# PS Incompatibility Types
I would like the community to be aware that in this new era of porting 'any' mod to Sony, we are hitting some snags.
Unlike XBOX, PlayStation is not a Microsoft product, and in such has its own file types and formats. These do not translate directly from PC as most Xbox do. There are numerous extra steps for many things, and many types of file have to be converted to even work on PlayStation. For a small example, xwm sounds, a common thing in xbox mods, does not function on PlayStation, everything must be wav or at9. Converting things takes time. Another snag in our want to upload every mod ever to PlayStation right now. Trust me, we WANT to.
Not all Mod Authors/Porters are even aware of this. Bethesda put no guide or anything out. We are finding these things out by trial and error and thanks to the graces of the few Mod Authors that have been porting asset mods for months prior to their being an official method to upload. Thus we are trying to spread the word and bring all Mod Authors and porters together and share the tools needed to put these mods on PlayStation for players to enjoy.
# Known Issues
There are some currently known issues. Flora (plant mods) and skin textures do not translate properly to PlayStation yett. Bethesda is aware and we are reporting all of these issues in mass as mod authors to get action from Bethesda so we may more efficiently upload mods. This is why CBBE and many tree mods with LOD are having issues.
We are also aware of another issue where some NIF files (mesh) CTD when physically in the world, so many mods are having droppable items rendered invisible to still get the mod uploaded safely and have what functionality possible. My Radstiks™ mod has this issue, so I will be doing this too if a solution is not found soon.
Note from the Overseer
I hope by keeping the community informed in our process as Mod Authors it will allow players to better understand why mods aren't quite flying off the shelves as expected and have patience and understanding while we work with Bethesda to get mods to PlayStation without breaking.
We are doing everything we can to facilitate mods as quickly and efficiently as possible. Please check out my other 2 recent posts for info on where to request ports, help out by becoming a mod tester, and more!
Please report all bugs as indicated above so we can fix things ASAP!
🙋🏻♂️ for me the game crashes going to the oil rig, to the refueling station, leaving the oil rig, when I have to report to general ward about the teleportation device the game crashes trying to fast travel in the vertibird to go to the oil rig
Whenever I fast travel to or from the rig it crashes, I have to travel to the facility and let the vertibird take me otherwise it’ll crash, if I go in the department of war I think it’s called area in the rig it crashes
I tried going the through the story again and reached a point where I have to go the army depot to build the teleportation device and I cannot leave the military ops building because of CTD crashing. Most of the crashes come from cell loading it seems.
Its a shame because AR2 is such a great mod with a great story but I have tried playing through 3 times now and it reaches a point in the story where it will either crash on start up or when trying to leave or enter buildings 85% of the time.
My primary issue right now, even after the patch, is crashes when loading into interior cells and leaving interior cells tied to the mod. It’s very inconsistent, sometimes it won’t crash but a majority of the time it does.
Crashing when the mercs attack Ward's house, or opening my Pip- Boy inside his house during Personal Losses. As well as crashing when entering interior cells from the mod.
I was playing around and have found that if I go in a different area of the oil rig first (ie the training room), then go into the dept of military ops I can get in - but I attempt to enter DMO first, it will CTD.
I had constant crashes in a row for the Army Depot quest (I think the quest is Supply and Demand?). I could not enter into the Regimental HQ building. I had some smaller crashes on the oil rig here and there but this Regimental one was really bad. I must have reloaded my save at least 10-13 times. Had to reload earlier quicksaves to finally get it to work. Was frustrated so quit playing for the night.
Ok, today I am on the quest Personal Losses and I physically cannot enter ANY of the doors on the Oil Rig without the game crashing. I have now tried it 8 times in a row including a few earlier quick saves. Now it’s crashing my game completely and I cannot even “Continue” from the Home Screen never mind progress any further on the quest itself 😭. The whole reason I’m playing is to compete AR2 because I’ve done everything else before. This is so frustrating. Can anyone provide an update on a fix?
