My main goal when modding Skyrim has always been to turn it into a hardcore RPG. This means high difficulty, graphical fidelity and all the little details that go along with it. Improved combat, crafting, weapons & armor, magic system, completely overhauled perk trees etc. Basically everything has been re-touched with the help of mods. However, since my full build has well over 600 plugins...

Magic is a big part of Skyrim. There are so many magic related mods out there, I can’t possibly talk about all of them. But I can mention what I use and provide a brief explanation of what each one does. You can also watch the video if you prefer. Some of the mods on this list might not be 100% exclusively magic related, but they do influence the gameplay significantly so that’s why...

Skyrim’s default UI is absolutely horrible. It was clearly ported from consoles to PC and never really given second thought. In this guide I am going to show you how to completely take control over your UI and make it extremely enjoyable. We’ll start off with the (arguably) most important mod of all time. Also, if you never modded Skyrim and would like to get started, here’s my...

Did you know that you could overhaul Skyrim SE graphics (pretty much) completely with only 7 (or less) mods? Of course, there are many more mods out there that I’m also using in my full modded build, but if I were to boil it down to just 7 mods that deal with textures & ambience, this would be it. Also, if you never modded Skyrim and would like to get started, here’s my beginner...

The single most important armor mod of all time. At least when it comes to combat & protection system overhaul. True Armor will completely change the way armor behaves in Skyrim. While it can get a bit script heavy since it analyzes all actors on the battlefield, there’s a powerful MCM menu that will let you fine tune it exactly how you see fit. The menu features a ton of different...

Have you ever wondered who are the most badass modded enemies you could possibly fight in Skyrim? Well, it turns out there’s quite a few that made it on this list. From smaller creepy Dwarven constructs, to mega-sized golems of all kinds, you’re bound to startle yourself if you install these enemy mods. What’s even crazier is that all of the creatures showcased in this video are...

Wards in vanilla Skyrim are pretty bad. They cost too much, they charge slowly and they are easily broken and negated. Not to mention that they don’t even protect against melee or ranged weapons. With this mod, all of that changes. Reduced cost, increased magnitude and ward strength, anti melee/ranged capabilities, optional plugin for deflecting projectiles completely etc. In addition to...

Making Skyrim look great is a big part of the modding game. There are hundreds, and even thousands of graphics mods out there. In this guide I’ll mention pretty much everything that I use in my full modded build. I’ll give you the big ones and if anything else shows up later, you can find on Nexus yourself relatively easy. We can try and categorize them a bit too. If you don’t...
