I am busy downloading Skyrim on PS4 and it needs to download about 10gb of the total to be playable.
What does this mean? Can I play the full game minus the DLCs and mods until the full download is complete?

A Game can be playable before it has finished downloading the core files needed to start the game. If the download does not run in the background, then you will get a message in the middle of your playthrough saying the rest will need to download. I am not sure if the PS4 downloads in the background(I think it does), but if it does, then you can play and, as long as your internet speed is fast enough, then you should be able to play it smoothly as if it was fully downloaded. I am not sure about DLCs and mods but I assume they need files that might not have been downloaded yet.
