User blog comment:Wolfishtail/Why isnt Bethsheba tying to release the really well made mods for console?/@comment-5280592-20120828170924/@comment-1726879-20120830121649

They were at it before the game was even out. They told us they were working on it, but as far as we know, they've hit a wall in the form of a lack of security in the system.

It could be possible for them to do it, but it is not necessarily safe to have on peoples consoles, so they're still working on it.

I suppose at best they themselves could authorize the content to be released to consoles, however, that woulld require the owner of the files to be compliant, and that they had tested the mod to ensure there is aboslutely no unintentional bugs. This might work for a few pieces of content, but it's unlikely that they'll be able to bring every mod out this way. It's a difficult position they're in, I'm sure that Sony and Microsoft will not allow them to do this without some form of security in place. I suppose that you could delete the files, but there may be issues with the downloaded mods going somewhere they shouldn't and possibly breaking the console, some people could probably set up viruses in the files and break peoples consoles. Consoles have no security either, so a single dodgy file could very well kill the console, or do vast amounts of damage.

I agree that it's a good idea, but unlike some people, I understand that there's a reason they aren't allowing it to occur. In this case, it's for our own good, and theirs, and the console suppliers. I ask of you to please respect their decision to hold it back until security measures can be created to prevent the issue.
