It gives everyone in the game including your avatar a facelift with more detailed textures that won't kneecap your framerate, without making characters look out of place. We can all agree Bethesda's RPGs aren't often stunners in the hair department.
So many hair mods get carried away turning characters into models, though. Vanilla Hair Replacer aims for more lore-friendly changes for Skyrim's default hair choices so NPCs look a less scraggly but still like they hail from Skyrim. Be sure to check the "recommended mods" section of the page to get your characters looking exactly like the ones in the screenshots.
While Skyrim Special Edition adds plenty of enhanced visuals, it doesn't do a thing to improve the original game's low-poly meshes. This mod edits hundreds of 3D models placed in thousands of different locations for items like furniture, clutter, architectural elements, and landscape objects to make them look nicer and more realistic.
Hear me out. Aside from NPC's faces, what are you going to have your nose up against in Skyrim most often? Well yeah, enemies, but also doors!
Modder "Hype1" has created lots of new door meshes with glorious 4k textures so you'll never be stuck picking the lock on a low-res door again. While you're at it, Book Covers is a mod that will make books as beautiful as they deserve to be. Skyrim is an even more beautiful place thanks to the visual mods and new locations on this list, but you'll want to populate it with interesting people too.
These mods add some of our favorite companion characters, and some cool creatures for them to fight too. This companion mod is a particularly sweet one, based on popular octogenarian YouTuber Shirley Curry, otherwise known as the "Skyrim Grandma". Created by fans and voiced by Curry herself, the Shirley companion shares Curry's likeness. Tamriel's Shirley has her own lore-appropriate backstory too. After you've completed her recruitment quest, Shirley will join you, fighting alongside you as a barbarian warrior—Curry's preferred combat style.
Curry has already started playing with the mod herself, which you can catch the beginning of in her new video series. Maybe you don't think a blue Khajiit who follows you around commenting on everything and being sarcastic about Lydia is what Skyrim needs, but trust us on this.
Inigo has tons of dialogue, some tied to his own questline and more that crops up at appropriate times depending on the location you're at. He can be told where to go and what to do by whistling, and will follow you even if you've got an existing companion, chatting away with them thanks to skilfully repurposed voice lines.
A sequel to a much-loved Oblivion mod which Terry Pratchett contributed to , Vilja in Skyrim adds the great-granddaughter of the original Vilja as a follower. She's an alchemist with her own questline to follow and a unique system to give her orders—essentially spells bound to hotkeys that can be used to co-ordinate attacks.
Like Inigo she doesn't count toward your follower limit, and if introduced to each other Inigo and Vilja will even chat among themselves. Will we ever tire of crossovers between our favorite big RPGs?
No, we definitely will not. This follower mod adds a custom-made Yennefer that re-purposes her lines of dialogue from The Witcher 3. She dual wields magic, of course. Sadly, she isn't eligible for marriage. The same modder has also made a Ciri follower mod and contributed to mods for Geralt and Triss followers all based on their Wild Hunt selves.
This extremely popular mod for Oldrim is one you'll want to grab the Special Edition version of too. It lets you micromanage a lot of details about your companions like their gear, how to fight, and which of your many houses to live in.
This mod makes having a horse much less of a headache. You can have conversations from horseback. You can loot and gather herbs while mounted. Your followers can even buy and ride their own horses instead of sprinting helplessly behind you. Despite the Special Edition's visual overhaul, its dragons are still a bit ho-hum.
This mod, contributed to by a large collection of modders, adds 28 new and unique dragons with different models and textures, and capable of over a dozen new breath attacks and abilities. The dragons come in different ranks as well, to ensure you have a challenge no matter what your level. With Strigoi installed, whenever vampires spawn there's a chance to meet some of its new varieties of bloodsucker.
These powered-up undead might turn into bats, throw you around, or just generally be a lot tougher than regular vampires. Why is it always spiders in RPGs?
Well, it doesn't have to be. Insects Begone replaces all the spiders and chaurus insects with bears and skeevers instead. It also removes decorative spiderwebs and other spider-related decor. If you can't deal with all the giant spiders plaguing Skyrim, this mod will squash them. If being the Dragonborn isn't enough, these mods give you new abilities to tinker with. Some are mundane skills like additional crafting abilities, others are new shouts and spells to play with.
Arcanum is a huge addition to Skyrim's magic system. It lets you summon tornados and meteors among many other feats. It doesn't just throw all these new skills at you as soon as it's installed, though. Arcanum is great for starting a new playthrough of Skyrim with because unlocking spells is a more lore-friendly journey of custom quests, crafting, and adventuring.
