Skyrim Mods
@ciribi â asked for mod recs so Iâm posting it here because itâs easier. Note: these mods are for base Skyrim, not Skyrim Special Edition. Iâm purposely not including any mods that adjust the textures or meshes of the game, as I donât know how powerful your PC may be. Also Iâm not including gameplay overhauls, as the preference for those is subjective (though I do recommend Requiem if you want difficult gameplay) Now, without further ado, the mods in no particular order:
-
SKSE - Idk what this mod does but almost every other mod out there requires it, so it makes the list. Super easy to install.
SkyUI - Pretty much everyone has this mod. It makes the UI prettier and more intuitive. Also adds the mod menu, which, like SKSE, a lot of mods require.
Alternate Start - Live Another Life - Allows you to skip the longass intro of the game, and provides ~roll playing~ opportunities if thatâs your thing.
RaceMenu - Allows you to heavily manipulate your characterâs face and body using a ton of new sliders. Also allows you to grab your characterâs face by the meshes and edit it from there.
ShowRaceMenu PreCache Killer - Utility mod that needs explaining: if you use the console command âShowRaceMenuâ to edit your appearance past the start of the game, then a lot of your skills are altered to be much lower. This mod prevents that, allowing you to edit your characterâs face and body on the fly without having to worry about losing stats.
LeanWolfâs Better-Shaped Weapons - Adjusts the meshes for weapons to make them more realistic; a lot of the weaponry in skyrim, while looking pretty, are horrifically impractical. This mod fixes that. Also adds sheathes to all weapons, including claymores which rest on your back.
Immersive Armors - Another popular mod. Adds a ton of armors n shit. Most are lore immersive. Ones that are not can be disabled.
Immersive Weapons - Adds mostly immersive weapons. Companion mod to Immersive Armors.
Interesting NPCs (3DNPC) - Mod that adds a TON of new characters and companions to this game. All are voice acted and are quite unique. Some of the NPCs are far better than others (same goes for the voice acting,) but overall I enjoy this mod quite a bit.
Inigo - Listen I dont wanna sound like a furry but imma bouta risk it ALL for this cat man. The ONLY companion mod Iâll ever download. He has his own (incomplete) quest and quite a bit of dialogue Cannot recommend enough. Last update was in 2016 but the author promises to update soon.
(the list got too long)
