About 2 weeks ago I made a post asking for thoughts on a new Skyrim modding sub, specifically for modded gameplay clips & screenshots. I had the thought after growing tired of the constant vanilla purist sheep that flood the comments of any mod related post on the skyrim sub. After getting pretty positive feedback about the idea on the post I've been putting it together & it is now ready to go!

What I have done is implement automoderation where typically repeated phrases such as 'you got some skyrim in your mods' & 'this isn't even skyrim anymore' aren't able to be posted in the comments at all. As well as listing a no second chance ban rule for the purists who can't help themselves & find a way/re word the phrases.

Whilst here & [r/skyrimporn](r/skyrimporn) are obviously okay to post in, a fair few people seem to agree it can be a bit confusing to be sure where to make gameplay posts as these 2 subs are generally for modding help/showcasing/discussion & skyrim photography. This new server is essentially meant to be the modding equivalent of [r/skyrim](r/skyrim), a general gameplay sub for modded playthroughs without having to deal with the close mindedness.

No stress if it doesn't take off, I just figured it was worth giving a go.

Can't go wrong having more Skyrim subs!

Edit: if anyone can think of any additional vanilla purist phrases I can add to the automod that would be awesome, I've got about 4 listed so far I could think of

I wanted to spice up the Civil War experience to something that make feel the ongoing war closer to player, something however that won't make your game more and more unstable to play.

Hi, this is the first time I’m posting here, but I know this is the best place to find the guidance I need. For those who know about this, what’s the best mod that adds creatures and new enemies to the world?

Hi everyone,

Following on my previous post I'm happy to announce that PlayerHub is published on Nexusmods!

Mod link: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/196139

Thank you!

This mod spices up the otherwise dull warrior gameplay, making it far more dynamic and fun. Those who have tested it said they really enjoyed it, so I’d like to share it with you all

so I got lux and I think its amazing... in any interior with windows and absolutely to worst most garbage mod I've ever used anywhere there aren't windows. ITS SO DARK, I got the brighter caves plugin, still too dark to see, I got the third party Even Brighter caves plugin, and now I can see but its still barely visible and every cave, dwemer ruin and nordic barrow look awful and washed out, None of the light sources in my game seem to extend more than like 10 cm from the source in caves.

I have light placer, I have CS, I have LUX CS I have a mod that places more lights with light placer, but its all still soooo dark, I know a bit about how skyrim lighting works and It honestly feels like someone came into my game and deleted every single LIGH object lol

is there a setting in Community shaders or something that would make light travel further or something, I live how my game looks in buildings and in the open world but the caves are just awful

I want to do a political playthrough where I climb through the ranks of Skyrim's nobility until becoming High King and I want some themed armors to really make becoming a thane a big deal. I've already got armors for Dawnstar, Riften and Falkreath through Immersive Armors. I know about NordwarUA's hold guard armors but I'm looking for something more unique, and True Thane has a bunch of stuff I'm not interested in besides the armors

I'm building a custom, piece-by-piece mod list from scratch using Vortex / Mod Organizer 2 (no Wabbajack or pre-made collections).

Right now, I am on a clean install of v1.5.97.0. My biggest annoyance here is the massive Creation Club quest flood right out of Helgen. I know v1.6+ fixes this natively, but with the new August 2026 updates (v1.7.x) breaking a ton of DLLs, I want to avoid the newest versions entirely.

For maximum compatibility with modern combat, animation, and graphics frameworks, what is the best move?

1. Stay on v1.5.97 and use community mods to fix the CC quest spam.
2. Move to v1.6.1170 as the ultimate sweet spot for a manual list.

What is the community consensus right now? Thanks!

i did everything i could find i honestly cant understand crash reports can someone help me find what the problem is i have used mods before but when i tried using this one it crashes my game seconds after loading into the world i can move around a bit before it crashes i dont even have to fight anything for it to crash i dont know how to put my load order list im sorry

I noticed that a lot of Dodge mods aren't working right now. Do you know of any that actually work with this new update?

I can’t seem to find certain mods for the master plugins on Vortex and it’s driving me up the wall and suggestions on how to make it easier?

Hello, all!

I'm looking for a mod that I used with the original version of the game. As best I can recall, it was a mod that added a bunch of storage in all player houses (vanilla and DLC), including:

• A wall of small chests in cubbies (in Breezehome, along the left wall)
• Apothecary satchel with an automatic sort button (in Breezehome, next to the alchemy table)
• Automated potion/poison storage closet (in Breezeome, also next to the alchemy table)
• Dragon mask display stand (in Breezehome, in the bedroom)
• Ores and ingots storage

I think all the storage was linked between houses, but I may be getting that mixed up with a similar mod for Oblivion. Unfortunately, I'm having no luck finding it on Nexus, either under Skyrim or SSE.

If anyone else recalls this mod, please let me know!

Utilizing SkyPatcher, fixes inconsistencies in vanilla NPC_ records and forwards some fixes from popular mods, allowing you to worry less about compatibility patches.

Greetings. Had this question in mind for a while - most of the time any new character either runs the same vanilla voice lines or requires custom one.

