The title says it all.
In an AMA hosted on the Xbox One subreddit, Bo, out community manager, stated this about whether or not fans will be allowed to mod the game.
Hiya, thanks for your questions! Jurassic World Evolution will not support modding as of now. We’re not against modding and we’ve seen incredible designs coming from communities in the past, but the level of the detail and visual quality that we’re holding ourselves up to would be very difficult to achieve individually. We’ve been very lucky to work with Universal Studios and get access to great assets to create a world that remains faithful to the look and feel of the films and ultimately we are focusing on delivering the best Jurassic World Evolution experience we can and making sure the vision for the universe as a whole is respected. This is even ignoring the size discrepancies that are merely there to falsely elevate the Tyrannosaurus, thus making the same mistakes Universal did with the Spinosaurus in JPIII.
I talk with no hyperbole when I say that this is possibly the most insulting, backhanded comment that I have seen come from Frontier Developments concerning the game. First off, the game itself is far from perfect with technical glitches, flat and boring AI, questionable dinosaur models, and many other aspects that feel horrifically rushed and half-hearted. So in terms of meeting standards of quality, Frontier doesn't exactly have the privilege of standing on this hill. Second, you don't know the half of "we’ve seen incredible designs coming from communities in the past." In terms of skins alone, what I've seen coming from reddit users like steamblust and 1Ballada9 have made skins that are much better than the ones currently in the game, which are currently incredibly bland and ugly. Who knows what they could do if they could implement these skins into the game. Even going away from skins, super talented model makers like Siaka Dibba, david222, Ben Jewer, Julien Romeo, Samy Aissaoui, the people of Jagged Fang Designs, Curtis Lanaghan, and wolfhooligans. All of these people could easily make their models available for a triple-A game.
So to make a long story short, don't undersell us for the sake of either selling more DLC or to not trigger Universal's ire.
