    Consoles are absurdly scared of any type of remote or external data loading. The 3DS was hacked by scanning QR codes, loading themes, loading audio files. The Wii was hacked by literal Bluetooth packets, messages, JPGs.

    Some games, in some consoles, allow “mods” which are essentially a pre-curated selection of scripts that reuse the in-game assets or, if they are new assets, are already uploaded to Sony/Microsoft and get downloaded as if they were DLC.

    Actual mods only exist on PC.
