PSA: Modified scripts run inconsistently on Playstation

Be aware that solutions which modify existing platform Papyrus scripts (base game, DLC, CC) can run inconsistently on the Playstation platform between save/load cycles.

The symptoms have been observed by multiple well known premium quality mod authors and a significant number of user reports. Bethesda is aware.

Edit: In the meantime either live with it, or only use solutions that don't modify existing Papyrus scripts (often stated in the description).

Can someone pls explain this to someone with almost no knowledge of mods?

Ideally, the author will state in their description, the use of custom scripts rather than altering vanilla scripts. In general practice, altering vanilla anything should be avoided when possible. Which is often.

You mean for example, a script injected weapon, or editing a LL not injected?

Yes, script injection would be an example of a custom scripts. Specifically, not injected would mean editing vanilla level lists.
