading editor
- I haven't heard of anybody using it before. That's just awesome, I don't think you understand how this is going to change my life.Loading editor

- Amazing! See I kept to my grounds and look what popped up? Simply smashing good sir Redexx! I knew if i hoped and prayed something was bound to happen. Splendid I'll look into the link immediately and post my experience on the site there if you all would like. And by pay you mean whenever i use the device i must pay a small fee? Well if that's the case long as it's a fair price i'm ok with it. Better than doing something illegal and sending your virtual ass into the voids of Oblivion am I right :). By the way to any interested I'm going to be adding my experiences and notes about being a Vamplord were hybrid for you all to read. I do hope you look at it when I'm done and that it helps. As for how to do it, it can be viewed on Youtube through searching. Dreamgamer2790(talk) 18:45, April 2, 2013 (UTC)Loading editor
- Sorry fo double post but i wanted to confirm from you Redexx that the Xploder allows the use of mods yes? I'm assuming it does but wanted verification first thank you. Dreamgamer2790(talk) 18:56, April 2, 2013 (UTC)Loading editor
- Yes I believe so. I've ordered it so ill be able to tell you first hand how it is. Might even write a blog post.Loading editor
- Could you post the blog post Link here if you write one?Loading editor
- Loading editor
- Read how it says to get Psijic Robes on consoles.Loading editor
- I do hope you get your Xploder soon and also post that link blog Redexx I'd like to know all I can before getting my own. Don't get me wrong I'd LOVE to buy one now but I want to know what it can do first. I don't suppose you coule E-mail me when you post the blog as i may or maynot check in now and again. Thanks in advance. Dreamgamer2790(talk) 04:39, April 8, 2013 (UTC)Loading editor
- Sorry if this would be double posting but I just got an idea. Wouldn't it be great if somone made a spellcrafting mod for Skyrim? Think of it you could actually make Vampiric drain good, make an ice or shock spell with area damage like fireball, and make calm, fury, and similar spells able to work on toughter foes without using the perks that do about the same. What do you all think, got any other ideas? Dreamgamer2790(talk) 05:01, April 8, 2013 (UTC)Loading editor
- Loading editor
- Really there's a mod out that does that for Skyrim? if so I'd think it'd be on MMOxReview's channel as he highlights mods, or on Gamespots channel also on Youtube. Either or if a mod like that for Skyrim exists it's either new/not well known or it's bad cause if it did exist it'd sread the mod community like fire on oil. That aside Redexx, I was wondering if you could try, when you get your Xploder to see if mods like Flying ring, Equipment of eternal shine, or and adoptable khajit girl mods would be useable. Just to know if it would work it should as I believe they'd fit within it's peramiters (think I spelled that wrong). But anyway I just thought I'd suggest somethings I thought might be neat to see if Xploder would allow them to work. Oh and maybe a marryable Khajit too have to search fo it though, the links to the others can be found on the respective Youtube channels mentioned above, thank you. Dreamgamer2790(talk) 22:14, April 8, 2013 (UTC)Loading editor
- I think it's on Insenaflux's channel. I didn't spell that right sorry.Loading editor
- Epzo I'm not sure who that is, but multiple people who deal with mods may each cover the exact same mod. I just found the mentioned mods on those perticuler channels first. That aside I'm simply waiting for Redexx to get the Xploder device and hopefully post the blog, if however something happens I'll order one and post my experience about it and also how it works. Till then I'll wait and check in to see if anything new has been added. And not to be a bother Redexx but has it come in yet? I'm slightly antious as you've said nothing for a time now, is everything ok, I do hope I've not upset anyone. Dreamgamer2790(talk) 00:53, April 11, 2013 (UTC)Loading editor
- insane0hflex that's his name. He does really good mod vids, they are short and to the point which is really great.
