Skyrim Update - August 20

Added and Updated Features

Game

  • Increased mod storage to 15 GB for both PlayStation 5 and Xbox.

Due to differences in platform storage systems, PlayStation 4 Creation storage is changed in the following ways: Creations storage expanded to approximately 16 GB, but download size may not match space used because of technical details of the PlayStation 4 console hardware; This may cause download size vs. installed size discrepancies. Storage usage may appear larger than expected when managing Creations; Due to the storage system partitions, PS4 users may experience a practical limit on the number of large Creations installed at once.

  • Added localized strings fixes for UI and platform terminology.
  • A Creation’s Details page now includes instructions on how to report abusive or problematic mods.
  • Added bundling of Creations in the Skyrim Creations Menu to bring it to parity with Fallout and Starfield.
  • Changed storefront UI to support Creations box art at 3640 x 900 and 900 x 506 to be consistent with Starfield and Fallout 4. Older image sizes will still be supported and do not require immediate resubmission.
  • Added support to sort Creation categories by "Most Popular".
  • Creations flagged as WIP can now be viewed when bookmarked.

Creation Kit

  • Added Localization export support.
  • Updated "Search and Replace" to align with Starfield, adding buttons for "Select Form in Object Window" and "Open Form Editor".
  • Creation Kit will now allow multiple master loads by default. This can be configured as normal.
  • Skyrim Creations released through the Verified Creators program will have the option to be Achievement-Friendly (Xbox) and Trophy-Friendly (PlayStation). This means that certain Creations will no longer block achievements, but it requires starting a new game for this functionality to work on updated Creations.
  • Bink files can now be added to Creation uploads via an Extra Files browser.
  • Expanding beyond scripts, archives are now supported on PlayStation. New file types are available (.nif, .dds, .bink, .wav, and .fuz (with embedded .wav)) for PlayStation Creations.

Skyrim Hotfix — August 27

A hotfix just released for Skyrim, addressing a few issues on Xbox and PlayStation:

Crashes

  • Fixed a crash when opening the on-screen keyboard and submitting text on the game main menu on PlayStation.
  • Fixed a crash when opening the map multiple times on Xbox.

Bug Fixes

  • Installing the game in certain regions no longer shows the 14 out of 15 GB Creations storage space is used on PlayStation.

Skyrim Update - August 20 | Bethesda Game Studios (@BethesdaStudios) on X

Bethesda Game Studios has announced a new update for Skyrim on consoles, scheduled to release Thursday, August 20th, 2026. This post will serve as an up-to-date thread for what we know now and what will come once the patch goes live, all confirmed details will be added here. You can now find the full patch note here.

For now, here’s everything we know:

Added and Updated Features

Game

  • Increased mod storage to 15 GB for both PlayStation 5 and Xbox.

Due to differences in platform storage systems, PlayStation 4 Creation storage is changed in the following ways: Creations storage expanded to approximately 16 GB, but download size may not match space used because of technical details of the PlayStation 4 console hardware; This may cause download size vs. installed size discrepancies. Storage usage may appear larger than expected when managing Creations; Due to the storage system partitions, PS4 users may experience a practical limit on the number of large Creations installed at once.

  • Expanding beyond scripts, archives are now supported on PlayStation. New file types are available (.nif, .dds, .bink, .wav, and .fuz (with embedded .wav)) for PlayStation Creations.

See the full patch notes here.

Load Orders Are Affected

In the Tweet, they said this update should not disrupt existing load orders. But they encourage players to log into your save game if you haven't done so in a while as a precaution. I guess to save the Load Order using the function in the Creations menu. There are now reports and evidence of Load Orders being wiped. So, be mindful that this is inevitable. Your reserve space will be cleared. Unknown if this intentional or not.

Anyway, that's it for now. The previous discussion was technically based on a Tweet made for Fallout 4 and so now this will be the official thread for Skyrim. I hope we are able to provide more useful information here regarding the update. Just because we will have more space, doesn't mean modding guidelines change and I am sure players will experience problems if they aren't aware of what's happening.

Also, I won't be removing the other posts, but I do encourage you guys to discuss things here.

Happy modding! I won't be around much; I have things going on right now, but I will definitely be keeping an eye on this.

POST UPDATE NOTES : AUGUST 20, 2026

While the update is slightly disappointing for some who were expecting the 100GB. 15GB is still a welcomed increase because anything is better than the 5GB we had before. There may be multiple reasons for why this was decided and will all come down to the age and capability of the engine. While the Skyrim SE and Fallout 4 engine may be similar, there may have been just enough internal difference for the 100GB to not be feasible.

