What's the best mod ever made for a Bethesda game? Tell us about it or show us!

Posted by Alex Sinclair in Video Games

Few studios' modding communities are as dedicated and creative as Bethesda's. It's thanks to them that 13 years after Skyrim's release, the game is still going strong.

So be they hilarious, ridiculous, impressive, life-improving, graphic-enhancing, or anything else, tell us which mod for a Bethesda game is the best of the best. Better yet, show us with images or video. No matter the medium with which you enter, we're looking for at least 40 words of text explaining why the mod is so great.

That is a hard one there so many great mods that improve the games it is hard to choose one but I am going to go with Sounds of Skyrim - The Wilds

This mod is a great addition to Skyrim as it helps add to the background ambience from adding sounds of various animals to enhancing sounds of walking through various landscapes and new weather sound effects overall it adds over 400 new sound effects to the game.

I haven't played with too much modded skyrim, the only ones that i've played with are just Quality of Life mods such as SKYUI that revamped the UI screen to better navigate it.

And I don’t know if this counts but the unofficial skyrim patch is also one that I’ve always used. Since the patch helped with fixing some bugs and may help with some other mods.

Mainly because it allows you to skip the Helgen cart intro. Skyrim's introduction has often been the target of memes due to its length, as players are unable to interact with the game for five minutes, aside from limited camera movements.(Word count: 40)

Thanks Limal! We're looking for at least 40 words of text for this one. Could you tell us about the mod and why you think it's great

thanks, I've installed special app to count symbols

Quite possibly the Fallout 3 mod that let's you skip the tutorial.

Fallout 3 has an infamously slow tutorial that begins from your birth, to a birthday party, to you in school and choosing your stats. If I'm honest on a first playthrough it was incredibly charming and great in getting you settled to Vault life but on repeated playthroughs - you'll be begging for this mod.

I've created a Skyrim mod myself where almost all the NPCs were overhauled. Each one with a different skin and tattoos. I like to customise my Bethesda games that way. Before I had the chance to make it public my PC died and there was no backup. But I think the best mod for me has to be this one created by Blurbs. It is a custom mod that turns Twitch chats into the NPC voices. It's a very fun and interactive way to stream and connect with the audience on a whole new level.

That's very cool

It has been so many years since I used these mods so I cant remember the names. If that voids my submission then im just happy to share.

Mods that improve being a werewolf.

After finally getting the curse it was such an anticlimax. There isnt much point in turning in to a werewolf and you dont get any benefits from feeding that I remember.

The mods you can get however make becoming a werewolf the OP play through it should be. It didnt break the game though (well it could literally crash it) as larger non human enemies still posed a good fight.

Being a muscle ripped wolfman that can be taken out by a town guard with a dodgy knee is not fun.

this had me rolling when i first saw it. around the 1.53 mark. but if you know this intro to skyrim you know it should be a dragon here... but seeing thomas in its place is gold.

This is another classic! Where did the Thomas the Tank Engine modding trend even come from?

Everyone like laugh also me and this is very best mod ever made because I think this will be exciting when we are faced with the game that bring tension and serious situations, and silly mods are present to complement the elements in game

Okey Thanks, I'll Fixed

Choosing the "best" mod for a Bethesda game is subjective and can vary based on personal preferences. However, one mod is super useful as it fixes Skyrim's abysmal UI and UX. To me it's still a mystery, what designers were thinking then releasing the game, thankfully we have the SkyUI Team

It is also the most popular mod on Nexus

Horror and Cats 6/3/2024, 10:41:08 AM

Oh it’s DEFINITELY the Catnip for Khajiits mod for Skyrim, wonderfully showcased by Outside Xtra

I’m horror and cats and I approve this message.
