More architecture is added into the game in the form of ancient ruins, statues, and watchtowers, making Skyrim feel thousands of years old, with a history and culture to match. The mod adds a level of depth to the outside environment and gives players new things to see. There are no quest add-ons or anything of the like, but that's not the point. It is designed to make Skyrim feel more realistic, allowing players to get lost in the beauty of the game.
Skyrim didn't become one of the best PC games of all time simply for its gameplay. Environment modders have done yeoman's work to overhaul some of the ugliest parts of the game, including Blended Roads, which is a must-have when it comes to graphical detailing and fidelity.
It overhauls the texture blending and implementation of the various roads and paths in Skyrim, eliminating seams and other eyesores that can pop up.
This ensures that the roads in Skyrim will look their absolute best at all times. As always, be sure to keep an eye out for compatibility patches in order to work with other mods. Convenient Bridges was first released for "Oldrim" back in in alpha format, but a Special Edition beta version was ported shortly thereafter.
Both offer a sense of historical immersion by implementing a series of makeshift bridges into Skyrim, which adds a lot to the experience. The bridges themselves have either been cobbled together with wood planks and a few nails, or they're the result of natural phenomena, such as collapsed ruins and trees.
Not only does this make it easier to get around Skyrim, but it also adds to the feeling of adventure, which is a double-win. There are many mountain mods for Skyrim, all of which overhaul the drab, clunky, and unattractive rockfaces in the game. Majestic Mountains is one of the most downloaded, and for good reason. It's a must-have for many of today's most seasoned Skyrim modders.
The mod itself offers several different choices of mountain type, including a light and dark version. Special Edition players should also install Better Dynamic Majestic Mountains to fix a visual bug in the game.

A few notes though: the more mods you run, the more likely your game will glitch out, have bugs, or crash. Especially with multiple mods running in the background, it can be difficult to ascertain exactly which mod is causing a glitch or a crash.
In order to find out, start testing your mods one at a time by disabling all other mods save for the one you want to test. Good luck, and happy modding! Tip 2: Learn How to Manually Install Skyrim Mods Thankfully, most, if not all, the mods available in both Steam and Nexus come with handy, detailed, and easy-to-follow instructions that are designed to be as foolproof as possible.

His and the Dragonborn's relationship will play out organically through conversations and dialogue decisions. As far as combat is concerned, Kaidan is a satisfactory tank. He can withstand as well as deal respectable amounts of damage in a fight. Getting to know Kaidan, either platonically or romantically, is something worth considering when choosing interesting follower mods.
Follower mods with well-crafted character arcs are hard to come by. Lucien is one of the few who possesses such an arc and is one of the most popular mods on Nexus for this reason. Lore-friendly and containing over 5, lines of custom dialogue, getting to know Lucien's story is a rewarding experience in itself. Although inept at combat at first, Lucien will learn from the player, becoming more competent as time goes on. The player can also train Lucien to expedite the process.
He even has special interactions with other followers on this list, such as Inigo, Hoth, and Kaidan, and also reacts either positively or negatively to the player's decisions.
It's definitely a mod that deserves serious attention. Sofia is one of the most highly endorsed follower mods on Nexus. Her popularity stems mainly from her humorous and often lewd lines of custom dialogue. Traveling with her tends to brighten Skyrim 's dreary atmosphere considerably. The voice acting for Sofia is also top-notch. Listening to her jokes and comments doesn't get old easily, and breaks up the humdrum routines of exploration. Players looking for another lighthearted companion should certainly consider Sofia on their next playthrough.
Longtime veterans of the game probably know most of the vanilla NPCs by heart at this point. The Interesting NPCs mod injects some much-needed freshness to the proceedings by adding over fully voiced characters. Their backstories, personalities, and motivations are all unique, and thus there simply isn't enough time to thoroughly examine each one. Players should install the mod and discover their interesting stories for themselves. As with the Khajiit, there's a startling lack of High Eleven followers in vanilla Skyrim.
Nebarra , an Altmer mercenary, is something of an underrated mod. He's fully voiced, and often incorporates unique interactions with other NPCs. Nebarra's personality is described as rude and gruff. As a veteran of the Great War , he doesn't suffer fools lightly. Nebarra even possesses his own personal quest players can undertake off the coast of Solstheim. It's certainly not a bad mod for fans who want to experiment with different follower add-ons.
If Inigo fails to satisfy one's need for more Khajiit companions, then the Khajiit Will Follow mod may be of some interest. This particular mod adds four additional Khajiit companions, along with over 5, lines of unique dialogue.
Each follower has their own personality and play style. The mod also adds a few new weapons, armor, and a hidden quest that goes along with their backstories. If ever Skyrim needed more cats , Khajiit Will Follow gets the job done admirably. These mods can leave Oblivion looking like it's a game that was just released yesterday.

However, his love of gaming has never dissipated over the years. A good, old-fashioned RTS title will always bring him back into the fold.
