Top 5 Skyrim Mods

Skyrim for PC offers players a near unlimited choice of modifications to improve and alter the game. Some are a little odd, like the mod to turn dragons into Rastafarians, whereas others are truly beneficial additions to the overall experience of navigating Skyrim. Here are 5 of the best of those available mods with all their download links at the bottom of each respective section, you lucky people.



5. Frost Fall

Frostfall takes some inspiration from Skyrim’s younger brother Fallout and implicates a survival mechanic. Where you used to be able to trudge through the snow in nothing but your underwear without so much as a wince with Frostfall installed you’ll have to think twice about those mountaintop hikes. Frostfall’s survival mechanics focus on the weather and its effect on the player, hypothermia becomes a contractible illness and warm clothing sets becomes crucial additions to your inventory. A new camping skill with craft able materials is also added to give players the option to set up camp until the blizzard passes. The mod adds a whole new dimension to gameplay and offers an new challenge for players who’ve already maxed the game.

4. Tundra Defense

Ever felt it’s about time you owned and commanded a settlement of your own? Well now you can! The Tundra Defense mod allows you to build an outpost (almost anywhere) and gradually build it up in a similar way to the way you kit out your breezehome. Along with having a defended settlement to rest your weary head after a day of dragon hunting you’re also able to mobilize attacks against raiders. On the flipside they’re also able to attack you so it’s pretty handy that you can conscript a dwemer guardian or a dragon to defend your city walls. Think fantasy style tower defense.

3. Ultimate Follower Overhaul

This mod is relatively simple as all it does is raise the follower limit all the way up to 15. Now the Dragonborn will never be lonely again. Although the applications are quite limited for more experience players (followers just seem to get in the way) it’s hard to understate the value a few extra companions would be for a newer player. Although if you do wander around with 15 followers things are always titled a little in your favor you’re also able to have 15 followers residing in your house instead. So couple this with the Tundra Defense mod and you’ve got yourself a small army and a dragon defending your town. The modder has also helpfully added so extra dialogue options to help you discover a little more about your fellow adventurer and to aid controlling so many.

2. Hunting In Skyrim

This mod builds on the foundations of hunting already available in Skyrim and delivers a whole new guild dedicated to the skill. More options are available when hunting and a new economic structure is built around it. There are now collectors and traders dedicated to pelts and meat exchange and also hunter groups that do it just for sport. 10 new quest lines are added along with developed skinning mechanics and pelt prices now reflect the new economy that’s appeared in Skyrim. This is a particularly fun mod if you’re a skilled bowman or really want to improve your archery skill.

1. Unofficial Skyrim Patch

Skyrim is buggy, and Dragonborn can tell you that, but thankfully the tech wizards at Bethesda work hard to deliver patches and tweaks that aim to squash all those pesky bugs that ruin your dragon slaying. Thing is, that takes time and the skilled Skyrim modder community realized that they could fix the problems quicker than Bethesda could. That’s where the Unofficial Skyrim Patch comes in. It fixes a huge amount of problems you come across in Skyrim helping to make your gameplay a streamlined experience, they also work hard to make sure that the mod remains compatible with each official patch Bethesda release for the game too. If bugs ruin your day then this mod is most definitely the one for you.
