    They both have support for mods on PC. But I presume from your question that you are on mobile, probably android. IOS prohibits mods because the nanny state that is Apple has to review every line of code that runs on their platform. Android has recently made some technical changes that have stopped Unity mods built with mono from working, so mods won't be available for Android at least until Unity/mono resolve this issue. In other words this is completely out of the developers, and modders, hands.


    I'm not a SimplePlanes player but my understanding is that it used to support mods on Android before that platform underwent the technical change that broke mods. I also understand that SP has a few very popular mods built in. This is possible even on mobile because the mod code is included as part of the game when it is initially compiled. Normal mods are dynamically loaded at runtime which is where the technical and app store policy problems arise. Theoretically SR2 could do something like this in the future, but given there's still a lot of features to work on I suggest we have patience.

    As far as I know they both have the same support for mods, which is to say that PC supports it, and they cannot add mod support for mobile.
