You can mod consoles to a certain extent with either iso discs or USB modding, but it is completely impossible to input mods that add all new content/textures to a console because their platform doesn't support any new meshes/textures/content that exceed the limits of the original game. That, and modding a game for the xbox breaks it's service rights code, and breaches rules under piracy (Which is complete bullshit.) and if you are caught doing so you will be banned. It's bullshit, and only attests to how terrible the service is.
The fact that the modding community for skyrim is so extensive definitely makes the game better. It's literally like getting an unlimited supply of DLC for free at any time, and even being able to create personalized DLC for yourself/friends with an easy to use creation kit. I mean, there were mods for Skyrim DLC that did the exact same things the DLC did (I'm talking about hearthfire, that made you have the ability to make a home.) months before it came out, and those mods were even free & didn't have the same bullshit limits..
Modding plays a definite role on bettering a game. Which would you rather play?
A game where new and fresh content is defined by overpriced DLC that the developers come out with maybe twice a year?
Or a game where new and fresh content is defined by thousands of people in the community constantly pumping out ever evolving content that you can get completely for free with the click of a button, that come out literally hundreds of times a week?
I'll let you choose.

You totally missed my point. I'm not saying mods dont make the game better, they obviously do. But what the community provides shouldn't grant Bethesda kudos for making a great game. That praise goes to the modders but Skyrim as a vanillia game is dire. ad the majority play it vanillia because they play console or dont have a powerful enough rig to run it with mods.
You have to judge the game based on the day of release and what bethesda provide. Not what the community comes up with months later.

Oh okay, yeah, then I definitely agree with you on the point that it doesn't grant the developers kudos. Sorry for that