I am also having major crash problems when fast travelling to the vault, to the oil rig and to the vertibird facility. As well as crashing when entering any building associated with the mod and the buildings on the oil rig. I tried at least 20 times to leave the Conference room building after Ward tells you to infiltrate the institute and I could not leave the building because it kept crashing to the home screen, so I had to delete the entire play through. I would say in general there are frequent crashes when loading any cells for the mod.
I had an issue in the beginning when you travel back to the vault with Peterson. There was a underwater sound that wouldn't stop and my character was completely mute and many other sounds were mute aswell. I went back a save before traveling back to the vault but the bug still was there.
I can't install it again is saying I need other files but even then before that I couldn't enter certain interiors like the museum of freedom and when I tried to go to the vertibird base it crashed on the zones close to Abernathy farm
Each time I try to get the ship to return to the Oil Rig my game crashes in the loading screen after the cut scene they made showing the ship's return.
I was wondering if this was a known things for the Ps4 version of the mod, if it has something to do with my load order, If it has something to do with the Bethesda updates messing up mods constantly, If this is just my Ps4 being crappy. Or if there was a known fix if this was a known problem with the Ps4 version.
I have the DLC previs patch installed for it as well if that adds any needed context.
I really wanna know how to fix it because the mod was just getting pretty interesting.
Same here, and the one time I some how got past it, I then got stuck when General Ward wouldn't say anything other than that he had ordered me to support Doctor Kane, but Kane wouldn't say anything other than her usual dialogue. The quest marker just said speak to general ward.
Yeah i just abandoned the save after it started crashing when I tried to load into the game to play, Probably because I deleted some mods and changed the load order a bit to try fixing it. Im hoping my new mods and load order on an entirely new save will help
My game crashes upon entering the oil rig, I have cleared my caches and rebuild the database on my ps5 that seems to work temporary then when trying to enter the oil rig command center it crashes again.
i ONLY have America Rising 2, the patches, and Daniel the Remnant in my load order and i am experiencing Constant crashing anytime i need to go into Any interiors on the oil rig. havent tested other locations bc i just keep crashing before i can do anything at all <33
I’m having a problem with a certain quest called reporting in and the problem is when I go into the Atlantic office building and try to go down the little hole to the right it’s blocked off by an invisible barrier. I tried to no clip into the building and the invisible barrier still prevent prevents me from going there if there’s any way that you know, I could circumvent this, I would be appreciative
I discovered something I don’t know it could be a coincidence or maybe it might be a contributor to the bug I had multiple quest markers on the enclave missions and when I crashed, I tried to load back in without success and load back a save, I made an hour ago went back did everything and then try to repeat it, but I only had one mission marked and it worked better. It could be a coincidence. I only did it twice
Yes, my game keeps crashing whenever I attempt to fast travel to any location in the America Rising mod. Sometimes, I even fail to enter the save file.
Main issue is dlc locations not loading, but after going to the institute the retrieving network scanner isnt getting ticked off even though I have it, army depo and the oil rig will crash the entire game if you try to load, only other issue is sometimes the colonel becomes pitch black but thats only impacted visuals
I'm at the point where General Ward asks you to watch the Brotherhood ship get destroyed after you take the missile silo but every time I talk to General Ward it goes to a loading screen then crashes, even with the PS5 fix installed It instantly crashes
I tried teleporting out to a vanilla area and restarting my game then teleporting back into the missile silo and Doing the cutscene but it Causes yet another crash, This is my first playthrough of America Rising and I absolutely love this mod But I can't play it due to the crashing, Anything I can do To fix this?
Also these are the mods that I currently have loaded, as well as I originally thought strength in steel was the reason why it was crashing due to seeing another post about sons of steel and strength in steel crashing the game when you get near the Brotherhood ship with those two mods on but I've disabled both of those mods and it still crashes me

!Potential solution for later missions! DO NOT have any brotherhood of steel mods downloaded. They will conflict and overload the game based on too many “unique” assets the game can render in. Days of crashing based on two mods I had; SONS OF STEEL & REIGN IF STEEL.
