So where do all the best mods come from? Nexus Mods In fact, modding Skyrim became sort of a hobby of mine.

I have never paid a cent for a mod that I’ve installed, and I’ve installed hundreds of them. However, do not ever pay for mods because all the best mods are hosted outside of Bethesda’s Official Creation Kit. There were certain limitations of course, but things have changed. Skyrim Mods (LE & SE)īethesda has basically updated its game for the newest consoles at the time ( Xbox One & PS4) and given players the ability to finally utilize mods on them. There are also promotions and game marketplaces where you can often get the game for around $10 – $15. If you’re on Xbox One or PS4, then SE is your game.Įveryone else on PC who never got into modding Skyrim should go with SE since the price difference is less than 10% and there is no question about the performance & stability gains SE brings to the table plus future mod support. Owners of the previous, or second previous if you count the latest upcoming consoles, should get LE. So before we go into mods ( which is pretty much what keeps this game alive today), let’s recap quickly. Mod authors are embracing a better game engine that provides far more resources and stability for their work. It used to be when it first came out (and a year or two after) that players would not want to buy it BECAUSE all of the major mods were for LE and SE was a mod desert so to speak, but now the reverse is true.

The reason why it’s so important is because all the major upcoming mods are developed for it, almost exclusively. However, this is NOT the reason why Skyrim SE is so important today in 2020.
