The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is as much a platform for mods as it is an open-world RPG about dumb dragons and dumber Vikings. Over the last seven years, an inconceivable number of them have been crafted, and while plenty have fallen by the wayside, others have become essential mainstays in anyone’s mod library.
With Skyrim Special Edition, things got a bit more complicated. Some old mods worked, some exploded, some sort of worked and then exploded – they were unpredictable. Now, though, things have calmed down. Most of the big mods have been ported over, and there are alternatives in those cases where they haven’t been. Regardless of which version you have, your biggest obstacle will be setting aside the time required to sift through them all. That’s where this list comes in.
Best Skyrim mods
Almost every mod here is available for both versions of Skyrim, with some exceptions where I’ve dug out something pretty similar. Check at the bottom of each entry for the Special Edition link. If you’ve got any suggestions, be sure to pop them in the comments. Since it’s a dense list, we’ve split it up into sections that you can search below.

Welcome to this week's discussion thread! If you’ve missed previous discussion topics you can check them out here. These discussions are intended to be ongoing, and I highly encourage you to contribute your own opinions and experiences to the posts. First a quick recap of how this works and what we expect:

Off through the new day's mist I run
Out from the new day's mist I have come I hunt Therefore I am Harvest the land Taking of the fallen lamb
It’s autumn in much of the northern hemisphere now. The leaves are turning shades of gold, red, and brown. The wind has shifted to the north and the darkness is starting to creep back in earlier and earlier. It’s harvest season, and not just for the fruits of the field. Where I’m from,
Let’s talk about mods that make the hunting experience in Skyrim more interesting and worthwhile. Whether it’s tools of the trade, better parts harvesting, cooking mods, trophy mods, great retextures, blood splatter mods, new places to hunt, new things to hunt, homes for hunters, or something else, your input is welcome here. Remember that there are many hunters and all kinds of prey, so gear for Hircine’s chosen, cannibalism mods for the Wild Hunt, or vampire/demon hunting tools also have their place here if you want them to.
I’ll offer up a few mods to get the conversation started.
Hunterborn - Naturally this had to be the first on the list. This mod offers a complete hunting overhaul experience. The primary feature is the new way that looting animal kills are handled. Instead of the generic loot window, you are now given options to skin, butcher, harvest, etc. No more “push button - receive raw meat” laziness. You have to work for your payoff. The looting overhaul is really just the tip of the arrow, though. You also gain new skills, new crafting, new tools, new recipes, and more. If your heart yearns for all the joy of the hunt, Hunterborn is a great foundation on which to build your playthrough.
For filtering, basic UI does a poor job compared to LFG. It is definitely. Sep 24, 2017 - Custom Keywords Spam Filter in both LFG tools and Chat channel. Remove All other LFG addon noises (That is why I recommend you to. Due to the popularity of addons like LookingForGroup, we have disabled. Lfg Disable (WQ Only if u wanna have only search for WQs). Looking for group addon. Hello guys, i am looking for an addon which can filter dungeons and raids. Raids could work because you can see what bosses the group has. Please install LookingForGroup Raider.IO addon if you are using Raider.IO addon. LookingForGroup now only allows group-invitations from friends.
Hunterborn - Scrimshaw Expanded - Gives you even more things to make with the bones, teeth, and tusks of the animals you hunt. There’s new weapons, jewelry, tools, and alchemy ingredients. More importantly, these items are carved, not smithed, so you don’t require a forge to make them. Enjoy acquiring a hobby to while away the evening as you unwind in front of the fire after a long day.
Hunters Not Bandits - I’ll be the first to admit that seeing a burly hunter streaking through the trees shrieking “Never should have come here!” at a rabbit on the run is hilarious..the first time. After that it swiftly becomes absurd, and dare I say, unimmersive. This simple mod fixes that. Now hunters stalking animal prey will silently draw their bows and move in for the kill, no fuss, no monologue.
Peltapalooza - Is a fantastic retexure of the animal pelts and skins you encounter throughout Skyrim, including some rugs, the tanning rack, wall decorations, and even hide tent textures. Great stuff with the high quality and attention to detail that Gamwich is known for.
Now let’s hear your ideas for ways to make a hunter playthrough more satisfying.