CGO strikes a great balance for those wanting a bit more out of Skyrim's combat without turning it into too much of a fast-paced action game. It adds the ability to dodge roll, which surprisingly looks pretty decent in first-person. There's also the ability to switch between one- and two-handed grips to change how attacks land. Oh, and you can attack in midair, along with lots of other smaller tweaks.
Modder "DServant" also created the Archery Gameplay Overhaul which takes a similarly even-handed approach to improving bow use.
Wildcat is a much heavier combat overhaul, and an extremely popular one. It makes combat more deadly with increased damage and stamina use, but that's not all.
It also adds an injury system where taking enough damage has a chance to give you a serious injury that could knock you down, unequip your weapon, or give you other dangerous effects.
It rewards you for properly timed blocks and for attacks of opportunity while enemies are performing other actions too. For the Thieves Guild and Dark Brotherhood members among us, Sneak Tools adds extra functionality to being good at hiding.
Instead of just a damage bonus, you can kill NPCs from behind with daggers, knock them out with fists, and assassinate them while they're sleeping. Hello, I am switching over from FNIS and would very much appreciate it if someone could help me better understand this part about the folder structure. Hi there! But you just want two handed. Simply delete the bow files and put only the ones that you want into the root folder for processing. Okay can you run me through how you would install something like Ultimate Combat?
Its part of your list at the top but there is a lot more going on in that mod then just hkx files so where would everything else go? Then everything that requires the engine would go as per the instructions on this page.
Then just load it below the first mod once you install the output. I think so. Hey there! When I was using it, it worked fine. It's fantastic, a surreal mystery about an underground town maintained by an automated system of Dwemer technology - one that's uncomfortably focused on the inhabitants' ethics. The Dwemer don't really get enough time dedicated to them in Skyrim, despite being the most enigmatic race to ever grace Nirn.
Yet this strange mansion you stumble upon is run by two of their contraptions Guess you'd better find out what's gone on! Moonpath to Elsweyr connects Skyrim to the vast deserts of the feline Khajiit. Here, you can bask under azure skies and hunt ferocious raptors in wild tangles of bush and jungle.
This was actually one of the first quest mods ever made for Skyrim, but has recently started receiving regular updates again, making it one of the best mods around at the moment.
Do you remember the days you spent wandering around Bruma back when Mehrunes Dagon threatened to destroy Tamriel in Oblivion? Well, now you can go back to Bruma from Skyrim. With over 70 residents, Bruma looks better and feels more alive than ever before. The bloody Stones of Barenziah.
This quest sat in my tray for the time it took me to complete all the major quests and a chunk of the sidequests, and I had only found about six.
This mod is essential if you want to get all of the stones and find out what mysterious item they make in the end. Completely worth it. My god, I cannot emphasise enough how much better this mod made Skyrim. As soon as you unlock your dragonborn blood, appearances of these winged reptiles will start becoming as regular as rain.
So why not spice up the sight of them appearing on the horizon with this mod, which introduces 28 news dragons, each with a different model and texture. As well as the typical frost and fire breath, some even have a drain vitality attack, and thanks to their unmistakable appearances you'll be able to tell which one is swooping towards you on the horizon.
Note: The PC link leads to the Bethesda. Have you ever gotten bored of dragons? Cue really useful dragons, which changes all the dragons in Skyrim into Thomas the Tank Engine trains. It fixes a ton of bugs and is compatible with the vast majority of mods. Ultimate Skyrim Available on: PC Functioning as a complete overhaul for Skyrim based around 16 different mods from other creators, this is the mod for people who only want to have to download one mod.
Combat, characters, gameplay, UI - it's all changed and enhanced in one massive upgrade. Don't be fooled by the name: you can actually get textures of up to 8K in this visual-redefining mod that enhances everything in Skyrim's world.
The ground, the sky and everything in between get some kind of visual upgrade, making it all feel a lot more real. We all know how difficult it can be to keep track of everything once you're deep into an adventure, so this overhaul of the user interface on PC shows you greater information for items, displays active effects on screen, and much more. Have you ever been seriously annoyed about the fact that unfinished quests just sit in your journal forever?
Well, thanks to The Choice is Yours, you can just straight up reject quests. This mod adds vast, very visible improvements to the 3D models for most objects in Skyrim. It replaces the low-polygon meshes for most banal objects in the game, and trust me - you'll notice the difference. If you're still unconvinced, head over to their page on Bethesda or Nexus and see the screenshots for yourself. It adds textures to objects in-game such as more plants and grasses, fur looks like fur and not sheets of grey, as well as smoke.
Expect in-game immersion to shoot up after installing this mod. Fed up with being the Dragonborn? Get out there and slay some dragons!
