These are Cloaks of Skyrim and Winter is Coming. There are 2 main cloak mods in Skyrim that enhance the Game of Thrones feel when exploring cities and dungeons. You wouldn’t realise how much of a difference this makes, but once you have it installed you’ll wonder why Bethesda didn’t put it in the vanilla game. It hasn’t been updated since 2013 though, so you might prefer alternatives like Thematic Loot.įootprints does exactly what it says giving you and different creatures in Skyrim footprints in the snow. It also modifies alchemy recipes and food, making for some interesting new gameplay mechanics. No longer are you killing a deer and getting one piece of meat and an arrow you’ll be able to get multiple cuts, and a realistic amount of eyes and teeth and all that. Who needs lanterns when you have a stick of fire though? Realistic Wildlife Loot and Recipes lets you hunt animals and creatures across the land and get what you deserve. There’s no need for those ugly torches anymore. Then you can get Wearable Lanterns, so you have cool torchbug-lanterns attached to your waist. Ever switch from a bow to a sword only to have your ugly iron arrows still equipped? This changes it so that ammo is only equipped when wielding a bow or crossbow.

Before we get to the hardcore stuff, let’s look at some mods that make some small quality of life improvements.įirst there’s Auto Unequip Ammo, a mod that does exactly what it says. This is just the part where the tundra isn’t trying to kill you. Here’s a list of amazing Skyrim Immersion mods that’d probably make you feel frigid and frosty IRL. For now though, there are a ton of amazing graphics mods to make the old Skyrim look pristine and new, but if you’re looking to play it in a grisly, hardcore fashion like the wintry and mountainous conditions indicate, look no further. It’s still tough to beat the non-special edition of Skyrim if you want to be fully immersed. Although Bethesda’s Special Edition of Skyrim features improved graphics and a 64 bit application in a new version of the Creation Engine, the modding community was always stronger with the original. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim has been around for many years now, and it still doesn’t show any signs of leaving the realm of public consciousness.
