The first mod is Unofficial High Definition Audio Project. There’s only a few mods here that you need, and arguably not even all of them.

Audio ModsĪudio is often neglected and it can really help improve the overall atmosphere of the game. Now that we’ve got the basics covered, let’s move on. With these 3 mods alone, your game will be much better off. Unofficial patch will resolve hundreds of bugs and gameplay issues, and SSE Engine Fixes will do something similar, but with the engine of the game instead. It also has its own MCM menu so spend a few minutes there configuring things the way you see fit. SkyUI will greatly improve the overall UI of the game, but also provide MCM menu capabilities for all other mods to utilize. Let’s start with 3 mods everyone should be running at all times. I’ll be talking from a Skyrim SE ( Special Edition) perspective, but this also works for LE ( Legendary Edition) if that’s what you’re playing.Īlso, if you never modded Skyrim and would like to get started, here’s my beginner modding guide that should bring you up to speed.

You should of course add other mods as well, but this guide should get you started and pointed in the right direction. So instead, I’ll give you my super short version of all the most important mods that you need to achieve something similar. It took me weeks of modding the game to get to that point, resolving all the conflicts, patching things up etc. However, since my full build has well over 600 plugins, writing a guide covering all of that would be tremendously time consuming, and as much as I’d like to do it, it’s just too much. Basically everything has been re-touched with the help of mods. Improved combat, crafting, weapons & armor, magic system, completely overhauled perk trees etc. This means high difficulty, graphical fidelity and all the little details that go along with it.

My main goal when modding Skyrim has always been to turn it into a hardcore RPG.