Loading editor- They have a mod for everything, first rule of mods. Everything.Loading editor
- Except for Shivering Isle Madness and Amber armor and weapons, one person made that and wanted to port the meshes, but then here can Bethesda with ban hammer. However it's still possible if somone where to make them from scratch, it wouldn't be too hard since some of Skyrim's armors look similar to them like Elven/Ebony armor to Amber armor, and steel armor is somewhat similar to Madness. By the way Redexx here's a mod to try on your Xploder if you've got it yet, Kagrenac's instant fortress search it on Youtube you'll fall in love with it! Download it at http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/17835 I do hope you try it out I thought it was the most amazing house idea EVER A PORTABLE HOME YES! Dreamgamer2790(talk) 04:09, April 13, 2013 (UTC)Loading editor
- I knw bout the fortress. I got it on PC, and my xploder just arrived. I'm going to set it up later.Loading editor
- Ah now the fun can begin! I'm estatic with anticipation for your blog my friend, I do hope all goes well and it let's you use your Pc mods on Ps3, Ah the fun we'll all have being able to hit a foe with Power of the gods and watch them fly like being hit by Sauron's mace, flying with an enchanted ring, summoning a way to large Centurion, and of course marrying a fair Khajit and adopting a Kahjit or Argonian child..pure bliss..although there IS that darn Morthal Oblivion gate to worry about soo..maybe a blissful beautiful lakeside homestead..WITH A VIEW OF HELL! Like those hotel horror movies we've all heard of right! Dreamgamer2790(talk) 05:14, April 13, 2013 (UTC)Loading editor
- There's something right there! There are no LOTR Sauron armor mods.Loading editor
- Mace yes, but that just adds rag dolling to an ebony mace.Loading editor
- Actually you can put Power of the Gods on about any weapon, and there WAS a Sauron mod but i think it was taken down due to copyright, but try searching maybe someone reposted it under a new name, I hope so since it makes you look like the ultimate badass dark lord. By the way can you help me Redexx, I was thinking of making an account at Nexus mods but for premium membership I need to pay 39.99 pounds but I live in the us, will that be an issue and how do I go about paying them for that online exactly? I had sent them an E-mail about it but they've yet to answer to my knowledge. My Support request is under Support, Premium membership, How do I go about paying you. Along those lines. Thanks in advance. Dreamgamer2790(talk) 01:10, April 14, 2013 (UTC)Loading editor
- Well if you just transfer pounds to dollars you should be fine. I'll check it out though. Can't wait for MERP!Loading editor
- I heard that MERP was put on hold because of legal issues, and I have seen a Sauron armor mod before.Loading editor
- Same issues for that. I'm waiting for them to be resolved.Loading editor
- Thank you for looking into the matter for me Redexx much obliged. But..what is this MERP you speak of? I'm sorry if I sound noobish but I've never heard of it nor have any online friends (save you guys) to tell me about stuff. So an explaination would be nice on that subject. Also how DO I transfer pounds to dollars? If you mean look up the Us monetary equivlant then I have it'd be about $60.00 something, I'll have to check again but it's well within my ability to pay so anyway thanks. Also I recently saw a flyable airship mod on youtube highlighted by Gophervids and agree with a commentor that the author should try to combine it with the Asteria. I know there'd be an issue about non-moving objects but the door to enter the home could be replaced with a teleport spell that also affected any followers so you and your merry crew could enter and leave whenever and still sail the skies pillaging towns and such, maybe replace the cannons with friendly Dwemer ballistas that stay within the boundries of the ship railing, what do you think?

- Middle-Earth Roleplaying Project. Originally started in oblivion, it was transferred to skyrim upon its release. They are currently in a legal battle with Warner Brothers, but they're still going strong. It opens up a map nine times the size of skyrim that plays through the movies and everywhere in between. http://www.moddb.com/mods/merp-middle-earth-roleplaying-projectI agree that a mix of those would be epic. But with the amount of modded homes I have I probably don't even go there anymore. Tip:Combine the Instant fortress with another modded home to make it even biggerLoading editor
- Actually I found out very recently today that Deapri has made a new airship home Dev Avezra that actually can fly! It's not the Asteria but maybe one day. it can be downloaded here http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods24234 hope you enjoy. I don't suppose you've gotten anywhere with my payment problem Redexx? Oh and how's the Xploder hope it's working ok if you're using it now. Well goodluck and thanks for your kindness, always a pleasure hearing from you. Also if you could there's only 2 people I've found who've made spellcrafting mods they're not together but probably could use some help but I'd ask first and I don't know their Nexus names if any. They are TaichiKidVids and RaphaelDelaG on Youtube the latter has a blog about his. They're doing fine work on their own but thought I'd mention this.

