Console Mod Market

We have all heard of the infamous Creation Club, but one interesting thing would be to have mod support for consoles (ps4/xbox/switch/etc) for the OG BGEE games. It'd be awesome to download behavior packs, UI revamps/color changes, and sidequests. Also, any hopes of getting online Switch support as well as keyboard/mouse functionality?

    If Bethesda is anything to go by, then mod support would only really work with XBox. PS4 mods are very limited by Sony's draconian "no new assets" rule. And Nintendo strictly prohibits any kind of mods on the Switch - not even Skyrim's paid Creation Club content. Pretty much the only way to do modding on a Switch involves jailbreaking it first. And that comes with the risk of bricking it. Nintendo banning your console and/or account. Or all three things at the same time.

    Backporting keyboard and mouse functionality for Beamdog's console releases on the other hand seems reasonable feasible to do. On a similar note, I'd also like to see controller functionality to be backported for their mobile releases.
