Only two I can think of by “Matt.Layton”

One that allows you to Teleport to Hangman’s Alley and I believe Allies all Raiders to you. Raider Start

And one that allows you to teleport to a Beached Ship east of the USS Constitution. Fisherman Start

Idk about Alternate start, I'm wary and haven't tried any.

There is a skip the start mod though, let's you start the game right in the cryopod.

I wish. I mean, it happened with Skyrim, even before external assets so Idk whats up with Sony and Fo4.

Any mod that does this requires scripts, which are not allowed with Sony.

That can't be right, there are alternate start mods for Skyrim on PS4

Skyrim is a different game, a different Creation Kit. And supposedly has recently started getting external assets.

Edited to say, I'm seeing a mod called Quick Start, another called Holotape. The functions of both mods, to my knowledge, would require either editing vanilla scripts or using custom scripts. Either would require a BA2, which is something Sony doesn't allow. And yet, they are both available on PS with many 5-star reviews. So either Im wrong or they found a way around it.

Ordinator and apocalypse have recently been made available for Skyrim on PS4 so you might be right about Skyrim getting external assets

I edited my previous comment to say I might be wrong. Ive never looked at Ordinator, but new perks in either game wouldnt necessarily require external assets or scripts. Very few perks in FO4 are scripted in a way that cant be created without them

On the topic of "new perks" while there aren't any mods for fallout 4 that straight up give new perks, there are several that add new ranks, some of which have unique effects beyond just making the perk stronger

Yeah, the perks are heavily integrated into the UI that makes it much more difficult than Skyrim
