I don’t know of many other games that are so moddable,” says Junkkari. The largely unprecedented decision to support mods on consoles, as Bethesda did with its 2016 remaster, only added to that. Which begs the question: what is it about Skyrim that has kept it going and going? Then there’s Skyrim – a single-player RPG. Sure, a game staying relevant for several years isn’t unheard of, but such longevity almost always always applies to freemium online games like Fortnite or GTA Online. When that happens, it will be the seventh time Skyrim has been released. Ten years on from its initial release, Bethesda has announced plans for an anniversary edition re-release. Such is its enduring appeal that it has been released on every major console, from PC to Nintendo Switch and even VR.
Within five years Skyrim had sold 30 million copies. The game sold ten million copies when it was released, but within two years that figure had hit 20 million. Then, in the years that followed, something even more unexpected happened: Skyrim kept getting bigger and bigger. But once those early bugs were patched, Skyrim rightly became an instant sensation, becoming one of the best-selling games of the year and the winner of dozens of awards. At the time, the idea that this game would go on to become one of the biggest of all time seemed about as likely as me ever escaping my stony Kafkaesque tomb. The year is 2011, Skyrim has just been released, and I have spent what feels like hours desperately trying to leave the Silver-Blood Inn, but every time I touch the doors to leave my game crashes. If you take out the music and NPC chatter, it looks unrecognisable as being part of Skyrim.I’m sitting in a tavern in Markarth on the brink of a total breakdown.
The video below gives a nice demonstration of what you'll be working towards. The Reddit user even kindly made a spreadsheet cataloguing all of them, and links to their individual pages, should you want to replicate the experience. The two main components on which this entire enterprise is built are the Skyrim Script Extender - required for the mod elaborate mods, and the ENB mod, which removes some baked-in filters and enhances the game's look so that other graphical mods could be applied.īeyond that, there are over 300 miscellaneous mods at play here, with most of them specifically for visuals. Using the PC version of Skyrim Special Edition, 955StarPooper enlisted the help of the excellent - and in this case necessary - Mod Organiser 2. Specifically, what your game could look like with over 300 of them.
Reddit user 955StarPooper has demonstrated just how the entire look of Skyrim can be transformed with the help of mods. There's no such thing as too many mods when it comes to Skyrim.