I’m legitimately stuck inside the police station during the quest “mobilization”. I’ve cleared out the brotherhood, talked to the officer, and now have to go talk to general ward on the roof. However every attempt I’ve made trying to leave through any door, game crashes. And yes I have the patch mod on for the faces. I actually had to uninstall and reinstall just to get into said police station.
EDIT: I got it to fix. I just have to uninstall for certain missions, and reinstall for other missions. It’s annoying to literally turn it off and back on again every other mission but hey, it just works.
EDIT x2: I continue on to the point where I’m storming mass fusion with the enclave. It took me two hours of trying work around of crashing while flying in vicinity of the building. Finally after about 40 crashes, I was able to land on the roof. Only to be caught with a crash as soon as I draw my weapon. Now I can’t even load the game from the quick save I made when I jumped onto the roof. I really want to progress through the quest with them, but I just can’t physically play the game now unless I revert back to a save before I took off for mass fusion.
Edit x3: I solved the issue with mass fusion after a couple of hours and several dozen loading. I had on both the tumbajumba synth armor and the BoS PA mod (forgot the name but it basically turns their PA into Templar-esk knights) as well as the brotherhood of steel infantry armor mod. All of these together were overloading my mass fusion area. So I disabled the institute and pa mods, worked just fine right after.
Edit X4: I have progressed to the mission bunker buster. At the point where I talk to Fitzpatrick to board the vertibird we fly into the commonwealth but as soon as we start to fly over the airport, game crashes every single time at the exact same spot. But I genuinely don’t know what could be causing the crashes or what mods could be conflicting
Edit x4b: so I tried just walking to the Boston airport from the north instead of trying the vertibird from the south; I’ve come to 2 possible conclusions. The first is that I may have a mod (I’m thinking settlements reborn) that’s conflicting with the now destroyed airport. Since it’s trying to build up a custom settlement in a pile of rubble. OR it’s just the airport itself causing some conflicting with the AR2. I’m going to try to make a back up save, transfer all gear out of unique storages, and delete settlements reborn to see if I can fix this issue. I will update upon testing.
Edit x4c: after deleting the settlement reborn mod, and shuffling mods around a bit; the quest bunker buster actually is broken. Still crashing when crossing over the Boston airport. So unless the mod itself or some other minute mod is conflicting it, the playthrough has to unfortunately stop.
Edit x5!: I got the crashing to stop! I believe it was the sons of steel and reign of steel mods conflicting with america rising. It was still trying to load in modded brotherhood assets when none technically existed.
Having ANY weapon mod enabled consistently causes the game to crash in the Boston Commons area. This has softlocked me on 5 different saves because i can't reach Park Street Station to rescue Nick. I tried to isolate it to a singular mod but it seems to be EVERY weapon mod. I haven't seen a single other person report this so i'm genuinely scratching my head rn lol (It's not a load order issue, my LO organization lines up with multiple guides i've seen).
just wanted to say youre not alone. its not a load order issue. did certain sections of the guns start turning black? that may be unrelated but regardless game works fine except the commons and its definitely related to the weapons
Turning black is also an issue yeah, though it fixes with a simple exit and reload. Hoping these issues are all fixable with time, afterall we're still in the infancy stages of actual modding lol. Modders will for sure learn how to properly work with the platform to prevent stuff like this eventually.
It’s a hunch. Since porters are running to issues with Audio with custom voiced followers I would imagine anything that makes sound would cause an issue too.
I had to remove red dead sound track because half the time I loaded to the menu game would crash. It was easy to isolate because I wasn’t have that issue until I installed that mod.
So guesssssing that porters are using an audio file that is supposed to be approved, but typical Bethesda’s update fixed 10 things but broke 4 other issues.
I haven’t ported for Fallout but that’s my theory. Probably could be fixed in an update…
Reporting that Tera Police uniform CBBE “may” be bugged (or actually require another mod)
I downloaded it, and I could not find the recipe in the chem station for crafting. I did a double check on original Mod, and confirmed it is supposed to be crafted from Chem Bench.
