Skyrim is an incredibly beloved open-world RPG, and its thriving fan community has contributed a wide variety of mods that allow players to enhance and customize the experience. Bethesda recently decided to get in on the action, adding 13 spooky mods to Skyrim Special Edition as part of a Halloween celebration.
The list of Featured Mods includes new weapons, armor, modified quests, and summonable creatures, among others. Gamers with a taste for seasonal spooks may be pleased to see that everything on the list features something strange, creepy, or downright gory. Off-putting content and imagery seem to be the criteria Bethesda looked for when adding mods to the list, and the additions made to the open world game should prove to be a lot of fun for those looking to get into the Halloween spirit.
The showcase begins with the Medusa & Drakul Armor mod created by ZerofrostSatyr, which was ported by Xthelostnekox, and the Bloody Bones weapon created by XvomTheMad and ported by Clofas1. After them comes the Soul Cairn Shack mod by Betalille, which adds a small empty shack to Skyrim's dangerous Soul Cairn location, and The Brotherhood Of Old questline mod by Tom_Tesoro. The Ebony Battle Spiders - Conjuration Spell by ShadowCrosserX is next, and it allows players to summon custom creatures.
Also featured are Foxpaw Manor by Ar7ific1al, Soul Rift by Chris514, and Adalvald's Retreat by ToggleAI, all of which are mods that add spooky new buildings and locations to Skyrim. The Unique Vampire Dens mod by Gonkish, ported by HarriHoney, adds a variety of new vampire dens to the setting, The Grim Apothecary mod by SkaerKrow and Grim Potions mod by Naxmaardur, with art by Shadeocai and ported by BraccaMykar79, add a different kind of vampiric flavor. Finally, the Ignicia - Flame Atronach Follower and Lady Embers - Burnt Spriggan Follower mods by Uiea bring a pair of marriageable monsters to the Dragonborn's party.
All of the mods presented in this Skyrim Featured Mods showcase are playable on Xbox, but some specific mods are also available on PC or PlayStation. The Medusa & Drakul Armor, Bloody Bones, Soul Cairn Shack, Soul Rift, Unique Vampire Dens, and Grim Potions mods are all exclusive to Xbox, while Grim Apothecary, Adalvald's Retreat, Lady Embers - Burnt Spriggan Follower, Ignicia - Flame Atronach Follower, and Foxpaw Manor all offer PlayStation versions. PC owners who want some holiday spooks can explore The Brotherhood Of Old, Ebony Battle Spiders - Conjuration Spell, Foxpaw Manor, Ignicia - Flame Atronach Follower, Lady Embers - Burnt Spriggan Follower, and Adalvald's Retreat.
The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim is out now for PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One.