- For your payment, I expect you can just pay, and the conversion will happen automatically.Loading editor
- Ok I'll try that thanks, There's been something bugging me though about Skyrim that both Morrowind and Oblivion had problems in, Crime system. What do I mean? I mean you go outside Volkihar castle, see Dawnguard lackies, transform to VL, and SOMEHOW you get a bounty of 1000 in WHITERUN WTF? Oblivion had Reneer's guard overhaul and there seems to be a mod for Skyrim called Crime and Punishment however it's been set to hidden for some reason, and this is a HUGE downer as the crime system really does need a big uplift since it's practically Oblivion's but each hold tracks crime different. And yeah I know you kill evey witness and supposedly crim goes away, I personally don't think it works I've yet to test it but still this is Bethesda we're talking about so it may not work. Hopefully the Crime and Punishment mod will be un-hidden soon so we can look at it if not someone can make a new and better one. Dreamgamer2790(talk) 18:50, April 16, 2013 (UTC)Loading editor
- I Find awesome looking mods all the time that have been hidden for some reason. Very irritating.Loading editor
- I hear you especially if it adds something really neat. Maybe you can talk to the author/s about why that is and when if/they will be un-hidden any time soon. I do hope your Xploder testing is going well still, I've been pasting interesting mod links from Youtube highlights in a winword document for the time when I get an Xploder myself. Looking forward to the blog and hope your gaming goes well. chat later. Dreamgamer2790(talk) 18:39, April 17, 2013 (UTC)Loading editor
- There might be an issue. As I'm still trying to set up the xploder on my 7 year old laptop, I've been reading. It might simply take other users saves and add them to your own. Not sure if mods ae possible this way.Loading editor
- Well what i gathered about mods and the Xploder mods are a basically and altered or edited save file and the Xploder is supposed to make it so the system/game can't tell if it's altered/fan made or naturally in the game I can go look on the Xploder page but I'm pretty sure that's what it does. Oh it can hook up to PS3 right? I'm almost certain it can but i can look if I must. If you find out anything Redexx let me know ok? Dreamgamer2790(talk) 23:15, April 18, 2013 (UTC)Loading editor
- basically in a nut shell you cant give a ps3 a modbut mabey inserting a usb with a mod on it into your ps3 with skyrim on it may work but i have no proof so im probably wrongLoading editor
- @ Mrfosteres. I suggested something like that earlier on I think. Maybe it would work maybe not. I suppose I could try that but I'm waiting for Redexx's blog about the Xploder I looked at the details of the Xploder and it seems to be selling itself as a sort of Action repaly like device that works on your computer, I've also Googled if it can allow use of mods and supposedly you must resign gamesaves to do it. If you Google Ps3 modding with Xploder the guy I'm talking about is the third link down has a screensaves with fireworks, I don't really understand it but maybe one of you here will so check it out and if you have anything that might be helpful post it here please so we all can figure this out. But anyway it seems it is possible. Dreamgamer2790(talk) 19:20, April 19, 2013 (UTC)Loading editor
- I'll look for that. Unfortunately my laptop is ancient and sucking. Still trying to get it to work.Loading editor
- Oh sorry to here that Redexx. I think you said it was 7 years old? Maybe you need to get a newer model/computer? There might be some better used models online and in stores near you but if you go this route ask if it's been wiped clean just to be safe, could be bad programs on it or something. I wish you and your aged software luck. Speaking of old computers I've got an old moniter in my house that's from the Dos era still works too, basically it's a dinosaur I don't use it for internet just playing old games. Like OMF 2097 I still wonder sometimes how it's still working. Dreamgamer2790(talk) 21:49, April 20, 2013 (UTC)Loading editor
- Hi all, Redexx I was wondering do you think I should take the leap of faith and buy an Xploder to see if it'll allow me to use mods on my PS3 or should I wait for your blog? Cause if I can open the way for all my fellow console users I'd be glad to do it, but I wanted some advise on this matter. I hope to hear from you soon. 50.103.189.111 18:15, April 23, 2013 (UTC)Loading editor
- So you all know the above poster is me Dreamgamer-2790 for some reason the site said I wasn't logged in hoefully this one will show I am. 50.103.189.111 18:21, April 23, 2013 (UTC)Loading editor
