PS4 User Mods

Is there any reason we can't get the Chevy/Dodge truck mods on console?

They're not licensed by giants. Now if someone made them lizard, maybe.

And they *censored* eggs.

Easy answer: if the mod is not well-done, it's not even acceptable for consoles at all. You don't have the visibility on consoles, a PC can offer. You're not able to change your system configuration etc.

We have to check each console for about 90 minutes (I did a presentation about this at our Farmcon) and if it just is not okay in a way - it won't be avaiable on consoles. It's really this simple and there is no room for arguments at all - I'm sorry.

How can some modders have a mod on consoles if it's their first mod? I've been wondering this but no one has answered

The real unanswered question is how can you get away with hosting mods from unlicensed brands on your website.Stealing a penny or a million bucks its still stealing.Right?

If it's wrong to use Chevy,Toyota,John Deere etc etc,because of the licensing,then how can GIANTS host these mods on their website? Hope that helped you novass.

Good question indeed...
Does that means that only consoles must follow the laws?

Well would it better that they wouldnt keep whole modhub. Should we go back how it was before. PC ppl still get their mods but consoles wouldnt.

As for the license:
It's a bit complicated, but I'll go with a very easy way to phrase it: We, as a company, can't use brands without a license, players however can more or less do that (as I said, it's a bit more complicated than that, so take it with a grain of salt, please). Every mod on console has to be uploaded by us, so we as a company 'take the responsibility' for the mod and we really can't do that with JD/Claas ect.

Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't the mods on Farming Simulators website uploaded by them? They can upload to PC from the site. Let's say it's 2016 again,PCs have mods,consoles don't,FS website is hosting unlicensed brand mods. How is this not going against the licensing rules?

[redglasses]

^^because their not uploading them just hosting them, with consoles they have to upload them, therefore they take responsibility for the mod becuase they uploaded it, but if they just host it they are not taking responsibility, also ragman ere is no need to go after consoles like that, just because you have a PC doesn't give you the right to be like "oh consoles are second class and shouldn't get mods"

[PrincessJessi84]

I think he meant it as a "do u think its better the old way or would u rather have what u have?" kinda thing.. it didn't seem like he was putting himself and his pc status on a pedestal.. but in the same token it almost feels like people in this thread r saying "if we cant have it they shouldn't either" and to be honest that's kinda a slap in the face as that's where your mods come from be it JD or Lizard.. so yea I think it might be safe to say don't bite the hand that feeds u in this particular circumstance.. maybe people should just stop beating this stupid subject to death.. it is what it is.. everyone has come at this argument from every way under the sun and it still is what it is.. the only thing left is for JD or GM or Ford etc to get on here and break it down from their perspective and I find that very unlikely.. my whole time on pc I have never set out to get a particular brand of anything.. I go for functionality.. if it suits my needs then I use it.. I don't see what the big deal is or y the same redundant topic keeps getting brought back up

[TacoFarmer]

So everybody should just go with the flow and not question anything? I just want to know why.Thats all.I dont care who gets what.I dont care if it goes back to the old ways.