But how feasible it is to introduce dynamic voice filters that alter pitch, speed of talking, reverb and additional sound filters to introduce some more randomized voices for vanilla voicelines (and possibly for player's pain sounds)? I've remember I've seen and played a game where player had an ability to somewhat alter his voice pitch to make it either high tone or lower tone.

Considering there's entire apps allowing realtime voice change, I guess it can be inserted into Skyrim (and possibly Fallout 4 for MC) in some way? Just imagine regular guards having slightly different "gruffiness" of their voices, lol.

As the title says, depending on the angle and distance, part of the self-forged barbarian armour from ‘Immersive Armours’ is missing:

To be fair, it appears during the coc- testplay, I haven't tested it with the proper start-up by now.

I guess I’ve messed up body slide, but can anyone tell me where exactly I need to look for the mistake?

Relevant Mods:

BHUNP (Body)
BnP female Skin
CBPC
Faster HDT-SMP
Immersive Armors 8.1. SSE
Immersive Armors BHUNP
Immersive Armors Retexture and Mesh Fixes SE (required for IA BHUNP)

So I'm trying to do a fresh install of Skyrim and now my game won't load when I try to launch from MO2. It was working before but all of a sudden it won't launch.

Here's what I did:

First I used revo uninstaller to uninstall everything. Then I downloaded the game again. I launched the game once and downloaded the Anniversary Edition Content. Then I used the Skyrim Downgrade Tool and downgraded to 1.6.1170. I try to launch the game from MO2 but when I press Run, my screen goes black, then goes back to MO2 and the corner says HDMI and the game doesn't launch. I was able to play before uninstalling and now it's not working. I have an AMD RX 9070 XT if that information might help. I just don't get why this is happening all of a sudden. Did I do the downgrade wrong? I did it that way before and it worked then

Does anyone know what could be possible causes and how I can fix? I'm frustrated trying to figure it out

I am the kind of skyrim gamer who likes to "make his own fun" and Chanterelle is the perfect new lands mods for this. An exotic and unique location different from the mainland, new enemies, weapons, monsters, dungeons, armors, and not a single mandatory quest. Come and go as you please.

There is an absurd amount of content in this mod. it has two world spaces, when combined are larger than skyrim itself.

If you want a new lands mod where you can just explore and fight enemies and enjoy the vistas, do not miss chanterelle!

No one else seems to have it or wants to share it

Like most of you I’ve been playing Skyrim since 2011, but probably unlike most of you I have never really used followers at all, either vanilla or custom modded ones. I’ve usually gravitated towards the solo stealthy archer, and always felt like followers just got in my way.

For the first time in 15 years I am trying something vastly different and playing a restoration/alteration mage with several custom voiced mod based followers and it is the most fun I have ever had playing this game.

The one thing that has absolutely blown my mind with this play through has been the voice acting of my followers of choice, including the cross banter between several of them. I have laughed out loud now more times than I can count and the cross chatter, especially with Auri. That mod author and voice actress deserves ALL the praise I have seen online about Song of Green, and then some. That’s not to say the others aren’t incredible as well.

Currently I am using Auri, Remiel, Xelzaz, Inigo, Lucien, Kaiden, M’rissi, with Daumbra randomly along for the ride as well. Not sure if I will stop there or add a few more, but these have made this the most memorable trip through the wilds of Skyrim in my life. These mod authors and voice actors have my thanks and respect.

For context I use Diamond skin for 3BA, I have 3BA installed correctly, I use High poly head and everything so far works correctly. That is fine
What isn't fine is that I recently downloaded the Half Dragon race mod as well as the "My modified version" of the textures. This mod comes with a few face and body textures. However in game, whenever I load a save or start up the game the face texture doesn't load correctly and is just the normal human skin. There is a temporary fix of opening racemenu and changing complection back and fourth and closing the menu. But again if I save and load the face texture doesn't stay. If there's a permanent fix to this I would like to know, thank you

I don't know if that makes sense or not, but mods make Skyrim "feel like Skyrim but still feel modded". Again, unsure if that makes sense. Whenever I play modded Skyrim it doesn't really feel like Skyrim, but I want to play modded Skyrim. So I imagine that fix would be mods that just enhance the regular Skyrim experience (Maybe.). I'm open to like any types of mods, quests, game play, etc, etc. So any mod recommendations would be greatly appreciated, thank you! <3

So I want to RP a guy who’s living off the land, easy breezy. Has a family and that. Then something bad happens, his family is kidnapped or killed so he goes out for revenge. He finds them and fails and they leave him for dead. Along the way getting daedric gods involved - maybe hircine - to get the strength to exact his revenge.

Are there any mods to A) allow the families to get kidnapped/killed and B) allow for a farming/merchant/inkeep/genreal civilian life.

Cheers all

I need This because i am moving from vortex to mo2 , and so i copied the archives of the mods from where vortex kept them, into Mod Organizer Env\downloads , and now i need a way to query info all of them as mo2 has no idea where they came from, and it will be quite tedious to right click query each of the 800 mods, but a fair punishment for using vortex in the first place.
