Will mods EVER come to console?

I thought that the devs mentioned that they would bring modding to console eventually. What happened to that?
  • On EA answers you can find a thread about this: https://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion-Feedback/FAQ-Sims-4-Console-Mods-and-CC/td-p/9863256

    I'm also a console player and I think that there is a lot of possibilities to implement CC for us. A good example is Farming Simulator with their free mod pack:

  • Is there anyway to submit a suggestion on mods for consoles?? I've seen so many I'd like but I don't have it on computer and have spent SO MUCH money on Sims4 PS4 lol. If I'd known you couldn't do mods on console I woulda invested and been investing on PC Please change this Sims creators!! Sincerely, Console Simmers everywhere.

    It's not so much being lazy as it is that, you know, Mods aren't EA content and the Sims team isn't big enough.
  • So mods on console are up to the console makers; not the game makers. PlayStation, Xbox, Switch etc would have to allow those mods on their product.

    So if you see a game on console has mods, that’s because they got permission from that console company to do that.

    It really is possible, GTA has been modded since the beginning. They're just lazy which is unfair as we're also paying for a service which isn't being delivered


    Gta doesn't allow console mods fyi, but the PC version mods look awesome

    In fact, and to clarify all, you are correct when say are up to console makers
    But just neeed allow users view the filesystem (file explorer) to Maxis make mods management like at PC (a folder with our mods and CC) then users download mods at that folder
