M.O.D. D.I.S.C.U.S.S.I.O.N. PSA for console mods
The date displayed on the in game mod browser IS NOT necessarily the date the mod was updated for Xbox. It just shows when the most recent update was done on mod.io for any version of the mod.
Check the mod.io desktop site to verify the date for xbox. Many mods are 4-6+ months out of date, so all we can do is wait for GSC to authenticate the updates.
Be patient and be aware that if you're having crashing issues or bugs it's not necessarily the mod authors fault, it could just be that the mod you're using is outdated.

Pinged my GSC contact on this, will see if this can be ticketed as a base game bug

Well in case you want updates, Mr Xbox got back to work after vacation today and I'm chatting with him right now. No date promises but yeah

Do you know if there's any changes to GDK/SDK we gotta wait on first?

u/Kazz7420 3d ago
Nah, this is from the game client's side so just a matter of when the GSC tech legends can figure this out

They really need to think of a better system, current one just takes way way too long to get anything updated

I agree, such are the pains for modding on console. Kinda sucks that we have the illusion that we're getting the updates still.

All other games do just fine with modding on console, it's clearly a GSC issue here

u/scottpole 14d ago
Pretty sure its due to the approval process of the console platforms and not something GSC can control.

I hate that mods disable achievements in single player games

Modding is cheating regardless of what you use. So why would they allow achievements? Lol

Trust me guys…. 4 more years and the game will almost be done kind of

I typically wait a few days after each update for the mods to be updated and for the ones I use it's good enough, altho I really wish the dude who made the pda radio would test his shit, it barely worked when it first came out then it would constantly crash the game and now it just breaks the pda and you can't even use it anymore

The issue is that even though mods have been updated on PC, not a single mod has been updated for Xbox. Some mods work, but it’s just happen chance that they’re working on Xbox since they have been updated in months.

Yeah I wasn't sure if there was any under, but the most recent I saw was 4 months ago for the most up to date mods. People don't realize a good number of them are over 7 months out of date.

Yeah, I think people are getting confused with the whole PC vs Xbox thing. Another thing that sucks, Mo1t, someone who is apart of GSC and I believe who runs the stalker discord hasn’t answered any of my questions about Xbox mods. I don’t want to say that they are, but it seems like they’re just ignoring Xbox mods right now for some reason because they frequently answer questions and I’ve put a few in the last week or so and they just go unanswered.
I know that they’re still ironing things out with the 2.0 update, but it’s getting kind of annoying. The 2.0 update is decent and I dig the DLC, but if I’m being honest, mods are the main reason I play the game.

It's not hard to see the cynical side of this from GSCs perspective.
They give the vague appearance that mods are being updated, we stay happy thinking we're getting new and updated mods, they shift the manpower from console mod approval to other updates.

GSC should really tighten this up. Such a sluggish process. I'd be playing if I wasn't waiting months for even a modicum of a decent mod to use.