- Dreamgamer2790: OK people I've joined Nexusmods but it seems basically they won't help me on the grounds of what Redexx said when this topic was made so it's up to us to see this throught and try to make it happen. I did tell them Xploder was legal but again they won't assist me in figuring this out and I'm sure if I tried to get NMM/ Nexus mod manager and asked for help figuring it out I'd be denied help hopefully they won't ban me or something. So again Redexx and everyone else who posted here please funnel your knowldege and help make this happen. Sorry if triple post dang site keeps saying I'm an annon when I'm signed in. Dreamgamer2790(talk) 19:39, April 23, 2013 (UTC)Loading editor
- I've been gone for a while, sorry. Nexus Mods is purely a computer associated site. I cannot get my Xploder to connect, and it's quite confusing.Loading editor
- It's ok Redexx, anyway according to AzuraKnight on one of my other topics called I don't know what to do now guys found here http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:263745#7 he suggested that it basically IS an AR and it wouldn't allow use of mods. I hope he's wrong but if right we'll just have to keep trying I guess. I wish you luck with your troubles Redexx. Also I've asked AzuraKnight but do you think I should take the leap of faith and buy one of these Xploders to see if it can allow use of mods on Ps3? If you think I ought to wait for your blog then I will, otherwise I may go ahead and write my own about it since you're having trouble. What do you think? Dreamgamer2790(talk) 18:14, April 27, 2013 (UTC)Loading editor
- Well, if you've got a spare 15 bucks, I'd say do it.Loading editor
- Ok Flamedude22 I'll think about ordering one soon. I'm hoping it'll work since as Redexx said early on he encountered 3 modders on COD world at war online apparently and one ad the Xploder so if it can use mods on an online game there maybe hope yet. Also in minor news i jst posted my first post in the Bandipedia forums and got a badge YAY! I've been a long fan of Crash, He and his friends have come a long way. Sorry if that was off topic thought I might mention if you're all interested. Dreamgamer2790(talk) 21:20, April 28, 2013 (UTC)Loading editor
- Wait, they're making another Crash Bandicoot game?Loading editor

- To Redexx squee awesome! And to Flamedude22 no that's the name of a wikia dedicated to Crash Bandicoot sorry I couldn't post that sooner. Anyway can't wait for the review Redexx hope it's great and gives us the answer we're hoping for. Crosses fingers. Here's hoping. Dreamgamer2790(talk) 23:14, May 2, 2013 (UTC)Loading editor

- Ok Redexx, well I read your review and I'm MORE than a little upset, I was hoping THIS would be the moment but alas. I suppose we'll have to keep searching for a legal way then. Or I can just jailbreak and get myself banned I suppose I would rather not though. Huh..well thanks Redexx unfortunatley you confirmed AzuraKnight I think who said that god mode and infinite money are all it does. I'm very sad. What do you suggest I do? If I must search the web everyday for a way I will, and if I must I've contemplated talking to Sony/Bethesda about a legal agreement that would allow the download of mods for a fair price, about say $5.00 or $10.00 for bigger ones that add quests or something similar. Maybe together we can make that agreement but it's a long shot and probably would be denied. Also with some searching people have said jailbreak is legal IF you don't use PSN I don't much soo. Maybe if all else fails. Dreamgamer2790(talk) 02:51, May 4, 2013 (UTC)Loading editor
- It would be a great way to increase Skyrim's longevity, if they allowed a mod nexus, type, thing, to consoles.Loading editor
- Sorry if this is double posting but hear me out. Apparently on a topic at Gamefaqs here http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/615804-/61259917 Behtesda's Todd Howard said they were working with Sony/Microsoft about legal security measures to allow mods on consoles, and the biggest problem was stability, it could be a lie maybe BUT if they do send news to us about it and then don't go through MANY people round the world are going to riot I'm sure. So it maybe that their already working on something like what I said? In the mean time we can search and hope for the future because in this game plyers eyes opening the world of consoles to mods is almost certaintly to be a staple latter on. hopefully before I'm old like 50!

In the meantime what have you in suggestions because if there is a legal or allowed way to do this i'd really appreciate it! :) But if not that's ok I signed up here for this very reason..knowledge and you have informed me of something, I thank you.There's no way that I know you can do without Jailbreaking, but either way it's illegal.Jailbreaking is not illegal it's just frowned upon same thing with Apple people jailbreak ipods and iphones all the time. All jailbreaking does is it allows you to buy anything or download anything you practically want through th authorization of the company as well.Loading editor