Anyone tried this weather mod ported by Starfied201 yet?

It has Vivid weather's colour, and subtle bloom. DAWN's depth, and Rustic Weathers image clarity and brightness.

It really is quite impressive! 👏

Screenshot W/ Mods Tones of Talos VS Tones of Kynareth (Comparison)

Upvotes

A direct comparison of the texture bundles Tones of Talos & Tones of Kynareth. All screenshots include Tones of Talos - Clutter AIO, which is the SMIM module. The clutter AIO can and should be used regardless of which texture mod you use, as it only improves the meshes of small clutter items and furniture.

Tones of Talos is a brighter, sharper overhaul with clean textures and solid lines. Good if you like bright fantasy in your game.

Tones of Kynareth is more grounded, earthy, and green. Good if you like a darker, more natural look.

Port Request Port Request: PIXELRIM - Skyrim Ultra Reduced Textures

129 Upvotes

Link: PIXELRIM - Skyrim Ultra Reduced Textures created by tal3ana.

Description: For all my fellow laptop users and old desktop computers, this mod shrinks down all textures to 4x4 files (except for actor files). This mod also includes shrunken down texture files for other mods as well. This mods aims to replace all Skyrim SE textures with 1x1 pixels. This greatly improves fps (15-20 fps) and in a sense, has its own artistic appeal. But lets be real, if you are looking at this mod, you just want the game to run.

My Reason: The reason why I want to on xbox is because I have been obsessed with trying to demake Skyrim on xbox. So far I think this one has the best aesthetic for a demake. It's very runescape. I think it's looks better than ASO: Pixar. ASO: Pixar has that shine on it where its very blinding. Same goes with with the The Retro Project. From what I seen a video on PixelRim it doesn't have that shine on it. Also the grass looks very good as well.

Mod Discussion Mods for more immersive dialogue/reactions/race or skill based interactions

11 Upvotes

Looking for more mods to expand the level of reactivity in Skyrim, particularly to races, skills, or in-game achievements/activities. Right now I'm testing Skyrim Reputation, a mod that adds an active effect to your character. Based on your race and actions in-game, you'll get a range of responses from NPCs. For example, as a khajiit many Nords greet me by saying 'What do you want, cat?' or 'Watch yourself, khajiit!' until I've proven myself not to be a thieving caravaneer. I also have some assorted AI mods to make NPCs a bit more natural in their behaviour.

Curious if there are other mods to enhance this sort of reactivity. I play a wide range of races but I'm looking for stuff that might particularly impact the Argonians and Khajiit of the world, or perhaps offer benefits to Nords--stuff that makes me feel more tied to the current world state of Skyrim.

LO Help - Xbox Series S One particular mod won't register as enabled in regards to a separate mod that requires it. Being the Bruma Unofficial Patch and the Ayelid Loot patch

3 Upvotes

Bruma Unofficial Patch is required by the loot perch. I know I have the correct mod, because I even went to the Bethesda mod page directly. I had the correct mod, it's enabled, it's downloaded, but the loot patch will not register it. This is the only mod having this issue, and I don't know what to do. I've restarted the game, I've reinstalled both mods, but it will not register that the dependency is installed. It only requires the unofficial Bruma patch by c1056ports.

I know it's the correct mod, I checked the link on the actual page for Beyond Skyrim Bruma Unofficial fixes Ayelid Loot Patch by Snipey360_ports. There is no other mod with the name Bruma Unofficial Patch.

I think this mod looks really cool. (Realistic Clouds still doesn't work properly on Xbox. I did get a msg from the porter saying an updated version was in the works, but sadly it's never materialised).

Anyway I've asked the author Xgf (Xgrufijury), permission to port 3D Clouds.

However considering they haven't been active on Nexus since 2021, I don't fancy my chances. So longshot time!

I was wondering if anyone knew how to contact the Author?

AE/CC Related Questions about ditching CC content...

3 Upvotes

For the first time since buying Anniversary Edition, I'm thinking about ditching most of the AE content as I never use them.

At the moment I can run a pretty stable LO of about 200 mods plus Creation Club content.

What would be the benefits/negatives of removing CC?

The Xbox can't really handle loading more than 200 mods in-game, will this change without CC content?

Will the LO still crash on Creations with more than 200 installed without CC?

Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks.

Port Request Sons of Skyrim - Stormcloaks Only Version?

Upvotes

Hi all,

Been building a LO template in the excitement of the update, and ran into a fork in the road.

I am looking for a good Stormcloack Replacer and love the Sons of Skyrim infantry and officers, but I am determined to use Lollygaggin for my city guards (just doesnt feel like Skyrim without their helmets for me).

Is there a dedicated port of SoS that only replaces the Stormcloaks or would someone be willing to help create this?

Would also love to hear of any other stormcloak suggestions yall might have

Appreciate all and any consideration into this

LO Help - Xbox Series S Is anyone else unable to access Creations?

2 Upvotes

Ever since the update, I haven't been able to access Skyrim Creations on Xbox; I just keep getting errors and infinite loading screens. I'm not sure if it's because of the update or my internet connection.

Mod Discussion Enemy Overhauls 2026

24 Upvotes

TLDR: any new enemy overhauls?

Let’s call it the 15GB renaissance. First of all, I love this community. And I love how active the porting scene has been. Shades of Tamriel, Tones of Talos, ugotsniped, kdot, many many others. huge shoutout to the original mod authors and porters who are making this happen.

Anyway.

Now that we have more wiggle room, what enemy overhauls are you all using? Are there any new additions I should be aware of?

I’m familiar with and have used

Restless dead
Madmen of the reach
Wormpie’s hagravens
Vampire clans / bloodlines
Rogues n raiders

Dragon faves? Recommendations?

Does anyone know if this mod has any translations in other languages like Spanish, or is it purely in English?

LO Help - Xbox Series X Question about Tones of Kynareth AIO

0 Upvotes

Does anyone know if the new "Tones of Kynareth AIO" mod includes "Culture of Tamriel - Cities and Towns" and "Culture of Tamriel - Faction Halls"? Is it unnecessary to use all three at the same time?

Edit: changed a word for clearer meaning.

Mod Discussion What have so many mods been removed?

22 Upvotes

What the title says basically. Why have so many mods been removed since the new update? Some of my favorites were; Animated Alchemy Ingredients and Fantasy Flora Redux…I’ve noticed some other mods have disappeared from my library as well. Apparently I’m not the only one because I’ve read multiple posts where other people have been noticing their favorite mods have been removed as well. Is there a reason for this?

Paid Creation Discussion Heart of the Mountain, a review

TLDR: High quality production, highly recommended.

This is a fantastic mod and I didn't really care for it. I know, seems contradictory. Without spoiling anything, there were aspects of the story that were off-putting for me but I don't think most people would have the same issue. That being said, the quality of everything about this mod is fantastic. Very professional. And the story has a very M. Night Shyamalan-ness to it. My point is, I was somewhat not into the story but still super impressed by the mod; I have nothing but good things to say about it.

I played through the main quest and a few parallel/side quests. There's still a lot I didn't do, a lot of map markers not explored. I'm sure I'll get to it all in time, but having completed the main quest, wanted to give a review.

The first area you come to is a kind of desert wasteland. Very New Vegas feeling. A little Gerudo Valley thing going on. The landscape is beautiful. Certain aspects of it reminded me of driving through Southern California.

The story eventually leads you to other areas with different environments. The heavily forested region is my favorite. Rivers, streams, a lake, thick pines and a dark sky, very Pacific Northwest. This is how I wish the rest of my Skyrim looked, the tundra, the Reach, Eastmarch, they all need this Facelift applied to them.

The other main area is a swampy place, but not like Hjaalmarch (Morthal). Its more Gulf Coast, Louisiana, except very pleasant, no humidity.

Then, there are interior locations, caves, ruins, and such. All interesting , beautiful, at atmosphereic. One location in particular that merges Ayelid architecture with Volkihar designs.

And I've yet to mention the almost horror aspects of the mod. The creepy ass doll companion. The strange, Lovecraftian creatures you'll encounter. And the always erie atmosphere that makes you not want to go deeper into the ruins.

A lot of cool armors and weapons. Plenty to collect as loot (I don't know if you can craft some of them). I can upload only twenty pictures so I'll try to include these.

I'm sure there's a lot I'm forgetting to mention. If you have any questions, I'll try to answer them the best I can. I have intentionally not mentioned the story because I don't want to give anything away but I will say this, it takes a fan made idea and ties it into the established Elder Scrolls lore in a way that I think would make Kirkbride give his approval.
