Recent backlash in response to QOL mods for Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake has highlighted a fundamental difference in how mods are viewed in Japan vs in the West.
It took me skyrim and running through a techno hello kitty cave as super Mario wielding a lightsaber* to realize that modding is actually cool and that I hate that I can’t easily mod my console games.
I love Breath of The Wild, but I’m playing my third run of it on my steam deck with a significant amount of mods because those devs have a serious aversion to simple and basic qol
Honestly it was a hassle that took quite a while to get everything working correctly, but for me personally it was worth it.