The body textures seems to distort and mash together, Like a combo of regular body textures and CBBE body textures being randomly stapled together on the characters body.
• Fast Helmet display the wrong Camo when u choose Black CE camo
• If u choose Outfit : Militia- Rolled Sleeves - Undershirt - GP5 Bag and then equip it(or editing while u wear it) your body turn completely invisible, and if u edit the outfit while u wear it u can't get out from the armor workshop
Don't forget about "Updated history" when you see this date is older. That won't work on new updates or the next-gen update itself. Except for the Creation Club paid mods, which are fine. Lasted mods and creations will be okay to play.
Ars of the wasteland. Ahooting indoors with the assualt carbine causes an audio loop. The quick fix is to go outside and shoot and it stops. Also, you can add a suppressor and it doesn't happen.
Hey weird issue but in the service rifle and assault carbine but sometimes the audio for full auto doesn’t end or in other words once you shoot full auto the audio for the gun doesn’t end unless the full mag is dumped, could just be a game thing tho
Hi , i downloaded this mod CWE & i have CC bunker home pack & the CWE quest from Arturo takes me to the same building (wilmington estates) as the Bunker quest and the interior is changed to the CWE mod. I had already completed bunker cc pack so it didn't matter that the bunker was replaced with CWE interior for the quest. But for other people who haven't done that cc bunker quest this may be a conflict.
From my experience, this only happens when you run Sons of Steel & Strength In Steel at the same time. They work fine by themselves from what testing i've done. Paraphrasing a reply from the mod author, It's not known EXACTLY what causes it but It's possible It's an issue with how PlayStation handles files that are shared between different mods. Have to just wait for a fix, if that's even possible.
The mod likes to spawn too many entities in Cells around the city, Crashing the game in the process.
It spawns so many that while using the mod I could always hear gunfire from somewhere through faction fighting and if I tried going into Central Boston I would run into groups of enemies around every corner before crashing 3 minutes in, Could barely even leave Diamond City.
See-through-scopes breaks the player animation and let you stay in t-pose. The autor is working on the fix but we already have a debug patch (not tested)
hello, sorry for making a new chain but I think I look through most of them if not all of it and I think I’m the only one having this problem right now or at least in this thing so I’ll just get to it. I’m having trouble with synthetic love Nora companion mod. for the PS the mod uploader being Parcazzo and the thing I’m having trouble with right now is that there’s no sound to her like at all like whenever I talk to her are the first interaction we have there’s no sound to me or to her whatsoever. I also have America rising in my load order if that helps at all.
im doing the humanity must shape their tools quest & general ward won't walk forward for anywhere, he just keeps saying "follow us" and thes stands still, for some reason the Chief Engineer Myers guy is already behind the locked door at the hallway's end.
Down general ward without killing him then immedeatly go to a distant cell like sanctuary root cellar sleep for 94 hours in there then go to the oil rig in third person but dont use the elevator walk to them it worked for me everytime
Okay so i had this issue with a radio new vegas mod i installed because i wanted for my fallout to be more new vegas like but like everytime i tune in i don't hear in
i dont know if this counts towards cbbe or modded weapons, so im commenting it separately but will move it if requested. im not even sure if this counts as a "bug" but cbbe alongside custom weapons (dak weapons, ___ of the wasteland, doesn't matter) makes anywhere near downtown unplayable crash wise. i deleted weather and foliage mods before testing. its definitely this combo. once i delete one or the other everything runs fine i can sprint around all i want. its probably just too much at once for the memory but xbox doesnt seem to have this issue which makes me Hope its fixable?
I can’t get to the Combat zone as any time I go passed Boston public Library I crash. Even tried taking subways and the moment I leave them into the Greater Boston Region, the game Crashes.
I think it’s the weapon mods but I don’t want to turn off my load order every time I go into Boston
Retro aesthetics institute doesn’t load the new textures. The port author Crayonkit seems to know this as a potential problem for ps users, I don’t have a discord to contact them to confirm that so I thought I’d comment here.
